Inkscape is an open source vector graphics editor. Its goal is to be fully compliant with the SVG and CSS standards.
Inkscape was originally a code fork of the Sodipodi project. The developers forked from Sodipodi because they had different goals than the Sodipodi team. The fork has, among other things, allowed Inkscape developers to convert the code to C++ and the gtkmm toolkit, and to make changes to the user interface.
