Welcome to Graphic
Graphic is a feature-packed vector illustration application, with all the tools you need to create everything from intricate designs to beautiful works of art. Graphic was created from the ground-up as a native iOS application, fully taking advantage of UIKit, Core Graphics, Core Text, and many of the powerful technologies in iOS.
Vector Illustration
Unlike bitmap drawing applications, which focus on editing the individual pixels of an image, vector designs are created using objects and paths. Vector paths - consisting of points, lines, and curves - can be painted and lled. Multiple paths can be used together to create detailed intricate objects, while multiple objects can then be arranged to create a larger design.
Original - 100%
Scaling a bitmap image vs. scaling a vector image. The original vector image remains crisp when enlarged, without any loss of quality. A bitmap version of the same image loses quality when enlarged.
