Inkscape

From Computing Knowledgebase

Wikipedia:Inkscape Inkscape is a free vector graphics editor application. Its stated goal is to become a powerful graphic tool while being fully compliant with the XML, SVG and CSS standards.

Inkscape is primarily developed for Linux, but it is cross-platform and runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X (under X11), and other Unix-like operating systems. As of 2007, Inkscape is under active development, with new features being added regularly. Inkscape's implementation of SVG and CSS standards is incomplete; most notably, it does not support SVG filter effects (with some exceptions, see below), animation, and SVG fonts. However, complete support for all three is on the roadmap.

Inkscape has good multi-lingual support particularly for complex scripts, something currently lacking in most commercial vector graphics applications.
