'''MacDraw''' is a discontinued [[vector graphics]] drawing [[application software|application]] released along with the first [[Apple Macintosh]] systems in 1984. MacDraw was one of the first [[WYSIWYG]] drawing programs that could be used in collaboration with [[MacWrite]].  It was eventually adapted by [[Claris]] and, in the early 1990s, MacDraw Pro was released with color support.
MacDraw was the vector-based cousin of [[MacPaint]].

In the preface of the third edition of ''[[Introduction to Algorithms]]'', the authors make an emphatic plea for the creation of an OS X-compatible version of MacDraw Pro.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i-bUBQAAQBAJ&q=introduction+to+algorithms+macdraw&pg=PR18|title=Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition. 3rd ed.|last1=Cormen|first1=Thomas H.|last2=Leiserson|first2=Charles E.|last3=Rivest|first3=Ronald L.|last4=Stein|first4=Clifford|publisher=[[MIT Press]]|year=2009|isbn=978-0-262-03384-8|page=xviii|authorlink3=Ron Rivest}}</ref>
