V ector graphics are made of lines and c urves, an d they are generated from mathematical descriptions that determine th e position, length, and directio n in which lines are drawn. Bitmaps, also known as raster images, are composed of tiny squares ca lled pixels; eac h pixel is mapped to a location i n an imag e and ha s numerica l color v alues. V ector graphics are ideal for lo gos and illustrations because they are re solution- independent and c an be scaled to an y size, or printed and displaye d at any resolution, without losing detail and quality. In addition, you ca n produce sharp and crisp outlines with vector graphics. Bitmaps are excellent for photograph s and digital paintings because they reproduce color gradations well. Bitmaps are resolution-dependent — that is, they repre sent a fixed number of pixels. While they look good at their actual size, they can appear jagged or lose image quality when scaled, or when displayed or printed at a resolution higher than their original resolution. For information about working with bitmaps, s ee “W orking with bitmaps” on page 219. The top illustration is a vector graphic consisting of lines and fills. The bottom version is a bitmap made up of pixels.
Starting and opening drawings CorelDR A W lets you start a new drawin g from a blank page, from a template, or from an existing drawing. A blank page gives you the freedom to s pecify every aspect of a drawing. A template provides you with a st arting point and leaves the amount of customization up to you. Basing a new draw i ng on an existing drawing lets you reuse objects and page settings. However, you may not be able to open certain files, depending on their file type and contents. In such cases, you can try importing the files as objects in an open drawing. For information about the file fo rmats you can import in CorelDR A W, see “Supported file formats” in the Help. T o dis play text correctly in the drawi ng window, you need to use encoding settings. For more in formation, see “Encoding text” in the Help. Y ou can also preserve a drawing’s layers and pages. If you are usi ng W indows V ista, you can sea rch for drawings by different cri teria, such as filename, text within the file, and other properti es attached to the file. F or more information about searching fo r files on W indows V ista, see the W indows V ista Help. Y ou can also displa y previous ve rsions of a dr awing. T o start a drawing When you start a drawing from a blank page, the drawin g is based on the default CorelDRAW template. You can specify differe nt page layout settings. For more i nformation, see “Specifying the page layout” on page 161.Maintain layers and pages when you open files Enable the Maintain layers and pages check box. If you disa ble the check box, a ll layers are combined in a single layer. This option is not av ailable for all file formats. Choose a code page (W indows V ista) Choose a code page from the Sele ct code page li s t b o x. T h i s o p t io n i s not available for all file formats.
