zero0w Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Have you tried Sodipodi? It is a GTK-based Vector Drawing program. Sodiopodi http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/ Mdk 9 & RH 8 RPMs are available. Give it a try, it's very fun to play with it. With Geramik theme I think it just looks pretty, personally :) . Here's a sodipodi screenshot I captured: http://www.geocities.com/zero0w/ What do you think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 UI looks alright, i don't use that sort of program so i can't compare with another. If you like it thats all that matters isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugerobot Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Dude, I'm sure its great, but more importantly: What is that Geramik theme you are using?? Do those icons come with it? It is sweeet. Please tell me, and feel free to email it to me!!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero0w Posted December 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Now that the rumor of Microsoft acquiring Macromedia has surfaced, I think it's a good time to have a look at SVG - the vector drawing/animation (XML-document) format supported by Sodiopodi: > Microsoft To Acquire Macromedia? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/23/1223232 SVG format related info: 1.W3C.org - Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2.SWF Is Not Flash (and Other Vectored Thoughts) 3.Mozilla SVG Project 4.SVG On the Rise 5.Comparing .SWF (Shockwave Flash) and .SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file format 6.Flash and SVG Currently, I believe sodipodi does not support (vector) animation authoring yet but the future looks bright for SVG. This can provide us another choice of content format in case MS really buy out Macromedia :!: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero0w Posted February 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 sodipodi 0.30 is released, this time the release is mostly for bug-fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted February 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Just as a reminder, there's also a full install Win32 version released, for your friends who are still using Windows to try out. I think it's time to introduce open source to more people as well as artists :) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WT Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 sodipodi 0.30 is released, this time the release is mostly for bug-fixing. Sodipodi is a vector graphics program similar to Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator. It's still in its infancy stage yet but very usable and displays well on screen. My observations: Nice display, No fit text to curve function, wierd menu system, no preset color palette, not many other software support SVG format, cryptic PRINT command (version 0.30), does not support truetype fonts, limited export filters (PNG only).

zero0w Posted February 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 You're right. However, you can program/edit SVG in XML if you knew the SVG parser well enough :P . Anyway, Sodipodi 0.31 is released, with more fixes. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
