[WIP] Compass Rose attempt

I guess if you want to say it's all 1's and 0's everything is the same but somehow that doesn't seem to be the case.

I thought basically (really basically) Raster = Pixels, Vector = curves.

I thought basically (really basically) Raster = Pixels, Vector = curves.

Roughly speaking, yes.

Raster data consists of samples taken at regular points. In the case of raster images, the samples are some sort of quantification of colour.

Vector data consists of an abstract description of shapes and their properties. Again, in the case of the images, the primary property would be quantified colour.

"More abstract" would be a reasonable way to describe vector data, but I'm not even sure how it would be meaningful to compare "mathematicalness" as it were.
