+Ipe is a drawing editor for creating figures in PDF format. It supports
+making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX-documents as well as
+making multi-page PDF presentations.
+
+Ipe's main features are:
+* Entry of text as LaTeX source code. This makes it easy to enter
+ mathematical expressions, and to reuse the LaTeX-macros of the main
+ document. In the display text is displayed as it will appear in the
+ figure.
+* Produces pure PDF, including the text. Ipe converts the LaTeX-source
+ to PDF when the file is saved.
+* It is easy to align objects with respect to each other (for instance,
+ to place a point on the intersection of two lines, or to draw a circle
+ through three given points) using various snapping modes.
+* Users can provide ipelets (Ipe plug-ins) to add functionality to Ipe.
+ This way, Ipe can be extended for each task at hand.
