What is TraceART?

TraceART

TraceART is more than just a tool for doodling and painting; it’s also super useful in construction for creating blueprints and designs. With this software, you get access to various tools that help you work with images accurately. There are different file formats to store data, so if you ever need to tweak regular pictures for technical reasons, TraceART might be the perfect fit for a quick conversion!

Getting Started with TraceART

When you open up TraceART, the layout is pretty straightforward. The top toolbar has all the editing and viewing options you’ll need, alongside a large canvas and a side panel for managing properties. Starting a project is as easy as dragging your image into the main window or using the built-in open dialog.

Editing Features

Once your file is loaded, there are several operations you can do. Keep in mind that since you're working with raster graphics, your main goal will be turning those images into vector formats. There's a dedicated menu where you can find various raster functions.

Raster Functions Available

You can do things like invert, rotate, mirror, flip, crop, and resample your images. Since this software focuses on scientific applications of images, it doesn’t offer many visual enhancements—though there are options to fill holes or adjust color settings.

Drawing Tools

You can use general drawing tools both before and after processing your image. These tools help create designs based on vectors like lines, polylines, solid triangles, arcs, and circles. Plus, there's a measuring tool included so you can check distances and angles accurately.

Tracing Your Image

When you're ready to trace an image, just hit the “trace” button (it looks like a play button). This brings up settings where you can choose how to detect outlines: outline detection, center line detection or fill patterns are available options. You can also set the scale or select a custom area.

Tweaking Detection Settings

Each detection type has its own set of parameters that you can change. This helps with line detection by allowing thorough searches for nearby lines and angles. A preview area lets you see how changes will look before applying them.

File Support Options

TraceART does well with both importing and exporting files. You can load popular raster formats like JPG, BMP, TIF, TGA, and PCX easily! For outputting files though? It supports specialized formats such as DXF, WMF, PLT, SVG, EPS, PDF—and even CGM!
