If you need more details on specific points, just ask for them in the comments, and I’ll devote another post to them. This time, I’ll introduce some general methods to automate generation or modification of images of the same kind with Inkscape and a bit of scripting. I have already shown, here on TechRepublic, how to insert interactive vector charts in your Web pages. The most popular Free Software editor for vector graphics is the cross-platform Inkscape.

The reason why, to put it simply, is that such graphics don’t contain low-level lists of colored points (pixels) but computer instructions on how to draw each of their geometric elements. Vector graphics are digital images that, unlike what happens with digital photographs, can be redrawn or rescaled at any size without any loss of quality. For more info, visit our Terms of Use page.
