Pixa – the drawing tool

I’m happy to introduce you to Pixa!

Pixa is a drawing program that takes full advantage of WPF. While it looks like a typical raster editor it is actually a vector editor, every stroke you paint on Pixa is actually a Geometry object, this allows you to zoom and resize without affecting the drawing quality.

I have launched a CodePlex project for Pixa, so you can download and play with it or contribute if you wish.

Please take into consideration that Pixa is a “PRE-ALPHA” version and is a long way from stable, I’m releasing it now so I can get feedback and share it with you (if you are interested in the code or your have an artistic soul ;) ).

I will talk in following posts about Pixa’s roadmap, features and explain how I implemented some of the main features.

I will be happy to know what you think.

    I’ve been working on a similar project at http://vectorstudio.com

    Vector studio is more of a traditional vector drawing program where Pixa appears to be doing more of a vector-based paint style application.
