About Potrace ↑

Potrace is a tool for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. 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.

About Potracer ↑

Potracer wraps the Potrace library in an easy to use Ruby binding. Input can be in the form of a multi-dimensional array of 1s and 0s or string image data. Suitable string data can be gotten from Rmagick’s export_pixels_to_str or be crafted by hand.

Usage ↑

See the examples directory for sample usage.
