7.4. Drawing with Inkscape
Inkscape helps you draw illustrations for the Web, graphics for mobile phones, simple line drawings, cartoons, complex works of art, figures for chapters and books or organization charts.
Inkscape is a high-end graphic tool with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw or Xara X. It is multi-plat- form software that is freely available for the Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris and Mac OS X operating sys- tems.
You can use it to rotate, re-size, skew, proportion, fill and stroke objects with a high level of precision. Advanced visual effects such as gradient and transparency are also available.
Inkscape is not part of the default graphics package in Ubuntu however, you can install this package from repositories.
