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

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.

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.

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.

'Editeur SVG' attempts to be a complete SVG graphical editor, written in Java, with an AWT GUI and allowing easy object manipulation including Bezier curves.

SVGrafiX is an open-source editor for the SVG format. SVGrafiX is written in Java and therefore platform-independent.Our main goal is to create an easy-to-use graphical editor, that allows you to create or edit SVG documents.

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.

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.

TouchGraph provides a set of interfaces for graph visualization using force-based layout and focus+context techniques. For now only older code is available, but we are planning to release new versions as well.

DiDraw is a general purpose vector graphics drawing program. It is very easy to use even for novice users and still provides some advanced features. It is written in Java and runs on any platform supporting Java 1.3 or higher.

KGD is intended to be an animation tool for creating simple 2D vector animations.

SVG Graphics Editor written in Java

JoePaint is everyone's drawing and painting software. It is vector based, and written entirely in Java. JoePaint will form the foundation for the Giant Picture Dictionary at www.giantpicturedictionary.com

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.

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.

JDrafting is an open source Java application to create Technical Drawing exercises. This application is inspired by the 'Classical Construction', also known as 'Ruler-and-compass Construction' or 'Compass-and-straightedge construction'. However, another drawing tools can be used. (More info about classical construction: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Compass-and-straightedge_construction) Download examples in 'Files tab' JRE 8+ needed Github: https://github.com/miguelalejandromorenobarrientos/jdrafting Android version (not compatible) https://sourceforge.net/projects/andrafting/

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.

A Java package to read and manipulate graphs in the GXL (Graph eXchange Language) format, as well as providing a GXL graph editor. Note from admin: This project is discontinued, send me a message if you want to take over.

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.

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.

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.
