Didn't know about autotrace. I was supposing it would just trace the bitmap into a compound path, sort of what like potrace does, but the animation suggests it traces into a single path - which is absolutely great, as afterwards you can adjust the stroke width, linecaps and more thingies. Amazing!

Yeah potrace can do the same thing - trace a path of a bitmap. (Imagemagick can too). In my tests (with lots of line drawings) I felt autotrace generally had better results. Wish I kept the side-by-side comparisons to show...
