-Potrace is a utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a
-bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. The input is a bitmap (PBM, PGM,
-PPM, or BMP format), and the default output is an encapsulated PostScript
-file (EPS). A typical use is to create EPS files from scanned data, such as
-company or university logos, handwritten notes, etc. The resulting image
-is not "jaggy" like a bitmap, but smooth. It can then be rendered at any
-resolution.

Mkbitmap is a program distributed with Potrace which can be used to pre-
