Open Source C++ Vector Graphics Software

K-3D is the free (as in freedom) 3d modeling, animation, and rendering system.

Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality 2D animation with fewer people and resources.

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.

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).

AutoREALM is a free role-playing game mapping program originally made by Andrew Gryc.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.

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.

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.

DD Thought Tickler is a thinking process recorder. It is a kind of vector graphics editor and idea processor. It has new function not ever known. It records your thinking process, by memorizing every steps that you've operated on this tool.

Automata editor is a vector editor for drawing finite automata according to VauCanSon-G format with tools for working with finite automata such as basic algorithms, exporting transition table to LaTeX format and automata work simulation.

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.

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.

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.

APTOS is an open source Apt translator project. It consists of several CAM applications, based on the Apt programming language. It is used to create control programs for cnc mills, lathes, water jets, lasers, and other industrial equipment.

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.

Please see laidout.org for current code and download location. Laidout is desktop publishing and imposition software for Linux, particularly for multipage, cut and folded booklets, with page sizes that don't even have to be rectangular. Bug reports welcome!

BezierEditor is a Bezier Curve Editor with follow functions :<br> -add/remove curves and points<br> -move points and curves<br> -zoom in/out/box<br> -load and save in a text file<br> -multiple selection<br>

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.

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

D2D Map Editor enables the rapid creation of tile based map grids. It’s easy to learn and can be used by programmers and non-programmers alike. The maps generated can be deployed in games and applications developed in C++, C#, ActionScript and XML.

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.

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.

InkscapePortable is a portable version of Inkscape for use with portable devices on "Microsoft Windows".

QFlash is a c++ open source IDE to create flash (swf) animation files. It uses ming and qt libraries.

Papyrus is a C++ scenegraph (canvas) library that uses cairo/cairomm for drawing operations. This allows papyrus to be used to draw in a Gtk+/Gtkmm widget, or draw to png, pdf and ps surfaces. In concept it is similar to the Gnome canvas or QT canvas.
