About SVGs
|
|
|
|
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard used to describe
|
|
two-dimensional vector graphics. It is great for diagrams and shapes,
|
|
while PNGs are better for photographs. SVG files are a bit like
|
|
instructions on how to make an image. This means that they can be resized
|
|
without looking pixelated or blocky.

How to make SVGs
|
|
|
|
An excellent tool with which to create SVG images for use in Tux Paint is
|
|
Inkscape, a high-quality Open Source interactive drawing program.
|
|
|
|
It is likely that is already installed on your system. If not, it should
|
|
be readily available from your Linux distribution's software repository.
|
|
If not, or to learn more, visit http://www.inkscape.org/, respectively.
