No, and linux is not well served by vector editors. You can use a program
to convert a bitmap to a vector format (vector EPS for eg.). EPS tends to
be prefered by publishers, but beware as most linux programs will just
convert a bitmap to an EPS bitmap, which isn't really what you want.
There is a program called autotrack for linux that does this, but I haven't
had very good results from it.
