The goal of GPS is to provide an adequate working environment for graphic designers and artists to begin to paint and feel comfortable with GIMP from their first use. Later the user will change these settings based on his own workflow preferences and understanding of GIMP.
The combined brushes and presets can be used for many different tasks, including:
* Painting
* Erasing
* Blurring
* Airbrushing
* Inking
* Special Effects

SmillaEnlarger is a small graphical tool ( based on Qt ) to resize, especially magnify bitmaps in high quality. ( The used algorithm is an invention of my own )
FUBAR uses the statistical technique "Kriging" to rescale images with an global geometric pattern, called the variogram.
The image can be infinitely rescaled: the estimates ('o' on the left figure) are calculated from five neighbouring samples of the source image ('+' on the left figure). The image is 'noisy' because each pixel is a realization of the estimated value. In other words, each pixel is a random value with a mean and a variance from the local distribution. By changing the variogram (press 'v') or the variance multiplier, it is possible to control that variance.
Clicking the left mouse button zooms in on the image and right-click zooms the image back out. Press SPACEBAR to accept the current realization as the 'source image' -this will reduce noise at small scales.
PGF is a TeX macro package for generating graphics. It is platform- and format-independent and works together with the most important TeX backend drivers, including pdftex and dvips. It comes with a user-friedly syntax layer called TikZ.

Vis5d+ is intended as a central repository for enhanced versions and development work on Vis5d, a free OpenGL-based volumetric visualization program for scientific datasets in 3+ dimensions. This project started out, with the blessing of the original Vis5d developers, as a conversion of Vis5d's build process to use GNU autoconf and automake. (Inspired by the difficulty of getting Vis5d to compile on the author's LinuxPPC PowerBook.) It quickly became apparent that many other enhancements were possible, and were of wide interest to users. Moreover, a large number of enhanced versions to Vis5d exist that have not been merged into the original Vis5d sources, due to time and resource limitations of the original developers, or to differences of opinion about design directions
Interactive graphic by Rod Lucier. The entires are divided by type of visualization method, and rolling over each 'element' opens an example of the visualization method in question.
Pngcrush is an optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. It can be run from a commandline in an MSDOS window, or from a UNIX or LINUX commandline.
Its main purpose is to reduce the size of the PNG IDAT datastream by trying various compression levels an PNG filter methods. It also can be used to remove unwanted ancillary chunks, or to add certain chunks including gAMA, tRNS, iCCP, and textual chunks.
Graph Visualization
Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic graph drawing has many important applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and in visual interfaces for many other domains.
Graphviz is open source graph visualization software. It has several main graph layout programs. See the gallery for some sample layouts. It also has web and interactive graphical interfaces, and auxiliary tools, libraries, and language bindings.
