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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SVG Graphics Editor written in Java

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.

AlDraw is a program for creating geometrical constructions. Examples of pictures made with it are at https://picasaweb.google.com/apstrinka/Constructions?authuser=0&feat=directlink

The OpenAMF project is a free open-source alternative to Macromedia's Java Flash Remoting. It is as capable of providing application services to Flash MX as Macromedia's proprietary solution. This project began as a Java port of AMF-PHP.

Convey is a real-time, online, multi-user collaboration tool which augments text, graphics, and symbols. Examples of graphics include shapes, mathematical expressions, diagrams, flow charts, and pictures.

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.

Diagnose is a portable vector editor designed for drawing various types of diagrams. It allows to include snippets of the LaTeX code into the diagram.

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.

Java editor for petri nets, based on the ARP analyzer. Exports nets to GIF, JPEG, PNG, PPM, ARP and PNML (XML based) file format. Uses the excellent JHotDraw 5.2 framework.

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.

Facility Composer is a suite of criteria-based building design and modeling tools. The primary objectives are to provide support for 1)creation, specification, and use of design criteria, 2)architectural programming, and 3) spatial layout and design.

A Flash-like movie editor. Uses Java 2D API. Users create and edit animated vector graphics, images, sound. Rich GUI, can export animation. Main page http://gazelle.dev.java.net. This SF site now mirror.
