 Inkscape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inkscape is a free software and open source vector graphics editor.
One of the priorities of the Inkscape project is interface consistency and usability.
The interface of Sodipodi (Inkscape's predecessor) was partly based on those of Corel Draw and The GIMP.

 NewsForge Introduction to Inkscape 0.4
Inkscape is an open source vector art application that features a powerful and intuitive interface that imbues even the most novice user with the ability to produce high-quality, scalable art.
Inkscape builds are also available for a number of platforms, including several Linux distributions, Windows, and Mac OS X. This new version of Inkscape uses bleeding-edge GNOME libraries, which may make it difficult for some users to install.
Inkscape is an excellent program, and the latest version is undoubtedly the best yet.

 NewsForge Inkscape review: It's all in the UI
Inkscape is developing rapidly, and the news that it has taken advantage of Google's Summer of Code to employ four additional developers suggests that the current, rapid rate of development will continue, and may even increase.
Each is an Inkscape file, which means that users can try actions in the same window as the instructions.
By focusing its development on the basic interface, objects and paths, and text objects, Inkscape already shows an awareness of interface and usability issues that makes it one of the most promising desktop free software projects of the last few years.

 Googles Summer Of Code - Inkscape Wiki
Inkscape is a bit heavy in its memory use, and is tough to use on computers with limited RAM.
An implementation approach for this would be to create a new Inkscape extension, "crs2pdf", which links to the Cairo library for PDF rendering capability, and to Vector Section for parsing the SVG into CRS.
Inkscape's text tool is handy, but still lacks many of the niceties that users would like.

 MacMerc.com: In-depth with Inkscape
Inkscape provides many of the must-have vector illustration tools needed for logo creation and just about anything else you have in mind.
For many designers, Inkscape is the lynch-pin in their escape from commercial software.
Inkscape does its work in the open SVG format, but is capable of exporting EPS and Postscript files.

 The GNOME Usability Project - FUI
Inkscape is not a techincal drawing or 3D graphics or Computer Aided Design (CAD) program.
Inkscape could possibly also be described as repalcing OpenOffice.org Draw but as inseperably part of a suite it has a huge amount of inertia and slightly different userbase.
Inkscape plans to implement the SVG specification, as well as provide drawing tools seen in other drawing applications.

 LWN: Vector graphics with Inkscape
Inkscape may not be at the same level of functionality as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw, but it's certainly capable of creating some excellent graphics -- even if this writer isn't quite up to the task of fully exploiting its potential.
Inkscape will open or import graphics from Adobe Illustrator and Dia, other programs' SVG documents and a wide array of bitmap graphics formats.
Though Inkscape doesn't have a full user manual at this stage, it does include several useful tutorials for basic and advanced concepts when working with Inkscape, as well as an excellent man page.

Inkscape is a vector drawing app, so naturally it strokes the path directly.
And the pop-up menu is the initial working of some new UI framework that is also present for the “Swatches” dialog.

 Inkscape, a future Xara X rival! - TalkGraphics.com
Inkscape is an open source object based drawing application (originally a branch of Sodipodi) and there are two main features of Inkscape that is especially interesting to a Xara X user; Inkscape specializes in SVG graphics (something which Xara X does not) and also, the main developers seem very interested in usability!
Inkscape is several orders of magnitude more stable than Sodipodi ever was (and now Sodipodi is effectively dead, everyone has switched to Inkscape).
New Inkscape versions are available every few months, and they're not just bugfixes - each version has a truckload of new features and usability improvements.

 Inkscape Creative Commons
Inkscape is a new open source vector graphics editor, specializing in the SVG format.
As an added bonus, Inkscape even supports our metadata and does fine opening up the svg files in our presskit.
In the past, vector illustration applications have been limited to a few expensive choices, so it's great to see an open source project tackle an open format.

 Diary for bwh
Since Inkscape is an editor, what we need is a 'dynamic' SVG renderer, that allows us to interactively alter the drawing as the user moves things around, adds new drawing elements, updates style definitions, and so forth.
Thus, Cairo seems to have reached a point where it is a viable replacement for the libart-based rendering code in librsvg, and work is progressing with that goal in mind.
If any students out there are interested, Inkscape's been accepted as one of the mentor projects for Google's Summer of Code.

We want Inkscape to follow a core-plus-modules approach similar to that adopted by many successful open source projects such as the Linux kernel, Perl, Apache, Gimp, and so on.
It can also be helpful to list your extension with one of the various software registries, such as Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.net).
It provides all of the information that is used to identify the extension, and determine what type of extension it is. This file is loaded on startup of Inkscape, and the objects relating to the extension are created.

The ability to right-click an object and immediately gain access to the functions that apply to that object is also an extremely useful feature.
Overall, Inkscape is probably the winner here, but only if you're not a former FreeHand/Illustrator user with a lot of legacy files.
I've since tinkered with this a bit and confirmed that the developers were correct (not that I expected otherwise).

 a million monkeys typing » Inkscape 0.42.1
After a few months of feverish activity, the Inkscape team have released version 0.42.1 of their Open Source illustration program, and it’s quite a decent piece of software.
Yes, we can import Inkscape’s SVG files into Scribus, but that’s not very easy, nor particularly cross-platform-friendly at the moment — the fewer impediments, the better.
This is one of the reasons why OOo Draw was so attractive: the tabs at the bottom would take you to different pages (à la CorelDRAW), and so you could easily work on multiple designs at once.

Background ========== Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Impact ====== An attacker could entice a user into opening a maliciously crafted SVG file, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code on a machine with the privileges of the user running Inkscape.
Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-gfx/inkscape < 0.43 >= 0.43 Description =========== Joxean Koret has discovered that Inkscape incorrectly allocates memory when opening an SVG file, creating the possibility of a buffer overflow if the SVG file being opened is specially crafted.

The good (and bad) thing about Illustrators SVG is that you can open it back up in Illustrator and then edit it as if its a normal.AI file.
