================================================================================
Added an experimental tool (bitmap2component) to create logos from .bmp bitmaps. Added Potrace library to convert bitmaps to polygons
This tool uses potarce library that converts a bitmap picture (.bmp or .pgm format) to a set of polygons.
bitmap2component converts a bitmap to a .emp footprint (that can be imported by modedit) or a .lib component that can be
imported by libedit.
Note: imported bitmaps logos are vectored by potrace, so there is no pixelation effect.
Scale is 1:1 for 300ppi pictures.
bitmap2component currently runs only is command line mode
run
bitmap2component bitmapfile.bmp bitmapfile.lib 1 to create a schematic component logo
(import this file using libedit)
or
bitmap2component bitmapfile.bmp bitmapfile.emp 1 to create a footprint logo
(import this file using modedit)
