Creation of AmiFIG suite,

When I've started to work on AmiFIG I didn't expect that it will be so extensive, after having launched AmiFIG natively on AROS for the first time, I've made some improvements and bug corrections (mazze helped me with bug corrections also).

I've been reworking :

• Embedding of bitmap objects,

• Export as Bitmap,

• Text display

I've also compiled fig2dev for AROS and included a GUI for it.

Exporting from AmiFIG is now possible to all formats that fig2dev supports.

I've also introduced a GUI for potrace, a bitmap 2 vector conversion tool that was available on AROS Archive.

Potrace is delivered with mkbitmap, a bitmap picture manipulation tool to be used to preprocess that image, in order to be more usable on AROS, I'bve added support for reading picture using datatypes for mkbitmap.

As native picture format for potrace is PNM and as I wanted to display preview picture, I've reworked our old PPM datatype to display all PNM formats.

This PNM datatype is now available in Nightly builds (thanks to deadwood for putting it in the repository) and also on AROS Archive.

Finally, I was not fully happy with potrace as it didn't process color picture. I've therefore compiled autotrace for AROS. Autotrace is may-be less accurate than potrace for black and white picture but can convert color bitmaps to vector formats.

I've finally modified my potrace GUI in order to include also support for Autotrace.

AmiFIG has of course menu entries for IMPORT, through potrace and autotrace and EXPORT thourgh FIG2DEV.
