That image should work, but you may have to enlarge it in Gimp first, and give it more white space (increase canvas size).
The final stack that handles color is pretty awesome. Here's that final post in the thread: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- BNig Feb 22, 2014; 8:43am Re: Tracing Stack (was: the points of graphic) In reply to this post by BNig Hi, Color Tracing, Color Tracking. here is a version of an image tracing stack that traces color images. It makes a graphic for each color. And it makes a combined graphic from the color-subgraphics. You have quite some options which graphics to include. note that this stack has a button with a question mark in it with some instruction how to use it. The main stack has three substacks. Makes for some clutter but accomodates larger images. Please choose a posterization level after loading an image. Only if the image turns completely black on posterization reload the image and "Color Trace" it without posterization. Due to the tricky nature of images/colors you may not get satisfactory results with all images. Especially subtle gradients are hard to get at a reasonable resolution. There is also a substack to use Livecode's Paint Tools to paint simple forms and convert them into graphics. Please choose a posterization level before "color tracing". You can download the stack here: http://berndniggemann.on-rev.com/ColorTrace/ColorTracing.livecode.zip Comments welcome. What to do with the graphics is anybodys guess. But it was fun to do. I would be interested in real world use cases.
