The features of CorelDraw began with a node edit tool, a tool that was able to operate in a variety of ways when applied in different types of objects, then there is fit text that leads to path, then the stroke before fill characteristic, that is followed by quick fill stroke color choice palettes then the perspectives projection feature as well as mesh fill, in addition to the complex gradient color fills (Bain and Bouton 2008). The software also incorporated the font manager as well as many other forms of software, which were included in the different versions of the CorelDraw software (Bain and Bouton 2008).ĬorelDraw has evolved in its features to assume the current state of a vector based illustration.
The operational features rendered the CorelDraw software a pioneer graphics suite, with the potential of using vector graphics software in carrying out photo editing. This inclusion process lead to the CorelDraw having more operational features, whereby the CorelDraw program managed to become a more sophisticated illustration program that had the potential of applying the features of system installed forms of outline fonts with minimal assistance from the other kinds of software programs like Adobe Type Manager. The face of CorelDraw changed at the time when TrueType was incorporated in the development of a more advanced Windows 3.1. Later on, CorelDraw 3.0 was developed when Windows 3.1 was released by Microsoft Company. In the CorelDraw software’s development history, there has been the development of CorelDraw 1.x and 2x that was used in Windows 2.x as well as 3.0. The Corel software was later released in 1989, when the program under which the software was developed from received positive market response. The history of CorelDraw can be traced to the periods of 1980s, when in 1987 Corel company designed a vector based illustration form of program, which was meant to match up with the developments which were taking place in the designing of the desktop publishing systems. The initial versions of Corel were phased out since they tended to be slow in their operations, and also recorded low levels of sales at the market place, leading to their modifications to form the current CorelDraw.
CorelDraw was initially designed to serve in Microsoft windows, and as of now it is used in Windows XP as well as Windows Vista. CorelDraw has been developed under the product brands of Corel’s Graphics Suite, and it is the most recent version that is also referred to as X4, released to the market place early in the year 2008. This research paper seeks to illustrate differences that exist between CorelDraw and Ms Paint, in terms of their features and applications.ĬorelDraw as defined in (Bain and Bouton 2008) is a kind of vector graphic editor, which was developed as well as marketed by a company called Corel Corporation.
