Sketsa SVG Editor - последняя версия межплатформенного
приложения от Kiyut для работы с векторной графикой, основанного на
SVG, была полностью создана на Java.
Sketsa необычен не только потому, что был написан на Java, который
позволяет этому приложению работать на Windows, Mac и Linux системах,
но и потому, что очень тесно работает с SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
и XML. Кроме некоторых ожидаемых инструментальных средств для работы с
векторами, продукт также обеспечивает специфическими SVG инструментами
и доступ к исходному коду SVG, через встроенный текстовый редактор XML.
Sketsa использует SVG как родной формат, но окончательные работы могут
быть экспортированы в JPEG и PNG форматы.
Sketsa is a cross platform vector drawing application based on SVG.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a graphics format and technology
based on XML developed by W3C. With Sketsa, you can create vector
graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution, without
losing detail or clarity. You also can get instant visual feedback on
what you changed.
Sketsa features various tools for optimizing content creation, giving
designers unsurpassed support for creativity. This tools include
property palette, source editor, defs editor, SVG specific shape tools,
transformation tools, and additional illustration tools. It uses SVG as
a native file format.
Features
SVG Native File Format
Sketsa uses SVG as its native file format. SVG is an open-standard
language for describing two-dimensional (2D) graphics in XML developed
by W3C. As being a XML grammar lets SVG benefit from the various XML
tools that make it so easy to manipulate, generate, search and edit SVG
files.
Tool Palette and Canvas
Its visual design tools allows designer to select, draw, and edit objects easily. It support SVG specific shape tools: , , , , . It also support additional illustration tools such as Pencil tool for freeform shape and Pen tool for curve shape.
Object Property
Designer can quickly inspect and change object properties such as
geometry, stroke, fill, or filter effect in one centralized location.
In each of the category you can change the value and automatically
shown in the canvas.
Source Editor
Sketsa provide access to the underlying source code of graphic files
for experienced designers. The integrated XML text editor allows them
to view and edit SVG source code directly. It has built in SVG
validation to ensure source code change are valid SVG.
Resource Editor
It is a centralized location of resources for the current/selected SVG document. It is equivalent with the SVG elements. This is the place where object reuse is achieved.
Export to Raster or Bitmap
Sketsa allows you to export SVG artwork into raster image. It support JPEG and PNG.
DOM Editor
