| | Graphics : Sketch, vectorial drawing under Linux (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18) |
 | | Sketch is a vector drawing program, which is to say it represents a figure, a circle for example, by a mathematical formula, whereas a program such as The Gimp, a bitmap editor, uses points (pixels). |
 | | This article reviews the principle tools of Sketch, details the creation of a drawing of a floppy disk, and explains some "special" effects worthy of the big shots of vector drawing. |
 | | This can be useful if you must provide a drawing to someone who does not have the fonts you've used on their machine; you vectorize the text and that person will be able to open the drawing without problem. |
