POTRACE

Potrace is an algorithm to convert bitmap image to vector. This implementation is written in JS and uses node.js and HTML5 canvas.

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.

Steps

• Find all vertices in the image
• Find all paths from the vertices
• Determine which vertices in a path is straight
• Calculate the optimal polygon by assigning penalties for each possible one
• Smooth corners by calculating the bezier curves
• Create SVG elements (path) for each straight line path generated
