ASPAN: vectorializer

The Vectorializer Module converts any image into a drawing that
can be used by the Aspan program. The image to be vectorialized
must be in the Windows bitmap format (.BMP). The image can
contain any type of subject. It could be artwork, a logo or a
geometric design, for example. The original image can be in color
(up to 256 colors) or black and white. The images are only available
in printed format? No problem, just use any scanner to convert
them into a .BMP file.
The vectorializer takes the original image and traces the outline
of the drawing and the central line of the section. It converts
and groups together the image pixels as straight lines and arcs
on the drawing and then links the entities found to each other.
Where necessary it reduces the entities. The quality of the resulting
drawing depends on the quality, condition and complexity of the
original image. In some cases it may be necessary to modify the
drawing further to obtain the quality required. The vectorialized
drawing is for all intents and purposes a standard Aspan drawing
that can be modified, scaled and rotated as required. You can assign
tools to it and convert it to a machine program just as you would
with a normal drawing.

VECTORIALIZER in an optional module of ASPAN and so not included in the basic version of the program.
