Open Source Java Vector Graphics Software

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.

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.

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.

TrueType fonts editor. Allows for editing vector-based glyphs

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.

Jarnal is a plattform-indepenent programm written in Java for notetaking, sketching and PDF-/picture-annotating. It works like a normal notepad with the difference of being digital. It is thought to be used with a stylus on tablet-pcs.

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.

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.

SVG Graphics Editor written in Java

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.

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.

This is a simple drawing application written in Java. It generates animated SWF Files, which redraws everything you have drawn with the mouse in the editor.

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.

The JGenerator is the web server production application that can dynamically combine text, graphics, and sound to build rich Flash content. The JGenerator is a free alternative to and analog of the Macromedia Generator.

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.

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.

Debrief is an Open Source Java application used for viewing maritime vessel tracks in 2 and 3 dimensions. Tracks are read in using a number of flat-file ASCII formats, including AUTEC (RAO), PMRF and AFWTF.

GlyphEdit is a vector oriented drawing application written entirely in Java. It feautures an AA graphics renderer of own design and a set of custum GUI elements (buttons, panels) that resemble the look of Apple Mac OS X.

JCad is a project to create a fully function 2D CAD program written entirely in Java. It\\\'s Purpose is to create a cross platform smart 2D CAD program with Java2D/Swing.

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.

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.

Filtered is a cross-platform tool for editing SVG filters. Filtered is written in Java and released under BSD license. It uses Apache Batik for SVG rendering. There are installers for windows and Mac OSX, and a Java JAR package for other platforms. Filtered is targeted for visual editing of SVG filters, and doesn't provide general vector drawing capabilities. It is meant to be used as a companion for a vector editing package, to allow better control over SVG filter creation and editing. Filtered can be used for creating all kinds of image filters, from simple drop shadows and glows to complex synthetic texture creation.
