    I used to love Mitch Hedberg… I still do, but I used to, too.

    I love that you call it raster graphics, makes it sound much more archaic somehow.

      Because vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.

      Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.

      Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

        I know. I was just remarking on the use of words. Thanks for the explanation?

    I don’t like that vector graphics have poor zooming performance. When I pinch to zoom on a pdf it takes ages to load.
