Description:
Inkscape is one of the best scalable vector editors that I've
known so far. However, it has a big advantage over the competition
because it's free and open source. You can use this application to
create amazing graphics, which use the W3C standard SVG (scalable
vector graphics) file format. It has most, if not all the features
of a professional graphics editor, but it comes without any
charge.
The user interface is relatively easy to use. If you are a beginner
wanting to see what you can create with this software, you could
start by visiting the sample SVG files which are distributed along
with this application. These examples can be found in the
"C:\Program files\Inkscape\share\examples" folder (provided
that you installed the program in "C:\Program
files\Inkscape\").
I appreciated Inkscape since the first time I used it. I like its
user interface very much because it's easy to use and provides
easy access to all the program's features. Truth is that Inkscape
looks and feels just like any other professional illustration
application.
Inkscape works with nodes, curves, lines, and shapes to create
illustrations. At the time of my writing this review, the
application features a set of 14 tools for drawing and moving
objects or text. I tested the application for a couple of days,
without any major problems.
Pluses: SVG files are in fact a kind of XML files. Inkscape
uses Phyton to process SVG files, whenever you apply an effect to
your current illustration. The built-in Phyton scripts include
functions for modifying the brightness, contrast, or hue of an
illustration. You can also use Inkscape to add nodes, fractalize,
straighten lines, or to flatten bezier lines. This is done by using
the Effects menu.
Drawbacks / flaws: You need to have a powerful computer to
edit complex vector graphics.
In conclusion: If I wasn't able to impress you with this
review, maybe you'll be impressed with Inkscape's features. This
application is definitely worth a try.
