Kugar is a KDE tool for generating business quality reports which can be viewed and printed. The project includes a standalone report viewer and a KPart report viewer. The latter means that any KDE application can embed the report viewing functionality and that reports can be viewed using the Konqueror browser.
Kugar works by merging application generated data with a template to produce the final report. Both the data and the template are specified using XML. This approach means that applications only need worry about generating the data itself. A template can be referenced via a URL which allows businesses to create a centrally managed template library.
Main features:
- Kugar report designer.
- Report printing in Postscript.
- Database/datasource neutral, data is supplied to the report engine in XML.
- Support for direct database access.
- Open report definition files, report layout is stored in XML.
- Full control of fonts, colors, text alignment and wrapping.
- Report Header/Footer.
- Page Header/Footer.
- Detail Section.
- Detail Header/Footer.
- Unlimited number of detail levels.
- Grand totals: count, sum, average, variance and standard deviation.
- Additional formatting (negative numbers, currency, commas for numbers and dates).

AleVT is a teletext/videotext decoder and browser for the bttv driver (/dev/vbi) and X11.
Theres nothing to configure. A simple make is all. If you do not want png support remove the WITH_PNG in the Makefile. Additionally, if you want a smaller font uncomment the "FONT=neep9" line. It gives you alevt, alevt-date, and alevt-cap and their man pages alevt.1x, alevt-date.1, and alevt-cap.1.
The program can be installed it where ever you want (i.e. /usr/local/bin). The programs are selfcontained and require no other files. Be careful with make install. Its just for me.
I added a little tool to set the system time from the videotext time. The date is not interpreted (not even transmitted on some channels). So it allows only adjustment of +/-12 hours. The default allowed adjustment is limited to +/-2 hours (use -delta to change). Without the -set option it just display the date in the format of the date command. Look at strftime for possible control sequences you may use in the -format option.
Enhancements:
- Removed the bttv-warning from the help pages

Krita is a image editing and painting application for KOffice. The application is almost ready for use, and the architecture provides a solid framework to build an application on.
Because of the current unfinished state, Krita is not yet part of the regular KOffice releases, but the source is available from the KDE SVN repository. We hope to get Krita into a releasable state for KOffice 1.4.
Krita, like other KDE and KOffice applications, is free software which uses GPL Licensing. You enjoy the same rights to own, copy and modify this software with commercial and personal use, so long as you dont restrict the freedom of others to do the same.
Main features:
- Painting with brushes and colors
- Creating brushes from circles and squares
- Filling with colour and patterns

- adjustable zoom levels (mostly complete)
- scaling of images, selections and layers (incomplete)
- graphical access to layer and channel information (partly complete)
- import/export of xcf (Gimp) image files (complete, in as far as ImageMagick supports this)
- embedding in other KOffice apps (needs testing)
- user-oriented documentation of all the above basic functionality (incomplete)
- Scripting using kjsembed
Other planned features:
- HSV, Wet & Sticky and Wet Canvas color models
- image manipulation filters for advanced import/export
- wide range of region selection methods, including fuzzy selection and boundary detection
- scripting with the Python language
KParts architecture and plugins allow:
- plugins for effects and operation on images and selections
- additional tools
- additional filters
- components loaded as needed

Raidmon is a shell script which runs as a daemon and monitors software RAID devices (Linux MD).

raidmon starts to beep when a disk fails or while a RAID device is resyncing after an unclean shutdown.

Every event also triggers the email alert mechanism, which sends mail to one or more persons with the details of whats going on.

Tidybot is a cross-platform batch (X)HTML syntax-checker and report-generator. It traverses a directory tree of (X)HTML files on your hard disk, and generates a web page listing all the errors and warnings it encounters.

Tidybot can be used in two ways: from the command-line, or through a user-friendly GUI application. The output will be identical in either case.

On Unix platforms, the GUI version of Tidybot is installed as tidybot_gui, and can be executed directly from the command line.

On MS Windows, the installer will have installed the GUI version as the program Tidybot GUI, which can be executed from the Start Menu: Start > Programs > Tidybot > Tidybot GUI.

In addition (depending on what you instructed the installer to do) you may also have a Tidybot GUI icon on your Desktop, and/or in the "Quick Launch" area of your Taskbar, that you can use to start the program.

The GUI version of Tidybot allows you to specify exactly the same options as the command-line version, just in a more convenient point-and-click fashion. The GUI version also has some functionality the command-line version lacks:

- The less often-used options are initially hidden. They can be made visible by choosing the Show Advanced Options menu item from the Options menu.
- If the Display results in browser checkbox is checked, Tidybot will send the results of the Tidybot run to your default browser.
- Settings and values are saved when you quit the application, and restored the next time you start it up. Some fields maintain a history of previously entered values, which can be selected from a drop-down menu.

KFormula can be used to create and edit mathematical formulas that can be included in other KOffice documents. KFormula provides simple input facilities and supports the functionality you expect from a KOffice application.
Main features:
- Easy Greek letter insertion
- Intelligent cursor movement
- Advanced syntax highlighting
- Multi-level undo support
- LaTeX export (copy and paste into a text editor)
- MathML import
KFormula uses the KOffice formula drawing library. If you have to deal with many formulas you may wish to use a KFormula object embedded in KWord or KSpread.

Klusters is a powerful and easy-to-use graphical application for spike sorting of extracellular neuronal recordings.
While the accuracy and speed of spike sorting is dramatically improved by automatic classification algorithms, the results of automatic algorithms must be examined manually to ensure that the assigned clusters correspond to single neurons. Klusters has been carefully designed to make this process as fast and error-free as possible.
Main features:
- Multiple type of views including Cluster View displaying spikes in the PCA feature space, Waveform View and Correlation View displaying auto-and cross-correlograms.
- Cluster colors making it easy to quickly identify a given cluster across different views.
- Time trajectory display to identify possible electrode drift.
- "Grouping Assistant" to suggest which pairs of clusters may result from overclustering of a single neuron.
- "Recluster" feature to automatically split clusters that may be several distinct neurons (underclustering), using an external classification program.
- Multiple displays open at once, which can be useful to examine different subsets of the data in parallel.
- Multiple undo and redo on the last actions.
- Print and export to postcript and pdf.
- Ergonomic user interface for maximum speed and reliability.
Enhancements:
- The source archive klusters-1.4.tar.gz released on July 08 did not compiled on certain distributions, this is now corrected.
- If you have encounter this problem, please download a copy of the corrected archive and try again. [This does not affect the debian package].
- In addition a layout bug was corrected in the documentation. [This affects both the source archive and the debian package].
