Can someone suggest a reference for converting raster line
drawings to some type of vector format. Specifically,
drawings scanned into a page scanner create a TIFF/PCX files.
I need to convert these "lines" into a series of vectors
for additional processing. In most cases, the lines are
clean and consistent.


Also, can someone suggest a reference on auto-tracing
(as in Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator). This may be an
alternative approach.

thanks
