We present a program suite for the radiative transfer problem solution in axi-symmetrical dusty galaxy disks, intended primarily for spectrophotometric analysis of stellar populations by means of integrated and differential photometry. The solution is obtained using a 2D ray-tracing algorithm at a discrete wavelength set, emphasizing careful treatment of the effects of light scattering by interstellar dust grains. The program has been thoroughly tested and shows the performance and accuracy comparable to or better than other codes currently in use for astrophysical radiative transfer. The program's source code and example model files are available at http://www.astro.lt/~dima/gfe/ .
