[comp.graphics] raster-to-vector algorithm pointers?

brian@ucsd.Edu (Brian Kantor) (11/20/89)

I'm looking for pointers to algorithms for efficient raster to vector
conversion.  I can do it brute force, but something more computationally
-efficient would be nice.

The particular application is to drive a plotter from a Sun rasterfile.

Mail to me and I'll summarize.
