Integrating the tracer
SI had some delays due to unscheduled projects that were done in my home. I’m just starting to gain control of my time again, together with the schedule of contractors. That pushed my two weeks off. Now, the tracer can produce outlines. They are not amazing, but some times they enhance the traced image. An example is this hot dog sandwich:

This is one example that I think edges produced good results. The thickness of the edge will vary with its position and my objective was to make it appear as brush strokes, which are thin at the start, and tapers off at the end of the line. Other examples which I think that it did not produce good results is the Hillary Clinton image.

So it seems that with simple images, the outline will produce better results, while with complicated images it will not. I will start integrating the tracer with clker form today, and will default its operation to trace without producing outlines. We will also allow every user to change their default behavior for the tracer. Watch for another blog post withing the next couple of days.
