Show HN: Method Draw, an SVG drawing application

  • Credit where it is due: this is a fork of SVG Edit http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/editor/svg-editor.h... which has code that is beyond my mind. I just wish it had a nicer and more usable interface so I forked my own version.

    It builds upon some of the ideas of Bret Victor (hey, who isn't doing it these days?) with a scrubbable interface to manipulate numbers. You can introduce an exact number by double clicking on it.

    Some nice features that might not be obvious:

    * Alt + drag = clone

    * Alt + scroll = zoom

    * Spacebar + drag = pan

    * Shift + Arrow key = move by 10 pixels

    * Drag and drop import of SVG and bitmap files.

    If you want to give it a spin with a really complex SVG file you can open your own or load this example file: http://editor.method.ac/?url=gallardo.svg

    I made the app touch friendly, so you can check it up on your iPad. Some touch specific customizations are in order but it works.
