Drawing software : vector-based images defined by maths formulae. ● Drawing software is vector-based, or object-based, software. Vector graphics are made up of many individual objects which are defined by mathematical formulae and individual properties such as colour, fill and outline. Al(AdobeIllustrator)and CDR (CorelDraw)are two common vector formats.
