vectorvision 0.1.1

CLI tool for vectorizing raster graphics, written on the basis of the potrace algorithm.

Vectorvision

Overview

Vectorvision is a tool for vectorizing raster graphics, written on the basis of the potrace (https://potrace.sourceforge.net/) program. A detailed description of the algorithm can be found in the publication about potrace (https://potrace.sourceforge.net/potrace.pdf). For now, available color formats are binary and grayscale, RGB images are firstly converted to grayscale and vectorized. You can convert images of any common format including: png, jpg, jpeg. The output format is SVG.

Features

The program allows you to transfer images from raster formats, e.g. PNG, to the SVG vector format. The program is available from the command line. Features:

• Support for utility formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP.
• Output format: SVG.
• Optimization of the SVG output file for functionality.
• Starting the program from the command line.
