Vector graphics are not graphics where individual pixels of graphics are defined as is the case with raster/bitmaps, rather they are calculated from instructions which draw lines and shapes, and fill them in.

There are vector graphics available on the Internet, however require proprietary plug-ins for their function. Enter Scaleable Vector Graphics, or SVG.
