libwmf is a library to parse and convert WMF graphic files into
other formats. Currently, there exist drivers for PNG, EPS, SVG
(the XML-based W3C format), FIG, Magick, and others. The library
is actively under development as part of the wvWare project, to
convert WMF graphics embedded in Microsoft file formats into a form
viewable from a web-browser.
dumpmpeg is a simple program that allows you to dump frames from
mpeg movies. Future features might include dumping of the audio
as well.

Enjoympeg is a MPEG-1 video player based on the source
of plaympeg from the SMPEG library. It has a hideable
control bar which allows you to play/pause, stop, seek
and switch to fullscreen mode.

KuickShow is an image browser/viewer with a nice filebrowser to select
images to be shown, slideshow support and the ability to display the
following image formats: jpg, gif, tiff, png, bmp, psd, xpm, xbm, pbm
and eim.

The GLE Tubing and Extrusion Library is a graphics application
programming interface (API). The library consists of a number of
"C" language subroutines for drawing tubing and extrusions. It is
a very fast implementation of these shapes, outperforming all other
implementations, most by orders of magnitude. The library is
distributed in source code form, in a package that includes
documentation, a VRML proposal, Makefiles, and full source code and
header files. It uses the OpenGL (TM) programming API to perform
the actual drawing of the tubing and extrusions.
GLE is designed for and maintained on the Linux operating system,
and is known to run on other Unix operating systems such as AIX,
IRIX, Ultrix and HPUX with OpenGL or Mesa. GLE is also known to run
on IBM OS/2 Warp, Apple Macintosh OS9, and Microsoft Windows NT and
has been used to develop screen-savers for some of these popular
PC operating systems.

The OpenGL Utility Toolkit, a window system independent toolkit for
writing OpenGL programs. It implements a simple windowing application
programming interface (API) for OpenGL. GLUT is designed for
constructing small to medium sized OpenGL programs. While GLUT is
well-suited to learning OpenGL and developing simple OpenGL
applications, GLUT is not a full-featured toolkit so large applications
requiring sophisticated user interfaces are better off using native
window system toolkits like Motif.

studio, Blender has proven to be an extremely fast and versatile
design instrument. The software has a personal touch, offering a
unique approach to the world of Three Dimensions. Use Blender to
create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations, business
graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can
easy build and manage complex environments. The renderer is versatile
and extremely fast. All basic animation principles (curves & keys)
are well implemented.

This is a program for representing sounds visually. It goes beyond
the usual oscilliscope style program by combining an FFT and stereo
positioning information to give a two dimensional display. Some of the
shapes I have observed are:
* Drums: clouds of color, fairly high
* Clean guitar: several horizontal lines, low down
* Rough guitar: a cloud, low down
* Trumpet: Lots of horizontal lines everywhere
* Flute: A single horizontal line, low down
* Voice: A vertical line with some internal structure
* Synthesizer: All kinds of weird shapes!

The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing
capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library
supports many file formats, and provides powerful image
processing and graphics capabilities.
