Open Source Java Vector Graphics Software

LaTeXDraw is a graphical drawing editor for LaTeX. LaTeXDraw can be used to 1) generate PSTricks code; 2) directly create PDF or PS pictures.

A multiplatform vector drawing program with a complete library of electronic symbols. Schematics and drawings are stored in a very compact text format. There is no netlist concept behind the drawings (so no simulation, and this is a choice) but this allows a great graphical flexibility and ease of use, making FidoCadJ the perfect tool for exchange sketches in forum and newsgroup discussions with a few clicks. Drawings can be exported in several graphic formats, such as pdf. Follow the development live on Twitter: https://twitter.com/davbucci

Drawj2d creates technical line drawings using a descriptive language. It writes pdf, svg, eps, emf and dxf vector graphics or png images. It runs on all platforms that run Java. It is inspired by Asymptote but with a tcl-like syntax and 2D only.

TrueType fonts editor. Allows for editing vector-based glyphs

JaxoDraw is a tool to generate Feynman diagrams in a mouse click-and-drag fashion. Graphs can be exported to a variety of graphics formats and arbitrary latex code can be used for labels to produce high-quality publishing-style figures.

Planetiler (pla·nuh·tai·lr, formerly named "Flatmap") is a tool that generates Vector Tiles from geographic data sources like OpenStreetMap. Planetiler aims to be fast and memory-efficient so that you can build a map of the world in a few hours on a single machine without any external tools or database. Vector tiles contain raw point, line, and polygon geometries that clients like MapLibre can use to render custom maps in the browser, native apps, or on a server. Planetiler packages tiles into an MBTiles (SQLite) or PMTiles file that can be served using tools like TileServer GL or Martin or even queried directly from the browser. See awesome-vector-tiles for more projects that work with data in this format. Planetiler works by mapping input elements to vector tile features, flattening them into a big list, and then sorting by tile ID to group them into tiles.

jPicEdt is an extensible internationalized vector-based drawing editor for LaTeX and related packages (TikZ, PsTricks,...), written in Java. It is also a library of reusable high-level graphic primitives.

SVG Graphics Editor written in Java

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.

JHotDraw is a two-dimensional graphics framework for structured drawing editors that is written in Java. It is based on Erich Gamma's JHotDraw, which is copyright 1996, 1997 by IFA Informatik and Erich Gamma.

AlDraw is a program for creating geometrical constructions. Examples of pictures made with it are at https://picasaweb.google.com/apstrinka/Constructions?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Assists the design and editing of 'celtic' style braids. Braid fragments are designed algorithmically , or by hand using Bezier curved ribbons of specified width and easily assembled into patterns. Try it at http://braids.sourceforge.net.

NoteLab is an advanced "digital notebook" specifically designed for tablet computers. With its stroke smoothing, antialiasing, and "smart rendering," NoteLab provides a beautiful and powerful note taking environment on any operating system.

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.

SpiroJ is a simple generator of hypotrochoids and similar roulettes. The basic principle is rolling one circle on another circle - similar to the classic Spirograph toy, but more flexible. It can export drawing to SVG, EPS and AI formats.

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 vector graphics.

AnyWikiDraw is a graphical editor for rapid editing of drawings and diagrams on Wiki pages. Supported file formats: SVG, PNG, JPEG and DRAW. Supported Wikis: MediaWiki, PmWiki and TWiki.

A simple conversion tool from AutoREALM (http://sourceforge.net/projects/autorealm/) native formats (AuR, AuRX planned) into SVG for inclusion in websites.

BTNotes is a Pure-Java notes-taking application for use with a tablet pc or pen input devices like Wacom. You can export pages to PNG or store in binary files.

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.

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.

Convey is a real-time, online, multi-user collaboration tool which augments text, graphics, and symbols. Examples of graphics include shapes, mathematical expressions, diagrams, flow charts, and pictures.

Cusp is a simple 2D spline editing tool for free-form bezier splines or curves calculated by cubic spline interpolation. Its main usage is to create 2D motion paths for simple games.
