BTW when researching competitive advantage, I noticed Adobe dominated vector graphics, with postscript (and pdf) - apart from Macromedia&#x27;s Flash, which was progressing quickly, including an optionally typed version of Javascript (ActionScript 3.0), with performance comparable to Java.<p>A few months later, boom, Adobe bought Macromdia. Retaining their monopoly? Since then, Flash development strangely languished...<p>Just sayin, keep going, and you may get a call from Adobe M&amp;A.

Impressive. FYI, source is at: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dalboris&#x2F;vpaint" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dalboris&#x2F;vpaint</a>

Working on something kind of similar: - vector graphics&#x2F;drawings created by freehand &#x2F; writing <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;write-live.com&#x2F;d&#x2F;dba21681-8d3f-4fbe-8b4b-e5c1983df934" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;write-live.com&#x2F;d&#x2F;dba21681-8d3f-4fbe-8b4b-e5c1983df934</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;write-live.com&#x2F;d&#x2F;8f9b7846-a7b9-4e5c-b704-dad9aa87d14e" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;write-live.com&#x2F;d&#x2F;8f9b7846-a7b9-4e5c-b704-dad9aa87d14e</a><p>- unlimited* levels of zoom <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.write-live.com&#x2F;WriteliveServer&#x2F;webview.html?d=3483c3de-b329-4af1-97d7-2d7f27d96ad1" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.write-live.com&#x2F;WriteliveServer&#x2F;webview.html?d=34...</a><p>- draw on a tablet, view on tablet &#x2F; web <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;write-live.com&#x2F;d&#x2F;538254c5-7d31-41f2-83bb-bcd0a7cee7ab" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;write-live.com&#x2F;d&#x2F;538254c5-7d31-41f2-83bb-bcd0a7cee7ab</a><p>A bit like if google docs had a baby with OneNote :)<p>Exploring now a possibility to render digital ink via webgl as Canvas poses performance problems for very complex drawings.

It&#x27;s a damn shame that the executable downloads are hosted on SourceForge. I&#x27;d be willing to give it a try, but it&#x27;ll have to wait until I have the time to go through the rigmarole of compiling the source code.

Very impressive tool. Not hard to pick up at all. It builds and runs on Fedora 22 without having to battle with dependencies, which is way easier than I expected :)

Flash actually can do very similar things with their IDE via Object Tweens. And yes in flags you could edit the interpolated frames and &quot;adjust it&quot; However, at least with my experience with flash, the interpolations never did exactly what you wanted, and this tool seems to better predict what is desired.<p>With that said, despite being free I am not sure if VPaint interface is that much better than Flash.

Watching the SIGRAPH video... isn&#x27;t this basically how Flash animation works? Does anyone know the major differences?

Is an API on the roadmap? Before 2.0?

So is this kind of like Flash and Illustrator rolled into one free product?<p>If so that&#x27;s pretty amazing.

When compiling, as specified on Github [1], I get a SIGSEV<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dalboris&#x2F;vpaint#linux" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dalboris&#x2F;vpaint#linux</a>

Version numbering is that 1 is beta. Why are people fine with this but when KDE did a KDE 4.0 with publishing saying don&#x27;t include it with your distro they got killed.<p>P.S. I think all beta should any number people say it is beta and people shouldn&#x27;t get mad about numbering.
