Hi everyone,
Does anyone know a program or a plugin transforming a bitmap image or photo into a set of horizontal CONTINUOUS vector lines like attached example ?
Thanks all

Corel Draw/Corel trace.
Although the lines didn't vary in thickness like your example.
I stopped upgrading at ver 7.
I don't know about anything beyond that.

Xara Xtreme will do it,
Draw 1 horizontal line at the top of your picture, clone it and place the clone at the bottom of the picture.
Select both lines with the blend tool, and increase the number of steps in the blend.
My example has 100 steps. Top line dark magenta bottom line dark cyan
so that all the scan lines are visible on the coloured photo.
This is a flexible method, as you can specify the stroke, colour and thickness.
The Alien Skin Xenofex 2 plugin (television) does it too.
(Demo version in Xara Xtreme).

Thanks for tip but the difficulty is actually to HAVE this thickness variation enabling the CONTINUOUS line vectors from left to right ... I had a program to do this in 1998 under PPC ... but can't use it anymore and developper stopped releasing in 1999 !
Thanks also to you Dell Boy but the idea is to works from a bitmap picture and to end up with a single tone continuous line art image that can be vectorized.
Just a couple of clicks in Xara Xtreme will change the blend characteristics.
Using in this instance, the propeller brush to alter the blend lines in the
way you wanted. Lots of brushes to choose from.

Got it.
I'll give it some thought.

ok a tad washed out - but this sort of thing?

Here's a .jpg of a vector drawing I made using Xara Xtreme.
I'll post how it was done if anyone's interested.
