PLACER - vector/bitmap converter and composer
(c)
1997-2004, Barkhatov Andrej Eduardovich, abarkhatov@yahoo.com
Fast, small program to convert and compose vector/bitmap
graphic files in the following formats:
Bitmaps
Vector(or mixed)
- AutoCAD DXF
- Windows Enhanced EMF/WMF
- ArcView SHP
- Gerber
- HTML (output only)
- Adobe PDF (output only)
The program can be used for
- viewing common graphic formats
- mixed graphic composition
- image processing/vectorization
- database testing
File formats supported
- Input DXF is ASCII mode 2D, used for vector data
exchange (layers, True Type fonts, LW poly-lines are processed)
- Input BMP is uncompressed, palette and rgb
- Input TIFF is uncompressed, multi-page, palette and
rgb
- Input G3-Fax is CCITT - 1D compressed, black/white
- Input GIF is standard, Output - is RLE compressed,
interlaced
- Input JPEG is standard, progressive
- Input EMF/WMF can contain bitmaps, Output - is the
system standard
- Input SHP is ESRI shape file associated with DBF
attributes
- Input GBR Gerber PCB is a subset of RS274X standart
- Output HTML is Microsoft VML Web standard
- Output PDF is ZLib compressed, version 1.2
- ODBC database stored as a table of variable length (image)
Enhanced Metafile records. Tested with free Microsoft SQL Server
2000.
To make overlaid composition several bitmaps and vector files can be opened
onto a page with optional position/scale parameters.
Position and scale factors can be adjusted using the
keyboard or through point and pull of a border.
With ten buttons on the right side some image processing
could be done. The functions are:
- "Histogram" - 2d/1d image histogram
- "Pyramid" - Pyramid filtering
- "FloodFill" - Flood filling (from image center)
- "3->1" - 3 to 1 channel convertion
- "CannyEdge" - Canny edge detection, vectorization
- "Approximate" - Curve approximation, simplification
- "Snake" - Active contours energy-minimization
- "ErodeDilate" - Erode or Dilate
- "Smooth" - Gaussian blur
- "Threshold" - Fixed-level thresholding
Each button has the parameter field for processing
strength choosing.
The program contains:
- Ed Casas EFax
- Eddie Kohler GifSicle
- FastIO System ClibPDF
- Frank Warmerdam ShapeFile
