visual report designer business / commercial software for linux

Big Faceless Report Generator 1.1.43 offers you a Java application for converting source documents written in XML to PDF. Big Faceless Report Generator project is a Java application for converting source documents written in XML to PDF.

Built on top of the Big Faceless PDF & Graph Libraries, the Report Generator combines these features and wraps an XML parser around them. Using JSP, ASP, XSL, or similar, creating dynamic PDF documents directly from a database is now as easy as HTML.

BFO's Java Reporting tool provides some of the most comprehensive and advanced XML to PDF conversion on the market.As the XML is based on XHTML and uses CSS the learning curve is drastically reduced - report designers don't have to learn an entirely new grammar, so are up and running quicker.

The "two-stage" system of first generating the XML and then converting it to PDF means you can generate XML with any tool, although JSPs are the natural choice. This means you have access to the full range of Tag Libraries designed for JSP. Database connectivity is all taken care of before the XML conversion begins, so you can use whatever method you prefer to get your information from the backend into XML. The whole process is remarkably simple.

Major Features:

1. HTML-style Tables auto-sized nested tables with full control over padding, margins and borders
2. Use cascading CSS2 stylesheets to control look and feel
3. Create inline graphs and charts with XML, direct from the database
4. Includes a servlet and a servlet filter for simple generation of PDFs from XML or JSP pages.
5. Auto pagination of content with page headers and footers
6. Familiar HTML syntax < a >, < ul >, < p >, < table >, < td > and so on simpler and faster than FOP
7. All the features of the PDF library Unicode support, Encryption, TrueType fonts, Barcodes and more

Enhancements:

• No changes to the Report Generator layer
• Built with PDF library 2.11.6, Graph Library 1.1.6

Requirements:

• Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment
• SAX parser

AIS Parser SDK (Automatic Identification System) is a ship tracking network using VHF transponders. AIS equipped ships are transmitting their positions, destinations, names, cargo types, etc.
You can receive these transmissions using expensive AIS transponders, or receivers such as those available from Milltech Marine, SeaCAS and Y-Tronic. AIS transponders and receivers output the received information as serial data using AIVDM messages. These are described in the IEC 61993-2 specification, but they are very similar to NMEA 0813 messages output by GPS devices.
The AIS Parser SDK parses these packed serial messages into data structures containing all of the AIS information for each message type. It allows you to easily add AIS capabilites to your desktop and web products, saving you valuable development time.
The SDK consists of 3 C files to link into your project; you then pass serial data to the SDK and it returns data structures with all of the information from the message. The AIS message contents are documented by the ITU M.1371 and IEC 62287 specifications. You will need a copy of these to fully understand the data generated by the SDK.
Main features:

- Small memory footprint, suitable for embedded systems
- Python 2.4 module included (v1.1)
- VB6 Compatible .DLL with example Visual Basic Source included (v1.3)
- Delphi
- Fast
- Inexpensive - $199 per project license fee
- Unlimited licenses for $2000
AIS Message Information:
- MMSI number (unique ship identifier)
- Latitude and Longitude in 1/10000 of a minute
- Course
- Speed
- Rate of Turn
- Ship Name and Callsign
- Destination and ETA
- Size of Ship
- Cargo Type
- Draught
- Much more...
Enhancements:
- This version features the addition of a Visual Basic DLL and a Delphi port.
- The VB6 DLL includes a Type Library allowing easy use of the AIS Parser SDK in VB applications.
- Example code is included.
- The Delphi port was donated by a generous user and is not officially supported.

Major Features:

1. Upload and download speed test measurements
2. Connections often have different upload and download speeds, but most bandwidth tests only measure the download speed, providing only half the picture. MySpeed accurately reports both upload and download speeds.
3. Reports bandwidth consistency (QOS), Max Pause and Round Trip Time (RTT)
4. The consistency of download capacity is a critical measure for bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP and multimedia. MySpeed reports Quality of Service measurements of consistent bandwidth delivery. Max Pause, the longest pause recorded during the data download, and RTT are also reported.
5. Highly accurate
6. MySpeed has been carefully engineered and tested to accurately measure connection speeds. See the Broadband Speed Tester Benchmarks article.
7. Can be combined with scripting for customized implementations
8. MySpeed has the ability to call a JavaScript function when a speed test completes, enabling you to do most anything with the test results via JavaScript scripting, such as the options below. Try the live demo.
9. Dynamically changing the HTML in the MySpeed web page based upon speed test results
10. Provide connectivity analysis in a popup window
11. Redirecting to another URL based upon the results.
12. Easy implementation
13. Unlike other speed testers, MySpeeds innovative design does not require any scripts or configuration changes. Just add the MySpeed files to your existing web server!
14. Easy web page customization
15. MySpeed may be easily incorporated into your web pages, or modify the default MySpeed speed test web page to the look and feel of your website.
16. NEW! End-users can easily email test results
17. A bundled JavaScript option enables the end-user to easily send speed test results to your help desk staff or other address. Try the live demo.
18. VoIP Connection Analysis
19. Use MySpeeds bundled JavaScript option to analyze a broadband connection and determine the number of VoIP lines that can be supported. Modify the JavaScript as needed to fit your needs. Try the live demo.
20. Display connection quality test results in common terminology
21. Display connection quality (QOS), Round Trip Time (RTT) and Max Pause results in non-technical terms as Excellent, Good or Poor.
22. Automated start option
23. Seemlessly initiates a connection speed test when a visitor goes to your MySpeed page. Try the live demo.
24. Customizable display of speed test chart
25. Easily modify the applet display to change the speed test scale, show/hide text labels, change the applet colors, and more! You can even customize the MySpeed applet text to display in another language.

Enhancements:

• Max Attainable Speed (the calculated maximum TCP connect speed that is supported by a network connection)
• Max Route Speed (the maximum speed that may be attained on the route being tested)
• TCP Forced Idle Percent (the TCP idle time invoked because the route being tested is too slow end-to-end).
