similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C
standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape Goals
Inkscape = ink + Scape
Inkscape Design
 Things Illustrator can do that Inkscape cannot do:

* Gradient meshes
* Multiple strokes and fills for one object
* Color management for print (ICC Profiles, etc.)
* PMS color
* Natively work with graphs based on data
* Free transform and perspective transform (only via extension)
* Blends (only via extension)

Things Inkscape can do that Illustrator cannot:

* Edit SVG source directly

* Clones, tiled clones, edit clones on canvas
* Keys to move/rotate/scale by screen pixels
* Shapes as objects
* Edit gradients with handles on-canvas (CS4 added this feature)
* Edit nodes with keyboard
* One-click paint bucket fill
* Color painting over objects (CS4 added this feature with the name Blob brush)
