#315 Inkscape

About Inkscape, with installation on macOS.

Notes

Inkscape is a Free and open source vector graphics editor for GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS.

Key Features

  • rich set of features for both artistic and technical illustrations
  • uses vector graphics to allow for sharp printouts and renderings at unlimited resolution
  • the standardized SVG file format as its main format
  • can import and export various file formats, including SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, PS and PNG.

Installation - macOS

Previously I’ve had Inkscape 0.92.x installed using brew, but it seems that may now only be supported for Intel architecture.

I’ve since switched machines and wanted to get Inkscape installed again (current version is 1.4). It seems the packaging has vastly improved in the intervening years. Installation packages for all supported operating system and processor architectures are available.

This time I just installed using the dmg file for arm64 architecture.

About LittleCodingKata

LittleCodingKata is my collection of programming exercises, research and code toys broadly spanning things that relate to programming and software development (languages, frameworks and tools).

These range from the trivial to the complex and serious. Many are inspired by existing work and I'll note credits and references where applicable. The focus is quite scattered, as I variously work on things new and important in the moment, or go back to revisit things from the past.

This is primarily a personal collection for my own edification and learning, but anyone who stumbles by is welcome to borrow, steal or reference the work here. And if you spot errors or issues I'd really appreciate some feedback - create an issue, send me an email or even send a pull-request.
