Inkscape is a freely-available graphics editing program that uses the scalable vector graphic, or SVG, format. This vector graphics format describes the shape of an object with a resolution-independent description. A rasterization engine then uses this description to plot the item. Inkscape is best-suited to working with technical illustrations, text-containing images and logos. The software can convert many different file formats to SVG format.
