Vextractor is a vectorizer program for transforming raster images into vector formats by building centerlines and outlines. This tool could be used for the vectorizing of charts, drawings, maps and schemes for input to CAD or GIS systems. You can also vectorize logotypes and other line art images for use in Vector Graphic Design software.
Features:
The program supports a multitude of raster graphic file formats, including BMP, GIF, TIFF/GEOTIFF, JPEG, PNG, PCX, TGA, WBMP, PPM, PBM, PGM.
Vextractor supports the following outgoing vector formats: AutoCAD DXF and DXB, Windows Metafiles WMF and EMF, ArcView Shapefiles (SHP), MapInfo MIF/MID, ASCII XYZ simple text format,Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG),Encapsulated PostScript (EPS),Adobe Illustrator (AI)
For design drawings the program applies recognition of various graphic elements of the image: circles, arcs, orthogonal lines, etc. Here, the program offers an opportunity to create a uniform grid, which can be put on the elements of your processed object.
Vextractor contains a built-in advanced vector graphic editor, which easily allows you to add some corrections to your built vectors.
Vextractor can be used for cartographic information recognition. The program supports such popular GIS formats as ESRI ArcView Shape and MapInfo MID/MIF. In order to uphold the highest standards in cartographic information processing, the program offers a coordinate binding system with an option, which allows users to save data binding coefficients to the format of GeoTIFF and world-files of ESRI ArcInfo system.
Vextractor contains features, which are first of all intended for CAD and GIS systems: an opportunity to set your own coordinate system for vector images and an opportunity to specify a desirable size of a chosen image (width and height). Also you can assign Z-values (elevation) for polylines.
Apart from that, the program is ready to help you with artistic and design work. Vextractor builds geometrics of raster images, which consist of Bezier splines. The program supports a series of vector formats, which can be imported into all popular packages 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 for TWAIN32-compatible devices, an original three-window interface and more.
Vextractor runs under all versions of 32bit Windows: Win98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003.
