## Options

Using a custom options object:
```javascript
var options = { ltres:2, qtres:1, pathomit:8 }; // Any option can be omitted which will be set to the default

// Adding custom palette. This will override numberofcolors.
options.pal = [{r:0,g:0,b:0,a:255}, {r:0,g:0,b:255,a:255}, {r:255,g:255,b:0,a:255}];

// Using these options and appending the SVG to an element with id="svgcontainer"
ImageTracer.imageToSVG(
	'panda.png', /* input filename / URL */
	
	function(svgstr){ ImageTracer.appendSVGString( svgstr, 'svgcontainer' ); }, /* callback function on SVG string result */
	
	options /* custom options object */
);
```

#### Tracing

|Option name|Default value|Meaning|
|-----------|-------------|-------|
|```corsenabled```|```false```|Enable or disable [CORS Image loading](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/CORS_enabled_image)|
|```ltres```|```1```|Error treshold for straight lines.|
|```qtres```|```1```|Error treshold for quadratic splines.|

|```numberofcolors```|```16```|Number of colors to use on palette if pal object is not defined.|
|```mincolorratio```|```0```|Color quantization will randomize a color if fewer pixels than (total pixels*mincolorratio) has it.|
|```colorquantcycles```|```3```|Color quantization will be repeated this many times.|

#### Layering

|Option name|Default value|Meaning|
|-----------|-------------|-------|
|```layering```|```0```|0: sequential ; 1: parallel|

#### SVG rendering

|Option name|Default value|Meaning|

|```linefilter```|```false```|Enable or disable line filter for noise reduction.|
|```scale```|```1```|Every coordinate will be multiplied with this, to scale the SVG.|
|```roundcoords```|```1```|rounding coordinates to a given decimal place. 1 means rounded to 1 decimal place like 7.3 ; 3 means rounded to 3 places, like 7.356|
|```viewbox```|```false```|Enable or disable SVG viewBox.|
|```desc```|```false```|Enable or disable SVG descriptions.|

|-----------|-------------|-------|
|```layercontainerid```|No default value|Edge node layers can be visualized if a container div's id is defined.|
|```lcpr```|```0```|Straight line control point radius, if this is greater than zero, small circles will be drawn in the SVG. Do not use this for big/complex images.|
|```qcpr```|```0```|Quadratic spline control point radius, if this is greater than zero, small circles and lines will be drawn in the SVG. Do not use this for big/complex images.|

#### Initial palette

|Option name|Default value|Meaning|
|-----------|-------------|-------|
|```pal```|No default value|Custom palette, an array of color objects: ```[ {r:0,g:0,b:0,a:255}, ... ]```|
