pstoedit is a tool converting PostScript and PDF files into various other formats suported by different drawing editors. As a prerequesite it needs GhostScript to be installed (binary installation is sufficient).

Create the vector tiles on your home machine or using a cloud CPU. Upload the file to your site or app. And that's it. No database to maintain; no contract to pay; and no restriction on commercial use. tilemaker is a single executable that takes OpenStreetMap data and makes it into vector tiles. It's supremely customizable, but if you just want off-the-shelf tiles in a standard style, tilemaker comes bundled with the files to do that too. With tilemaker, you can pull out any facet of OpenStreetMap's rich data. Make a walking map, a city map, a National Park map, and a cycling map. Use the Lua scripting language to select OSM tags and encode them into vector tile values. Or just use the pre-prepared scripts shipped with tilemaker.

AutoREALM is a free role-playing game mapping program originally made by Andrew Gryc. This program is an excellent mapping program that can design castles, caves, cities, dungeons and more. New developers are more than welcome! Previously, development were using Delphi language. Some attempts to rewrite it in other languages were done, but currently (since January 2012) there is an attempt or rewrite using those technologies: _ C++11 _ wxWidgets 2.9 (will be 3.0 when it will be released) _ openGL _ pluma framework (a fixed version located on bitbucket) The design of the actual C++ code-base primarily targets clean source code and high modularity of source code, to allow easy reuse of the code and fast learning for people who might join the effort. Current development is located on https://bitbucket.org/bmorel/autorealm . Howerver, older repositories are still here in case someone would like to consult them, and to allow easy access to algorithms they might contain.

Sailcut CAD is a sail design and plotting software. It allows you to design and visualise your own sail and compute the accurate development of all panels in flat sheets.

A graphical tool for designing finite state machines and exporting them to Hardware Description Languages, such as VHDL, AHDL, Verilog, or Ragel/SMC files for C, C++, Objective-C, Java, Python, PHP, Perl, Lua code generation.

Kage Studio is a vector-based 2D Animation multi-platform Software for Windows, Mac OS, and Debian/Ubuntu GNU/Linux suitable for beginners, hobbyists, and soon even professionals. Written with GTKmm 3.0, Kage Studio has a clean User Interface. Truly an Animation Software, not an airplane cockpit. Kage Studio can export animation to HTML5 (canvas), PNG sequence, Spritesheet, SVG, video (MP4, MKV, OGV, AVI, MOV), and KonsolScript.

Allow to design a guitar rosette. Run on MacOSX, Window, and Linux. Written in C++ Qt4

A parametric, feature-based, sketch-driven 3D CAD application, built around a geometrical constraint solving engine. Project is in early development stage. The FreeSG library (http://freesg.org/) is required.

Ipe is an extensible drawing editor for creating figures in PDF and Postscript format. It supports making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX-documents as well as presentations in PDF.

High quality and high performance scalable vector graphic library for C++. Anti-aliasing, alpha-blending, gradients & Gouraud shading, custom processing pipelines, filtered image transforms, affine and perspective tranforms, etc. Note: This project has b

Knotter is a highly configurable interlace designer. Interlace patterns are a kind of design historically used as a decorations in many places and by different cultures, some examples are Celtic knotworks and Islamic interlaces. Knotter aims to allow its user to design such patterns in an intuitive way and to provide easy ways to integrate the result in external general-purpose graphic software. For this purpose, designs created within Knotter can be save in a custom human-readable format and exported as Scalable Vector Graphics and in a wide number of raster image formats.

Agar provides a base GUI framework and a standard set of widgets from which graphical applications can be built which run natively under X11, Windows, MacOS, SDL and others. It takes advantage of texture and GPU acceleration wherever available. Agar can also attach to an existing framebuffer, SDL or OpenGL context and operate as a self-contained window-manager. It includes a standard library of general-purpose widgets, and is also designed to be extended externally. New widgets can be implemented as part of an application or library. Complex user interface elements can be realized often in few lines of code. Agar is also extensible at the low-level. The low-level API is documented such that modular drivers can be written which enable Agar applications to work seamlessly under many platforms graphics systems without any change at the application level.

lib2geom (2Geom in private life) is a library developed for inkscape to provide a robust computational geometry framework. It is not a rendering library, instead concentrating on high level algorithms such as computing arc length.

This path editor is being developed for the finFoil project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/finfoil/). But a lot of care is taken to make this editor as generic as possible so that it can be reused in any Qt/C++ or PyQt project.

ImageStone is a powerful C++ class library for image manipulation. Its features include load, save, display, transformation, and nearly 100 special image effects. It can be used cross platform (includes Windows, Linux, Mac), and especially under windows it can be used as a DIB wrapper class.

Jade is a cross-platform diagram editor built on the Qt framework. It is similar in scope to Microsoft Visio or Gnome dia. It is released under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 and is available for Windows, Linux, and likely any other platform that is supported by the Qt library.

An open sourse program to aid in the coding of patterned parts for the LDRAW library. This program should become an open source 'Quad2Dat' alternative

Class library for performing geometric constructions in 2D and 3D with Postscript output. Easy to learn for C++ programmers. Easy parametrizing of figures.

PLOT_PSXPS provides a set of graphic functions that allows the generation of PostScript files (and runtime viewing with X) from C/C++ programs. A page can contain points, lines, arcs, ellipses, circles, boxes, text, included EPS files and a lot more.

QCAD is an application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams. QCAD works on Windows, Mac OS X and many Linux and Unix Systems.
