| 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.
