Convert png to svg in R?

Question

I just want to know that how can we convert a .png to .svg using only base R or CRAN functions?

Answer 1

I think for conversion, you can see the image_convert function from the magick package. Check the package description and the 'Converting formats' section from the package vignette.

library(magick)

my_image <- image_read("image.png")

my_svg <- image_convert(my_image, format="svg")

image_write(my_svg, "image.svg")

dir()

[1] "image.png"   "image.svg"
