Needs an example

  • scalar program: for (i=0;i<10;i++) c[i]=a[i]+b[i]

and the equivalent vector version and how the vector version would run faster.

deleted unrelated part

I deleted the following paragraph, because it is unrelated to the theme. Maybe it should fit a "vectorization (computer graphics)" or something :

Raster-to-vector conversion is an important operation for computer graphics software. Raster images are the natural output of scanners and digital photography, they are the mainstay of TV and digital printing, and they can be created (with varying levels of skill) by users of bitmap-handling software such as Adobe PhotoShop or Corel PhotoPaint. However, raster images do not scale well, and for many purposes vector graphics are to be preferred. Raster-to-vector conversion software needs to: decode raster file formats, detect colour boundaries in images, simplify boundaries into smaller numbers of vectors (typically lines, arcs and Bezier curves), and write out vector files in suitable formats. Well-known raster-to-vector converters include Corel Trace, Adobe Streamline, and most sign-making programs.
