MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it. MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting.

This module implement a interesting graph application that is called the 'Social Relation Map'. It provides object-oriented way to retrieve many social information that can be found in this map. The new() constructor accepts one argument in the for of 'hashref of arrayref'. The key to this hash is the name of relation, and the value of the hash is a list of identities involved in this relation.

This Perl extension aims to cut down the size of PNGs. Users pass a PNG to various functions (though only one presently exists - Image::Pngslimmer::discard_noncritical($blob)) and a slimmer version is returned. Image::Pngslimmer is designed for use where PNGs are being generated on the fly and where size matters - eg for J2ME use. There are other options - probably better ones - for handling static PNGs. and more image types.

Perl bindings for the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) Project. This module allows you to access SANE-compatible scanners in a Perlish and object-oriented way, freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining very close in spirit to original API. The Sane module allows a Perl developer to use SANE-compatible scanners. Find out more about SANE at http://www.sane-project.org.

Pixie is a RenderMan like photorealistic renderer. It is being developed in the hope that it will be useful for graphics research and for people who can not afford a commercial renderer. Some of supported features: * All RenderMan 3.4 primitives * Programmable shading (RenderMan Shading Language) * High quality texture/shadow/environment mapping * High dynamic range input/output * Raytracing * Motion blur * Depth of field * Reyes style rendering (very fast) * Occlusion culling * Area light sources * Network parallel rendering * DSO shaders * Global illumination * Photon mapping

potrace is a Peter Selinger's GPLed utility for tracing bitmaps - converting them into smooth, scalable images. It accepts as input a bitmap B/W images (PBM, PGM, PPM and BMP formats), and returns encapsulated PostScript (EPS) as the default output. Other output format are available: PS, SVG, Xfig, PGM, PDF and experimental GimpPath. You can create scalable images from scans, such as logos, hand taken notes, etc. The resulting smooth images can then be rendered at any resolution.

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.

Idea and purpose of this program is the calculation of three-dimensional fractals. The calculated objects are twisted, freely in space floating (and - of course - fractal) "lumps" which look like made of dough - in contrast to what is normally called "three-dimensional" fractals (namely a simple reinterpretation of the two-dimensional data). Generation of a really three dimensional view is possible (3d stereo). The fractal can be seen three dimensional without any utilities like 3d glasses.

Graphite is a project under development within SIL'ss Non-Roman Script Initiative and Language Software Development groups to provide rendering capabilities for complex non-Roman writing systems. The original goal was a system for the Windows platform; the system has also been ported to Linux. Graphite can be used to create "smart fonts" capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. With respect to the Text Encoding Model, Graphite handles the "Rendering" aspect of writing system implementation.
