## How to get `idraw`

The `idraw` utility mentioned several times in this documentation is a freely distributable interactive drawing editor for the X Window System. It may be used to edit the output of `graph -T ps`, or, in general, the output of any application that uses the Postscript Plotter support contained in `libplot`.

The current version of `idraw` is maintained by Vectaport, Inc., and is available at their Web site. It is part of the `ivtools` package, which is a framework for building custom drawing editors. `idraw` was originally part of the `InterViews` package, developed by Stanford University and Silicon Graphics. The `InterViews` package is available at a distribution site but is no longer supported. Retrieving the `ivtools` package instead is recommended.

Also available at Vectaport's Web site is an enhanced version of `idraw` called `drawtool`. `drawtool` can import bitmapped graphics in TIFF and PBM/PGM/PPM formats, as well as in the X11 bitmap format that `idraw` can import.
