Google Docs, the free office suite from Google, has added the ability to add vector drawings to your documents.

In what feels like a never-ending stream of updates to their products of late, Google Docs is now letting you add your own vector drawings to your documents. For those unfamiliar with vectors, those are images that can be maniulated for resizing without losing their proportions.

The new feature will allow you to choose from a selection of preset shapes and images that you can rotate, resize and adjust.  If you don’t find anything that fits your needs you can create a brand new image by using their drawing tools using lines, free hand scribbles and text labels.  You can also do things such as changing line widths, doing fill color and from arrowheads to font size.

At the rate Google is adding features to Docs, you really have to start wondering how long it will be before people start wondering why they really are paying for various office suite packages.  If you want to give this latest feature a try, just go to “Insert” and click on “Drawing”.
