Pencil
Pencil est un environnement de conception multiplateforme et une application de dessin vectoriel utilisée pour le prototypage d'interface graphique et la création de diagrammes. Il fournit un éditeur basé sur un canevas pour créer des maquettes d'interface utilisateur interactives, des diagrammes d'architecture système et des représentations visuelles évolutives de flux techniques.
L'outil fonctionne comme un éditeur graphique vectoriel qui rend les formes sous forme de chemins mathématiques pour assurer l'évolutivité sur différentes résolutions. Il inclut un moteur de mise en page d'exportation PDF spécifiquement conçu pour convertir les conceptions visuelles basées sur l'écran en documents à mise en page fixe pour l'impression physique et la distribution.
La plateforme couvre une large surface de conception incluant des maquettes d'interface utilisateur visuelles, la création de diagrammes d'architecture système et la création de documentation prête à imprimer. Elle gère des mises en page de projet complexes via un système d'organisation de pages hiérarchique et prend en charge l'utilisation de typographies personnalisées intégrées pour maintenir la cohérence visuelle.
