Re: 'Tracing' images from files and pictures

Cheers for the advice. I'm hoping that once the students finish then I'll have time to play around.

Re: Hello from Manchester Uni

Not a problem! I'm here now. Plus I've had time to trawl through the board to make sure I'm not about to ask a FAQ.

Does anyone else here have the same machine?

Hello from Manchester Uni

Hi there, Our workshop got our HPC LS 6090 a couple of months ago. We've been playing about (trial and error) with the functions - trying to see what it can do and have used it for a few student and research projects so far.
