bflatastic 761cc2371a Image Trace: Ignore Color, and the Auto Color and Outline presets
Against the documented panel (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/traces-mockups-symbols/image-trace-panel-options.html):

- Ignore Color: "Ignores a specific color while tracing. Use the color picker to selectively ignore a color."
  The panel's Ignore White is now Ignore Color with a colour button beside it (white until another colour is
  picked); `imageTrace.make` takes `ignoreColor: "#rrggbb"` beside `ignoreWhite`, and leaves out the palette
  colours within about 30 levels of it. Documents saved before have no such setting and ignore white as they
  did. Flat Logo mode leaves out white only.
- Auto Color ("Creates a posterized image from a photo or artwork"): Color mode with the Automatic palette.
- Outline ("Simplifies the image to black outlines"): Black and White with Create: Strokes and no fills.
- The Outline preset's name is translated as a preset's name, not as the Outline view's.

Measured (docs/image-trace-quality.md): Auto Color on flat art is 0.140 px off on average with 4.0 paths (16
Colors: 0.141, 4.2). Outline on the line inputs, the first measure of Create: Strokes: 0.310 px off on average,
1.84 at worst, 81 anchors for 5 lines (Line Art's filled outlines: 0.055, 0.96, 46).

bflatastic a17e3057de Image Trace quality harness: an aliased variant, and every drawing can be written out 2026-10-13 01:45:57 +07:00
bflatastic 182a2cda4b Image Trace: a quality harness and the baseline numbers for every preset
crates/trace/tests/quality draws its inputs from known vector art (no image files), traces them with every
built-in preset and measures fidelity, distance from the true outlines, economy, artefacts, time and memory.
docs/image-trace-quality.md records the numbers on main before any change, beside the same measures of an
open tracer run as a black box. No change to the tracer.
