JGraph Layout Pro is the next generation of Java Graph Layout engine designed for optimal performance with the JGraph core. JGraph Layout Pro project has a flexibility and simple design, enabling you to use circular, tree and force-directed layouts with ease in your JGraph application.
Layout Pro comes with a developers guide and an example applet that demonstrates features such as auto-layout, collapsing/expanding of grouped cells, graph morphing and selective layouting of sub-graphs. Also available is a webstart version.
JGraph Layout Pro provides you with a fully supported layout code base that is actively developed and maintained by the core JGraph development team. Using Layout Pro gives you the added confidence of active bug resolution and developer documentation.
Main features:
- Functionality Pro layouts are designed to use the full set of JGraph features such as partial graph views, grouping, animating graphs as well as all the new optimal API calls available in the JGraph core.
- Documentation and source Layout Pro comes with full source and an up-to-date developers application note.
- Performance Designed from the base up for speed, the Pro layouts make auto-layouting possible on even larger graphs. The Layout Pro tree algorithm is 6-times faster over 25,000 nodes than its JGraph Addons equivalent, even with its additional features, such as support for collapsing tree branches.
- Stability The layout architecture for Layout Pro is based around the principle of complete flexibility. Not only does this help you achieve the functionality you want, also it provides you a solid API designed for stability and minimal changes between new versions. This means less migration effort between releases, so you can confidently upgrade.
- Value Layout Pro represents the best value for money for graph layout software. Combined with the supreme value of the core JGraph library, it makes an unbeatable combination.
Enhancements:
- The functionality for laying out nested groups has been fixed.
- The layout inter-rank spacing calculation in the hierarchical layout has been improved for a more closely spaced result.
- The boundary of the graph now includes edge control points, since it was previously possible to draw a graph where the control points were off the edge of the graph.

Zasio is a graphics calculator for java.

Zasio is my second attempt at writing a graphics calculator for a hand held device that I own. My first was Newtsio which was writen for the Newton. The first program I wrote while I was in college.

At the time I was lugging around a Casio calculator, a Frankland spell checker, paper based calendar, and about a houndred notes jotted down on scraps of paper. To say the least I was in need of a PDA.

My goal was to get a pda and write programs that would allow me to carry just one device. Today, my needs have changed, but I still find it quite nice to have a programable graphics calculator at hand and when I got a Zaurus I just could not resist writing a calculator for it. With that modivation, I started my second calculator.

Usage:

Inputing:

Commands can be inputed into Zasio in three ways, buttons, editor tab, or file. The button layout is set up in such a way to make it easy for users of a Casio calculator (this is really the only thing Zasio shares with Casio).

The second way to input commands is to use the editor tab. In this tab is a large text edit area where you can type very complicated formulas and or programs that you want to executed. When ready, you can execute your commands with the press of the EXE button at the bottom. The third way to input commands is by file. Files can be loaded (and saved) from the edit tab. This allows you to write programs and formulas in an external editor and load them into Zasio.

Buttons:

Buttons fall into three catagories. Buttons that have one use, buttons that have up to three uses, and the F keys. Most of the one use buttons are on the first row under the F keys but a few others are closer to the bottom. These buttons are the shift, ALPHA, EXIT, Menu, Arrow keys, DEL, AC, and the EXE key.

The shift and ALPHA key are used to change the multi use keys into other keys. EXIT we will get into when I explain F keys. Menu is not used at this time as are the left are right arrow keys. The up and down arrow keys are used to recall previous calculations (scroll up or down). The DEL key will remove the last letter from the calculation (its a delete key). AC is the clear button which will clear the text line or the graph screen depending on which is displayed. Finaly EXE is the execute key. That should wrap up the the single use keys.

The majority of the other keys in Zasio are of the second kind. The up to three uses kind. These keys are like most graphic calculator buttons where the buttons have a normal action, a shifted action and an alpha action. Most of these keys are for entering functions (such as sin or sq) and shift just gives you more options so Zasio does not have to have twice the buttons on the screen. Alpha lets you enter in letters and other such charecters needed for variable access.

F keys take a bit more to understand. Some keys when shifted will allow you to access an F menu that you can navigate through the F keys. One example is the MATH menu. Press SHIFT and then MATH and you should notice a change to the F keys. These keys when pressed will either enter the function they represent into the calculation or take you to more choices in the F keys. To go back, use the EXIT key. So in our example, you can press the Num F key and then abs to get the int function in your calculation.

Calculations:

Zasio works the same as most graphic calculators. You enter your formual in and press the execute key. To run a calculation like 2+2 you would need to press the buttons 2, +, 2, and then EXE. The EXE button takes the formula and turns it into a short program which returns 2 as a result.

While this was a very simple formula, even complicated formulas are entered the same way. Take (sin Pi/2)*2. To do this calculation you would press (, sin, shift, Pi, /, 2, ), *, 2, EXE. Calculations can use variables A to Z, radius, and theta to store results from previous calculations. These variables can also be used in other calculations. To do this, simply use the variable name and the equals (=) button like this: A=(sin Pi/2)*2. You would use A like this: cos(A).

Graphing:

Graphing is done by passing forumals to the s.graph() function which contain the variable x (not to confuse with the storage variable X). To graph a simple function like sin x you would enter in s.graph(s.sin(x)). After pressing EXE, Zasio will change to the graph screen to display the rusults of your function.

To get back to the text screen, press the TG. I should point out now that the clear button (AC) only clears the active screen, so pressing it while in the viewing the text screen will not clear out the gragh screen. You can also display graphs in different colors by setting the color you want in the Color F menu.

Big Faceless Java PDF Library 2.11.6 offers users an efficient Java class library for creating PDF documents.

The Big Faceless Java PDF Library is a Java class library for creating PDF documents. The Extended Edition of Big Faceless Java PDF Library offers the ability to create and edit AcroForms, PDFs answer to the HTML form.

Like HTML forms, PDF forms can contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing, along with FDF support and verification for Digital Signatures.
Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption, embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, spot and calibrated color. Advanced text layout engine enables complex HTML styles. It is small, fast, easy to use, and 100% pure Java.

BFO's PDF Library provides unparalleled implementation flexibility and reliability for the developer. It's scalable, thread-safe and extremely fast, having been honed over the years, and runs on any Java platform from the humble PC up to Mainframes.

The API has been designed so you don't need to know the PDF specification in order to create PDF's. We hide as much of the gory details as possible but still give you almost complete control over the PDF itself. Where possible standard Java classes are reused - for example the pages are stored in a java.util.List, which can be manipulated any way you like (so moving pages from one document to another is a breeze). This means an API which is smaller and easier to remember.

Major Features:

1. Transparent Unicode support - create documents in Arabic, Russian or Japanese as easily as English.
2. TrueType and Type1 fonts, with subsetting for smaller files. Great for OCR
3. PDF Encryption, for password-protected documents (40 and 128 bit RC4 or AES)
4. Embed JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF or java.awt.Image images, or add Barcodes directly to the PDF.
5. Use Spot colors, calibrated ICC profiles and other advanced colorspace
6. Add HTML-style Hyperlinks to text or images
7. Process 1000+ words a second with kerning, ligatures, justification and "curly quotes" for legibility.
8. Simplify complex document creation by defining and applying "Styles"
9. Full support for PDF features like bookmarks, compression and document meta-information
10. Non-linear creation of documents - pages can be created and edited in any order
11. PDF Library Extended Edition
    • The extended edition of the Java PDF Library offers additional features:
    • Load and edit existing PDF documents, as templates or merge with others
    • Create and edit interactive Forms, or "AcroForm"
    • Digitally sign documents, or verify existing digital signatures
12. Java PDF Viewer
    • On top of the Extended edition, the Viewer Extension can be used to display PDFs:
    • Swing component for displaying PDF documents
    • Convert PDF to TIFF (or any other bitmap format)
    • Extract and index text and images from PDF documents, including integration with Apache Lucene
    • Print PDF documents, including support for annotations and other PDF features not supported by Java 1.5 printing.
    • Pre-flight new or existing PDFs against PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 or PDF/A-1b.

Enhancements:

• All BFO warning (and debug, if enabled) messages are now logged using log4j if available, or java.util.logging.* if not.
• Large synchronization audit fixed some issues when reading from one PDF in multiple threads, particularly when using the viewer.
• Fixed problem that could result in corruption when repeatedly saving a PDF containing compressed XRef tables and multiple revisions.

Big Faceless Java Graph Library 2.4.1 offers users a Java class library which can create graphs and charts.

The Big Faceless Java Graph Library is a Java class library for creating graphs and charts. It is backed by a full 3D engine, allowing you to create shaded 3D pie, bar, and line graphs as GIF, PDF, PNG, or other image formats.

Big Faceless Java Graph Library features include transparent backgrounds, extensible axes to graph dates, currencies, custom fonts, and spline curve fitting. It is small, fast, and easy to use.

The most useful benefit is the Tag Library interface. This makes embedding graphs in web pages almost trivial - as easy as creating an HTML table, for instance. Most people will embed the graph as a PNG, which means JavaScript can be used to create rollovers and actions, in exactly the same way as an image map. If you prefer a vector image, SVG and Flash can be created by changing one word of your XML.

Major Features:

1. XML and JSP Tag Library interface, for extremely easy integration with web projects
2. Very comprehensive API and Tag documentation with dozens of examples
3. Embed JavaScript in your tags to easily create powerful rollovers
4. Full 3D engine with adjustable light source, produces the most realistic graphs on the market
5. Output to PNG, SVG, Macromedia Flash, PDF or java.awt.Image for use in Applets
6. Graph Dates, Currencies, Percentages, Numbers and Discrete data out of the box, easily extended for total control over the axes
7. Mix Bars, Lines, Candles, Bubbles, all on the same graph
8. Add text, lines or custom markers anywhere on the graph, including axes
9. Use up to four axes on the one graph, including logarithmic axes
10. Plot mathematical functions, data samples and spline curves fitted to data, all on the same graph
11. It's fast plot several 3D graphs a second to PDF

Enhancements:

• Fixed mouseovers relating to to multi-bar series in the tag library
• Fixed build issue bug that was causing a required class to be obfuscated away. This was sometimes causing mouseover issues on the first graph.
