# The graphics/potrace port

## potrace-1.16p0 – 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.
