Vector graphics drawing editors

This cluster comprises vector graphics editors spanning desktop, web, and terminal platforms, focused on technical drawings, SVG files, scientific figures, and icon/glyph creation. Dated entries stretch from 2007 to 2026, with sparse early releases and a denser series of launches in the 2020s. FigOne leads on traction with 3 stars, ahead of openbiofigure (2) and vektormaker (0).
