Graphic vs. Procreate vs. Velocity.js vs. jQuery Comparison Chart

Unlike bitmap drawing applications, which focus on editing the individual pixels of an image, vector designs are created using objects and paths. Vector paths, consisting of points, lines, and curves, can be painted and filled. Multiple paths can be used together to create detailed intricate objects, while multiple objects can then be arranged to create a larger design. A vector image remains crisp when enlarged, without any loss of quality. A bitmap version of the same image loses quality when enlarged. When launching Graphic for the first time, you will be presented with the Documents Browser displaying a few sample documents. Tap any document to open it. When objects are selected, the fill and stroke color wells update to the colors used by those objects. Changing the fill or stroke colors while objects are selected will change the objects’ colors. Besides colors, gradients and patterns, objects can be filled with images. Even text objects can be filled with images.

Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's animate. It works with and without jQuery. It's incredibly fast, and it features color animation, transforms, loops, easings, SVG support, and scrolling. It is the best of jQuery and CSS transitions combined. Download Velocity, include it on your page and replace all instances of jQuery's animate with velocity. You will immediately see a performance boost across all browsers and devices, especially on mobile. Velocity works everywhere, back to IE8 and Android 2.3. Under the hood, it mimics jQuery's queue, and thus interoperates seamlessly with jQuery's animate, fade, and delay. Since Velocity's syntax is identical to animate, your code doesn't need to change. JavaScript and jQuery are falsely conflated. JavaScript animation, which Velocity uses, is fast; it's jQuery that's slow. Although Velocity works alongside jQuery, it uses its own animation stack that delivers its performance.
