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.
