Hi,

	I have started writing a book on using Inkscape. It is in what I would
call pre-alpha stage. The structure and format will certainly change and
much is missing. Even so, it might be of use to someone. You can have a
look at

	http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php

	Constructive comments are appreciated.
      

if I may add my 2 cents, I would recommend to change

  
Explanation of Vector Graphics vs. Bitmap or Raster Graphics
    

to

  
Explanation of Vector Graphics vs. Bitmap Graphics
    

because I personally find the term "Raster Graphics"
as synonymous for Bitmap Graphics somewhat misleading.
To me "Raster Graphics" are Bitmap Graphics rasterized
& with CYMK separation.

Greetings,

Claus
  
Just to add some confusion to the matter. I thought that bitmap is technically a black and white image only. Literally a bit map; 0 or 1, black or white (or more accurately, foreground or background). Then it became the name for Microsoft's raster - uh, full colour - file format with the .bmp extension.

Personally, when I refer to a bitmap I'm refering to the MS standard, in the same way I'm refering to the tag image file format when I say tiff. But I would describe both of those as raster file formats.
