Inkscape requires Windows 2000, XP, 2003, XP, Vista, 7 or 8. There was no malicious software included with this open-source graphics package. The installation can include some useful examples and tutorials to help the first time users get along with Inkscape. The installation can include a Standard, Custom or Full installation. Layers can be adjusted or positioned above a different layer to change its final appearance.Ĭolor selection is also strong with RGB, HSL, CMYK, color wheel, and CMS allowing for full access to color palettes and the types of colors that are required for certain types of publications like large posters, different types of printers, etc. Layers can be included with some layers locked in place, whereas others are still being worked on. Objects can be grouped together, then manipulated as a group action. Objects already placed on the canvas can be transformed by skewing their structure, rotating them, scaling them up or down in side (which with vector images doesn't lose image quality), or move the object to a different location on the canvas. The text tool can add text that will word wrap over to multiple lines if given enough space to do so.

Shape tools can draw rectangles which can include rounded corners to be more attractive, ellipses that can be used as arcs, segment cut outs or circles, and polygons or stars, plus spirals too. There is both a pencil tool for some freehand drawing and a pen tool that is capable of drawing straight lines or Bézier curves. Where Inkscape has its strength is the vector / SVG graphics area where users can try out creating vector graphics that may include transparencies, overlapping transparencies, markers, clones, and more. Inkscape is an alternative editor for graphics that is similar in functionality to CorelDraw, Xara X or Illustrator.
