Hey Lars, much thanks for your bash(?)+autotrace solution. To anyone who can't get the win32 version of color_trace_multi to work, it's not your fault (ImageMagick giving an error about unsupported decoder/codec or whatnot) because apparently I forgot to include some important files. A quickfix is t...

Bump for Windows executable release and slight bugfix (1.00a). See the above post for more information. Note: I think I'll eventually re-post this in the Inkscape Resources subforum (as suggested in brynn's post which I totally missed :| ), once I get a new version and Mac executable out. And also: ...

Version 1.00a is out! This program uses potrace to trace color images. This version runs faster, has more color quantization options (median-cut, adaptive spatial subdivision, and neuquant), supports dithering*, prescales the image for better quality, makes available several of potrace's options, a...

You won't offer a version compatible with Python 2.7? I can do that, just give me the next day or so. BTW this has nothing to do with Inkscape's extensions. And doesn't Inkscape use its own installation of Python? (or maybe that's just on Windows) Edit: I'm sorry, real life is getting in the way >_...

Bump. Here are some pictures traced with 256 colors. They took hours each, nearly overheated my laptop, and made svg files about 20 megs each. So don't trace 256 colors unless you're feeling adventurous, m'kay? http://i.imgur.com/LQFUr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sifQ3.jpg

Here it is, a Python script to trace a whole directory of color images at once. - You need to install Python 3.2 or later, and also the lxml library for that version of Python. - Unless you get the Windows version, you'll also need to download potrace , pngnq , and ImageMagick . - Then you need to a...

. Edit: I made a script to do this from the command line, see post #9 . I want to do command-line or scripted bitmap tracing, but Inkscape's tracer can't be automated. Potrace only does black-and-white images, so there must be a lot more going on under the hood with Inkscape. So if I were to instead...

My personal wish is the ability, either via command line or scripting, to use the "Trace Bitmap" feature without user input. To set the trace settings, I'd either like to enter them in the script/command line, or have Inkscape remember the last-used settings even after being closed and reo...

I know unticking "Smooth" (not "Smooth corners") can get rid of weirdness my traces. Have you given that a shot?

(Because this appears as the top Google hit, I am bumping this 5-year-old post. If this is still bad, please smite me.) An Inkscape extension exists for separating the traced paths to different layers: http://wiki.evilmadscience.com/Post_process_trace_bitmap The extension is part of Eggbot Extensio...
