What do you know about Vector Graphic images?







NB Do Now 2/26/20

Vector Graphic images are made up of points and line segments.

They are also resolution independent (they don't get blurry when scaled up)








NB Do Now 

What is the fill and stroke setting here?

Why could it give you trouble while you're doing your work?







NB Do Now 

The fill is set to none and the stroke is set to black.

It is difficult to select shapes when the fill is set to none.





How can you deselect one shape out of several selected shapes?


You can deselect one shape out of several selected shapes by shift-clicking on it.





What original drawing will you add to your Fantasy-Scape file?
