I need to annotate some pictures with dimension lines showing angles. Does anyone know if there is a Linux 2D CAD program that will let me load a jpg image and draw dimension lines on it?
why cad? the advantage of cad is, that it is vactor based and thus scalable. if you draw on a jpg then that advantage is lost, because the jpg won't scale. it does make sense if you have a complex drawing and the jpg is a mere texture... but if that is not the case then you might consider gimp to draw the lines. gimp does have some vector plugins to draw lines and angles and stuff, those should be good enough for this. greetings, martin. -- Pike Conference 2003 - Sep 25-27 - http://pike.ida.liu.se/conferences/2003/ -- interested in doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
