Applications: Graphics
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.
ArtPaint
A native painting and image editing program
ArtPaint is a program for painting and image processing that won a Be's Masters Award in 1998. Since then ArtPaint has improved in leaps and bounds. ArtPaint features a comprehensive set of painting tools, dozens of add-ons and supports layers, blending modes, alpha selections and custom brush settings.
AzPainter

Paint software for editing illustrations and images
AzPainter is a full color painting software for Linux. It’s a lightweight tool with tablet pressure support, and provides basic functions such as selection, layers, filters. The software uses an original graphic toollkit called Mlib. It’s extremely lightweight. Features include:
- Extremely fast and frugal on system resources.
- Optimized user interface designed for efficient painting and drawing workflow.
- Support for 16-bit color images with transparency (RGBA)
- Automatic brush size adjustment that’s dependent on tablet pen pressure.
- Many artistic filters.
- Good range of selection tools.
- Support for many third-party image formats including PSD, PNG, JPG and more.

Becasso
A paint and imaging software
Becasso is a paint and imaging software for Haiku, originally written for BeOS by Sum Software. It features alpha channel support, layering, multi-level undo/redo, add-on architecture for external filters, transformators and generators, an orthogonal user interface, and import/export of numerous file formats.

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..
Blender
3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender’s API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are included in Blender’s future releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process.
Butterfly
A picture browser based on the translators. Butterfly is a picture browser based on the translators for displaying bitmap images. It was inspired by Sea, a DOS picture browser. Its aim is to allow easy and fast browsing of an important number of pictures.
Graphics C

Colors
A color picker like that in Adobe Photoshop
You can easily choose a color and then drag it to the place where you need it: for example the Haiku Desktop, Insite Constructor, any text editor (insert as HTML hex code) and much more ... The Features:
- You can collect up to 10 favorite colors which are restored the next time you start Colors.
- You get a color preview for text (text and background color).
- With an eye-dropper tool you can pick a color from anywhere on your desktop.
Graphics D
digiKam
Professional Photo Management with the Power of Open Source
digiKam is an advanced open-source digital photo management application that runs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. The application provides a comprehensive set of tools for importing, managing, editing, and sharing photos and RAW files.
Drawpile
A collaborative drawing program
Drawpile is a drawing program that lets you share the canvas with other users in real time.
Graphics E

Graphics F
FotoWall
Qt5 tool for creating wallpapers
Fotowall is a desktop APP that lets you create graphical compositions by layering and manipulating photos and pictures, text, live video, wordclouds, and drag&drop content from the internet. All to create a fun graphical composition with the maximum ease of use!
Fritzing

Electronic Design Tool
Fritzing is an open-source electronic design tool focusing on makers, hobbyists, and everyone else interested in getting creative with interactive electronics. Document your electronic sketches, learn from example projects, produce your own PCBs, and share with the community. Fritzing differs from other tools through:
- A real-world breadboard view that is hands-on and easy to understand
- A visual component library including the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, SparkFun parts and many more
- An intuitive user interface, with seamless switching between breadboard, schematic and pcb design
- The lively community on fritzing.org exchanges projects and tips, and there is also a PCB service 'Fritzing Fab' that produces user designs.
