Origami Diagramming #1 - Inkscape basics (squares, lines, arrows, commands, tools)

This is my first tutorial on origami diagramming using Inkscape. In this tutorial you'll learn the basics: some tools, commands, drawing the square, creases and arrows.

Inkscape is a free open source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Even if you're using these other softwares, this tutorial should be useful too.

I'm using Inkscape 0.48
