The main program is ppedit, and there's a more +detailed README in that directory. + +To build ppedit, do: + +cd ppedit +make + +It requires Gtk2 and cairo. + +The curves/ subdirectory contains python utilities for manipulating +curves, including a Bezier optimizer. + +The font/ subdirectory contains tools for segmenting scans and +compositing them into classes, suitable for tracing over. (Note, +however, that the gtk2 build of ppedit doesn't yet load background +images for tracing). + +Always see http://levien.com/spiro/ for more updates. |
