For most people in most situations, by far the best tools for
creating graphics are vector graphics editors. In the world of
Linux, the most widely used full-featured vector graphics editor is
Inkscape. Inkscape has the additional benefit of creating files in
the standardized and widely used SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphics)
format, so your graphics can be used directly in websites and/or
eBooks, or converted to other formats.
In this presentation Steve will explain Inkscape fundamentals and

Templates
Node editing
Arrows
Text
