One thing that Inkscape tries to do is stand out of the crowd. Looking at that list, you may recognize some big names, so this program has a long hard road ahead in order to make a name for itself.įortunately, even if it's only in the early stages of development, it is very promising, and stands out through special attention paid to details, interface and stability. Inkscape is a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) editor, much like Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Macromedia FreeHand, Draw, and Xara X.

Effects: These are now usable from within Inkscape on all platforms.Gradient Tool: A completely redesigned and much easier to use on-canvas gradient interface with handles displayed directly in the drawing.Text Selection: One can now select part of a text and apply any style to the selection, just like in a word processing application.Flowed Text: Text objects that automatically re-flow to any shape (and not just a rectangle).
