+ Potracegui - a GUI interface for Potrace and Autotrace.
+
+
+Potracegui is an interface for the commandline tracing tools potrace
+and/or autotrace, two programs for tracing bitmapped images.
+
+
+It supports drag and drop as well as all image types recognized by TDE,
+which are more than the 4 recognized by the potrace commandline tool.
+Loading of remote files (web, ftp) is also supported.
+
+The heavy work is done by potrace or autotrace, the app is only a gui
+interface, It collects informations in an easy way and then it launches
+the backend with all the relevant options.
+
+Potrace and AutoTrace are great apps for tracing, they transform
+a bitmap image in a vector one (.eps or .svg format as an example)
+so that they can be scaled, rotated, and transformed in general without
+loss of quality.
