color_trace_multi.exe output to other formats?

Postby futuremoose » Fri Sep 07, 2012 2:24 pm

I downloaded color_trace_multi.exe and got it to work (after reading this post:
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=44911#p44911
and also installing ImageMagick).

I am able to trace and save to a svg file with a command like:

Code: Select all

color_trace_multi.exe -i a.png --output a.svg -c 4


Works pretty well... a few anomalies which I'll save for another thread.

Question... With interactive Inkscape, you can save the a bitmap_traced image to many different file formats other than SVG. In particular, I want to output to PDF. I checked out the command line arguments for color_trace_multi.exe and don't see any way to specify the output file type. Is there a way to control that?
