Free external viewer software for linux

external IP shows your current external IP in the browsers statusbar.

External IP is set to check your IP address once every hour.

External Site Catalog allows you to index and search external sites in a Plone site.

ExternalSiteCatalog is a web crawler that can index external sites and make them searchable in Plone.

You can specify the sites to index in a Plone Configlet, and directly index them from Plone, or let a scheduler do the job.

Searching the external sites is done in a special portlet that is installed with ExternalSiteCatalog.

External sites are not searchable in the normal Plone catalog, but are only available in a separate catalog in the portal_externalcatalog tool.

Gerber Viewer in short gerbv is a viewer for Gerber files. Gerber files are generated from PCB CAD system and sent to PCB manufacturers as basis for the manufacturing process. The standard supported by gerbv is RS-274X.

The basic difference between RS-274D (the old standard) and RS-274X is basically the addition of apertures in RS-274X. It might be possible to make an RS-274X file out of an RS-274D file and an aperture list.

gerbv also supports drill files. The format supported are known under names as NC-drill or Excellon. The format is a bit undefined and different EDA-vendors implement it different. But basically you need to have the tools definition in the file, then the parser is quite tolerant. The different holes are shown as dots in the (scaled) correct size.

The different layers of the PCB are separated into different files. gerbv can load all files at the same time and display them "on top of each other". You can independently turn them on and off.

ThinkFree Viewer allows you to view ThinkFree or Microsoft Office word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation files without having any other office applications installed. After installing the appropriate Widget simply drag and drop files from your desktop, or copy and paste the Web URL into the ThinkFree Widget.

ThinkFree Widgets allows users to open email attachments with ease, and supports the following file formats: .doc, .rtf, .txt, .xls, .csv, .ppt, and .pps.

GeoTIFF Viewer is a simple viewer for GeoTIFF files, which are georeferenced raster images, typically used for maps.
Ive noticed that there really arent any programs for Linux that just view maps. There are several GIS packages, but if all you want to do is look, theyre overkill. I wrote GeoTIFF Viewer to be a simple viewer of digital raster graphics.
It uses libtiff and libgeotiff for the heavy lifting of reading the TIFF and associated GeoTIFF tags, and GTK+, GDK, and GLib for the widgets and graphical utilities. As such, it should run on any platform that these do, which is to say, most modern operating systems.
Digital raster graphics for California can be freely obtained at The California Spatial Information Library. The USGS and the Tennessee Valley Authority have data for the rest of the country.
Installation:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes calculation of seconds when lat/long is being displayed.

tc-viewer provides the ability to watch current transfers that take place in HTB and HFSC traffic shaping classes on specified interface.

tc-viewer reads output from: tc -s class show dev iface, and analyzes (for each class) values in lines like this one :

Measured speeds may little vary from the real ones.

Mesh Viewer is an easy to use lightweight application to display triangular meshes from a variety of file formats (see 3D formats).
Mesh Viewer uses the OpenGL API to render the models. The program was born under the need for quickly displaying reconstructed triangulated meshes. The Mesh Viewer based on an idea and an early elementary implementation from Craig Robertson.
The current version was developed by Helmut Cantzler. Triangular meshes can be displayed texture mapped (optional with bilinear filtering), solid or as a skeleton (full or just the front lines).
The surface normals of the triangles can be displayed optionally. Features (from a different data file) like edges and points can be displayed into the mesh. Loaded models can be rotated, translated and scaled (all done with the mouse). The model is lighted by multiple light sources.
Viewpoints can be saved. Screenshots of the model can be taken (as BMP, JPEG, PNG and so on). The program is able to calculate the texture map for the 3D model (experimental!).
It can read:
- PMesh files (used at the Vision group of the University of Edinburgh)
- GTS files (from the Gnu Triangulation Library)
- Geomview files (only format "OFF")
- PLY files (only ASCII format)
- VRML 1 files (no texture mapping)
- VRML 2 files
- Feature file
- List file
File format descriptions:
The PMesh format begins optional with a header. The first header line consists of "#pmesh". The header ends with the first line not starting with a "#". The data starts with nv lines of the format "v float float float" for the vertices. Follows nf lines of the format "p 3 int int int" for the triangles. Each line contains the three indices of the vertices. The index of the vertices starts at one.
The GTS format is describe shortly. The first line contains three unsigned integers separated by spaces. The first integer is the number of vertices, nv, the second is the number of edges, ne and the third is the number of faces, nf. Follows nv lines containing the x, y and z coordinates of the vertices. Follows ne lines containing the two indices (starting from one) of the vertices of each edge. Follows nf lines containing the three ordered indices (also starting from one) of the edges of each face.
The Geomview formal starts with a header consisting of the format line "OFF" and a second line with three integer numbers. The first integer is the number of vertices, nv, the second is the number of polygons, np, and the third number is typically "0". Following are the nv lines of vertices (each consists of three floats). The other part of the file are np lines of polygons. The first number of each line stands for the size of the polygon. Mesh Viewer just reads polygons consisting of 2 or 3 vertices. Following are a number of indices of the vertices depending on the size of the polygon. The index of the vertices starts at zero.
VRML is only supported partly. The Mesh Viewer extracts only vertices and triangles from VRML files and ignores all other shapes. Shapes in VRML 2.0 are rotated, scaled and translated if necessary. The file name for JPEG texture and texture coordinates are read from VRML 2.0 files if existent.
The Feature file is used to store vertices and edges. A feature file can be loaded beside the mesh to display vertices or edges into the mesh. The first header line consists of "#list". The header ends with the first line not starting with a "#". The lines consists of either vertices or edges. A vertex line consists of the format "fv float float float". A edge line starts with "fe" followed by the x, y and z coordinates for the start and the end vertex.
The List file is only a text file listing n mesh files, which a loaded subsequently as different shapes into one mesh. Lists are useful for displaying a segmentation of a mesh. The first header line consists of "#list". The header ends with the first line not starting with a "#". The following n lines consists of the names for the mesh files (one per line).

vt52vnc is a VNC viewer which can be used on prehistoric green monochromatic terminals called vdt52s, which are capable of vectorgraphics. vt52vnc is a VNC ( http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc ) viewer, which can be used on old, green, monochromatic, prehistoric terminals labeled vdt52s, which are capable of vector graphics.The software is functional, but incomplete for now: it does not support compression, passwords and there are many ways to optimize the output.


Mouse:
As vdt52s does not have the mouse or any other pointing device, one of three unlabeled buttons near the numeric keypad have been used to act as mouse-lock. When you depress it, you can use the numeric keypad to move the mouse, and `+, `-, `., `enter, `0, and `5 as button 1,2,3 toggle and button 1,2,3 click.

Speed:
Based on my own experiences, I recommend the speeds 38400 and higher for "real work". The screen is drawn by rectangles. This is done to improve the reaction times, when the screen changes very often.

The software uses the XOR mode to actually draw the image, which can be improved using AND and OR mode in some cases. One can also imagine another optimizations for particular shapes. I will not add those optimizations, as the decisions are very memory-consumptive and after all, I dont want to implement some kind of prolog just to
choose the right one. If you want to improve it, let me know.

Colors:
The monochromatic translation is done by some bit of green color, which can be changed at the beginning of vncproto.c. If you want to make it better (implement some dithering or (better) the shape finding algorithm), let me know.

Why and how:
The work was inspired by mine never-ending desire for an X display on the "frog". Display drawings are based on the graphics library by Marek Zelem, which is, in turn, based on the documentation for vdt52s, as my work is based on vnc protocol documentation. Coded, of course, on vdt52s terminal with wrong Enter and Control. The sources are written to be easily extended.

Installation & running
1) edit Makefile to adjust some parameters,
