Convert an image to XAML?

Question

Does anyone know of any way to convert a simple gif to xaml? E.G. A tool that would look at an image and create elipses, rectangles and paths based upon a gif / jpg / bitmap?

Answer 1

Inkscape can trace bitmaps, and can save directly to XAML. And, it happens to be free. I've used it to trace a lot of bitmaps and it's worked really well for me.

Answer 2

Illustrator has a trace tool which will do this

a cheaper option might be

http://vectormagic.com

it will export a svg that you should be able to convert to xaml

Answer 3

A combination of Vector Magic followed by ViewerSVG produces the best quality results for me.
