Skencil is a Free Software interactive vector drawing appliction. Known to run on GNU/Linux and other UNIX-compatible systems, it is a flexible and powerful tool for illustrations, diagrams and other purposes.
sK1 Project was started in 2003 as a Skencil fork. Unfortunately in 2008 Skencil development was stopped. Almost all distros excluded Skencil packages because it is not possible to compile correctly the project code against recent tk8.5/8.6
In 2010 we revitalized Scencil code by following items:
- New distutils build
- Project structure is refactored as a Python 'skencil' package
- Fixes for Tk 8.5/8.6 support
- 64bit platform related fixes
- Mixed indents are eliminated in Python code
- UI fonts and colors import from Gtk engine
- Ruler widget reimplemented to use Xlib drawing instead Tk functionality
- Palette widget redesigned
- Multiple fixes in Russian translation
Despite long delay in the development Skencil looks well:
