Inkscape – A noteworthy open source vector graphics software

“What Is Vector Graphics ?

“Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the
actual shapes and objects that you see in the image. A
rasterization engine uses this information to determine how to plot
each line and curve at any resolution or zoom level. If you want to
create design compositions, logos, images with text, technical
illustrations, and so on, you should use a vector graphics
editor.

“While a copy of Adobe Illustrator costs around $600, Inkscape
is free, which makes it affordable for lay persons and home users
to learn to use this very powerful albeit user friendly graphics
software. It is mostly true that Inkscape does not support all the
features of Adobe Illustrator. However, it’s development is
advancing at a steady pace to make it a viable contender in the
Vector graphics software market.

“Inkscape in it’s current form is stable and very usable. For
example, you can use Inkscape to create colorful text effects,
design business cards, render realistic objects, logos, and
illustrations.”
