The bulk update request #6765 is pending approval.

create alias vector (787) -> vector_(artwork) (0)
create alias vector_art (62) -> vector_(artwork) (0)
create implication vector_(artwork) (0) -> digital_media_(artwork) (1157168)
change category vector_(artwork) (0) -> meta

Reason: It's a type of digital artwork.

There's also svg

SVG is a file format, and can be used for non-vector artwork (at least, artwork that doesn't look like and no one would call vector art; I doubt many people would call post #4575444 vector art, despite being sourced by an SVG converted to PNG).

I was suggesting svg be included as an alias to vector_(artwork), which would be a meta tag. TWYS doesn't apply.

This is a special case since vector rendering is incredibly common in digital art workflows, and e6 doesn't support vector image formats. Most fonts (thus most images with text) are vector elements rasterized into the image, as are most geometric shapes, and many logos have an SVG/vector source. Any image can be converted to a vector image format, that looks identical when rendered back out at the same resolution (for certain types of artwork, converting to vector can be a good way to more cleanly resize it). Since e6 doesn't support vector image formats (existing SWF posts not withstanding, they don't display and aren't accepted for upload anymore), every image here will technically be a raster image, with many having vector elements rendered onto it. The only real way to distinguish a vector image is if it "looks like" a primarily vector image, since the file itself won't be.
