Vectorizing bitmap images interactively
You can interact in the vectorizing process when you are going to vectorize bitmap
images. At this moment it is not possible to do this with color images.
The calculated paths will automatically resemble the background picture. In the
Tool bar, you can set the values for determining lines, beziers, when to create a
corner and when to consider a color range to be of one path as you would do with
color images (described at the previous page).
The interaction lies in the fine tuning of the preview path that is calculated and
applied after clicking Apply.
If you select the Vectorize tool
and the image is a bitmap image (black and
white), a cyan preview path will appear which you can alter as follows:
• Hold down the Shift key and click the path to add or delete points where the
path will be calculated through.
• Press the ALT key (Windows) or Option key (MacOS) to add points where the
path will be calculated fluently through.
In the palette you can choose to view the preview path as lines or as curves.
Examples
Below you see two examples of cyan previews.
The numbers define the values set in the Tool bar
for the following settings:
• Line or bezier
• Line tolerance
