Vectrace

Pronounced "Vect-Race", Vectrace is a Pure Python Polygon Production Program. Basically the hooks for polygon tracing programs in python are really kinda annoying. And I didn't want to port code that isn't licensed in a maximally useful way, so I wrote my own.

This is especially useful because vpype does not need a bunch of preprocessing. The main goal of Vectrace is to create perfect vectors from images. The optimizations and modifications can be done elsewhere in the pipeline. Or not at all, I don't really mind/care.

Installing

pipx-based vpype install:

$ pipx inject vpype vpype-vectrace

Global or venv-based vpype install:

$ pip install vpype-vectrace

Supported Formats.

Vectrace supports all image formats that are supported by Pillow.
