Vector Graphics

• also called geometric modeling or object-oriented
  graphics
• use of geometrical primitives such as points,
  lines, curves and polygons, which are all based
  upon mathematical equations to represent images
  in computer graphics.

Algorithm

• The mathematical equations used to represent
  images in computer graphics are called algorithms.

The difference
The best way to see the difference is to look at
the different types of graphics in two different
programs. Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator
