Appendix: Graphics Software Took Appendix Objectives: • Provide a comprehensive list of graphics software tools. • Categorize graphics tools according to their applications. Many tools come with multiple functions. We put a primary category name behind a tool name in the alphabetic index, and put a tool name into multiple categories in the categorized index according to its functions. A.I. Graphics Tools Listed by Categories We have no intention of rating any of the tools. Many tools in the same category are not necessarily of the same quality or at the same capacity level. For example, a software tool may be just a simple function of another powerful package, but it may be free. Low4evel Graphics Libraries 1. DirectX/DirectSD - - 248 2. GKS-3D - - - 278 3. Mesa 342 4.
