Coindesigner is a RAD (rapid application development) system to build 3D applications using Coin3D openInventor.
Coindesigner allows to write simple 3D scenarios just using drag&drop, so users require no programming acknoledges at all to use it.
Coindesigner is a system equivalent to glade or qt-designer, where we can choose components from the openInventor toolkit, add them somewhere in our scene and configure them in a very easy way... and all changes are applied to the scene on the fly!
Main features:
- Reads and write scenes in native openInventor file format
- Can import geometry from VRML, 3ds, DXF, OFF (from geomview), SMF, sphere trees .SPH and XYZ point clouds file formats.
- Can export geometry to file formats VRML2, SMF, OBJ, STL, OFF y XYZ.
- It allows to visualize volumetric data (such as medical CT) if SIM Voleon is available in your system.
- Makes some basic geometrical operations, as mesh reduction (with QSLIM) and convex hull computation.
- It includes cdsview, an minimalistic external viewer that allows you to view and distribute scenes without need of coindesigner.
- Provides helpers to define colors (with QColorDialog), file paths (with QFileDialog), menus for enumerated types and much more...
- Allows to use manips to configure Lights and Transform nodes. Just use the right mouse button to interchange between those nodes and their manip!
- GUI has been translated to English, Spanish and Portuguese
- Includes the complete coin reference and several tutorials directly brownsables from the application.
- Its as multiplatform as coin3d and Qt are. It works under Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
- Its open source released under GPL license.

The Field Designer is a program for designing sub-air paintball fields. Field Designer helps you to prepare for a paintball tournament or fun game, or simply to get an overview of a field. Field owners can use it to provide online layouts of their fields.
Main features:
- Delete Figure
- Editable properties
- Default XML Encoding
- Tippie figure
- Tombstone figure
- Export a JPG picture of the field
- Povray Export
- Copy and Paste
- Context menu
- Tactics plugin
- Rotate figures
- 3D field walking
Enhancements:
- A tactics editor was added, allowing you to develop your tactics directly in the field designer.
- Real units of measure can be used, so 32px will represent whatever unit of measure you define.
- When you create a new field layout, you can set the size of the field, which will be shown while drawing the field.
- Fields can be exported to SVG, BMP, JPEG, or PDF.
- The last page of the field creation wizard does not work correctly under Win32.

Designer Framework provides a highly customizable e-commerce framework.

It automatically builds e-commerce interfaces that support a products contraints and properties and can be used to model the product to be sold, automatically and dynamically generating different output formats depending on the generator used.

It includes a Java modelling application, a finite state machine described in XML as intermediate format for the customer interface, and XSLT scripts for transforming the state machine into the final interface.Designer Framework is a highly customizable e-commerce framework.

The IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) IcePref2 Theme Designer tool allows you to easily create and modify themes for IceWM.
IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) is the first full-featured, Gtk-based control panel for IceWM. It is meant to run in IceWM, but can be used in ANY window manager as a general-purpose control panel.
IceWMCP is multi-lingual. Currently, the following languages are supported: English, Spanish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, French (partial), and Finnish (IceWMCP-IceMe only).
Developers: If you would like to use IceWMCP as the foundation for a new control panel (for a new window manager, etc.), see the developers release of IceWMCP. IceWMCP was inspired by the Qt-based application called IceCC, but includes many more tools, a more familiar Windoze Control Panel-like interface, and uses the MUCH faster Gtk user interface (Who runs a fast Window Manager like IceWM, to launch SLOW-running, memory-intensive Qt/KDE-based applications?? I sure dont).
Lets face it: IceWM and fast Gtk interfaces work well together. In addition, because IceWM Control Panel is written with a TRUE open source widget set, Gtk+, you dont have to worry about the licensing problems associated with proprietary QT-based applications. IceWM Control Panel is TRUE open source, through and through.
Version restrictions:
- Access to a Bash shell (very important)
- Python (2.2 or better), PyGtk-2 (1.9.9/2.0.0 or better)
- Gtk+ 2.0.6 or better - neither Gnome nor PyGnome is required
- (IceWMCP versions 2.5 and earlier require Gtk+1 and PyGtk-1 0.6.9)
- Your version of PyGtk should have the Gdk-Pixbuf modules on your system
- Please run ALL IceWMCP programs from a BASH shell: Using other shells such as ksh, pdksh, csh, tcsh, etc. is likely to cause problems.
- If your IceWMCP programs have trouble launching other applications, it is most likely because you are using something other than a Bash (/bin/bash) shell.
- Run the programs from Bash...period!

iReport project is a powerful, intuitive and easy to use visual report builder/designer for JasperReports written in 100% pure java.
This tool allows users to visually edit complex reports with charts, images, subreports,.... iReport is integrated with JFreeChart, one of the most diffused OpenSource chart library for java.
The data to print can be retrieved through several ways including multiple JDBC connections, TableModels, JavaBeans, XML, etc...
Enhancements:
- Full support for JasperReports 1.3.4.
- A new XML field mapping tool.
- A new document structure outline.
- Improved refactoring capabilities.
- An improved report query dialog.
- An improved UI with sortable tables.
- Several bugfixes.

OpenWFE is a workflow engine. OpenWFE is robust, extensible, and scalable.
Access libraries for Python, Perl, and .NET make it easy to write custom interfaces or agents (automatic participants) for a workflow-enabled system.
Main features:
- a worklist component for storing workitems (tasks) for participants,
- an APRE component, allowing you to implement automated agents into your work flows,
- Droflo, our web-based flow designer,
- and a well-documented REST interface and several libraries to access it, with more on the way.

Kejsare is an editor to create and modify WSGUI information. WSGUI concepts are used to dynamically invoke web services in a human-friendly way.
The editor integrates with Qt Designer, translation tools and the Kung and Dynvoker invokers for previewing.
Formerly simply dubbed WSGUI Editor, Kejsare shows its relationship to Kung, the dynamic web service invocation tool currently part of KDE PIM. Kejsare makes it possible to create GUI hints even for non-technical users in order to make web service calls a more pleasant experience.
Licencing is currently GPL but in order to be used in KDE PIM, some parts will probably be changed to LGPL.
Editor source structure:
README - This file (doh!)
editor.pro - Top-level qmake build instructions (call qmake to create makefiles)
common - shared C++ classes
data - Example data
doc - Documentation with small handbook and installation hints
forms - Form elements abstraction layer with XML output (e.g. XForms)
guidd - GUIDD parser and object representation
message - Message editor for XML Schema files
service - Service editor for WSDL files
widgets - XForms plugins for the Qt designer
Enhancements:
- This will not build out of the box unless some libraries from KDE SVN are installed.

Gideon is an innovative GUI builder for GTK+. It is an advanced IDE-embeddable RAD tool designed to fulfill the needs of desktop programmers who want to create multi-platform GTK+ based applications with minimal GUI coding.

Gideon is full-featured yet elegant: its unique Property Explorer solves many GUI constructing tasks in a versatile manner without additional popup dialogs. The project is targeted to develop a tool that is coherent and highly productive for GTK+ experts as well as simple and accessible for newcomers.
