- potrace 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. It can then be
- rendered at any resolution.
- potrace can currently produce the following output formats: EPS,
- PostScript, PDF, SVG (scalable vector graphics), Xfig, Gimppath, and PGM
- (for easy antialiasing). Additional backends might be added in the
- future.
