Working with vector objects

A vector object is a computer graphic whose shape is defined by a path. The shape of a vector path is determined by points that are plotted along the path. A vector object's stroke color follows the path, and its fill occupies the area inside the path. The stroke and fill determine how the graphic looks when published in print or on the web.

Vector object shapes include basic shapes, Auto Shapes (vector object groups that have special controls for adjusting their attributes), and free-form shapes. You can use a variety of tools and techniques to draw and edit vector objects.
