Articque Informatique is proud to announce VeGtor 2.5, a bitmap vectoriser (raster to vector converter).

* Goals of VeGtor
 
 VeGtor vectorizes maps, fonts, hand-made drafts, blue-prints, charts...
 VeGtor has been designed by map-makers to avoid hand made digitizing
 of map coordinates. But VeGtor is also a good software for anybody
 involved in vector-based graphics.

* Principle
 
 A bitmap is composed of pixels. When you enlarge a bitmap, you enlarge
 the pixels and get an ugly picture. A line is composed of pixels, and
 if you enlarge the line you will enlarge its pixels too.

 Vector based drawings don't keep pixels informations but coordinates.
 A line is composed of its starting and ending coordinates. Thus, when
 you enlarge the line, you change the coordinates and a line will be
 drawn from the new coordinates.

* Requirements

 VeGtor 2.5 requires Windows 3.0 and higher (including NT, OS/2 or 
 Windows for workgroups 3.x). 
 Minimum hardware requirements are :
 . 386 SX
 . Four megabytes of memory (eight Mo strongly recommended)
 . 4 Mo of hard disk space (VeGtor 2.5 is 1 Mo uncompressed)

* Features

 . Exports general vector formats : DXF (Autocad), EPS (PostScript)...
 . Exports GIS and Geographic Software formats :
   MIF (Map-Info), (NUM Cartes & Donne'es)...

 . Can export your format! Contact us for more details.

 . Imports bitmap formats (BMP, PCX and PBM).
 . Recognizes closed entities (polygons, lines and points),
 . Automatic labelizing of entities (closed entities, lines, points)
 . User definable labels for each entities.
 . User definable scale and coordinates.

 . Online help.
 . Smart assistant for complex operations.
 . Bitmap editor.

* Misc

 Articque Informatique is looking for overseas distributors 
 and partnership with Vector-Based software vendors. 
 Any information concerning this should be sent to G.A. Strausch at
