Skencil, a vector drawing program
Skencil is a Free Software interactive vector drawing appliction. Known to run on GNU/Linux and other UNIX-compatible systems, it is a flexible and powerful tool for illustrations, diagrams and other purposes.
A somewhat unique (for a drawing program) feature of Skencil is that it is implemented almost completely in a very high-level, interpreted language, Python. Python is powerful, object-oriented and yet easy to use.
Just a few highlights about Skencil's features
* Bézier Curves
* Transformed text and images
* Bézier curves, rectangles and ellipses can be used as guides
* Gradient fills
* Blend groups
* Writes EPS files
* Text along a path
* many more...
