svgRenderType : Trace

[willyk26]

Hi, I'm having trouble getting any result using the trace render type programmatically, I noticed that its not listed in the cli.
is this feature supported outside of the live demo?
my config is as follows

{
"input": ".\test\in\amanocollp3.jpg",
"output": "C:/Users/Willard/svgurt/middle/amanocollp3.jpgoutline2",
"Edge Detection": "true",
"lowThreshold": "128",
"highThreshold": "128",
"Edge Detection": "true",
"lowThreshold": "128",
"highThreshold": "128",
"svgRenderType": "TRACE",
"noiseSize": "45",
"fill": "false",
"stroke": "true",
"directionRandomness": "0.04828301190198645",
"applyFractalDisplacement": "true",
"displacementAmount": "6",
"fractalRandomSeed": "28221",
"strokeWidth": ".085"
}

Hi @willyk26 I think that part is only in the demo currently and not available programatically.
Under the hood the trace render type is using Potrace: http://potrace.sourceforge.net/
github mirror: https://github.com/skyrpex/potrace
Using that directly is a workaround until this library supports it (not sure when I'll get around to it xD)
Thanks for checking out svgurt! I'll ping back when there's an update on this.

@Anemy Thanks for confirming! i had done some poking around and saw that the trace.js is in the Github repository but doesnt show up when installing npm and had been fiddling around to try and make it work.
Im sure potrace will help me out, thanks!
do you know off the top of ur head if potrace or mkbitmap have an edge detection feature like svgurt?
