Sodipodi is a vector graphics editor. Files in SVG format can be generated and
edited.
Sodipodi is the forerunner of the well-known editor "Inkscape".

Homepage: http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net


New in this release:
--------------------

  * The program was compiled with GTK+ 2.24.32. As a result, among other things,
    drag 'n drop now works.
    The new file requester, which is much more comfortable than the requester
    from GTK+ 2.6.9, is also useful.

  * New start scripts for the start on the desktop and the standalone start.


Features
--------

* Extensive set of features for editing vector images:

  - mirror
  - rotate
  - combine / disassemble
  - straighten
  - transparencies
  - and much more...

* Drawing modes:

  - freehand lines or Bezier curves
  - text
  - rectangle
  - ellipse
  - star
  - spiral
  - pen
  - pencil
  - calligraphy

* Gradients (linear and radial).

* Grouping of objects

* Printer support.

* Can export project into a PNG file. Additionally can export project to
  postscript and PDF format using the print requester.

* Import of graphics in the formats JPeg, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, XPM and SVG.

* XML editor to edit the SVG data directly.

* Intuitive GUI

* High performance

* and much more...


The tool "ill2svg.pl"
---------------------

  The original sodipodi package contained a perl script, which can convert files
  in Adobe Illustrator format to SVG format. The command must be called like
  this:

  perl Cygnix:CygnixPPC/bin/ill2svg.pl >example.svg example.ai

  The script works, but mostly not without errors. To complete the package, this
  command was included.


Important
---------

  When a picture can be displayed in the file requesters preview, it does not
  mean, that you can load it into Sodipodi. The requester, which is part of the
  GTK-2 library, uses different code than Sodipodi itself.


Installation
------------

  The X11 environment AmiCygnix version 1.6 (or higher) must be installed
  before! AmiCygnix is available on OS4-depot (http://os4depot.net).

  To install the package, just click on the install icon. The data will be
  installed into the AmiCygnix package. Afterwards you can find the programs in
  "Cygnix:Software/Sodipodi-0.34". To launch the program doubleclick on
  "Start_Sodipodi_Desktop.bat" or "Start_Sodipodi_Standalone.bat".
