Graphite is an open-source graphics editor still in its alpha stage, offering a unique workflow that allows for completely nondestructive editing by merging a layer-based compositing system with a procedural design engine that utilizes nodes. Originally designed as a vector editing tool, Graphite has expanded into a comprehensive graphics suite that resembles a game engine more than a conventional creative software application, integrating its Rust-based Graphene core with accessible tools for a variety of creative tasks including vector graphics, raster image manipulation, animation, layout design, motion graphics, and visual effects compositing. Its innovative editing structure features a continuous node graph, which facilitates limitless scalability for effects like boolean operations, procedural patterns, and fractals, all while providing artists with user-friendly layer stacks and node-driven layers. As of now, Graphite is available as a lightweight offline web application, enabling non-destructive workflows suitable for technical illustrations, magazine layouts, and generative art projects, thereby catering to a diverse range of creative needs. This versatility makes Graphite an exciting addition to the toolkit of any digital artist or designer.
