[osol-discuss] what do you use for vector graphics?

2009-03-27 Thread Craig van Vliet
Hi 

Coming from windows I previously used illustrator, then in ubuntu it was 
inkscape and xara extreme. These packages aren't available (yet??), so what do 
people use to draw pictures. If they are working in an opensolaris only 
environment?

Cheers
Craig

Sorry, for having suggested you gimp, I have no experience with vector graphics.

All I can suggest is something like this:

They are compiling necessary software :)

Or you can wait until gimp 2.8, i heard it will incorporate some inkscape 
functions re vector graphics

  I think inkscape is in the pipeline. Not sure when, but I reckon 
soon. Don;t know what xara extreme is.

But we do have dia :)

  so what do people use to draw pictures. If they are working in an opensolaris 
only environment?

I use Openoffice - Draw.  Seems pretty full featured to me.

Normally OpenOffice Draw, but Dia (SUNWdia in /dev) is quite good for  
some jobs too.

Hi,

Sodipodi is early inkscape, and I did have it in use from blastwave before, I 
have a new machine I am setting up. Skencil is a kde app, and I am not sure how 
well it works in gnome.

I have found dia extremely useful in the past, and only after posting did I 
think of it again. I also agree that Open Office draw does suffice for most 
jobs. Scribus has some pretty good svg capability as well.

It is just that this is about the only thing stopping me being able to be 
opensolaris only. I would also like lyx, but can live without it.
