| Inkscape | |
| License: Open Source Added: 2005.11.10 (3 years ago) Inkscape website | Description: Inkscape is an open source drawing tool with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons meta-data, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats. Latest versions support PDF editing. |
| Comment: Works very well on Windows, I'm impressed in spite of myself (I've used Illustrator off and on for several years and versions). The interface is sluggish and that is annoying. I hope they can fix that. | |

| Comment: A great program, I try to use it for all my personal documents. It's ability to export documents to PDF, and presentations to SWF is a very nice feature. OpenOffice.org can sometimes open corrupted MS Office files that crash MS Office. The only major lack has been a MS Access like replacement however the 2.0 release of OpenOffice.org includes one. | |
