kandi X-RAY | potrace Summary
potrace is a tool for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. the input is a bitmap (pbm, pgm, ppm, or bmp), and the output is one of several vector file formats. a typical use is to create svg or pdf 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: svg, pdf, eps, postscript, dxf, geojson, pgm (for easy antialiasing of pixel-based images), gimppath, and xfig. additional backends might be added in the future. a separate program, mkbitmap, is also provided. this program can act as a pre-processor for potrace, applying scaling and various filters to an image before converting it to a bitmap. this is useful for potracing greyscale and color images. potrace relies on the zlib library for postscript level 3 compression. this library is pre-installed on most modern systems. if not present, it can be obtained from for generic compilation instructions, see the file install. in addition, the following compile time options (options to ./configure) are supported. --with-libpotrace install potrace library and headers (default: no) --disable-zlib disable postscript level 3 compression --enable-metric use metric units (centimeters) as default --enable-a4 use a4 as the default papersize --enable-dumb-tty use simplified ascii-only progress bar --enable-local-getopt avoid using the system-wide getopt

QUESTION
I have multiple png files and I'm trying to get the polygon contour coordinates. That is the simplified coordinates, only each outer corner (not a convex hull polygon).
The program that will do this at the moment is python and opencv. But another program is oke I did try to fix this using npm packages, imagemagick, potrace, Lua. It will be uses as a shell command in a 'build polygons from images' process.
This was the last test under python.
The problem now is the that some edges are 'not' correct in the example below.
I did the following steps
- Convert the alpha to black and white
- Trace the contour
- Get the coordinates
- The original png file contains black lines (keep them).
- Converted black and white image (you can't see the top line, because this website have a white background)
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Oct-05 at 00:57The points, lines, and curves in a vector graph may be scaled up or down to any resolution with no aliasing. As such you will not see the broken corners. Suppose the output is a vector graph in SVG format. The corners can be visualized nicely by converting each contour to an SVG polygon. You may refer to here for three choices to render the corners. I also add a function add_pixel_fillers
to adjust close enough points.

I have a custom library I'm trying to build with Browserify. The library uses fabric.js
, extends it with some custom classes and exposes it globally to be used in the browser and in node.js. This is the main entry point for the library:
ANSWER
Answered 2019-Aug-02 at 23:18After some more searching, I finally found the reason, when using browserify you can't add libraries that were bundled with browserify, see this issue.
This feature is coming in browserify 17 so, for now, I switched to webpack to build my library.
QUESTION
I'm currently trying to convert BMP files to SVG files using Python. I'm trying to find a Python library that will enable me to convert BMP/PNG/JPEG files to SVG files.
I've already tried using Potrace but the quality is awful. I need the end results to be fairly high-quality. I can't use online converters and must be able to do these conversions on my machine as I'm working with sensitive data.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Edit: I found out that I wasn't using the correct settings for Potrace in my testing. This is what yielded the "awful" result. Unfortunately, I've also learned that Potrace doesn't support color outputs. I've messed around with Inkscape and Vector Magic and I think they're my best bet at the moment.
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-May-31 at 14:43BMP files are raster graphics which is basically a fixed array of red/green/blue pixels.
SVG files are vector graphics which is a collection of lines such as "draw line from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2)"
It is possible to convert BMP to SVG, but expecting a high-quality result is not realistic, especially if you are working with photo-realistic images.
You will need to "vectorize" the image as shown in this link. Potrace does this for you, so it is your best bet.
QUESTION
I'm developer, but need to do a quick design with SVG image. And came across an issue. My svg image file is as following:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jan-15 at 09:06What I've done: I've recalculated the viewBox
of your svg element, then I calculated the center of your svg. I've added a blue circle with the center in the center of the svg element.
To get the size of your svg I deleted first the transform and used the getBBox()
method. I've used the properties of the bounding box for the new viewBox
value
QUESTION
I'm not particularly clear on the ins and outs of rendering svg in html. I have loaded an svg file via svg-inline-loader
, and the data appears to be present, but nothing is rendering. I imagine I'm missing something rather basic here, but I can't see what, and I haven't been able to find any resources on what may cause this.

QUESTION
I would like to install Potrace on my Windows 10 Computer and I will be using it with python 2.7.5. I am following the installation instruction from this site.( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypotrace) for Windows.
What I did so farI installed MinGW – following these YouTube instructions [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHekr3EtDOA]
I also download Agg-2.5 and potrace-1.15.win64 and put these 2 folders inside C:/src (see Picture 1)
IssueHowever, I am stuck at this specific point of the installation instructions. It says:
I extracted both packages in my
C:\src
folder. Both are easy to build by executing./configure; make
and./autogen.sh;
make respectively, on MSYS prompt.
I have no idea how what that means or how to do it. I did find MSYS prompt but I have no idea what to write in the prompt to complete this step (see Picture 2).
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Oct-16 at 18:04You are trying to build a 'C' extension in Windows. The Python docs have a basic introduction to what this means.
In practice, you need to install a 'C' build environment, then compile and link the code. You have chosen the MinGW environment, but there are others available. Given that you have instructions for MinGW, let's stick with that, so at this point you just need to run the compiler...
For 'C' applications, there is usually a complete toolchain to keep track of what files depend on others, what external dependencies you might need and the precise build settings you need to use. In this case, the libraries are using autotools. In order to invoke them, you need to run the commands that they show in the install instructions. So, for example:
QUESTION
I want to use Potrace for a C++ project on Windows in Visual Studio, but I have no clue of how to include Potrace into my project. I have tried to compile the C files using Cygwin, and that way create an .a file and then link to it in visual studio, but that didn’t work. Visual Studio were able to recognize the the functions from Potrace, but when running a test program with Potrace(Calling potrace_version() ), Visual Studio got the error “LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _potrace_version referenced in function_main”
I have gotten it to work on Ubuntu by using the technique mentioned above, and then compiling my code with: g++ main.cpp backenddxf.cpp ImageManipulation.cpp ./libubuntu/libpotrace.a -o test.out 'pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv
Do I have to compile the source code(Called “source distribution” on the website) to a lib file, and then link it to my project, in that case, how do I do so? Or is there something I have missed. I am using Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10.
I am not to proficient in the workings of C++ so a detailed explanation is greatly appreciated.

QUESTION
I have converted image to svg and get the path vector like below
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Jul-25 at 09:57The thing is that your SVG
doesn't have any "inner". Your SVG
is actually what you call a border. You can't set a color for what's inside because it's not a part of your SVG
.
There's specified a "hole" in your image. That's the path in your code starting with m1007
and ending with -251z
- due to specification: "The M indicates a moveto, ... and the z indicates a closepath)".. If you remove that part you'll have the whole shape w/o the gap inside.
