sK1

The sK1 software, developed by the sK1 Project, is an advanced vector graphics software designed to cater to the needs of graphic designers, illustrators, advertising agencies, printing companies, and web designers. According to the vendor, it offers a range of features to enhance the design process. These features include support for basic vector graphics primitives such as rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and Bézier curves. Objects can be organized on pages, layers, and groups/containers, and users have the option to choose from solid fill, gradient fill, and pattern fill for graphics primitives. The software supports various colorspaces, including RGB, CMYK, and Grayscale, and provides color management for both color values and raster images. The text engine in sK1 supports multi-language text rendering, adding to its usability for international users.

Additionally, sK1 allows for the easy import and export of different vector graphics, raster image, and color palette file formats, facilitating collaboration and integration with other design tools and platforms. The user interface is built on the wxWidgets toolkit, ensuring cross-platform compatibility with Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. Furthermore, sK1 can be used as a standalone application or as a python package for scripting purposes. The software also includes a JSON-driven MSI builder, WiX.Py, which enables cross-platform MSI package generation. It offers features such as WXS file generation, recursive source folder scanning, localizable installer, OS version check, x64 architecture check, and custom conditions. The color picker tool in sK1 provides an advanced palette editor and supports regular and zoomed color picking. It allows for the import and export of palettes for various graphics applications, offers undo/redo functionality, and enables copying and pasting of colors in hex form. Additionally, sK1 serves as a universal graphics translator through its UniConvertor 2.0 feature. It supports the conversion of various file formats, including vector graphics, raster images, and color palettes, using the SK2 document object model.
