# Introduction

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.

This type of program is also called a vector drawing program 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.
