For importing PostScript or EPS, please see How to open EPS files in Windows. With the help of extensions, Inkscape can open a number of other vector formats. And, as of version 0.91, Inkscape can import CDR (CorelDraw) and VSD (Visio) natively. Inkscape natively supports opening or importing many different formats, such as SVG, SVGZ (gzipped SVG), PDF, EPS, and AI (Adobe Illustrator) formats.
Note that Windows 98/Me and 2000 are no longer supported. We know that Inkscape is successfully used on FreeBSD and other Unix-like operating systems.
We provide source tarballs for Linux (binary packages are offered by the distributor) as well as flatpak and snap packages and a ppa for Ubuntu, packages for Windows (32bit and 64bit, portable app, fully self-contained installer, binary without installation), and Mac OS X (DMG, also MacPorts, Homebrew provided by community members). For more information, see About SVG below. Its acceptance has grown fast! Most, if not all, vector editors can import and export SVG, and all modern browsers (including IE, starting with IE9) can display it directly, i.e. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open, industry-standard XML-based format for vector graphics developed by the W3C. An imported raster images becomes yet another object in your vector graphics, and you can do with it everything you can do to other kinds of objects (move, transform, clip, etc.). Note that Inkscape can import and display raster images, too. Raster graphics tend to be better for photographs and some kinds of artistic drawings, while vectors are more suitable for design compositions, logos, images with text, technical illustrations, etc. Each has its own purpose and is useful for different kinds of things. Vector graphics are a complement, rather than an alternative, to raster graphics. A rasterization engine uses this information to determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom level.Ĭontrast that to raster ("bitmap") graphics, which is always bound to a specific resolution, and stores an image as a grid of pixels. Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and objects that you see in the image. In contrast to raster (“bitmap”) graphics editors such as Photoshop or GIMP, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format.
What sets Inkscape apart is its use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an open XML-based W3C standard, as the native format. Let's say you're YouTube, and want to set the primary color to your brand's palette.Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor similar to Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand, or Xara X. to use your brand-specific colors), you can add an additional style sheet and tweak the values of the CSS variables. If you want to customize the colors beyond the palette (e.g. Material for MkDocs implements colors using CSS variables (custom properties).
The first media query that matches selects the default color palette. When the user first visits your site, the media queries are evaluated in the order of their definition. If it doesn't match, the first one is automatically used. It's also the fallback when no media query matches. Theme : palette : - media : "(prefers-color-scheme: light)" # (1)! scheme : default toggle : icon : material/toggle-switch-off-outline name : Switch to dark mode - media : "(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" # (2)! scheme : slate toggle : icon : material/toggle-switch name : Switch to light mode In order to automatically set the color palette to the user's system preference, a media query can be set as part of the media property next to the toggle definition in mkdocs.yml: Required – This property is used as the toggle's title attribute and should be set to a discernable name to improve accessibility.+ – material/lightbulb-outline + material/lightbulb.+ – material/eye-outline + material/eye.+ – material/weather-sunny + material/weather-night.+ – material/toggle-switch-off-outline + material/toggle-switch.Required – This property must point to a valid icon path referencing any icon bundled with the theme, or the build will not succeed.The following properties must be set for each toggle: icon Make sure that the color combination of your choosing provides enough contrast and tweak CSS variables where necessary.
With 2 (color schemes) x 21 (primary colors) x 17 (accent color) = 714 combinations, it's impossible to ensure that all configurations provide a good user experience (e.g.Note that the theme.palette setting is now defined as a list.Theme : palette : # (1)! - scheme : default toggle : icon : material/toggle-switch-off-outline name : Switch to dark mode - scheme : slate # (2)! toggle : icon : material/toggle-switch name : Switch to light mode
