Synopsis

A comprehensive user’s guide to Inkscape, a vector illustration application.

Dmitry Kirsanov, a former core Inkscape developer, shares his
knowledge of Inkscape's inner workings as he shows how to use
Inkscape to draw with various tools, work with objects, apply realistic
and artistic effects, and more. Step-by-step task-based tutorials show
you how to create business cards, animations, technical and artistic
drawings, and graphic assets for games.

This second edition covers the new tools, improved text features,
advanced new path effects and filters, as well as many new UI
conveniences in Inkscape 1.0. A new chapter describes Inkscape's
extensions for both users and developers.

  • Navigate the canvas and customize your workspace and views
  • Create new objects and transform, style, clone, and combine them
  • Use gradients, patterns, filters, and path effects to liven up your work
  • Work with layers, groups, object order, and locks to control your artwork
  • View and manipulate your document’s structure with the XML Editor and the new Objects dialog
  • Export your work to various formats
