A Java-based tool for creating, designing and distributing graphical trees that represent syntactic construction of sentences. Useful for drawing trees under X-bar generative theory or any other correlated application.
JDraftPDF is a tablet based PDF annotator and editor. The software allows annotations to be made directly to a PDF file using a tablet and pen. The main application is for annotating document drafts without the need for printing.
x2svg is software to graphically lay out files like XML Schema, DTDs and Java property files as scalable vectorgraphics (SVG). Diagrams can be converted into PDF, PNG, TIF and EPS files directly from within x2svg. A simple GUI and ant integration exist.
Knotwork is a graphical application to create knotworks in a celtic, arabic or viking style. User draws a graph defined by vertices and edges, which gives the basis for building the knotwork. Web page: http://knotwork.sourceforge.net/index.html
Comic book editor is easy to use software to create comics.You can make vector drawings, place them in boxes, put the boxes on pages and add some text balloons. For windows users, there is an easy installer, but the program runs also on mac and linux.
The X3DV Module Suite is a free set of Netbeans modules to code in X3D
The X3DV Module Suite is a free set of Netbeans modules to code in X3D and VRML, the open standards for interactive and immersive 3D on Internet. With it, you can create virtual worlds in 3D, using the great edition features of Netbeans.
This project is not developed since years ago, so you may need to do something to update from Netbeans 6 to modern Netbeans, or use an old version with it. I am in the process of reviewing it and fix it.
Joshi is a program that tries to recognize shapes on an image with a focus on OCR. It converts the image to vectorgraphics (polylines) and then tries to project these on stored vectorgraphics, calculating the best match.
CamSketchpad is a modern recreation of Ivan Sutherland's seminal Sketchpad program. It's a 2D drawing / CAD program with support for geometrical constraints and the inclusion of instances referencing other drawings.
A small but very useful vectorgraphics drawing program. A picture can be drawn by multiple people simultaneously over a network connection. If you know how complicated it is to explain something via instant messaging, you know why you need this tool.
Vector Visuals provides an easy-to-use, object-based API for creating and manipulating Java2D-rendered shapes and images. It features object embedding, dynamic connectors, and multithreaded task support.
J-gramS is a diagram editor that uses Java and SWT. Similar to idraw and xfig it focuses on creating diagrams easily without a complicated user interface. Diagrams produced by J-gramS are saved as SVG or a number of image formats.
Java editor for petri nets, based on the ARP analyzer. Exports nets to GIF, JPEG, PNG, PPM, ARP and PNML (XML based) file format. Uses the excellent JHotDraw 5.2 framework.
The OpenAMF project is a free open-source alternative to Macromedia's Java Flash Remoting.
It is as capable of providing application services to Flash MX as Macromedia's proprietary solution.
This project began as a Java port of AMF-PHP.
j2dcg: Java 2D Computer Graphics and Imaging Framework. This framework is targeted for academic use, to reduce the amount of Java / User Interface coding for assignements targeting both raster and vectorgraphics.
New version of the Doodle project (http://doodle.sf.net). This project is related to Origami (paper folding) diagramming.The goal of this new version is to overcome limitations of the existing Doodle to propose an Integrated Diagramming Environment.
A vector-based graphical editor for generating l-system type fractals visually. Can be used to instantly create line drawings of complex recursive objects like trees and other plants. Will soon support svg export.
Sprite Kinematics Workbench is a tool that allow to create 2D animations by
specifying the motion of image segments. You can give life to a stickman or to anything else your imagination can think of.
