It sits in the same practical family as potrace and vectorization tools, turning raster images into formats such as SVG, EPS, PDF, DXF, and related vector outputs. ### Historique du projet The official README says AutoTrace was originally developed by Martin Weber and that some code was derived from GNU fontutils' `limn`, although most was rewritten. That origin explains both the traditional Unix graphics-tool feel and the split between command-line utility and embeddable library. The modern GitHub repository was created in 2013 and carries the project forward with build automation, cross-platform CI, translation infrastructure, and package-manager installation notes. The README also identifies `libautotrace` as a library interface, with the program under GPL and the library under LGPL. ### Historique d'adoption AutoTrace has survived mostly as a packaging and interoperability tool rather than as a glossy end-user application. The official README lists Homebrew, MacPorts, Fedora/RHEL, Arch, FreeBSD, and Windows release installers; the input additionally records Nix and zypper packages. Its adoption is helped by broad input and output format support, especially when built with ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick. That makes it a convenient package for scripts, conversion pipelines, and graphics experiments where a CLI vectorizer is easier to depend on than a desktop drawing program. ### Modes d'utilisation The basic CLI pattern is `autotrace input.png -output-file output.svg`, with options for centerline tracing and color reduction. The README points users to `autotrace --help` and the man page for the full option set. Developers can also call `libautotrace` through C headers and pkg-config, reading a bitmap and writing splines through output handlers. This dual CLI/library shape is why it appears in both user-facing package managers and build-time dependency lists. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent AutoTrace is package-nerd relevant because image vectorization has many optional format dependencies and old graphics-library edges. Maintainers have to care about ImageMagick versus GraphicsMagick support, GLib, gettext translations, platform build systems, and whether users expect both the `autotrace` binary and `libautotrace` development files. ### Chronologie - Pre-2013: Original AutoTrace development by Martin Weber, with lineage from GNU fontutils' `limn`. - 2013: GitHub repository created for the continuing autotrace project. - 2018-2020: CI-era tags in the GitHub repository show renewed automation activity. - 2020s: README documents package-manager installation and Windows installers from GitHub releases. ### Related projects - GNU fontutils limn: upstream notes code lineage. - frontline: upstream README lists it as an inactive GUI frontend. - ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick: optional format providers for additional input support. - potrace: a related bitmap tracing tool in the same packaging niche. ### Sources - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Autres enregistrements de gestionnaires de paquets - Nix - autotrace: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/au/autotrace/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - autotrace - 0.31.9-18.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: autotrace from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | Utility for converting bitmaps to vector graphics | http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/ - dnf - autotrace-devel - 0.31.9-18.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: autotrace-devel from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | Header files for autotrace | http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/ - zypper - autotrace - 0.31.10-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: autotrace from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Program for Converting Bitmaps to Vector Graphics | https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace - zypper - autotrace-devel - 0.31.10-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: autotrace-devel from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Library for converting bitmaps to vector graphics | https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace - zypper - autotrace-lang - 0.31.10-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: autotrace-lang from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Translations for package autotrace | https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace - zypper - libautotrace3 - 0.31.10-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: libautotrace3 from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Library for converting bitmaps to vector graphics | https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace - MacPorts - autotrace: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: graphics/autotrace/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
