• Markup inspection: The XML code of the SVG document can be viewed and edited directly in the
Elements panel. • Objects manipulation: General transformations such as moving, rotating, scaling, and skewing can be performed right on the canvas. Gradient and pattern fills can be customized using on-canvas handles. • Shapes: In addition to tools for drawing basic geometric shapes, such as rectangles and ellipses, the program features tools for drawing procedural shapes like cogwheels and crosses. This is done by using a custom namespace to extend the SVG specification. All shapes can be edited directly on the canvas. Additionally, numeric control over size, position, and other aspects of objects is available in the
Geometry panel. • Path drawing tools: The program has dedicated tools for drawing quadratic (2nd order) and cubic (3rd order)
splines, as well as an
Arc tool to draw consecutive arcs in a single
Bézier curve. Text along path is available. • Reusable items: Boxy SVG can save colors, gradients, and patterns in the section of the SVG document so that multiple objects would be able to use the same fill definition and automatically update their look once that definition changes. The same principle applies to more elements like filters, markers, and fonts. • Filters: The program has full support for
SVG filter effects. It ships with a number of predefined filters such as
Drop Shadow or
Hue Rotation. New filters can be created with a graph-based filter designer. • Bitmap tracing: Boxy SVG provides a
Vectorize generator to trace bitmaps into Bézier curves with color fills depending on user-defined
color quantization settings. • Asset libraries: The program allows using fonts from
Google Fonts, clip art and photos from
Pixabay, and color swatches from the online service called Color Hunt. ==See also==
