- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+61Yay, now I have all the single-dimensional matrices that I need.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+58I was wondering what an "Index free" vector was though.
- ike368, on 10/11/2007, -32/+86dugg down as a jerk!
- GmorG, on 10/11/2007, -3/+52Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
Captain Oveur: What?
Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
Tower voice: Over.
Captain Oveur: Roger.
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: Roger, over!
Roger Murdock: What?
Captain Oveur: Huh?
Victor Basta: Who?
First thing I thought about... - mentor, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35Here, I found these in my vector space, R^3:
(0,1,0), (1, 1, 0), (0, 3, 3). - nathan12343, on 10/11/2007, -2/+30Oh yeah? Well I've got free tensors for anyone who wants one!
- hypercubed, on 10/11/2007, -3/+27Um, no! Vectors are directions independent of position. What you described is a line segment.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+26Brusheezy is amazing, I think vecteezy will be equally awesome! I am a professional designer and brusheezy has been of immeasurable help. As a designer good resources are tough to come by. iStockPhoto has really changed the way I work, and now brusheezy and vecteezy.
- andy206uk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23Like it... bit lacking on quantity at the moment, but I'm sure that will grow over time!
- hypercubed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21I think many people use the Digg feature as a bookmark.
- kennon, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26Where do you find these? Some nice stuff.
- Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23
Mmmm... vectors. Crunchy, yummy, vectors.
wait... um, what's a vector again? - noamsml, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20Wow, do you realize you've just found a vector in 3D? This is amazing!
- PA32R, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16covariant or contravariant?
- MattCruikshank, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14You're right - Digg should have a Bookmark system, separate from the Digg. It'd allow you to go back and view a site after the hoopla is over.
- SultanTravi, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16@carleethian
I thought the same exact thing. Apparently, according to Wikipedia, they are graphics based on vectors rather than pixels so that when you scale the size they retain quality.
Sounds cool to me--lots of advantages. I really like the look.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics#Motivation - KineticShampoo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Can someone tell me what a vector is, and what it's used for?
- Tippis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15@ solonGFX
"I was wondering what an "Index free" vector was though."
Must be v, since v1 and v2 both have indices. - harlowsmonkeys, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Here's an interesting vector: [9, 249, 17, 2, 157, 116, 227, 91, 216, 65, 86, 197, 99, 86, 136, 192].
- Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16Don't worry, the site already got Dugg anyway.
- Malcx, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16go away 'tard
- Daniel591992, on 10/11/2007, -10/+21wow, talk about spam....
- rwallen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics
- eigenweasel, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12Here's another: [5 3 6 2 7 0 2]
- stalefries, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10People actually want to do that?
- ShrimpCrackers, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9These are indeed nice but has anyone realized that ALL of these same exact vectors were available on DeviantArt.com for more than a year?
On DeviantArt the authors get credit and the free licenses are spelled out.
Here they are stolen. - lothar250, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8It's amazing, how many people click a link on digg, see it's down, but digg it anyway
- H3LLSL337, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I just had a nergasm.
- mconroy7000, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Just a heads up to everyone, I've seen most of these collections on deviantART. They were not created by the site authors. If you were looking to use them for commercial purposes, know that they aren't quite "free" -- I would check to make sure they are creative commons before doing anything like that.
- drewxhawaii, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I compiled them all into a .zip: http://www.mininova.org/get/713102
- markdr123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Index-free eh?
Doesn't sound too useful. - thesixthdesign, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Why do you capitalize "huge"? There's only two pages.
- qsqueeq, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6This is pathetic. They didn't create any of these, and you can't download some because they hotlink from bittbox. Boo!
- Dunge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Unclear title again
- mutatron, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So does this mean raster graphics are now "rasters"?
Huge Index Free Rasters! - PotterChick958, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So at the risk of being dug down, can someone please tell me how to actually open them up in Illustrator? Because I feel stupid here. Very stupid.
- mutatron, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Buried as inaccurate, those are vector graphics, not vectors. Though in retrospect I should have buried as spam.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3These are going to make me some awesome wallpapers, theres not enough stuff for 1920x1200 around.
- nathan12343, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7If you're going to be precise, vectors are a direction AND a magnitude. By giving two random points in three dimensional space, you have effectively defined a vector.
- petdance, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Once upon a time (1/t) pretty little Polly Nomial was strolling across a field of vectors when she came to the boundary of a singularly large matrix. Now Polly was convergent, and her mother had made it an absolute condition that she must never enter such an array without her brackets on. Polly, however, who had changed her variables that morning and was feeling particularly badly behaved, ignored this condition on the basis that it was insufficient and made her way in amongst the complex elements. Rows and columns closed in on her from all sides. Tangents approached her surface. She became tensor and tensor. Quite suddendly two branches of a hyperbola touched her at a single point. She oscillated violently, lost all sense of directrix, and went completely divergent. As she tripped over a square root that was protruding from the erf and plunged headlong down a steep gradient. When she rounded off once more, she found herself inverted, apparently alone, in a non-Euclidean space.
She was being watched, however. That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was lurking inner product. As his eyes devoured her curvilinear coordinates, a singular expression crossed his face. He wondered, "Was she still convergent?" He decided to integrate properly at once.
Hearing a common fraction behind her, Polly rotated and saw Curly Pi approaching with his power series extrapolated. She could see at once by his degenerate conic and dissipative that he was bent on no good.
"Arcsinh," she gasped.
"Ho, ho," he said, "What a symmetric little asymptote you have I can see you angles have lots of secs."
"Oh sir," she protested, "keep away from me I haven't got my brackets on."
"Calm yourself, my dear," said our suave operator, "your fears are purely imaginary."
"i, i," she thought, "perhaps he's not normal but homologous."
"What order are you?" the brute demanded.
"Seventeen," replied Polly.
Curly leered "I suppose you've never been operated on."
"Of course not," Polly replied quite properly, "I'm absolutely convergent."
"Come, come," said Curly, "let's off to a decimal place I know and I'll take you to the limit."
"Never," gasped Polly.
"Abscissa," he swore, using the vilest oath he knew. His patience was gone. Coshing her over the coefficient with a log until she was powerless, Curly removed her discontinuities. He stared at her significant places, and began smoothing out her points of inflection. Poor Polly. The algorithmic method was now her only hope. She felt his digits tending to her asymptotic limit. Her convergence would soon be gone forever. There was no mercy, for Curly was a heavyside operator. Curly's radius squared itself; Polly's loci quivered. He integrated by parts. He integrated by partial fractions. After he cofactored, he performed runge - kutta on her. The complex beast even went all the way around and did a contour integration. What an indignity - to be multiply connected on her first integration. Curly went on operating until he completely satisfied her hypothesis, then he exponentiated and became completely orthogonal.
When Polly got home that night, her mother noticed that she was no longer piecewise continuous, but had been truncated in several places But it was to late to differentiate now. As the months went by, Polly's denominator increased monotonically. Finally she went to L'Hopital and generated a small but pathological function which left surds all over the place and odrove Polly to deviation.
The moral of our sad story is this: "If you want to keep your expressions convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom." - ImprovingLemon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3theres not that many...
- petdance, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Lest anyone not grok the silliness of referring to "vector graphics" as "vectors", I refer you to this extensive disambiguation page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector - AgentAnderson, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6Does it contain the zero vector?
- flyzipper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Try ... http://www.inkscape.org/
- kennon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2erm how are they stolen if they are all licensed under creative commons and linked back to the creators?
- dignews, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Or even better Digg should add a button which could be in the list with bury story etc, and it could say The Digg Effect and then the story could be burried on the home page showing the site is down like comments are burried but indicating the site is down.
- Skatejedi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2How are they stolen if they are all licensed under creative commons and linked back to the creators?
- adrianbj, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4A set of 1500 free vector illustrations available in one download
http://ian.umces.edu/symbols/ - kennon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I think all of the vector files have what license they are released under on the page.
