<P>Skencil is an interactive, object oriented drawing program. This means
that the drawing is composed of objects like rectangles, lines or pieces
of text. Skencil allows you to manipulate the objects by moving them
around, resizing them or changing their color, etc.</P>
<P>This type of program is also called a <EM>vector drawing program</EM>
because it stores the objects internally as coordinates. Apart from
Skencil, there are some other (freeware) programs of this type
available, such as xfig or tgif and more recently Sodipodi or Karbon,
just to name a few.</P>
