- shaggyfrog 16y agoSomedays I think Inkscape on the Mac is only slightly better than having to hand-code my data with a hex editor.
- vog 16y agoAlthough your statement is apparently a joke, there's some unexpected truth in it: You don't even need a hex editor – SVG is an XML format, so a simple text editor will do perfectly fine! This means that in case of some Inkscape issues, you can always fine-tune the vector graphics "by hand". This also means that generating vector graphics is as easy as generating HTML code in a web application. You don't need any imaging library for that. (For the old-school hackers: yes, this is also possible with Postscript, i.e. EPS) Then, you can use Inkscape to preview the picture and to make some final changes by hand, if desired. (Here, things get tricky if you use EPS instead) Also, any modern browser understands SVG, so you don't have to do any image conversion. Heck, you don't even need an <img> tag! Just put the SVG code directly into your (X)HTML document. tl;dr: SVG is really cool, and Inkscape uses it natively.
