Masks are available: https://www.drama.app/documentation/inspector#opacity-and-ma...

Components are coming in future updates.

PixelCut··on Drama – Draw user interfaces and create interactive prototypes
It supports rotating layers in 3D space, so you can draw things like this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/350311600?background=1#t=0s

It has a very fine-grained transition editor, allowing you to precisely control the animation of individual attributes of individual layers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLxEW8Fzn3xvw3eZX7oH8RcMz...

It can be used to create timeline-based animations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyOvkWLQ7qw

It has Drivers, allowing you to define how some layers should change when attributes of other layers change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDszsz-CG00

And finally, it has built-in version control system with real-time access to entire document history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW4h-v6vaOE

PixelCut··on Simpsons in CSS
We make a drawing app called WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com/) which can import SVG and PSD files and export CSS+HTML or JavaScript+Canvas code. Of course, converting SVG files to CSS is not something you'd generally use it for, but it can be done :-)
PixelCut··on Webdesign tool Macaw raises $275k on Kickstarter, $200k more than original goal
Macaw looks great for generating the CSS and HTML code.

For JavaScript Canvas or SVG code, we make a tool called WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com).

WebCode is a vector drawing app that instantly generates code.

PixelCut··on Schwartz - a shell for Apple's Quartz 2D graphics programming - in Python
Schwartz looks very nice and polished!

We make the exact "reverse" app - PaintCode, which is a drawing app that instantly generates Quartz 2D code (http://www.paintcodeapp.com/).

PixelCut··on Mac apps are harder than iOS apps
Making custom OSX controls is easy with PaintCode (http://www.paintcodeapp.com). It is a vector drawing app that generates Objective-C drawing code.
PixelCut··on Svg.js
Did you try WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com/)? It is a vector drawing app for Mac that instantly generates nice, clean and readable SVG code. You can also choose to generate HTML/CSS and JavaScript/Canvas code from your drawings.
PixelCut··on Getting Started With HTML5 Game Development
We've made WebCode to make HTML5 game development in Canvas a bit easier. It is a vector drawing app that instantly generates JavaScript Canvas code, so you don't have to write it by hand.

We even have a little HTML5 game drawn entirely using JavaScript on our website: http://www.webcodeapp.com/

PixelCut··on Animated line drawing using SVG
Writing drawing code like this by hand is really tedious and even though a lot of vector drawing apps output SVG code, it is usually quite complicated and ugly.

We make a vector drawing app called WebCode that instantly generates nice and readable SVG and JavaScript+Canvas code.

PixelCut··on SVG Workflow for Designers
Our drawing app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) instantly generates nice and readable SVG code from your drawings. It also outputs JavaScript HTML5 Canvas code and HTML+CSS code.
PixelCut··on Introduction to HTML5 Canvas
See: http://www.webcodeapp.com/documentation/beziers#RotatingBezi...

Also, we'll make rotations much more useful in future updates.

PixelCut··on Introduction to HTML5 Canvas
Our app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) is a vector drawing app that instantly generates HTML5 Canvas code. No need to write all of it by hand :-)

PixelCut··on The Future of Adobe Fireworks
Technically, this is entirely possible. We have developer builds which support both kinds of code generators in a single app. We're still considering this.
PixelCut··on The Future of Adobe Fireworks
We just launched WebCode about a month ago (been selling http://www.paintcodeapp.com/ for more than a year). The two apps obviously share a lot of internals. We decided to make WebCode a separate app because it has an entirely different target audience.
PixelCut··on Adobe is going to kill Fireworks
Have you tried PaintCode?
PixelCut··on Adobe is going to kill Fireworks
Our new vector drawing app, WebCode, is a nice replacement for Fireworks: http://www.webcodeapp.com/

It generates CSS, JavaScript+Canvas and SVG code from your drawings in real time and can also import PSD documents.

The generated code works great on both Retina and non-Retina displays. You can even preview how your drawings would look on Retina displays directly in WebCode. It inherited a lot of things from PaintCode (our app for Mac and iOS developers), which makes it very nice for user interface design.

PixelCut··on Animated Vector Icons
There are only 2 text links on the title page that result in download - both links are labeled "Try" and download the demo version. Do you have these in mind?
PixelCut··on Animated Vector Icons
Our app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com) makes creating Canvas-based graphics like these much easier. It is a vector drawing app that instantly generates JavaScript Canvas code.
PixelCut··on Show HN: CodeAutomat - web service for converting SVGs to ObjC. Free today
Here's how it works: when you upload an SVG file, we convert it automatically to Objective-C or C# MonoTouch code. Then, we draw a preview image with the generated code. If you like the result, you can choose to buy the code. Since we've just launched CodeAutomat, the service is free for a limited time.

CodeAutomat is powered by PaintCode, our full-featured vector drawing app that generates code.
