> Like editing an SVG in notepad instead of Inkscape.

Speaking of which, I would love to have parametric capabilities in Inkscape.

Note that Graphite does _not_ work with a stylus --- in the web version the input is too jerky/disjointed, for the desktop, it won't react to a stylus in any fashion at all (for the Windows version).

I recently stumbled across cuttle.xyz, and it’s a code-based parametric vector editor. I recently did a real world art project in it and LOVED it.

FWIW, the FLOSS CAD program SolveSpace can generate parametric sketches and export them as SVG files (file > export 2d view)

Is there a facility when doing this for controlling colour/fill?

[avhon1]

SolveSpace does have some ability to control the color and fill of areas. It's nowhere near as powerful as Inkscape, but enough to make simple diagrams. The exported SVGs can also be edited in Inkscape.

Nice! (if memory serves, the last time this came up that wasn't possible)
