Noptec Vector Update

[Nick Sonneveld]

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I noticed the version on chris's site (and mine) is slightly out of date..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?

[Nick Sonneveld]

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.

Thanks for telling me Nick, I will put it up.

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.

Thanks
