The only vector graphics format that is directly supported on iOS is PDF (not counting UIWebView, which also supports SVG).

Vector graphics are not typically used in games, because they're much slower to render, but that depends on what type of game you're developing. I would consider using multiple versions of bitmap images with different resolutions for zooming.

  • i know that png is not vector based format other i have used for other image formats. – nehal Jul 09 '11 at 11:55
  • yes that is the option that i can make it to different resolutions but what are the image formats that are used in the popular games like angry birds ? – nehal Jul 09 '11 at 12:51
  • Either PNG or PVR (compressed OpenGL texture format) I'd guess. – omz Jul 09 '11 at 12:53

I saw this on github a while back. It claims to render SVGs to Core Image layers. I've never used it, but I know it exists.

  • i have already tested it.It claims to render SVGs but does not work with all type of svg files.Have a look at other question asked by me for same thing.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6624070/how-to-render-all-kind-of-svg-files-in-iphone – nehal Jul 09 '11 at 12:22
