JavaScript or PHP based WYSIWYG vector based image editor

Question

For a PHP based site of a client, I'm looking for a vector based image editor that allows:

• end user creation of vectored images consisting of objects
• supports upload of bitmap images to be used as objects inside the vector image
• supports adding text objects to add to the vector image, and change properties (font name, font style, font size) of the text objects
• preferably supports layering or grouping of objects inside the vector image
• integrates nicely with a PHP based site (so a PHP or JavaScript library is preferred)
• can store the vector image in SVG, EPS or PDF

Both commercial and FOSS solutions are OK.

Any idea where to find such a library?

Answer 1

I've done some crawling for such tools as well in Open Source.

I've found pieces, with some extra efforts you can maybe make some glue or recode with inspiration:

Nice 'imprecise-line-drawing' editor, but fonts are handed via ajax calls: http://zwibbler.com/ (png/pdf/svg save)

A library to handle fonts in javascript, need some work to really use it as an external lib http://typeface.neocracy.org/ and check http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ & http://www.netzgesta.de/dev/text/ as well.

According to Wikipedia, SVG-edit is one.
