"THAT FOX IS SUPERFLOUS" shouted Captain Obvious. "But pretty pictures!" cried the Skeleton. Captain Obvious hesitated, clearly torn. After a long pause, he sighed. "I guess you've got me there" he said. (NB: I will probably remove this example when I have something of value to put in its place) --- diff --git a/chapters/Background.tex b/chapters/Background.tex index 605b4a2..751dbe9 100644 --- a/chapters/Background.tex +++ b/chapters/Background.tex @@ -14,16 +14,29 @@ A paper by paper summary of the literature is also available at: \\ \url{http:// \section{Document Formats} -\subsection{History} - Since mankind climbed down from the trees... \rephrase{plagiarism alert!} \subsection{Vector Graphics vs Raster Graphics} -Raster Graphics: Stores the exact pixels as they would appear on a device.

The top image is a vector graphics drawing which has been scaled. The bottom image was a raster image of the original drawing which has then been scaled by the same amount. Scaling in = interpolation/antialiasing/just scale the pixels depending on the viewer and scale; scaling out = blurring of pixels by averaging of neighbours.
