wavy, sayagata, wave and dot, cross screening

Moved forward with the previous halftone template.
This time the screen image is not a repeating gradient, but a pattern fill.
Working with inkscape it turned out that the use process is rather different than the mentioned points. The basic of the problem is the resulting image traced can end up 100k+ nodes, likely having a performance issue. Then, it means it's easier just to generate a raster copy and trace it outside.
My workflow is the following: import a photograph into the template file in inkscape,
create a raster copy (Alt+B). It results in a raster image generated in the svg template's folder.
Then, uploading that raster image to potrace at openclipart.org.
Profit.
