As opposed to the raster image formats above (where the data describes the characteristics of each individual pixel), vector image formats contain a geometric description which can be rendered smoothly at any desired display size.
 
At some point, all vector graphics must be rasterized in order to be displayed on digital monitors. Vector images may also be displayed with analog [[Cathode -ray tube|CRT]] technology such as that used in some [[electronic test equipment]], [[medical monitors]], [[radar]] displays, [[Laser light show|laser shows]] and [[Spacewar!|early video games]]. [[Plotter]]s are printers that use vector data rather than pixel data to draw graphics.
