Abstract  Based on the geometric model of involute tooth profile, the geometric design software for gears was developed on the platform of Windows. The software was written in C programming language, including open source programs and libraries such as gnuplot and CxImage. Many geometric modeling approaches for gears were proposed. Gnuplot had been regarded as the module of graphical output in many application software, in which the proposed approaches were used. For the implementation of the calculation module, the curve parameter equations for tooth profile were proposed. The module of computing kernel was written in C language. Gnuplot was the kernel of data visualization module. Data was transmitted by plain text and commands through pipes. The process of windows was established on the the method of Windows Application Programming Interface (API). Graphical User Interface (GUI) had been used in the software. The display problem of png format pictures was solved by using CxImage library in stand of picture control. Modern computer program design technique is involved in traditional mechanical design theory. Drawing on the experience of many open source software and function libraries, the aided machinery design software promotes the efficiency and level of design.
