This is a format created in the Acorn Draw program, intended for image visualization by using vector lines. It’s used for storing information in the publishing business (brochures, logotypes, etc.). The main advantage is it’s high quality source images when printing. It’s been in use since 1980.

This is a vector image created in the Adobe Illustrator program. It consists of lines that connect points; it’s used in SMI and during the creation of logotypes. They can be increased without lose of quality since they don’t contain raster image data. AI consists of a header, identifier strings and graphics objects. It functions to present graphical images in EPS format.

This is a format used for storing clipart images for working with CorelDRAW vector imaging. It’s used for entering separate, prepared graphical elements into a vector graphics design. It’s used as a blank template and is distributed in the form of millions of prepared cliparts which can compliment your own design.

This is a format for storing graphical information, created in the CorelDRAW program. It can contain raster and vector images. It’s used exclusively in vector editors from the Corel company. For use in third-party software it’s necessary to use converters. Version 10 and earlier can be opened in vector software from Adobe. CDR can be opened also with the help of Inkscape and sK1 programs.

This is a vector imaging format used in the CorelDRAW editor. It has a template that can be applied for other designs, including styles, grid parameters, page layout and other parameters. The CDT template allows for the creation of several images in one style without changing the settings in manual mode.

This is used to exchange vector graphics among different platforms. It stores not only 2D vector images, but also raster images. It allows you to store a large number of graphical information types and is applied primarily for design in aviation, engineering and other technical fields.

This format is used for data exchange in programs that work with vector graphics from Corel, and also for printing completed designs. It contains image data and also the metadata that describes it. In CMX it’s possible to store layers that can be independently edited. The format is recognized by Adobe Illustrator versions 6-8.

This is a file for creating designer instructions for Tajima embroidery machines with set computerized control. It contains a set of codes and coordinates that control needle work, stops, laying seams or skipping sections. It contains data regarding vector formats and color pallets.

This format is applied in universal vector graphics in Windows applications. It’s used to store collections of graphical drawings. It stores data in the RGB range, not supporting the CMYK system. It can be used as the graphics language for a printer driver. It has a 16-bit structure.

This is a format for storing graphical vector images used in the Adobe Illustrator program and other software for processing vector graphics. EPS can have a binary or ASCII structure. It can contain raster images, 2D vector graphics and text. It’s also applied as a convenient format for transmitting images among several programs or operation systems.

This is used for creating scheme files with a set of instructions for embroidery on Melco and Bernina sewing machines. The EXP format for Melco sewing machines contains only information about skips, which create necessary patterns. EXP for Bernina already contains information regarding thread color schemes used in a design. The files are edited and created in vector graphics processing programs.

This is a file used for creating line plots in the form of vector images. They include text objects, splines, forms, arcs, lines and arrows. It can contain a set of colors, images and sketches. It was initially developed for the Xfig drawing program, but today it’s used in other drawing editors.

This format is used for sewing software on Windows for creating seams with a specific layout. It contains template information that can be sown onto the necessary material on programable sewing equipment. It contains vector imaging for templates.

It is used for computerized automation on Brother, Babylock, and Bernina sewing machines to create different types of embroidery. These files are created using specialized vector graphics software or the CorelDraw editor. It consists of the 'pass' and 'stop' commands as well as algorithms for applying thread colors.

A vector images format for the HP plotter, created with the help of the Hewlett-Packard Graphics language. It consists of a set of two-character encoding which determines the allocation of starting points in the plotter. It’s used in various programs for plotting and it’s scalable, maintaining image quality. It has an ASCII structure and is an equivalent to HPG files.

This is an expansion of the PostScript programming language that’s often used in the publishing business. It was developed in 1982 by Adobe Systems. Before the introduction of PS, printing text and images on one page wasn’t possible. PostScript makes this possible by giving a printer commands to print out text and graphical information as needed. PS also contains print coordinates for objects on a page.

This format is a vector images file in the Sketch Drawing program, which serves to edit and create interface designs, applications and software shells. SK-files contain objects and layers which can be edited independently of each other.

This is a vector images format created in a program for SK1 drawings, which was developed under Linux for open distribution. It contains vector graphics and is used for storing maps, brochures, logos and other illustrations. Today it’s used in vector graphics editors such as Sketch and Skencil.

SVG is a markup language, scalable vector graphics, created by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), designed for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector / raster graphics in XML. Supports both and animated, interactive graphics and declarative scripting. Not support the description of three-dimensional objects. The basis of SVG VML formed markup languages and PGML.

A format for storing vector graphics in Windows, involved in the direct output of an image in a specific context on the screen of a graphical device. It’s also used for transferring information from the clipboard. It supports a 24-bit RGB-color palette and is used to export graphics in Windows.
