Tools for editing vector graphics in GNU/Linux
09-29-2008 01:00 PM
Over the last decade, vector graphics have gone from being a revolutionary format to a standard method of rendering computer images -- so much so that they are standard in the KDE 4 desktops. This popularity is based on the fact that, because they represent images as mathematical equations -- usually in SVG format -- vector graphics open faster, render better on screen, and can be resized more readily than raster graphics, in which an image is created pixel by pixel. Free software includes a number of options for working with vector graphics, including several simple ones: OpenOffice.org's Draw, KOffice's Karbon14, and Inkscape, which is currently the premier vector graphic editor in free software.

KING(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   KING(1)

NAME

       king - interactive system for three-dimensional vector graphics

SYNOPSIS

       king [options] [input file(s)]

DESCRIPTION

       KiNG  (Kinemage,  Next Generation) is an interactive system for three-dimensional vector graphics. It supports a set of graphics primitives
       that make it suitable for many types of graphs, plots, and other illustrations; although its first use was to display macromolecular struc-
       tures  for  biophysical research. KiNG builds on Mage, JavaMage, and the "kinemage" (kinetic image) concept to deliver a full-featured Java
       application with a user-friendly interface and integrated editing features. The KiNG jar file can be used within  a  web  page  as  a  Java
       applet or Java object to promote easy access to kinemages or coordinate files from a web browser.

OPTIONS

       -version
	      Print version information.

       -m[erge]
	      Merge all input files into one kinemage.

       -s[ingle]
	      Keep all input kin or structure files into separate kinemages.

       -phenix
	      Use Phenix colors for electron density files entered on command line.

INPUT FILES

       KiNG accepts kinemage, PDB, mmCIF, or electron density files as input.
