Editorial review

The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 0.4

Inkscape

is an open source software for managing vector graphics with the

capabilities of well-known software’s such as The illustrator,

CorelDraw, etc… It’s based on the standard vector graphics format (SVG).



The program supports many options of vector graphics, has an

elegant design and appearance in it interface. It is very easy to

install and to use. It saves resources as much as possible. It has a

Multilanguage support which show the software development advances.





It

is a program with a GPL licenses, is focused in Linux operating

systems, but it also provides the capacity option to be used in windows.







As a detail that we can mention, when the program is installed

automatically detects the language of our operating system and installs

the software in the same language, if we want to use any other language

we need to implement commands, in the use of Microsoft Windows operating

system it has a guide showing us that we need to create a .bat file to

run the software in an specific language. This is a disadvantage because

is not as easy as going to an option on the menu and proceed with the

desired selection; we are forced to apply commands. The website gives us

all the commands and information necessary to proceed with any change.

Pros

• Freeware


• Easy to install and use.


• Saves the use of resources as much as possible.


• Based on the SVG format.

Cons

• It does not provide so many extension as CorelDraw or Illustrator to save the files.


• The configuration has to be done using commands.
