Inkscape Cartography and Drafting Tools

Inkscape is a great program for creating cartographic maps. It would be even better for this task with some simple CAD and cartography tools. Inkscape can be extended through Python extensions. ()

Task Suggestions

• Enter circle by Coordinate.
• Edit node coordinates in dialog box.
• Enter straight line by coordinates.
• Enter arc by coordinates and angle.
• Make line parallel to another line.
• Make text parallel to another line.
• Make line perpendicular to another line.
• Add nodes at distance along path.
• Match label parts to path segments.
