. Development status Active Written in with, (extensions) and 93.3 Available in 66 languages, version 3 or later Website Inkscape is a; it can be used to create or edit vector graphics such as illustrations, diagrams, line arts, charts, logos and complex paintings.
Inkscape's primary vector graphics format is, however many other formats can be imported and exported. Inkscape can primitive vector shapes (e.g. Rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and 3D boxes) and text. These objects may be filled with solid colors, patterns, radial or linear and their borders may be stroked, both with adjustable transparency. Embedding and optional of is also supported, enabling the editor to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources. Created shapes can be further manipulated with transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling and skewing. Contents.
History Inkscape began in 2003 as a of the project. Sodipodi, developed since 1999, was itself based on 's Gill (GNOME Illustration Application). The Inkscape interprets the word Inkscape as a compound of ink and. Four former Sodipodi developers (Ted Gould, Bryce Harrington, and MenTaLguY) led the fork; they identified differences over project objectives, openness to third-party contributions, and technical disagreements as their reasons for forking.
With Inkscape, they said they would focus development on implementing the complete SVG standard, whereas Sodipodi development emphasized developing a general-purpose vector graphics editor, possibly at the expense of SVG. Following the fork, Inkscape's developers changed it greatly: they changed the programming language from to; adopted the (formerly GIMP Toolkit) toolkit C bindings ; redesigned its, and added a number of new features. Notably, Inkscape's implementation of the SVG standard, although incomplete, has shown gradual improvement. Since 2005 Inkscape has participated in the program. Up until the end of November 2007, Inkscape's was hosted on. Thereafter it moved to. In June 2017 it moved to.

Ink is a common substance for drawings, and is used when the sketched work is ready to be permanently committed to paper, and thus evokes the idea that Inkscape is ready for production work. A scape is a view of a large number of objects, such as a landscape or ocean-scape, and thus alludes to the object-oriented nature of vector imagery. Retrieved 2015-12-09.
