Use the Source Editor to view and edit your SVG source code. The Source Editor is tightly integrated with the other major components of Sketsa. While you can create and edit your SVG artwork using the visual design tool provided by Sketsa, Source Editor can be useful to add or edit your SVG artwork which is not implemented by the visual design tool.
The Source Editor toolbar is at the top of the window above the editing pane. The toolbar contains buttons for some of the commands that you can use in the Source Editor. You can hold the cursor over a button to display a description of the command.
