CONT

A graphics editor is a special program that allows the programmer to use the computer keyboard to manipulate a cursor on the screen to draw whatever is needed. Most graphics editors incorporate a number of special commands for frequently used features, such as creating common shapes (lines, boxes, and circles), and changing colors.

CONT

(synthetic-camera software) The application itself typically consists of two subsystems: a graphics editor that enables the viewer to create and manipulate the application model and its visual representation, and an independent set of postprocessing packages that analyze the complete application model.
