Curve Fitting - Raster/Vector (Research and Development)

Posting this here mainly so that I can find it later.

This has roughly to do with a few thoughts I have related to 'drawing with splines' (as opposed to click/extend) and maintaining curvature (as much as possible) as control points are removed from or added to a spline and of translating/converting raster/bitmap lines into vector lines/splines.

The guy who adapted this code (Campbell Barton) is well known in Blender/Linux circles.

Original code is from Screen Gems, updated with insights from OpenToonz and further enhanced by Barton.

 

The library is described thusly:

High level utility library that takes a line and fits a bezier curve to it, in any number of dimensions - usable for freehand drawing and tracing raster images.

 

A (related) command line utility for tracing raster images and converting them to SVG can be found here:
