difficult to draw manually.
 
-A user-friendly interface for changing perspective. The current
perspective effect tool in inkscape is too slow and tedious. In Xara, there
are special options, and nodes you can move and it is very easy.
 
-An option for having text, when put on a path, flip, so that it looks
right-side-up on the bottom side of a circle.
 
-A tool to apply overall gradient transparency to an image with a special
tool, instead of applying masking.
 
Tools in Xara I didn't really think about, but would be nice in Inkscape:
 
-Shadow tool for quickly making customized shadows. I've done it manually
in Inkscape, but it is really nice in Xara.
 
-Support the .xar file type.
 
-Export jpegs and gifs.
 
-A tool for really easily making curved lines with nodes (not shaky, and
hand drawn, but more click by click).
 
* Could you provide more info on this and how it compares to libspiro (a library which tries to simplify curve creation and make them look smoother than manually created ones)? --[[User:Pajarico|Pajarico]] 16:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 
Other things I want in Inkscape:
 
-Spellchecker
 
-Run in Mac without X11
 
-Progressive blur without worrying about masking.
 
-More autoshapes

Launchpad Entry: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/sort-out-xara-xtreme-functions

Summary

This spec provides a listing of functionality in Xara but not in Inkscape. It also identifies which of the functionality would be worth implementing in Inkscape, with some prioritization suggestions.

Rationale

Listing Xara-specific functionality is a first step towards actually gaining this functionality in Inkscape. By doing so, it will both ease transition of Xara users to Inkscape, and make Inkscape a better application.
