Opcoders updated its OS X graphics editor to version 1.1 Tuesday, adding five new building blocks aimed at helping Web designers create graphics.

Opcoders describes GraphicDesignerToolbox as a modular synthesizer for computer graphics with 88 building blocks that users can combine to create and edit Web graphics.

The new blocks added in version 1.1 include a Chaos block for generating IFS fractals; a City block for generating procedural cities; a Blendmap block for z-blur effects; a Matrix block for convolution matrix operations; and a Quilt block that generates quilting patters.

GraphicDesignerToolbox costs $40; it runs on OS X 10.4 or later.--
