It seems like pixel art would be an ideal case for automatic vectorization - literally just a series of adjacent colored squares, one per pixel, and the resulting vector could be scaled at will with no loss of fidelity. It seems so easy to automate that I might do it later just for kicks, and it also seems so obvious that I can't possibly believe I'm the first to have thought of it. Is it just not a common practice, or are there difficulties I'm not seeing, or is there maybe something else here I'm missing? edit: Ah, OK, found some prior art: https://www.drububu.com/tutorial/bitmap-to-vector.html https://www.drububu.com/tutorial/bitmap-to-vector.html
