This extension is an InkScape wrapper for https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjs. It utilized a standalone node.js executable to run the JavaScript code. It will be fed with embedded or linked images within InkScape.
The big difference between this tracer and all other tracers in recent InkScape is the fact that it is capable of splitting an image into it's "isles". The regular tracers separate by colors but not by objects. That makes it hard to work with sometimes. Imagetracer.js will vectorize your beautiful image into a more beautiful SVG trace with separated infills (break apart into single surfaces like a puzzle), that means you get a lot of single areas.
works for Linux and Windows
Would some kind Mac developer translate this for Mac? I desperately need this, and periodically I find it, forget I've found it before, think "Gee, I should try this even though they don't say Mac," and it doesn't work.
Yes, I've tried Adobe's online converter, but that makes *thousands* of items. It would take me less time to trace it by hand, not that I can do that quickly.
Thank you!
Hi K. I think only node.exe file can be changed with the mac version from node.js web site. Give it a try. https://nodejs.org/en/download/
