# Graphics and GUIs
Racket provides many libraries for graphics and graphical user
interfaces \(GUIs\):
* The `racket/draw` library provides basic drawing tools, including
drawing contexts such as bitmaps and PostScript files.
See \[missing\] for more information.
* The `racket/gui` library provides GUI widgets such as windows,
buttons, checkboxes, and text fields. The library also includes a
sophisticated and extensible text editor.
See \[missing\] for more information.
* The `pict` library provides a more functional abstraction layer over
`racket/draw`. This layer is especially useful for creating slide
presentations with Slideshow, but it is also useful for creating
images for Scribble documents or other drawing tasks. Pictures created
with the `pict` library can be rendered to any drawing context.
See \[missing\] for more information.
* The `2htdp/image` library is similar to `pict`. It is more streamlined
for pedagogical use, but also slightly more specific to screen and
bitmap drawing.
See `2htdp/image` for more information.
* The `sgl` library provides OpenGL for 3-D graphics. The context for
rendering OpenGL can be a window or bitmap created with `racket/gui`.
See the SGL documentation for more information.
