Description: vector-based drawing program
- Inkscape loads and saves a subset of the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
- format, a standard maintained by the WWW consortium.
- .
- Inkscape user interface should be familiar from CorelDraw and similar
- drawing programs. There are rectangles, ellipses, text items, bitmap
- images and freehand curves.
- As an added bonus, both vector and bitmap objects can have alpha
- transparency and can be arbitrarily transformed.
- .
- Inkscape supports multiple opened files and multiple views per file.
- Graphics can be printed and exported to png bitmaps.
- .
- Some of the import and export features are provided using the packages
- dia, libwmf-bin, pstoedit, skencil, imagemagick, and perlmagick.
- .
- Other extensions use ruby, libxml-xql-perl, python-numpy, and python-lxml.
- You must have these packages to make full use of all extensions and effects.
- .
- If you want to use the spellchecker, you have to install aspell and the
- respective language-pack, e.g. aspell-en or aspell-de.
+ Inkscape is an illustration editor which has everything you need to
+ create professional-quality computer art. You can use it to make
+ diagrams and illustrations, technical drawings, web graphics, clip art,
+ icons and logos. A collection of hands-on tutorials show you how to
+ combine lines, shapes, and text of different types and styles to build
+ up a picture.
+ .
+ A selection of powerful vector graphics editing tools comes as
+ standard. There is excellent support for paths, gradients, layers,
+ alpha transparency, and text flow control. An extensive library of
+ filters allow you to apply realistic effects, and extensions allow you
+ to work with bitmaps, barcodes and printing marks, amongst other things.
+ .
+ Most of the common vector formats are supported, including PDF, Adobe
+ Illustrator and AutoCAD files, and it has unrivalled support for the
+ SVG web graphics standard.
