Vector Tracing Vector Tracing MCQ 4

Question 1

Which SVG path command draws a cubic Bézier curve using two control points?

Accepted Answer

C

Answer

The C command draws a cubic Bézier using two explicit control points (C x1 y1 x2 y2 x y).

Question 2

When a traced vector shape must be used as a clipping mask, what structural requirement must the clipping path meet?

Accepted Answer

It must be a compound path with no fill

Answer

A clipping path must be a single compound path (or simple path) placed on top of the artwork; fill/stroke of the mask path itself is irrelevant during clipping.

Question 3

For a traced typeface outline used in a logo, what is 'optical correction' typically applied to curved letterforms?

Accepted Answer

Making round shapes slightly taller or wider than straight-sided shapes so they appear the same size visually

Answer

Optical correction overshoots round glyphs past the baseline and cap-height guides so they visually appear equal in height to flat-topped letters.

Question 4

A vector tracing of a photograph contains over 10,000 paths. Which export format most efficiently packages this for web use while remaining scalable?

Accepted Answer

SVG with path simplification applied

Answer

SVG preserves scalability and, after simplification, produces a compact text-based file suitable for web delivery.

Question 5

When using the 'Ignore White' option in Illustrator's Image Trace, what happens to white areas in the source image?

Accepted Answer

They are excluded from the trace, leaving them transparent

Answer

Ignore White prevents white regions from generating filled vector shapes, leaving those areas transparent/empty in the traced result.
