ANSiMat is a graphical viewer of ANSI art files. It can also be used to convert ANSI (or plain ASCII) files into regular (BMP, TGA, PCX...) graphic files, or into animations (FLC). Altough not initially designed for this, ANSiMat can be successfully used as an ASCII art viewer, or even simple text files viewer. ANSiMat is available for Linux, Windows and DOS. ANSiMat supports also modem emulation speed, therefore it can be used to display ANSI animations.

A command-line tool to download picturs and control still digital cameras based on Sierra Imaging chipset and compatibles (Olympus, Nikon, Epson, Agfa and some others).

GLIMPSE is a image manipulation package, developed for novice users.It supports file formats like BMP,PCX and TGA of various color depth. The striking feature of GLIMPSE is that it requires very less amount of resources, as it can be run even in DOS.

CGUI - a gui lib for multiplatform

3D Graph is a suite of tools designed for a DOS machine. It allows the user to design a 3 dimensional scene using a specially designed editor and render the scene using an optimised renderer. It is no substitute for a commercial ray tracer, but it is far

Here is a c_version of Thomas Bleeker's pnglib 1.0, a free graphy library. His site is https://www.madwizard.org/programming/projects/pnglib Thomas's original code is x86-asm. She(the code) can read and display PNG images in programs, and link without Zlib. With the author's permission, Leisure bamboo translate her to c. So she can be compile by turbo c 2.0, borland c 4.5, visual c 6.0, keil c51 7.5, or others. Some(not all) plainform where she can run, as below: 1)dosbox, see about her in sample.tc2. dpmi.bc4; 2)window, see about her in sample.bc4, dpmi.bc4, sample.vc6; 3)c51's uv2 simulator, see about her in sample.uv2; 4)arm singlechip, that is cino f780 barcode scanner. She can decompress apng(Animated PNG) now, There are some demo file 01.png, 04.png ... 32.png in root folder. She is small(12k for vc6, 32bit code; 21k for bc4, 32bit code; 27k for tc2, 16bit code) and beautiful.

Burn is a small and compact 32x32 256 color image (sprite) editor for Dos (or POSIX, using Dosbox or Dosemu). It currently contains several gfx-effects than can be applied to images, animation features and a tiny scripting language (amongst others).

Kymaera is a open-source Front End for many applications. It was originally designed as a FrontEnd for MAME and other EMU's for use on Arcade Cabinets. The current version of Kymaera 2.0.2 is for Windows and DOS. Linux version coming soon

LDraw utility for creating replacement minifig head .DAT part files with inline POV code for improved renderings in POV-Ray. ML-Cad or your LDraw editor of choise will ignore the inline code and show the parts just as before.

A tool for modifying ATI Radeon BIOS images: chip and memory frequencies, fonts, TV output standard selection, memory timings, etc.

This is an easy graphics library using C++ in windows and was developed in order to provide beginner, novice, expert and advanced C++ programmers for drawing in 2D/3D. We can draw points, lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, rectangles, circles, ellipses, equi-polygons, spiral, pulses, cubes, cones, cylinders, spheres and curves in both XY / R-Theta space using it. Also we can set properties like shifting, scaling, rotation and parameters like size, position of these objects. 

this is a highly advanced open source paint program that has a full gui it runs in msdos a dialup modem sound during saving or loading is normal and can be disabled by removing the "sound()" and "nosound()" calls in the sourcecode

A collection of little C/C++ programs that use the Allegro library for some nice graphic effects (oscilator, fontconverter, textprinting effects, logger, etc). These can also be included in your own Allegro projects.

AllegRT is a 3D engine for making games based on 3D realtime raytracing for realistic results. It is based on and designed to work with Allegro.

Fun, assembler made program to present different kind of transformations for loaded TGA picture. In polish!

Engine_3D is a real-time 3D engine project grabbed from my old data. The entire 3D rendering is pure software: no OpenGL or the like, no 3D graphics card acceleration! And: Engine_3D is completely programmed in Ada. Some parts of the 3D engine, like the animated bump mapping, are still waiting to be ported to my newer 3D project, GLOBE_3D !... DOS and Linux versions available. Remarks for the DOS version: It is also a funny example of a game system almost fully in Ada, including sound driver, graphics driver, keyboard driver. The only things not in Ada there are the file system (MS-DOS), the 32-bit DOS extender (CWSDPMI) and the mouse driver. For running, I recommend DOSBox. For building from sources, you'll need the DJGPP compiler, which contains a version of GNAT - seems to be still updated as in June 2016 ! Mirror: https://github.com/zertovitch/engine-3d

This little tool reads various GO-formats (starting with SGF-parser) and will write a POV (Persistance of Vision) - file. The file can be rendered using POV, so the resulting image will be a high-res raytraced go-board.

Graph.h is a graphics library for ModeX graphics in TurboC. ModeX is a 320x240 screen mode with 256 indexed colors out of 262,000. There are four graphics pages available. Must use in TurboC and in DOS. main.exe demonstrates graph.h's abilities.
