Path

A finite sequence of smooth curves which are either lines, quadratic curves, or cubic curves. The end point of one curve is usually, but not necessarily, the starting point of the next curve in the sequence.

Draw a Circle

  1. Start Drawmetry and enter "Insert Point" mode by clicking on the "Insert point" button, which has an arrow over a small green square. Hovering over a button brings up a tool tip telling you when your cursor is over the "Insert point" button.
  2. Double-click in two different place on the canvas. This inserts two point variables each marked with a green dot. When a point variable is selected the dot turns into a small square.

Features

  • Constraint support. The user may express dependencies between the various points of a drawing, such as the distance from one endpoint of a line segment to the other, the angle at vertex of a triangle, horizontal alignment of a point relatively to another point. (Mathematically speaking, these points are point variables since they may take different values (or positions) at different times.) Drawmetry automatically repositions any point variables so that the constraints are satisfied at all times.

Introduction

Drawmetry is a drawing application for creating vector graphics. The saved file format is readable by any application that supports SVG, which includes most web browsers (Internet Explorer, though, requires a plugin) and some other drawing applications such as Inkscape and Visio.
