It's one hell of a product, even though it's not v1.0 yet. As with all such projects, it's sometimes hard for us newbies to get to grips with things because of a lack of examples and documentation. Since I've been struggling for a couple of days, I thought I'd write up how to create complex shapes, flow text into shapes and get text to be justified. Clearly, for most users this isn't rocket science, but it might save another new user a bit of time. All the fun is at http://www.coofercat.com/wiki/InkScape (including, importantly, an SVG example). If the Inkscape community wants to use my example for anything, then by all means do so. Obviously, correct any mistakes or make improvements along the way! Cheers, ...Ralph Bolton=20

Wacom Graphire3 works perfectly with Inkscape. Only as a generic pointing device. Pressure sensitivity and other stuff is not supported yet. AFAIR it needs creating a new instrument with some known underlying math algorithms. This will be implemented one day.
