VextraSoft, a recognized specialist in vector graphic design software, announcestoday the release of a new version of Vextractor. If you have some paper drawings,drafts or scanned images and you want to use them in vector graphic editors, thenyou will need to convert them into the vector graphics format. There are severalways for turning raster images into vector graphics: firstly, to draw them manuallyin a chosen vector graphic editor; secondly, you may put images into your computerwith the help of a special device, which is called digitizer; finally, you canresort to the assistance of automatic vectorization programs. The last way will saveyour time and set you free from exhausting work.
Vextractor is always ready to help. The program uses several methods fortransforming raster images into vector formats. Vextractor not only vectorizescharts, drawings, maps and schemes, but it also transforms any logotypes and otherline art images into vector formats. This converter works in two basic modes:building centerlines and building outlines of the processed objects. The wholeprocess of the transformation can be controlled by a variety of flexible settings.The program applies a certain configuration for each image type; moreover, users cancreate their own system of settings, which they think will be suitable for this orthat image format.

Theprogram supports a series of vector formats, which can be imported into all popularpackages of vector graphics: Encapsulated Post Script (EPS), Scalable Vector Graphic(SVG), Windows Metafile (WMF/EMF); The program contains a variety of additional features, such as a support forTWAIN32-compatible devices, an original three-window interface and more.
