Graphite ([website][graphite-website], [GitHub][graphite-repo],

[Discord][graphite-discord], [Twitter][graphite-twitter]) is a free,

in-development raster and vector 2D graphics editor that will be based around a

Rust-powered node graph compositing engine.

August's [sprint][graphite-sprint-18] focused on Bézier shape editing and layer

transformation improvements.

- Ahead of the curve: Bézier shapes gain support for curve extension and shape

closing using the Pen tool and inserting points along curves with the Path

tool.

- Front and center: Layer origins may be set to control the center of rotation

and scale using the Transform tool.

Meanwhile, design and architecture work on the Graphene node-based programming

language has been well underway. Graphene is the data graph engine that will

replace Graphite's tree-based layer system in the next few sprints and evolve

into a raster-and-vector render engine over time.
