Python Potrace

Pure Python Port of Potrace. This is a python port of Peter Selinger's Potrace (based on 1.16 code).

Note: This image has been scaled up by a factor of 3.

This port is needed because many python hooks to the original code such as pypotrace have installation issues and compilation problems with some OSes. This potrace is written in pure python and will be compatible with basically anything.

Installing

To install or use as a requirement:

• pip install potracer

Potrace-CLI

If you wish to use the Command Line Interface that is stored in a sister project potrace-cli (https://github.com/tatarize/potrace-cli). This can be installed with:

• pip install potracer[cli]

or:

• pip install potrace-cli

The cli project contains valid console script entrypoints for potrace. If you install the command-line package it will add potracer to your console scripts. Note the -r suffix so that it does not interfere with potrace that may be otherwise installed.

Requirements

• numpy: for bitmap structures.
