A '''vector graphic editor''' is a [[computer program]] that enables its users to create, compose and edit images with the use of mathematical and geometrical commands rather than individual pixels. This software is used in creating high-definition [[Vector graphics|vector graphic]] [[image]]s that can be scaled indefinitely without losing their quality. The output is saved in vector graphic formats, such as [[Encapsulated PostScript|EPS]], [[OpenDocument|ODG]], or [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]].
