# graphics/potrace - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Utility for transforming bitmaps into vector graphics

    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), and the default output is one of several vector
    file formats.  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, SVG (scalable vector graphics), PGM (for easy
    antialiasing of pixel-based images), and XFig. An experimental
    Gimppath backend is also provided. 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.

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
