- This program converts bitmap fonts to a homegrown outline format, bezier
- (BZR). The program `bzrto' converts that format to something usable for
- typesetting.
- We used two main sources in writing the program:
- @mastersthesis{Schneider:PIC-88,
- author = "Philip J. Schneider",
- title = "Phoenix: An Interactive Curve Design System Based on the
- Automatic Fitting of Hand-Sketched Curves",
- school = inst-u-wash,
- year = 1988,
- }
- @article{Plass:CG-17-229,
- author = "Michael Plass and Maureen Stone",
- title = "Curve-fitting with Piecewise Parametric Cubics",
- journal = j-comp-graphics,
- year = 1983,
- volume = 17,
- number = 3,
- month = jul,
- pages = "229-239",
- }
- We had access to the code for Phoenix, thanks to Philip, but none of our
- code is based on his (mostly because his task was allow interactive
- sketching, and ours to fit bitmap characters, and the two require
- different data structures). The general outline of the fitting
- algorithm does come from Phoenix.
- We also found this article helpful:
- @Inproceedings{Gonczarowski:RIDT91-1,
- author = "Jakob Gonczarowski",
- title = "A Fast Approach to Auto-tracing (with Parametric
- Cubics)",
- pages = "1--15",
- crossref = "Morris:RIDT91",
- acknowledgement = ack-kb,
- }
- @String{proc-RIDT91 = "Raster Imaging and Digital Typography II"}
- @Proceedings{Morris:RIDT91,
- title = proc-RIDT91,
- booktitle = proc-RIDT91,
- year = "1991",
- editor = "Robert A. Morris and Jacques Andr{\'e}",
- publisher = pub-CUP,
- address = pub-CUP:adr,
- acknowledgement = ack-kb,
- }
