Graphite is an in-development raster and vector 2D graphics editor that is free

and open source. It will be powered by a node graph compositing engine that

supercharges your layer stack, providing a completely non-destructive editing

experience.

With the completion of the node graph UX design, work has begun building the

frontend and backend systems for the big leap to node-driven vector editing.

This works by composing groups of Rust functions together at runtime and/or

compile time. [Watch the (brief) talk][graphite-gamedev-nodes-talk] about how

the backend implementation works around challenges imposed by Rust.

New editor features this month include importing bitmap image layers and

customizing stroke styling with dashed lines and rounded or beveled corners.

The [project website][graphite-website] is also now mostly content-complete,

including new node graph mockups.
