Roadmap status

[Radenixlol]

Hi! I'm just dropping by because I'm curious about the current roadmap for this project. I haven't seen anything explicitly about it, so I wanted to know.

I discovered this project a week ago, and it's simply incredible. At least in the Python ecosystem, I haven't seen anything else like it, and it generates higher-quality SVGs than the built-in integrations of some libraries I've been using. Excellent project!

I also wanted to ask an additional question: Is there any way to tell the tool to generate the SVG using the viewbox instead of fixed height and width?

Thank you for your thread. There is not much new development in VTracer. there are some improvements we can make:

1. upgrade the curve tracer, and add a new backend (like one from paper.js)
2. multipass tracing, we can render the svg and compare it against the original png and do some adjustments to reduce the error

something that require new algorithm research & development: would be "pencil tracing" or "thin line tracing", if you know what I mean

@tyt2y3 By adding to a new backend, do you mean the bindings? And yes, I understand quite basically what you mean. Before starting this thread, I was reading others in the section and I was able to see what it was about.

So there are no future plans to implement SVG 2? I ask out of curiosity, because I don't know if it's outside the scope of the project or more of a task that would be left open for contributions.

And where can donations be made for the project?
