+Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to
+Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable
+Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths,
+text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and
+grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing,
+layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text,
+direct XML editing, and more. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and
+others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.
+
+Inkscape requires libsigc++, glibmm, gtkmm (which requires cairomm), and gc,
+all of which are available at SlackBuilds.org.
