Maybe you have used Inkscape before. It's a remarkable tool for creating vector graphics.
Sometimes it would be helpful to have a library with predefined images for all kinds of purposes (eg. arrows, symbols for schematics, fighter aircrafts, origami folding,...). An older program that is less frequently used to today, but comes with a nice library is Xfig.
Xfig has it's own file format which is a little unhandy. The following script can be used to convert the entire Xfig clipart library to .svg files. It works under Ubuntu. The package transfig is required for the conversion.
This blog is supposed to be a collection of random, unrelated, little ideas, thoughts, and discoveries, which I assume to be helpful to a negligible part of the world's population and wish to share out of pure altruism. If posts appear really weird, maybe you have the wrong kind of humor. Many of the posts are science/technology related. If you are opposed to that, stop reading here! Comments, criticism, corrections, amendments, questions are always welcome.
