![]() The SVG version is also black lines on white background and visually is near perfect reproduction of the 170KB JPG source. Over the weekend made progress using your suggested 'Trace bitmap' using the defaults (Single scan) which successfully converted my simple streetplan to a SVG that was a big 1.2MB file containing 1 object of 10312 nodes. My facilities are limited to source streetplan on paper and a digital camera I used to get a digital copy.

(My brain seems to be much older than the rest of me, lol ) But if you search with "map" you should find it quickly.or.rats, I can't remember.I think it might have been a map of Tanzania, if the "map" search returns too many results. ![]() And there's another very recent one, but I can't remember the title. One recent topic is entitled "Carbon Paper". Usually folks who do this (again including me) prefer to reduce the opacity of the layer with the original, and so it's just like tracing the map on tracing paper (except the Inkscape pen takes some practice.however for me, much less than with Trace bitmap).Īnd as druban suggested, you can find more detailed tips by searching the forum. You would open Inkscape, import the map, add a new layer, and draw on the new layer, directly over the map. So if time is a factor, you might want to go with the other approachĪnd the other way is to trace it by hand. There is quite a learning curve, it seems, for most users, including me. ![]() One would be to use Path menu > Trace bitmap. In general, there are a couple of ways to approach it.
