A Common Design for Vector Graphics GUI Components
by Mikhail Vladimirov (http://freshmeat.net/~mvladimirov/)
Section: Editorials
Sat, Oct 9th 2004 00:00

There are many GUI components available which can be used to display
vector graphics and animation. Most of them are dedicated to particular
classes of vector images such as graphs, business diagrams, SVG images,
geographic maps, technical drawings, and financial charts. Unfortunately,
it is not yet always possible to find a suitable component for a
particular application which satisfies price, licensing, scalability,
performance, stability, feature availability, and other requirements. And
if one wants to add vector-based visualization to an existing application,
additional requirements of integration ability arise.

Communications :: Fax
Utilities

About: 2fax is a commandline program which converts ASCII files into fax
(tiff) formatted files. It works with Hylafax (Linux) and bgfax
(DOS/Windows). It also uses PCX files for logos and signatures, which can
be overlayed over the ASCII text.

About: ASC is a turn-based strategy game in the tradition of Battle Isle
2/3. It can be played against the computer or against other human players
(either hotseat or by mail).

Changes: A new reaction fire system was added, which allows units to fire
multiple times during a turn. This fundamentally alters and improves the
balance between air units and ground units. The campaign has been
extended, and many maps were updated.

About: AppWrap is a self-organizing Content Management System. All data
managed is input and maintained by users, and the program provides access
and storage. It is designed so that an administrator can easily increase
the scope of data under management. The distribution includes sample
tables and reports for recording and displaying status for project
managers. These examples can be adapted for specific needs, and complete
documentation is included for adding new data sets and custom development.
AppWrap is intended for managing mildly dynamic data without the labor of
hand-coding and managing multiple CGI forms and templates, or the expense
of CRM systems.

Changes: Documentation upgrades were made. Error checking for
configuration variables and meta data values was greatly improved. All
eval statements are checked for errors by testing for $. A new
color-coded severity scheme was added. Integration with existing Web sites
was improved.

About: AudienceConnect is a revenue-generating Python CGI solution for
independent content providers. Requests for dynamic content or content
sets are routed through PayPal. Previews are generated as static HTML for
search engines to harvest. Demo site content is text for e-publishing, but

Information Management
Information Management :: Document Repositories
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models

About: Doodle is a tool that searches your hard drive for files using
pattern matching on meta-data. It extracts meta-data using libextractor
and builds a suffix tree to index the files. The index can then be

information such as ID3 tags.

Changes: This release adds support for 64-bit files, allowing the
database to grow beyond 2 GB. Doodle should now uses less space, in
particular while it builds the index. The search string size is now
bounded to avoid a problem with quadratic complexity for very long search
strings. Options were added to make Doodle more compatible with locate, in
particular it can now search multiple databases and allows the user to
prune paths from the searchlist. A translation of messages to Dutch was
added. This release also fixes various minor bugs.

CCD cameras and telescopes, and implements automatic observation
scripting. Cameras are controlled through a hardware-specific server, to
which gcx connects through a TCP socket. The program can control
telescopes which use the LX200 protocol, and refine pointing by matching
images to the GSC catalog position of stars. It generates FITS files with
comprehensive header information.

Changes: A module for multi-frame transformation coefficient and all-sky
data reduction has been added.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: Glib Binding properties is a system that allows developers to bind
properties of GLib and GTK+ objects (Ada95 bindings are also available).
This makes it possible to synchronize the properties of several objects,

automatically change accordingly. This often eliminates the need to write
callbacks watching for changes of properties. It supports one-way and
mutual bindings and bindings with transformation functions.

Changes: This release adds Ada95 bindings (extending GtkAda). The
bindings with transformation functions have also been tested and
confirmed to work.

shows only one version at a time, making it more WYSIWYG.

Changes: This release fixes a minor screen clearing defect where garbage
was sometimes left on the screen when the file was truncated.

Software Development
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Software Distribution

About: IzPack is a powerful Java installer builder. It is able to create
lightweight and modular installers. You have the choice of the installer
panels you want to use (some can do the same job, so that you can select
the one you prefer), and you even have the choice of the kind of installer
that you want to use. IzPack doesn't use any portion of native code, it is
designed to be fully independent from the operating system that runs it.
It is very easy for the end user with a properly installed JVM to use an
installer made with IzPack, since a single "java -jar installer.jar" will
launch it.

Changes: This is a maintainance release that includes i18n updates and
documentation fixes. It also contains a set of bugfixes, including more
error reporting and more sanity checks.
