Vector graphics editor

[MrTAToad]

Does anyone know of a vector graphics editor, along the lines of the XPilot ship editor (ie allow editing within a limited size and everything is mirrored) ?

That's more along the lines of CAD.  I know there are a couple of 2D CAD editors about, but don't remember their names.  However I don't think they fill the requirements you have in brackets.  You may end up having to write your own. 

Anyway the editors I've seen will probably show up if you search for 2D CAD in Google.  They are more complex than the XPilot editors though.

There are quite a few vector graphics programs - unfortunately they are all for general art and not really for what I want.

I dont really want to write my own either

I've found an on-line XPilot ship editor (http://www.j-a-r-n-o.nl/xhome.html).  And the good thing is that it comes with pretty easy to read source code - even though its in Java

Well if it is a graphical program you are looking for, I guess there are quite a few of them in the market. But specifically a vector graphics editor, I don't think there is any as such. Not as I know. But I guess you can always use Photoshop to create the visual effects that you wanted. And the big plus is that Photoshop is powerful enough to be used to complete the task you are talking about.

Dont worry - wrote a program to solve it!

See!  I said you'd probably have to!  Now if only people would listen to me more often....






Then their lives would be much worse than they are now.

Oh, I knew I would have to - just didn't want to

At least with GLBasic, it didn't take long
