-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-11299 2011-08-23 04:04:26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : potrace Product : Fedora 14 Version : 1.10 Release : 1.fc14 URL : http://potrace.sourceforge.net Summary : Transform bitmaps into vector graphics 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

A DXF backend was added. The output is in the drawing interchange format used by computer aided design software. Thanks to Jonas Benedett Dorr for testing. The Gimppath backend was changed to be compatible with current versions of Gimp. The EPS, PDF, and SVG backends now use high-resolution bounding boxes. The default scaling of the EPS, PDF, and SVG backends is now fixed at 72dpi. A new option --flat was added to the SVG backend. A new option --tight was added to remove whitespace around the input image before calculating its scaling and placement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
