Title: Noptec Vector Update
Post by: Nick Sonneveld on August 22, 2002, 08:05:00 PM

Hi,

I noticed the version on chris's site (and mine) is slightly out of date..  so I thought it might be interesting to point this out.. v1.4 of Vector is available.. its source has been released and one or two bugs have been fixed.

what is vector?

bitmap: each individual pixel has a value.  These pictures can get pretty big since you need to define each pixel

vector: picture is defined by lines, fills and other bits 'n pieces and the picture is rendered.  this is what agi uses

the difference is like html and a screenshot of a webbrowser rendering html.

noptec vector takes a bitmap file (gif, jpeg. whatever) and tries to turn it into a vector format for you.

I just tried it out. Seems like a far better version than the other one. This could just be the thing lots of newbies (like myself ;)) need.

:D Thanks  :D
