My guess is that it depends on your needs. poTrace is excellent for vectorizing black&white drawings, but can't keep color information. AutoTrace is fine, and quite good for handling color. VectorEye has good reputation, but is shareware, which may or may not be a problem for you. You can try all three and see how well they fit to your problem. > The raster map is scanned and saved in JPEG format.

If you plan to redraw by hand from this map, you don't need to convert it to SVG first. > The software I using now is WebDraw.

Well, I got only a low resolution map, so I suppose it is only to show how it looks, since you cannot get anything to SVG from this. -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- For servers mangling my From and Reply-To fields, -- please send private answers to PhiLho(a)GMX.net -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
