In addition to widely spread bitmap types of images like JPEG or TIFF used to represent illustrations in World Wide Web pages this invention provides a simple way of creating vector, or outline type of images using existing features of Java-enabled browsers without introducing new image formats. The idea is to create a tool for the Web page developer that will take a vector graphical image and convert it into a set of Java drawing commands finally forming a Java applet. The client's browser then will display the applet in the Web page, as it would be a regular graphical image. The benefits of this method are higher image compression rate and scalability.
