Mapnik is a Free Toolkit for developing mapping applications. It's
written in C++ and there are Python bindings to facilitate fast-paced
agile development. It can comfortably be used for both desktop and web
development, which was something wanted from the beginning.
Mapnik is about making beautiful maps. It uses the AGG library and
offers world class anti-aliasing rendering with subpixel accuracy for
geographic data. It is written from scratch in modern C++ and doesn't
suffer from design decisions made a decade ago. When it comes to
handling common software tasks such as memory management, filesystem
access, regular expressions, parsing and so on, Mapnik doesn't re-invent
the wheel, but utilizes best of breed industry standard libraries from
boost.org.

loading the processor while you work.
- Basic tools immediately at your hands.
- Parallel editing of multiple images.
- An optional secondary display can be used.
Versatility

Blender is a free and fully functional 3D
modeling/rendering/animation/gaming package.
Aseprite is an open source program to create animated sprites.
Its main features are:
* Sprites are composed by layers & frames (as separated concepts).
* Supported color modes: RGBA, Indexed (palettes up to 256 colors),
and Grayscale.
* Load/save sequence of PNG files and GIF animations
(and FLC, FLI, JPG, BMP, PCX, TGA).
* Export/import animations to/from Sprite Sheets.
* Tiled drawing mode, useful to draw patterns and textures.
* Undo/Redo for every operation.
* Real-time animation preview.
* Multiple editors support.
* Pixel-art specific tools like filled Contour, Polygon, Shading mode, etc.
* Onion skinning
This is a low level console graphics library, originally based on VGAlib 1.2
by Tommy Frandsen. VGAlib supported a number of standard VGA graphics modes,
as well as high resolution/high color modes found on many popular graphics
adapters. As of now, support for many more chipsets had been added.
It supports transparent virtual console switching, that is, you can switch
consoles to and from text and graphics mode consoles using Alt-[Function
Key]. Also, SVGAlib corrects most of VGAlib's textmode corruption behavior
by catching SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGILL, and other fatal signals and ensuring
that a program is running in the currently visible virtual console before
setting a graphics mode.
KolourPaint is a free, easy-to-use paint program for KDE.
It aims to be conceptually simple to understand; providing a level of
functionality targeted towards the average user. It's designed for
daily tasks like:
* painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting";
* image manipulation - editing screenshots and photos, applying effects;
* icon editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency.
It's not an unusable and monolithic program where simple tasks like
drawing lines become nearly impossible. Nor is it so simple that it
lacks essential features like undo/redo.
KPhotoAlbum is a tool for annotating, searching and viewing images
and videos. The annotation is done by telling KPhotoAlbum who is
on the images, where the images were taken and (optionally) adding
descriptions.
KPhotoAlbum is highly optimized for easy annotation of images, so
that it is possible to use it with thousands of images. When the
images have been annotated, you may browse them based on the
annotations (person, location, keywords).
Deegree's WMS is able to render vector data as well as raster data
from different storage formats and deliver it to any client that is
able to perform a HTTP GET or POST request.
