This section lists Haiku applications that allow the user to create, edit, manipulate and view graphics and animations.
Graphics A
Album
An image viewer/organiser designed for BeOS-compatible systems
Album is a file browsing and tagging utility for BeOS/Haiku. The idea is to have a work pad for pictures from different locations so they may be viewed and tagged. The program is not limited to pictures and BFS (Be File System) volumes, although that makes most sense since some of the functionality has to do with file attributes.

BGhostview
A port of KGhostview for X11/KDE
This is technically a port of KGhostview for X11/KDE. However I had to rewrite most of it, so only the basic architecture and the ps-parser remain as in the original. Thanks to Tim Theisen and Mark Donohoe for the original works. I'd also like to thank Jake Hamby, whose port of Ghostscript and helpful advice made this port possible..
