This is a vast area that includes software for computer graphics --- viewing/visualization, manipulation/processing, creation (such as drawing, painting, CAD and raytracing applications), and conversion. What's not covered is the programming interfaces (APIs) to the computer graphics (like OpenGL) which is part of the 'Programming' section. There are several computer graphics software on Linux. However, many of them either have specific scientific application purposes, or have limited functionalities. This is changing, though, as more software (including commercial ones) are going to be ported on Linux. We also hope to see Linux become a great computer graphics platform soon.
