 Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
 similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the
 W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics  (SVG) file format.
 Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers,
 clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and
 grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data,
 node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing,
 text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. It imports
 formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as
 well as multiple vector-based formats.

 Inkscape's main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing
 tool fully compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards. We also aim
 to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open,
 community-oriented development process, and by making sure Inkcape
 is easy to learn, to use, and to extend.
