ABOUT







potrace [Peter Selinger]

Peter Selinger's free bitmap to PostScript tracing program. Potrace (TM) 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.

See also potrace-pixelperfect by Guilherme Maeda for pixel perfect tracing in FontForge.
