Inscape is a vector graphic editor in which You draw simple shapes, color and modify them.
Let’s try out the 2 most useful basic shapes: rectangles and circles.

- Click and drag anywhere on the drawing area to create a rectangle.
- Pick a color to your rectangle from the palette on the bottom.
- To draw perfect squares hold down Ctrl key while drawing the rectangle.
Same goes for the Circle tool: click and drag the same way, and additionally hold down Ctrl key to draw perfect circle. The keyboard shortcut for the Circle tool is F5.
