Inkscape would be GIMP's Illustrator. the unfortunate thing about Inkscape and GIMP is that it is too separate projects and two different widget sets (kind of) so there are some naturally occuring restrictions about GIMP's ability to steal functionality (in the same way that photoshop stole from illustrator). carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
