Overview

This really is Inkscape ™ running on your device. It is full featured and professionally supported. Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. Other formats can be imported and exported. Inkscape can render primitive vector shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and 3D boxes) and text. These objects may be filled with solid colors, patterns, radial or linear color gradients and their borders may be stroked, both with adjustable transparency.

Embedding and optional tracing of raster graphics is also supported, enabling the editor to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources. Created shapes can be further manipulated with transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling and skewing. How to use this Inky Android app: Use it just like normal. But here are some specifics to the Android interface. Tap with one figure to left click.

Move mouse by sliding around one finger. Pinch to zoom. Press and hold and then slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in). Slide two fingers up and down to scroll. If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon. If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers. If you want to change the desktop scaling, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing this settings for it to take effect. This is all easier to do on a tablet and with a stylus,.
