Potrace is a utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a bitmap
|
||
|
|
into a smooth, scalable image. The input is a bitmap (PBM, PGM, PPM, or BMP
|
||
|
|
format), and the default output is an encapsulated PostScript file (EPS). A
|
||
|
|
typical use is to create EPS files from scanned data, such as company or
|
||
|
|
university logos, handwritten notes, etc. The resulting image is not "jaggy"
|
||
|
|
like a bitmap, but smooth. It can then be rendered at any resolution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Potrace can currently produce the following output formats: EPS, PostScript,
|
||
|
|
PDF, SVG (scalable vector graphics), Xfig, Gimppath, and PGM (for easy
|
||
|
|
antialiasing).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mkbitmap is a program distributed with Potrace which can be used to pre-process
|
||
|
|
the input for better tracing behavior on greyscale and color images.
