For our Roundup, we selected the five most prominent vector graphics editors for Linux. But there are more applications to explore. It’s well worth having a look at SketsaSVGEditor ($89, www.kiyut.com), the SCADA- inspired GLIPSGraffiti editor ( http://glipssvgeditor. sourceforge.net) or Xfig ( www.xfig.org): old-fashioned, but still active and usable. Even long-abandoned bits of software such as Sodipodi are sometimes worth looking at, if only for educational purposes.

You might have noticed that most of the editors here are cross-platform, but you can go even further and choose an online vector editor. Check out Janvas ( www.janvas.com): a Chrome/Chromium extension primarily meant for web graphics production. There are many others, including Google’s SVG-edit and the open source Vector Magic ( www.vectormagic. com). Most such editors are easy to use and learn, and also provide help for newcomers. There’s an abundance of choices, including great bits of open source software for any taste, welcoming you to contribute.
