PRESENTATION
Inkscape
by
Bryce Harrington
<bryce@...1...>
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.
