The aim of the AutoTrace project is the development of a freely available application similar to CorelTrace or Adobe Streamline. I hope that it will be better than all commercial - http://sourceforge.net/projects/autotrace/ Welcome to AutoTrace - a program for converting bitmap to vector graphics.

Copyright 2001 RO IT Systems GmbH RO IT Systems GmbHwww.roitsystem s.com Autotrace Is an open-source raster-to-vector drawing format transformer Handles numerous raster (bitmap) input formats such as png,pnm,gif,bmp,jpg (and around 30 more) Generates several vector output formats including svg,pdf,eps,and dxf Builds images by tracing lines and constructing splined polygon regions Is highly configurable May be an effective way to get raster data onto 3G SVG-compliant mobile platforms Is not yet optimised for file size.
