I gave a talk on this at svg open 2004 last week. The simplest way to do it, which produces the largest file size, is to take each pixel and generate a rectangle of size 1x1 and give it the correct colour. All you need to do this is a bitmap processing library.
Alternatively, you can use autotraced (but this is an external tool). http://www.roitsystems.com/cgi-bin/autotrace/tracer.pl Finally, you can contact me off line and we can discuss how Vectoreal can do this for you by implementing some of the image-processing. We have the tools and the algorithms to do the image processing and could build you an application to do this. http://www.vectoreal.com Cheers, Ronan > Hi, > > How can i convert a Bitmap/ Raster image into SVG > image > programmatically(without using any external tools). > > > S.Pavan Kumar > ------------------------ Yahoo!
