- Sephr 7y agoOne reason is to generate screenshots of HTML by combining this technique with SVG <foreignObject>.
- avmich 7y agoTrue, but if you have digital display - that is, which have separate, immovable pixels, working with pixels and not with vector-based analog primitives - you'll eventually have to convert "vector" picture into "pixel" picture.
- rayshan 7y agoI wish for that world to exist, but rasterized images are much easier to share and render nicely in iMessages etc.
- chrisseaton 7y agoDo you have a vector display of some kind? No? So someone somewhere is going to need to rasterise your vectors if you want to see them on a screen, aren't they?
