Make your own drawings with Google Docs

Google Docs Has received support for the split vector graphics.

Google announced yesterday that the company has now made it possible to create drawings in Google Docs.
The drawings can be inserted into text documents, presentations and spreadsheets by using the Insert Drawing.

Draw tool is relatively simple, but makes it possible to draw freehand with different colors, insert lines,
arrows and a number of other 2D shapes that you can change the size to, rotate or move.

Like much other functionality in Google Docs, you can cooperate with another person about the design of a drawing.

The technology that is used, the company derives from Tonic Systems, which Google bought in 2007. It all is based
on the browsers ability to display vector graphics. By default, W3Cs SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), which is
supported by most browsers. In cases where the SVG is not supported, in practice, only Internet Explorer, used
Microsoft's proprietary VML language (Vector Markup Language).

Google promises that it will be added to more Cloud computing-based functionality for use in Google Docs as browsers with
better performance and that these become more widespread.
