Inkscape

From Svg wiki

Inkscape is a free, open-source vector graphics editor that uses SVG as its native format. It has capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X. It is based on an earlier open-source application called Sodipodi.

It can be downloaded from Inkscape.org.

Advantages

  • It is under active development
  • It is an advanced authoring environment
  • Since Inkscape uses SVG as its native format, authors know that all the features available will work well in SVG
[edit]

Limitations

  • Inkscape uses many custom-namespaced attributes to help with round-tripping, which increases code size and might not work in all SVG viewers.
  • Since it is a graphical tool, not all the code output is optimized for adaptation to scripting.
