You mean "graphs".
- programmer_dude 11y agoThis was my initial reaction too! I wonder how is this different from graphs.
- constexpr 11y agoGraphs have a set of vertices and a set of edges, but vector networks also have a set of faces.
- wlesieutre 11y agoMeshes then?
- constexpr 11y agoMeshes are closer but vector networks also attach specific attributes to edges which is not usually the case with meshes. Examples: control handles (for curves), stroke weight, dash pattern.
- wlesieutre 11y agoNot uncommon in mesh editors either. Off the top of my head, blender stores edge splits, crease strength, and line styles for the freestyle renderer.
- kedean 11y agoSeems like a superset of graphs. On a graph, you only care about what's connected to what. This takes the empty space between into account, as well (fills). I would say it's a separate concept that happens to build on graph theory.
- taco_emoji 11y agoAlso isn't it really a segment network? I always think of vectors as having direction and unless I misunderstand, it sounds like this is directionless.
