My idea was to add no new GUI tools, but merely use what we already have. Using one of the existing tools, such as Calligraphy or Freehand, draw an object over the area of the bitmap you want to be traced.
Excellent idea.
The SIOX filter would work similarly to the existing trace
filters. But in addition to requiring that a single bitmap be selected, it will also require one or more SPItems (SPCurves?) be selected, and determine the selected region from one of: (a) the node lists, (b) the bounding boxes, or (c) do "make a bitmap copy," and use SIOX normally.
Naturally (c) is the best approach, and not too difficult to do.
