Description
Inkscape can be used to create or edit vector graphics such as:
Inkscape's primary vector graphics format is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) version 1.1.
While Inkscape can import and export several formats, all editing workflow inevitably occur within the constraints of the SVG format.
Inkscape can render the primitive vector shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and isometric boxes), text and regions containing raster graphics.
Inkscape supports image tracing, enabling the user to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources.
Created shapes can be subjected to further transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling and skewing.
These objects may be filled with solid colors or color gradients, their borders stroked or their transparency changed.
As of 2015, Inkscape does not support SVG animation or full Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) specifications.
GIMP
Inkscape users also commonly use GIMP, a raster graphics editor.
