Beginners' Questions Bitmap Tracing to Vector (Lineart) with whitespaces as Polygons

    I come from the Corel and Adobe world where scanning in CorelTrace or Adobe Streamliner would produce a clean Vector Line Trace where all the white spaces come out as Polygons. In Inkscape, although I get a nice Line Trace, I cant seem to figure out how to get the white spaces to come out as Polygons. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    An illustration might help clarify this question. Images can be attached or linked.

    Thanks for the reply. I hope this attachment helps clear up what I am trying to do.
    I really like Inkscape (and GIMP) and trying to get away from Adobe and Corel.

    And here is the SVG File if that helps.

    You need to trace for at least 2 colors and adjust the color for the fill (not the outline shape):
