rtedge produces raster image.  There we can use raster to vector
converter to have vector  image.

It reminds me Geo-graphical Information System (GIS) where it is
routine to use raster and vector maps. Normally 2D, again with only
lines, or polygons. They achieve desired accuracy by defining region
(area) with resolution.

This is interesting. Do you mean "section cutting"?
