[comp.lang.postscript] "tracing" bitmaps to produce PostScript

jwz@lucid.com (Jamie Zawinski) (03/16/91)

I've heard that some programs (Adobe Illustrator?) let you display a bitmap on
the screen and then lay down a spline over it, and to produce a PostScript
representation of draw that spline, letting you convert a bitmap to a smaller
and more manipulable format.

This is a great idea; except that I don't have any toy computers. :-)  Is there
a program that will let me do this under X11?
