About Inkscape
Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World
Wide Web
Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG).
Some supported
SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers,
clones, alpha
blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition,
Inkscape
supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers,
complex path
operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML
editing. It can
also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and
exports PNG,
PS, PDF and various vector formats.
Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source
community
with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool.
Additional
work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to
C++/Gtkmm,
emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added
through an
extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open,
community-oriented
development process.
