Sketch 0.6.1 - A vector drawing program Sketch is a vector drawing program for Linux and other unices. It's intended to be a flexible and powerful tool for illustrations, diagrams and other purposes. Despite the low version number, it already has advanced features like gradients, text along a path and clip masks and its fully scriptable due to its implementation in a combination of Python and C. Changes since version 0.6.0: * Spanish messages. * The AI export filter can handle axial and radial gradients now. * The CMX import filter has better support for gradients. * The AI import filter supports guides Homepage: --------- http://www.online.de/home/sketch Features: --------- o Drawing primitives: o Rectangles o Ellipses o Bezier curves o Bitmap images: JPEG, GIF,... (all types the Python Imaging Library can read) o Encapsulated PostScript o Text o All objects, including images and text, can be rotated, scaled, sheared, etc. (all affine transformations are possible) o Gradient fills o Special Effects and Features: o Use rectangles, ellipses and bezier objects as guides o Blend Groups: Automatically updated interpolations of arbitrary objects o Text can be converted to bezier objects. o Text along Path o Exports Encapsulated PostScript and Adobe Illustrator files o Imports XFig, Adobe Illustrator, Corel CMX and WMF files o Fully scriptable in Python For more information, have a look at the sketch webpage.
