Vectoroid
Vector graphics for Android.

Vectoroid open source project

What is it ?

Vectoroid is a framework and )engine that gives Android apps advanced drawing functionality and the ability to manipulate them in code. It is NOT an app.

A large part of Vectoroid is open-source, which allows apps to use drawings for animations, apply effects to them, or just about anything you can code.

It is designed with similarities to the google.MapView and android.WebView components, which makes it highly customisable at the UX/Presentation layer.

Features

• Export/Import to SVG.
• Rotate, scale, move, skew path transformations.
• Path auto-smoothing.
• Gradient & bitmap fills.
• Path merging (Union, difference, outline, intersection, XOR).
• Grouping & Layers.
• Undo/redo.
• Multi-touch interface.
• Copy/Paste stack.
• Text and be stretched and scaled by simple hand gestures
• Many shape templates & generators.
• API to use in other applications.

Obviously these examples are *amateur* (sorry), we are currently offering a bounty of 20EUR for each good quality drawing that can be displayed here (see below for how to do it)

It's quite easy to get your bounty.

• Download SuprCards : SuprCards on Android Market
• Make a card : if you want a blank page there is one at the end.
• Send the drawing to feedback@suprcards.com (from the saved cards display) or post it to the suprcards facebook page.
• Acceptance is determined by us,

Third party apps using Vectoroid will be displayed here as they come online.

See the Developers section for instructions on how to use the library.

Vectoroid is free for non-commercial use. Licencing is cheap, and supports further developments (see Licencing)

If you would like to have an app listed in the apps section the send us a link (to feedback at sentinelweb.co.uk), and we will be happy to list it

Clearly we are very excited about this platform, and committed to it. There are potential uses in so many different areas: games, collaboration software, cartooning/animating, customisation and theming, ... just a few we can think of.

We are always eager to hear ideas, there is money available for people who want to contribute in a larger way. Drop us a mail (feedback at sentinelweb.co.uk).

Contributuions can earn discounts/waivers on licencing, if you would like to contribute, you need to sign a release for contributions to be accepted (see Licencing).

If you are interested in porting to another platform then get in Contact.

We are looking for user experience experts and people who can draw well to help refine the drawing process. Drop us a mail (feedback at sentinelweb.co.uk).

Coding expertise in all Android areas especially OpenGL, also HTML5 for cross-platform .

The source for reading writing and displaying drawings is (well, will-be upon release) open-source you are free to use it for non-commercial projects.

For commercial projects a licence can be obtained for a nominal fee (see Licencing).

If you would like to use Vectoroid editing in your app, you need to arrange a licence. Contact Sentinel Web and we will be in touch. We can negotiate a very reasonable licence fee or revenue share that will fit your needs/model (see Licencing).

We are able to provide free licences for non-commercial apps.

Vectoroid saves its data in an open JSON-based file format, so it can be read by the web.

The library code to read, write & render the files is open-source, so drawings can be opened and used in other applications.

The hope is that this will spur a class of drawing based apps that can use or animate the things people draw on their devices.
