Participants will need a laptop to follow along. Preregister to take advantage of the interactive portion. The session will end with an interactive question and answer period.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are the file type used for our laser cutters and the base files for the vinyl cutter, plus they have many other applications. Node editing: moving nodes and Bezier handles, node alignment and distribution, etc.In this online class designed for Inkscape newbies, learn to build and edit an SVG using the free software Inkscape. Path markers (ending, middle and/or beginning marks, e.g. Layers (lock and/or hide individual layers, rearrange them, etc layers can form a hierarchical tree)Ĭolor selector (RGB, HSL, CMYK, color wheel, CMS)Ī gradient editor capable of multi-stop gradientsĭashed strokes, with many predefined dash patterns Grouping objects (“select in group” without ungrouping, or “enter the group” making it a temporary layer) Z-order operations (raising and lowering)
Transformations (moving, scaling, rotating, skewing), both interactively and by specifying exact numeric values Text tool (multi-line text, full on-canvas editing)Įmbedded bitmaps (with a command to create and embed bitmaps of selected objects)Ĭlones (“live” linked copies of objects), including a tool to create patterns and arrangements of clones Shape tools: rectangles (may have rounded corners), ellipses (includes circles, arcs, segments), stars/polygons (can be rounded and/or randomized), spirals Contributions to Inkscape are tax deductible in the United States.ĭrawing: pencil tool (freehand drawing with simple paths), pen tool (creating Bézier curves and straight lines), calligraphy tool (freehand drawing using filled paths representing calligraphic strokes) Inkscape is a member of the Software Freedom Conservancy, a US 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Help and support is provided by the community, and there are lots of ways for you to get involved if you want to help improve the Inkscape project. The Inkscape project has a growing international user community, and many learning materials exist to help get you started with your creations. It has a comprehensive feature set, a simple interface, multi-lingual support and is designed to be extensible users can customize Inkscape’s functionality with add-ons. It can import and export various file formats, including SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, PS and PNG.
Inkscape uses the standardized SVG file format as its main format, which is supported by many other applications including web browsers.
It uses vector graphics to allow for sharp printouts and renderings at unlimited resolution and is not bound to a fixed number of pixels like raster graphics. It offers a rich set of features and is widely used for both artistic and technical illustrations such as cartoons, clip art, logos, typography, diagramming and flowcharting. Inkscape is a Free and open source vector graphics editor for GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS X.
