Setting other Outline Trace options
To fine-tune traced results |
1 . | Select a bitmap. |
2 . | Do one of the following: |
• | Click Bitmaps Centerline trace, and click a command. |
• | Click Bitmaps Outline trace, and click a command. |
3 . | On the Settings page, move any of the following sliders: |
• | Detail — lets you control the amount of original detail that is preserved in the traced result. Higher values maintain more detail and result in a greater number of objects and colors; lower values discard some detail and result in fewer objects. |
• | Smoothing — lets you smooth curved lines and control the number of nodes in the traced result. Higher values result in fewer nodes and produce curves that do not closely follow the lines in the source bitmap. Lower values result in more nodes and produce more accurate trace results. |
• | Corner smoothness — This slider works in conjunction with the Smoothing slider and lets you control the appearance of corners. Lower values maintain the appearance of corners; higher values smooth corners. |
