GNU InklingReader

GNU InklingReader is an attempt to create a GNU/Linux-friendly version of the Wacom Inkling SketchManager. Instead of integrating with proprietary programs, this program aims to be compatible with free software alternatives like Inkscape.

The program can:

• Display WPI files
• Merge WPI files (command-line only)
• Export to Inkscape SVG (preserving layers), PDF, PNG and JSON
• Convert all WPI files in a directory to SVG
• Automatically use different colors when the "new layer" is pressed multiple times.
• Give control over stroke pressure.
• Export timing information in JSON.
• Interact with the timeline of your drawing

Downloading InklingReader

Currently, version 0.8 is available as a test release.

Documentation

Unfortunately the documentation is not (yet) ready. The program should be pretty straightforward to use. The documentation is in progress.
