And in a click, you can switch display modes to either focus on a single page or use the new Multipage View. NEW! Autofit Page Another time-saver in CorelDRAW 2021 is the Autofit Page feature. In just a click, you can resize a page to fit its content. You can also quickly customize the margin by specifying the space between design elements and the edge of the page. ENHANCED!

    INKSCAPE Published : 2011-10-05 License : None 1 INTRODUCTION 1. ABOUT INKSCAPE 2. ABOUT SVG 3. INKSCAPE INTERFACE 4. WORKING WITH FILES 2 1. ABOUT INKSCAPE Inkscape is an open source drawing tool for creating and editing SVG graphics. More than just a text vector editor, Inkscape provides a WYSIWYG interface for manipulation of vector images, allowing the artist to express himself freely. While other free and proprietary software with similar capabilities exists, Inkscape provides an interface to directly manipulate the underlying SVG code. T his allows one to be certain that the code complies to W3C standards. Since the beginning of its development, the Inkscape project has been very active, providing stability for the current software and the capacity for future growth. Like other drawing programs, Inkscape offers creation of basic shapes (such as ellipses, rectangles, stars, polygons, and spirals) as well as the ability to transform and manipulate these basic shapes by rotation, stretching, and skewing. Inkscape also allows users to manipulate objects precisely by adjusting node points and curves. Advanced artists find these functions indispensable in drawing software to freely create what they imagine. A user can either manipulate the properties of objects individually and precisely through the XML editor or, in a more general and intuitive fashion, with input devices such as mice, pen tablets, and even touch screens. In addition, Inkscape allows one to insert text and bitmaps (such as PNG—another W3C recommended bitmap image format) into an image, as well as perform some basic editing functions on them. If an artist requires further bitmap editing, he may use other tools (such as the GIMP) on images before or after importing them.
