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

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.

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.

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.

This project provides a library of easy to use 2D graphics editor tools and a functional and extendable stand-alone graphics editor.

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.

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.

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.

The JGenerator is the web server production application that can dynamically combine text, graphics, and sound to build rich Flash content. The JGenerator is a free alternative to and analog of the Macromedia Generator.

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.

JCad is a project to create a fully function 2D CAD program written entirely in Java. It\\\'s Purpose is to create a cross platform smart 2D CAD program with Java2D/Swing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The X3DV Module Suite is a free set of Netbeans modules to code in X3D and VRML, the open standards for interactive and immersive 3D on Internet. With it, you can create virtual worlds in 3D, using the great edition features of Netbeans. This project is not developed since years ago, so you may need to do something to update from Netbeans 6 to modern Netbeans, or use an old version with it. I am in the process of reviewing it and fix it.
