potrace
------------------------------------------

Utility to transform bitmaps into vector graphics

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.
