Angle Limit: Vectorize: Trace

Angle Limit: Vectorize: Trace

  • The Angle Limit determines the amount of Path Smoothing performed. 

  • The allowable value range is between 0 and 1.33 (4/3), with smaller values resulting in less smoothing and more corners.

  • The default value is 1, which is the optimal value. 

  • Generally, Angle Limit works best on images with higher resolutions. Angles are favored both by sharp angles and by long segments. 

  • Thus it will detect a corner if two short segments meet at a very sharp angle, and also if two very long segments meet at a slight angle.

Edit the Angle Limit When Vectorizing Images

Too many Angles:

  • If Too Many Angles are detected, the output will look like a Polygon and will no longer be smooth. 

Too Few Angles:

  • If Too Few Angles are detected, the output will look too smooth and be too Rounded.

Using the Angle Limit Setting

Using the Angle Limit Setting

  • Load an image. 

Load an Image
  • Leave the Angle Limit at the default value.

  • Click the Vectorize button. 

 

Raster to Vector
Adjust the Angle Limit as Needed
  • We get the expected results for the Vectorization.

The Image is Vectorized
  • Just for comparison, increase the Angle Limit to a higher number.

  • Click the Vectorize button again. 

Edit the Angle Limit as Necessary
  • This time, it rounds out several of the corners.
