Spiro Is Now Directly In Inkscape!

Spiro has now been directly integrated into Inkscape!

Sadly the easiest way to see this in action is via the Windows pre-release version (You’ll need 7zip to open that zip file :-)

By “direct integration” I mean that using the normal drawing tools, both freehand and bez-pen, there is a “spiro” mode that converts the points to spiro points.

My friend Andy has posted some drawings he’s made that show off the smooth curves Spiro creates:

Since most graphic designers use Crap OS X, they’ll have to wait until the next official release of Inkscape, later in the summer :-)

I added a section about compiling Inkscape on Fedora 9 to the Inkscape wiki.
