Run AutoTrace with at least the following options: autotrace -centerline -color-count 2 -output-file output.svg -output-format SVG input.png There is a free Open Source tool AutoTrace which is able to perform a centerline trace of a line-art bitmap. which tool can do this? (any OS - could use Windows, OS X, Linux.).how to get vectorised lines from any tracing program.The reason behind: need work with the traced lines and nodes, e.g. Looking for a way, how to trace lines into real lines (PATHS), best with the matching line-width. Small part of the original PNG image - zoomed:Īs you can see, the "line" is traced from its both side like any other area-like shape.

converts the lines into closed path areas. Need convert it into (any) vector format, but as LINES. I have an B&W png image, contains a drawing like an maze, e.g. What is the best way to convert a series of boxes (right angles) from raster to vector?.Convert a line drawing from raster to vector.If that doesn't produce satisfactory results, then you could: duplicate, set path thickness to double your desired thickness on the duplicate, convert stroke to path on duplicate, set no stroke and some fill on original, and then intersect the two (No adjusting the stroke width after this though). Try fixing this first with a dynamic offset to bring it in a hair. The resulting path may be slightly bloated since the path will lie along the outer edge of the thickness of the original path.Use "Path" > "Simplfy", or edit manually with node tool and delete nodes as needed. Style the resulting path with a stroke and no fill.Use Inkscape to trace the filled in version you just produced, and then delete the bitmap.Clean up any rough edges or gaps in your fill. Use a paint bucket tool to fill in the areas so you have solid black shapes, instead of outlines.Open the bitmap with a raster graphics editor like GIMP.
