Discrepancy between CLI and webapp argument limits

[andreasscherman]

Hi!

First off, thank you for creating VTracer, it's a truly fantastic and useful tool!

I've been using VTracer webapp for a while, and that one has a filter_speckle slider of 0-128. I tried running the CLI, and I get:

$ vtracer -i masks/1.png -o vtraced/1.svg --filter_speckle 17
Out of Range Error: Filter speckle is invalid at [Value > 16]. It must be within [0,16].

Is there a specific reason why this stricter 0-16 limit is enforced at the CLI argument parsing stage, even though the GUI allows a higher input value (which I understand is then squared internally to get an area threshold)? Maybe I am misunderstanding something.

Would it be possible to consider increasing or removing this explicit if value > 16 check in cmdapp/src/main.rs? This would align the CLI more closely with the GUI/WebApp.

Thanks again for your work on VTracer!

It's sad that for historic reason cli and web gui are not the same. I don't remember why a limit of 16 is in place.
Definitely open to PR or change suggestions.

have you tried adjusting this locally?
