After years of experience in computer graphics projects, GIworks workgroup at University of Oviedo came to the conclusion that some multipurpose graphics tools were an absolute necessity to perform rapid development on computer graphics.Such tools should provide basic facilities and should be easily adaptable to the kind of application on development to avoid starting from scratch every time a computer graphics project begins, allowing developers to concentrate on their project specific characteristics.In an initial stage this tools would only consist on a multiplatform 2D and 3D visualization environment -which would provide methods to load and manage images and geometry-and an advanced digital image processing library -independent of but integrated into the environment like a plug-in-.This work methodology would be applied to whatever was developed in the future so this new code could be loaded in a transparent way and could modify the main tool so that the final look and feel for the user was a closed and coherent application.
