Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Inkscape

See Inkscape for more information on the software program itself; this article covers the use of the program for basic drawing.
A series of simple drawings made using Inkscape. With practice and skill, drawings of very high quality can be produced using this Open Source software. As these are vector graphics, the images can be scaled to any size, large or small, without loss of quality.

Inkscape is a free program used to edit vector graphics. Inkscape provides a graphical user interface for the editing of such diagrams, using the standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format.[1]

  1. ^ Actually Inkscape uses a superset of SVG; Later in the article we will explain about how to convert it to standard SVG such that Mediawiki's use of the rendering engine RSVG will display these images appropriately (it's fairly trivial)
