Regards David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Thanks, I new about them. I was trying to make contact with all of authors, listed in quoted article. One answerd me once: Hi Andrew, indeed, your work seems to be very similar to ours! Especially your vectorization results are very neat, and your color interpolation seems to be faster than our diffusion process. From our experience, users of gradient meshes are looking forward to play with more intuitive tools for the creation of smooth vector gradients. Thanks for showing us your results, let us know about your next projects, Regards Adrien (Bousseau) It was the first and the last my contact with this group. No matter what efficient solutions I offer, the real use will be only if at last one vector file format will be expanded. Well, I'll inform this group when the next version of my converter is complete to testing. Currently I have some problems with preserving original colors during resizing. regards, A - To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click edit my membership Yahoo!
