Having problems with message search?
Thanks Tom and Masatake, this makes a lot of sense. Just 3 thoughts before I try this;
1) I have assumed I should specify the file I want to convert (r.bmp) after the commands etc outlined in Masatake's response, but without parenthesis.
2) Can I use .txt as the output file extension, as DOS only allows 3 letters here? My plotter is happy reading text as hpgl.
3) All the images I work with are just black and white, so FFFFFF will always be my background colour. If this is the default background colour, I assume I don't need to specify it?
OK, just tried this, got another error message, so I'm not there yet:-
I typed
autotrace --background-color=FFFFFF --input-format=BMP --output-file=r.txt --output-format=hpgl r.bmp
And this appeared
Problem during opening C:\totnp233.dll:
Problem during opening of pstoedit driver plugin: C:\totnp233.dll. This is no problem as long the driver in this library is not needed. Possibly you need to install further libraries and/or extend the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (*nix) or PATH (Windows) environment variables.
And the output file I specified is present but empty... have tried this twice, now.
I suspect that the error opening the above mentioned dll file has caused this? Or have I syntaxed myself into a corner again? Do I need a pstoedit driver plugin for what I'm trying?
I must be close to getting this to work now!
Thanks again, RB
