- Vector Graphics (aka object-oriented graphics) are composed of paths and use mathematical relationships between points and the paths connecting them to describe an image.

· WMF - (Windows Metafile) WMF is a 16-bit format and stores a list of function calls that have to be issued to the Windows graphics layer GDI in order to restore the image. It can contain both vector information and bitmap information.
· EPS - (Encapsulated PostScript) is the next best thing if the graphics application you are using cannot read vector files.
These are files which contain the same mathematical descriptions as the vector files they are made from.
Even bitmaps can be saved in the EPS file format. EPS files are supported by almost all graphic applications. It is the most portable format for this reason.
It is best to use EPS files for all line art and illustrations because they can be reproduced at any size or resolution and still be shown exactly as they were drawn. Use them wherever native vector files cannot be used.
EPS files are pretty much self-contained files that describe an image or drawing, that can be placed within another PostScript document.
