SVGcode VS d3

Raster Image to SVG Converter

here are some options -- potrace is free, or https://svgco.de/... there's also this extension that puts them in an a1111 extension. Illustrator also has a function for it, if you have access

Thanks to SVGCode (https://github.com/tomayac/SVGcode) which did already my idea to compile POTRACE into WebASM/JS so to get rid of exectuables and faster inbrowser-vectorizing (the guy in the input example image is Richard Feynman)

Oh op use this for png to svg conversion if you do not have better Ai or pro design tools. https://svgco.de

This issue was about experimenting with SVGCode to see if it could be used to convert raster images to SVGs. I blogged about this process in my last post. I created a pull request which demoed the results of my research by including several SVGs that I created using SVGCode, Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. Overall, I think that Inkscape produced the most consistent results for coloured and black and white images compared to other tools I tried, which I mentioned in my PR.

In a previous post, I mentioned working on an issue for converting raster images to SVGs. This week, I did some research on the tool recommended in the issue, SVGCode, as well as other popular tools and in this post I will be discussing some of what I learned after trying them out. For the tools that I tried, I wanted to find something that is free and easy to use, while still creating high quality SVGs, as there are a lot of images to convert. (Disclaimer: I'm pretty new to working with images and image editing software so I'm probably not using all the right terminology here, but I'm trying to learn!)

Thanks for the kind words! The documentation is still missing (tracked in part as https://github.com/tomayac/SVGcode/issues/19), but Potrace, the library SVGcode is based upon, has detailed information in a PDF on all parameters: http://potrace.sourceforge.net/potracelib.pdf.

Yes this was done with a combination of GSAP Scrolltrigger https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/ and https://d3js.org/

d3 - very power visualization library enabling dynamic visualizations. docs

Yep, Evidence is doing good work. We were most directly inspired by VitePress; we spent months rewriting both D3’s docs (https://d3js.org) and Observable Plot’s docs (https://observablehq.com/plot) in VitePress, and absolutely loved the experience. But we wanted a tool focused on data apps, dashboards, reports — observability and business intelligence use cases rather than documentation. Compared to Evidence, I’d say we’re trying to target data app developers more than data analysts; we offer a lot of power and expressiveness, and emphasize custom visualizations and interaction (leaning on Observable Plot or D3), as well as polyglot programming with data loaders written in any language (Python, R, not just SQL).

D3.js: A robust library to visualize your data and create interactive data-driven visualizations.

They are images so it could be any number of things, datawrapper, charts.js, d3.js to name a few options.

I made this interactive visualization that attempts to show the real-time frequency and location of births around the world. A country’s annual births (i.e. the country’s population times its birthrate) were distributed across all of the populated locations in each country, weighted by the population distribution (i.e. more populated areas got a greater fraction of the births). Data Sources and Tools Population and birthrate data for 2023 was obtained from Wikipedia (Population and birth rates). Population distribution across the globe was obtained from Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (sedac) at Columbia University. Data is processed and visualized at a 1 degree x 1 degree resolution, each of which has a different probability of a birth occurring in a specific time period. D3.js was used to create the map elements and html, css and javascript were used to create the user interface.

When I go to the homepage of types/d3 the only hint for any kind of documentation is what seems to be the main github page of d3. It's highly possible I'm missing something here, so sorry if I am but I can't find any documentation of how you are supposed to type these library objects.
