I've recently started my personal wiki to organize my notes and thoughts. I use the wiki program instiki which I believe is the same as the n-lab uses. Instiki can upload svg's. I want to be able to create nice looking pictures of some (not to complicated) geometric objects, e.g. knots, pair of pants, etc. My question is twofold.
-
Do people draw these things using svg format? For example people who do diagram algebra, do you use svg format?
-
If so, what are some good free/open source programs for creating these pictures?

I am a huge fan of the open source program Inkscape. I mostly use it to produce pictures for my papers in the eps format, but its native format is svg.
