Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor; it can create or edit vector graphics such as illustrations, diagrams, line arts, charts, logos and complex paintings. Inkscape's primary vector graphics format is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) version 1.1. While Inkscape can import and export several formats, all editing workflow inevitably occur within the constraints of the SVG format. Inkscape can render the primitive vector shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and isometric boxes), text and regions containing raster graphics. It supports image tracing, enabling the editor to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources. Created shapes can be subjected to further transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling and skewing. These objects may be filled with solid colors or color gradients, their borders stroked or their transparency changed. , Inkscape does not support SVG animation or full Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) specifications. == History == Inkscape began in 2003 as a code fork of the Sodipodi project. Sodipodi, developed since 1999, was itself based on Raph Levien's Gill (Gnome Illustration Application). The word ''Inkscape'' is a compound of the words ''ink'' and ''scape'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 FAQ )〕 a play on the name of the Netscape web browser.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 "Inkscape", by the way, was a play on "Netscape". (Creative, I know.) )〕 The fork was led by a team of four former Sodipodi developers (Ted Gould, Bryce Harrington, Nathan Hurst, and ''MenTaLguY'') who identified differences over project objectives, openness to third-party contributions, and technical disagreements as their reasons for forking. With Inkscape, they said they would focus development on implementing the complete SVG standard, whereas Sodipodi development emphasized creating a general-purpose vector graphics editor, possibly at the expense of SVG. Since the fork, Inkscape's new developers changed it greatly: They rewrote it from C into C++; adopted the GTK+ toolkit C++ bindings (gtkmm); redesigned its user interface, and added a number of new features. Notably, its implementation of the SVG standard, although incomplete, has shown gradual improvement. Since 2005, Inkscape has participated in the Google Summer of Code program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Inkscape wiki )〕 Up until the end of November 2007, Inkscape's bug tracking system was hosted on Sourceforge. Thereafter it was moved to Launchpad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inkscape」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
