# vtracer (Python)
Python bindings for the [`vtracer`](https://github.com/visioncortex/vtracer)
raster-to-vector framework. Built with [pyo3](https://pyo3.rs) +
[maturin](https://www.maturin.rs); the core Rust crate stays pure (no I/O), and
this crate adds image decoding and a Pythonic API.

## Introduction
visioncortex VTracer is an open source software to convert raster images (like jpg & png) into vector graphics (svg). It can vectorize graphics and photographs and trace the curves to output compact vector files.
Comparing to Potrace, VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored images. VTracer skips Potrace's expensive optimal-polygon search in favor of a fast, linear pipeline that stays faithful to high-resolution images.
Comparing to Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace, VTracer's output is much more compact as we adopt a stacking strategy and avoid producing shapes with holes.
VTracer is originally designed for processing high resolution scans of historic blueprints up to gigapixels. At the same time, VTracer can also handle low resolution pixel art, simulating `image-rendering: pixelated` for retro game artworks.
