Mica Graphics Framework

A complete open-source Widget and 2D graphics toolkit written in Java and first released in 1998. Think of Swing, add 2D CAD graphics, and add sophisticated network layouts and zoomable views... on steroids. Also on GitHub.

Editor Object

An object-oriented graphics library in C++ that supports the easy creation of 2D vector graphics editors, Documentation(1381K). Download(431K).

Portable Graphics Library

The Portable Graphics Library, written in C, that supports hierarchical display lists, a window manager, and very fast graphics on the X Window System, Sun Microsystems's SunView and many PC DOS video modes, Documentation(1349K).

Print Utility

A utility that can be used to snapshot areas of a X Windows screen, view, modify and arrange the resultant images in a preview window, and then print the images in PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript or HP PCL formats. Documentation.
