Everything about Geometric primitive

Basic shapes represented in vector graphics

In vector computer graphics, CAD systems, and geographic information systems, a geometric primitive is the simplest geometric shape that the system can handle. Sometimes the subroutines that draw the corresponding objects are called "geometric primitives" as well. The most "primitive" primitives are point and straight line segments, which were all that early vector graphics systems had. Wikipedia →
