Inkscape

Inkscape is an open source vector graphics editor. Its goal is to be fully compliant with the SVG and CSS standards. Inkscape was originally a code fork from the Sodipodi project caused by differences over the future direction of development. The Inkscape fork has, among other things, changed from using the C programming language to C++; changed to the GTK toolkit C++ bindings (Gtkmm); made changes to the user interface and added new features such as deeper integration with the GNOME desktop. Inkscape supports grouping, affine transforms, z-order operations, direct node editing, freehand drawing, several flexible shape tools, converting to path, boolean operations, path simplification and offsetting, text kerning and tracking, multi-stop gradients, dashed strokes, path markers (e.g. arrowheads), clones (linked copies), pattern fills, live watching and editing the document tree in the XML editor, PNG and PostScript export, and more. Inkscape is currently under active development, with new features being added all the time. \n
