Published by Inkscape. Developed by Inkscape team. Approximate size The default of 1 creates rows and columns spaced evenly. To achieve the most eye-pleasing results, randomization can be followed by one or more rounds of unclumping see the next item.

The new Unclump button works the same as in the Tile Clones dialog, except that it unclumps the selected objects instead of the tiled clones of the selected object.

Four new buttons let you align or distribute horizontally or vertically the baseline anchors of the selected text objects non-texts are unaffected by these buttons. All the icons in the dialog are redrawn in a consistent style.

Buttons are rearranged for clarity. Tooltips are made shorter and easier to understand. Nodes can now be aligned or distributed vertically and horizontally when in node editing mode. When you change one of the numbers, the other is updated automatically based on the total number of selected objects.

You can set the vertical and horizontal alignment of objects in rows and columns correspondingly. This menu is not on by default because of some remaining problems with the extensions, but many users report that they are already quite usable. Most extensions that ship with Inkscape require Python to be installed; some require Perl ; also it is now possible to use Ruby for programming extensions. Script extensions can have GUIs to adjust their parameters within specified ranges and with specified default values.

All parameters are remembered and restored across sessions via the preferences. Effects no longer open an additional window to display results. Scripts that return error along with data on STDERR have that data displayed to the user, to allow for more complete reporting of scripting errors. A new command line parameter --extension-directory allows external extension installers to find the directory in which Inkscape is configured to look for extensions.

Several new effects, written in Python, ship with Inkscape 0. Draw Handles : Draws control handles on the nodes of the selected path. FretFind : This is a fretboard design tool capable of designing multiscale and microtonal fretboards for guitars. Interpolate : Blends paths and styles flat color fills only with a given number of steps; requires two paths to be selected.

Kochify : A two-step fractal effect. First, select a path and do "Kochify Load " to store it. Then select another path and do "Kochify" to replace each segment between the nodes of the selected path with the stored path.

For example, if the stored path is an S-like curve, the path will become "wavy"; the size of the waves will depend on how many nodes the source path has use the "Add node" button in the Node tool to add nodes between selected nodes, or the Simplify command to remove extra nodes. Lindenmayer : Draws deterministic context-free Lindenmayer Systems. Creates a new path object in the 0,0 point located off of the canvas.

Motion : Draws isometric 3D wireframe path extrusions for selected paths. Radius Randomize : Randomly moves path nodes, node handles, or both within the specified radius.

Operates on selected paths. Random Tree : Draws a random tree - a classic application of turtle geometry. Segment Straightener : Makes curved path segments a specified percentage straighter by either pulling control handles toward their node or toward a point a third of the distance along the destination straight line. Wavy : Converts the selected rectangle objects into appropriately sized wavy lines. Allows user to specify custom equations f x to use in the plotting.

Bitmap tracing The code of potrace Inkscape's built-in tracer has been updated to version 1. The maximum number of scans is now A tracing progress indicator has been added. Also, the during-trace abort feature is removed, which reduces the CPU load of polling for user interrupts. There is still a between-trace abort feature, so during long multi-pass traces, the user will be able to interrupt those.

With the performance enhancements of the new potrace version, however, users hopefully won't need to interrupt single pass traces as much as before. Unfortunately PostScript even in Level 3 does not support transparency, so this only works for gradients which use different opaque colors, not different levels of transparency of the same color see Known Problems below for some more limitations. Currently this only works when used from the command line, e. Documents can now be exported to PS or EPS from the command line --export-ps and --export-eps correspondingly.

For EPS export, there are command line options for converting text to path --export-text-to-path and setting the bounding box to the page instead of the drawing --export-bbox-page. Determining the dimensions of an object in an SVG document is, in general case, impossible without fully rendering the entire document. Yet this information can be very useful for various automated tasks, such as building composite SVG documents from objects in separate source documents.

Now, to accomplish this, you can run Inkscape with one of the command line options --query-x , --query-y , --query-width or --query-height. The --query-id option specifies the ID of the object that is queried; if not given, the corresponding dimension of the entire drawing is returned.

For PNG export, the new option --export-area-drawing exports the entire drawing not canvas , giving you a PNG of all visible objects without margins. If specified with --export-plain-svg , it affects the exported plain SVG file; otherwise it replaces the source file and exits.

In Selector, doubleclicking an object switches Inkscape to the corresponding tool Node tool for paths, the corresponding shape tools for shapes, Text tool for text objects. Doubleclicking a group enters that group i. If a node does not show one or both handles i. The design community has also developed a number of free extensions for the program, which enhance its functionality. As a reputable and widely-used program, it is generally considered to be safe.

Moreover, there have been no reports of malicious software being included with the program. As a vector-editing program, it is particularly useful in situations where a designer needs the precision and scalability of vectors. For example, commercial printing typically requires the use of vector images to ensure the clarity of the final print. A vector-editing program is also useful for designing logos as these graphical assets often need to be exported at multiple sizes without the loss of quality.

Yes, the current version of the program can be installed on computers using macOS and some versions of the Mac OS X operating systems. Older versions of Mac operating systems may be able to support previous version of the software.

To install the program on a Mac, you will need to download and install the XQuartz package of software. No, the program no longer allows users to export files as Adobe Illustrator AI files. A Guide to Inkscape Web Site. A few useful web pages and downloads: Graphics for use with book's tutorials. Recent versions of Inkscape since 0. This menu might be hidden if Inkscape cannot find these helper programs: latex, dvips, pstoedit.

On Ubuntu, you can install these programs with the command,. Alternatively, you can use the textext extension. It is similar to the build-in LaTeX support,but has a slightly more polished input interface. From version 0.
