</div>Writer, Impress and Calc. I doubt LO's vector-drawing functionality is<br>
that relevant in the tablet marketspace, surely there are much better<br>
apps for that?</blockquote><div><br>Draw could be a great vector editor if it made color management better (we have a whiteboard for that, too, by the way [1]).<br><br>That said, I always saw Draw more as a desktop publishing application, as its UI centers around pages, which have little to do in a vector drawing program.<br>
<br>In any case, I hope you reconsider making a Draw port for tablets. I heard Draw shares a lot of code with Impress, and UI-wise, it's very similar to impress as well, so I'm guessing that porting it might not be that painful.<br>

after all vector drawing is a niche, bitmap-based drawing is what the<br>
public in general understands...)<br></blockquote><div><br>You're right -- the general public hasn't warmed up to vector editing yet. I believe the best image editor would merge the features of bitmap and vector editors, in a way similar to Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks.<br>
<br>I don't think there's a good vector editor out there for tablets, certainly not an open-source one. There seem to be more tablet office suites than vector editors.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Base, well, it is rather un-loved even on desktops. Of course, this is<br>
just my opinion/impression... </blockquote><div><br>I agree.<br></div><div><br>[1] <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Color_Handling">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Color_Handling</a><br>
