I believe the objection to using "vector" is because the object isn't going to contain only vector graphics. Eventually it will be a representation of many different image formats, a sort of catch-all that will replace all the existing bitmap and vector controls in the future.

Well,  the word vector is not to be found anywhere in the dictionary.

*vectorImage*  (we already have newImage and deleteImage messages, and
several properties begin with *image*

*imageVector*  (we already have imageSource imageData and imagePixmapID

*vectorRender*

somehow function and command names look far more important in a classic
boldface serif font.
