Hi,

Further to my previous E-mail (which could have been more specific...), I have tried a few of my own interpretations of the instructions in the help file, all of which have failed to produce anything other than 'bad command or filename' as a response. An example:-

autotrace [background-color=FFFFFF--input-format=BMP--output-file=C:\--output-format=hpgl] <r.bmp>

This was my most promising guess...r.bmp is a simple 1 mb windows bitmap of black 1px horizontal lines on a white background, which will need no further editing prior to, during or after conversion to hpgl. It is located in the root dir of the C drive, as are all the autotrace files.

I previously used 'Raster to vector 7.0' which could scale a jpeg version of r.bmp up by 15 times and convert to hpgl. Does autotrace have a scaling function? I can't see anything listed in the help file.

THanks again, RB

Can anyone demonstrate the correct syntax for what I'm trying to do?
