Hello!

I'm looking for a tool that can convert a simple bitmap (of small size) to a vector graphic (eg svg) by simply creating a filled square for each pixel (no fancy path tracing). Can this be done with Inkscape or another tool? I'd need this to visualize some selected pixels (in "high zoom") with a thin path and how some filter changes these.

Thanks for any help or hint on this.

Look at tiled clones, using rectangles 1px by 1 px, no stroke using trace: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... Trace.html

Thanks Rob! That's exactly what I've been looking for. I just always searched for this in the bitmap tracing and didn't think of looking for that in the tile clonig.
I've a problem though: I can get any of the example properties to be traced except the color. I tried loads: with filling or without, with transparent filling and all the same applied to the stroke as well. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help or hint on this.

Set Trace: Colour
Apply: Colour

And the original shape must have its fill "Unset" for colour tracing to work.
