Available Packages
Name : potrace
Version : 1.15
Release : 3.el8
Architecture : i686
Size : 125 k
Source : potrace-1.15-3.el8.src.rpm
Repository : ol8_appstream
Summary : Transform bitmaps into vector graphics
URL : http://potrace.sourceforge.net
License : GPLv2+
Description : 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.
:
: Mkbitmap is a program distributed with Potrace which can be used to pre-process
: the input for better tracing behavior on greyscale and color images.
