Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to
Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths,
text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and
grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing,
layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text,
direct XML editing, and more. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and
others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.
Inkscape requires libsigc++, glibmm, gtkmm (which requires cairomm), and gc,
all of which are available at SlackBuilds.org. It can also optionally use
PyXML, which will allow you to save projects as .xcf (open with Gimp) to
maintain image layering.
