I have been using Inkscape for making images for buttons. The native
Inkscape file format is svg (scalable vector graphics) with a pixel
canvas. I changed the canvas units to points with a size of 32 x 32 or
smaller, set the grid size to one point wide, and then draw my stuff

Adobe Illustrator CS3 and up has a feature called live trace which is like
the old Streamline program, to trace raster images into vector format.
There is also an app called Vector Magic that can vectorize images, there is a
demo online somewhere.

I need a make a few icons and other graphics for my app, simple
stuff like a small yellow triangle with an invisible background. I'm
totally and completely graphically challenged which never helps. I
can't find a simple (preferably free!) drawing program which will
let me make stuff like this.
If you don't have skill, pay somebody to do it.
Not always an option, even if desirable.
For those of who do want to go with the paid route, our CocoaHeads
group keeps a list of some of the Mac-oriented graphic designers we've
found and/or used in the past. Feel free to register on the

forgot about GIMP, might try that. I found something called 'DrawIt',
the free version of which is crippled to 5 layers but .. not really an
issue for what I'm doing. What I'm creating here are some very small
button icons and a few indicators, 30x30 pixels, small, with very
simple shapes,
I believe png are really what I'm trying to make here, they seem to
be recommended.
PNGs are not resolution independent, although they are perfectly
acceptable. Saving as a TIFF then converting it to PDF with Preview
works well for me.

It doesn't and it cannot. PDF is only a container, that happens to
support vector art well, but cannot vectorize a raster image. If you
properly placed some vector art into a pdf you might be able to
garner some sort of resolution

I will disagree here. It was so worth the effort to move all my
bitmapped images to vector-based artwork. I got beautiful scaling
from 0.5 to 3.0x to include non-integral scaling factors.
In terms of the statement cannot vectorize a raster
