  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.
