//NOTA: Il tono di un TPixelCM32 rappresenta la transizione tra colore ink e colore paint.
//      di solito, se il tono e' basso abbiamo un colore ink - che puo' anche essere bianco,
//      in teoria...
//      Sarebbe opportuno che il vettorizzatore riconoscesse - per colormap - il colore
//      delle strokes.
//      Approcci: a)  la Signaturemap diventa *piu'* di una bitmap e si seguono le outline
//                    dei singoli colori.
//                 => Sconnessioni tra i colori adiacenti. Bisogna introdurre la distanza tra
//                    colori per seguire l'outline (ossia, i pixel tenuti a dx della outline
//                    devono essere simili).
//
//                b)  Una volta vettorizzato tutto, si sceglie il colore della stroke.
//                    E' possibile controllare il colore sui vertici delle sequenze semplificate
//                    e fare una media.

//NOTE: Transparency makes colors fade to white. Full transparent black pixels are considered white.

//      exists line l : d(l,j)<=1/2, for all i<=j<=k(i).
// 2) Clean the above couples - find couples (i,l(i)):
//        l(i)=min{k(j)},  j=i..n.
// 3) Calculate clipped couples (i',l'); where i'=i+1, l'=l(i)-1.
// 4) Calculate sums for path penalties.
// 5) Apply optimality algorithm.

//      are still admitted.
