WP Clipart 3.0

WP Clipart is a collection of public domain images specifically tailored for use in word processors. The graphics are all in PNG format without transparency. The main impetus for the format of the images was for use in AbiWord -- the "flat" PNGs print and scale exceptionally well in Abi, in contrast to how Abi prints other formats. You can, however, use these graphics effectively with OpenOffice and other word procesors as well. Some of the images were made by me, the vast majority were acquired from several sources all documented on the "Legal" page. One of the large sources was OpenClipart - from which the SVGs were converted using RSVG and scaled to proportions more appropriate for word processors, as opposed to much larger sizes you would expect for clipart to be further edited in a graphics program. As mentioned above, transparency was eliminated (avoided many printing problems.) Many clips from other sources had their density and saturation levels adjusted to what would print well on a typical home/small business inkjet -- openning up the midtones and eliminating large areas of shadow to prevent blocking . . . Another advantage of scaling down the image sizes is the smaller download size. Ibiblio graciously hosts the files I display on these pages. There is a compressed package of all the clipart that weights in at about 79MB. See "Download" for details. Above all else these images, illustrations and photos are Public Domain. Use them for private use, for commercial use -- without any restrictions whatsoever. Attrribution is not required. Links are not required. They are truly free. But please, if used online, upload them to your own site and dont link from here. If my server is overwhelmed you will ruin this for others. But on the positive side, if you would like to add something I would be more than happy to post a "new clips page" with shout-outs to the good folks who help to increase the diversity and quality of this collection. Whats New in This Release: - Multilingual menus were introduced. - The default is English with options for French, Spanish, and German. - The total number of clipart pieces is now 17,471. - The zip file contains all clipart, a viewer/editor for use on Linux, and a Windows executable for the viewer..
