Transforming Raster into Vector

1. Get a nice resolution image to work with
2. Open the image in Inkscape
3. Path -> Trace Bitmap
4. Play with settings here -- this really depends
5. e.g. Brightness Cutoff .45 or 2 or 3 by color
6. Click Start
7. Ungroup (Ctrl-Shift-G) on the result
8. Delete the white background and other imperfect traces
   *. Ctrl-Shift-K to break apart the image if you want to fine tune it, sometimes black spot will show up, that's ok. (Ctrl-K to recombine)
   *. I also use the Object "Difference" command to clip out unnecessary parts.
