HERMES, named after the messenger of the gods, is a library whose
only purpose is to convert graphic data from one pixel format to another in
the fastest possible way.
HERMES will also do surface clearing. And it will do it FAST (even with
x86 and MMX routines if you're on those platforms).
IPA stands for Image Processing Algorithms and represents the library of
image processing operators and functions. IPA is based on the Prima toolkit,
which in turn is a perl-based graphic library. IPA is designed for solving
image analysis and object recognition tasks with perl.
libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels,
so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is
not unlike the famous AAlib library, with the following improvements:
* Unicode support
* 2048 available colours (some devices can only handle 16)
* dithering of colour images
* advanced text canvas operations (blitting, rotations)
Inkscape seeks to become a full featured open source SVG editor.
Derived from the highly popular Sodipodi codebase, Inkscape strives
to build full XML, SVG, and CSS2 compliance.
Features include alpha blending, node editing, svg-to-png export,
and more. Project aims for capabilities similar to Illustrator,
CorelDraw, Visio, etc.
The libmng library supports decoding, displaying, encoding, and various other
manipulations of Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) format image files. It
uses the zlib(3) compression library, and optionally the JPEG library by the
Independant JPEG Group (IJG) and/or lcms (little CMS), a color-management
library by Marti Maria Saguar.

The traitsui project contains a toolkit-independent GUI abstraction
layer, which is used to support the "visualization" features of the
Traits package. Thus, you can write code in terms of the Traits
API (views, items, editors, etc.), and let traitsui and your selected
toolkit and back-end take care of the details of displaying them.
The following GUI backends are supported:
* wxPython
* PyQt
* PySide
Auto Adjust Photo is a tiny command-line image manipulation tool for
automatic color correction of photos. It tries to make the picture look
better. The program does this by analyzing the input image and then sets
the most optimal contrast, gamma, color balance and saturation for it.
This program generates images from mathematical functions, draws them on the
SVGAlib screen, and cycles the palette. The images are intended to have a
hypnotic effect.
After exiting the program, you must switch consoles before the display will be
usable again.
GNOME Colorscheme is a color scheme builder for the GNOME desktop. It is
useful for web creation as well as room painting. It supports 6 various
types of color schemes: Complements, Split Complements, Triads, Tetrads,
Analogous, and Monochromatic.
The user can lighten/darken the whole colorscheme or increase/decrease
its saturation.
Mandelbulber is an experimental application that helps to make
rendering 3D Mandelbrot fractals much more accessible. A few of the
supported 3D fractals: Mandelbulb, Mandelbox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb,
Menger Sponge, Quaternion, Trigonometric, Hypercomplex, and Iterated
Function Systems (IFS). All of these can be combined into infinite
variations with the ability to hybridize different formulas together.
