Please see the general README file and the +man page for general information on usage, how to compile Potrace, +etc. + + +INSTALLATION for Windows: +========================= + +Download the file potrace-XXX.win32.zip (or potrace-XXX.win64.zip if +you want the 64-bit version). Unpack it with your favorite unzipping +tool, such as unzip, 7-Zip, WinZip, or just right-clicking on the +file. + +If you have "tar" and "gunzip" installed, you may also get the tar.gz +file instead of the zip file. + +The distribution includes the executable programs potrace.exe and +mkbitmap.exe. You need to move these files to a place where Windows +looks for programs, for example C:\WINDOWS. Alternatively, you can +amend your PATH environment variable, by adding something like the +following line to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT: + + PATH=%PATH%;C:\DIRECTORY\WHERE\FILES\ARE + + +RUNNING: +======== + +For non-Windows specific usage information, see the file README. + +Potrace on Windows runs in much the same way as under Linux and other +Unix-like operating systems. You must run Potrace from the command +line (also known as the MSDOS Prompt). File names can be given in Unix +style or Windows style, thus the following will both work: + + potrace h:/data/file.txt + potrace h:\data\file.txt + +Wildcards can also be used, as in: + + potrace h:\data\*.* + potrace h:/data/*.* |
