Tracer
Vector Graphics: Image Tracing, Morphing Animator
Quick Start
What is Tracer? Follow this quick A, B, C:
A. Double Click on the "Intro" file.
B. Expand the Splash..Movie file and view using the Apple Quicktime Movie Player.
C. Now try this worked example: "Triangle to Square"
1. Draw a triangle with the Pen tool (Draw Menu/Pen Item)using double click or the SPACE bar to lift the pen between contours).
2. Move to frame 2 (using palette tool or Frame Menu/Next Frame)
3. Draw a square with the pen tool (or any other shape you like)
System Requirements
TRACER requires a colour Macintosh. It will run on both 68nnn and PowerPC systems. It has been tested on MacOS 7.5.5, System 8.0 and System 8.1 and should run on earlier systems. It requires at least 1.5Mb of RAM but allocating more space will allow more complex filled shape morphs. If limitations within the software are stopping you, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
