- No, if you drag a sprite file into Draw it is STILL a bitmapped sprite. Drag
- a small (say, 64x64) sprite in and then resize it up to 2 or 3 times it's
- original size and you'll see what I mean.
-
- Trace converts the bitmap sprite files into a vector file, so when it's
- resized the result is an exact scaled up/down version of the original. For
- large images, the vector file will often take up less room as well.
