About Inky - Run Inkscape on Android

This really is Inkscape ™ running on your device. It is full featured and professionally supported. Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. Other formats can be imported and exported. Inkscape can render primitive vector shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and 3D boxes) and text. These objects may be filled with solid colors, patterns, radial or linear color gradients and their borders may be stroked, both with adjustable transparency. Embedding and optional tracing of raster graphics is also supported, enabling the editor to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources. Created shapes can be further manipulated with transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling and skewing. How to use this Inky Android app: Use it just like normal. But here are some specifics to the Android interface. * Tap with one figure to left click. * Move mouse by sliding around one finger. * Pinch to zoom. * Press and hold and then slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in). * Slide two fingers up and down to scroll. * If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon. * If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers. * If you want to change the desktop scaling, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing this settings for it to take effect. This is all easier to do on a tablet and with a stylus, but it can be done on a phone or using your finger as well. To access files from the rest of Android, there are many useful links in your home directory (/home/userland) to places like your Documents, Pictures, etc. No need to import or export files. If you don't want to, or cannot pay the cost of this app, you can run Inkscape via the UserLAnd app. Licensing: This app is released under the GPLv3. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/Inkscape The icon is made from the Inkscape Logo which is licenced CC-By-SA 3.0. The original author is Andrew Michael Fitzsimon. This app is not created by the main Inkscape development team. Instead it is an adaptation that allows the Linux version to run on Android.

What Inky - Run Inkscape on Android Is Used For

Inky appears to be a way to run Inkscape on an Android device, so it is mainly used for creating and editing vector graphics. Based on the metadata, it is meant for work such as drawing shapes, arranging text, editing SVG artwork, and adjusting objects with common design actions like moving, rotating, scaling, and skewing. It may also be useful for importing photos or other raster images when building vector artwork.

Because this is a desktop-style graphics editor adapted for Android, it seems best suited to more deliberate editing sessions than quick sketching. The app notes touch gestures for left click, right click, zooming, panning, and opening the keyboard, which suggests it is intended for use on a phone but may be easier on a tablet or with a stylus. The storage and network permissions also suggest it may access local files and connect to the internet as part of the app environment, but the metadata does not indicate any specific cloud or sharing features.
