trace-to-svg
Convert a bitmap into a vector SVG using mkbitmap + potrace.
Quick start
bash
# 1) Produce a silhouette-friendly SVG bash scripts/trace_to_svg.sh input.png --out out.svg # 2) Higher contrast + less noise bash scripts/trace_to_svg.sh input.png --out out.svg --threshold 0.6 --turdsize 20 # 3) Feed into create-dxf (example) # - set create-dxf drawing.etch_svg_paths[].d to the SVG path `d` you want, or # - store the traced SVG and reference it in your pipeline.
Notes
- •This is best for logos, silhouettes, high-contrast shapes.
- •For photos or complex shading, results depend heavily on thresholding.
- •Output is usually one or more
<path>elements.
