Free figure fifteen software for linux

FREP was born out of a need I had to keep a cluster of server synchronized to a central location with instant file replication (one-way replication).
I realized that polling for file changes was going to be out of the question since the application would get progressively slower the more files were added.
I wanted something that wasnt going to be a ressource hog, and since I was looking at replicating over 200,000 files I wanted something that would scale too. When inotify was released in the vanilla linux kernel, I knew I had found the tool I needed to accomplish this job.
The next part of the puzzle that I needed to figure out what the communication mechanism that I was going to need to have in place to communicate changes to a large number of clients. With IP broadcast and multicast capabilities, the Spread cluster message toolkit was a natrual fit. Using Spreads multicasting capabilities, FREP should be able to scale to hundreds (if not thousands) of nodes.
The final piece of the puzzle was figuring out a bandwidth efficient mechanism for file transfers. I initially wanted to implement bits of the rsync protocol, but instead settled on a combination of Zlib compression on file chunks combined with using the generic diff format specification for partial data transfers. This combination should minimize the amount of bandwidth necessary to have file changes replicated to the cluster.
The system consists of several components:
- FREP_Server: The file monitor daemon
- FREP_Resync: The resynchronization daemon
- FREP_FileServer: A generic file server
- FREP_Client: The client installed on the nodes
- FREP_ResyncClient: A resynchronization client installed on the nodes as a failsafe mechanism
Enhancements:
- Bug fixes, configuration management

Graph::Writer::DrGeo can save the graph output DrGeo scheme script.

SYNOPSIS

my $g = new Graph;

# Add some vertices/edges to $g

my $writer = Graph::Writer::DrGeo->new();
$writer->write_graph($g,"graph.scm");

# graph.scm can be evaluated and rendered with Dr.Geo

Dr. Geo is a GTK interactive geometry software. It allows one to create geometric figure plus the interactive manipulation of such figure in respect with their geometric constraints. It is useable in teaching situation with students from primary or secondary level.

Besides the general file format, Dr.Geo also provide a dynamic graph definition using the language of Scheme. This module save any Graph object into Scheme language, which can be evaluated and rendered in Dr.Geo.

So far the default layout is the circle layout, more kind of layout could be added, and patches welcome.

SDL_image is an image file loading library. It loads images as SDL surfaces, and supports the following formats: BMP, PNM, XPM, LBM, PCX, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TGA.

Images provide the basic visual building blocks for any user interface. Colors and fun shapes are the stuff that we as kids looked at for hours at a time while trying to shoot down big aliens and rescue pixelated princesses. Now its our turn to make the images that others will remember later in life perhaps. Now how do we get this dang images into our SDL programs, and be flexible in the handling of the images so that we dont even have to worry about what various formats they may be in?

This is where SDLimage makes your life easier. This document doesnt help you make artwork, but it will give you the functional knowledge on how to get that art into your game. Now go forth and make your Stick Figure of Justice, someone else might fill in for your lack of artistry, at least you wont have to make much of an effort to include the new and better art into your code.

XML From Plain Text (xfpt) is a program that reads a file of plain text that contains relatively simple markup, and outputs an XML file. It is intended to simplify the management of XML data.
The project is not a program that attempts to turn a plain text document into XML. Markup within text is introduced by ampersand characters, but is otherwise "soft". You can define what follows the ampersand, for example, &" to generate a "quote" element. There is also a macro facility that allows for higher level concepts such as chapters, displays, tables, etc.
Enhancements:
- The macro library has been extended to include preface, appendix, colophon, footnote, figure, and table.
- The program has one new directive to enable it to handle "nested" sections such as footnotes.

blurt 1.0 is a web publishing ("blogging") tool. Unlike most blogging software blurt 1.0 does not provide you with a fancy back office, heavy duty database backends and massive user management systems.
Instead, you upload documents ("posts") in simple text format (.txt) to a directory on your web server. blurt will figure out the rest.
Main features:
- zero maintenance - well, almost. Youll still have to upload your documents (posts) to the web server, but how hard is that?
- organize your documents - creating categories for your documents (posts) is as simple as creating a subdirectory (folder) on your web server. All documents you put in such a directory are considered to be in the same category. The name of the category is the name of the subdirectory.
- easy navigation - browse documents by category or by date or by a combination of both simply by adding the required category or date to the URL of your blog. blurt 1.0 will figure out which documents you want to see.
- extend it - if you need visitors to comment on your documents or if you want to show a list of your latest documents, simply extend blurt 1.0 by installing a plugin. Installing plugins is as simple as downloading a file, changing a few settings and uploading it to a directory on your web server. blurt 1.0 will figure out the rest.

GPL Arcade Volleyball is an SDL remake of the old dos game Arcade Volleyball for several platforms (currently Linux, Windows, BeOS and Mac OS X are supported).

So far it is playable already, but we are planning on introducing several extra features with respect to the original game, while still preserving its sheer addictiveness! So far we already added:

- themes support
- networking game
- more than 2 players games
- several configuration options

Why AV?

It is fun. Play it for awhile: it is simple, fast, it just catches on. Its silly -- yes -- but try and play it with friends. It takes 5 seconds to figure out how to play, and the funky physics somehow just appeals. You could see it as a party game; say youre throwing a party, youd have that sort of game in the middle of several drinks, projected on a large screen, to have people have fun, engage in tournaments and laugh all through the game. Just as youd have with, say, pong. You wouldnt play Warcraft or Flight Simulator in those situations, or would you. Even for a nerds party were talking about.

bgrab is an application used to download binary attachments from newsgroups.

The purpose of this program is to automate the downloading of binary attachments from UseNet Newsgroups. Given a group name, this program will connect to a news server, read all messages in that group and extract any binary attachments included in any of those messages (including multipart attachments). This program does not require any keyboard interaction and could be fairly easily scheduled to run from crond.

To compile this program, you need to be on a system that uses the GNU C++ Compiler (or that has some other ANSI C++ compliant compiler linked to run as the gcc executable). You also need to have either curses or ncurses installed.

Makefiles are included for Linux and Solaris systems. The attached configure script does nothing more than try to figure out if youre running one of these two OSes and create a link from one of them to Makefile if you are. The Linux makefile assumes you have ncurses installed, the Solaris that you have curses itself.

If some of this isnt true (i.e. if youre running some other variant of UNIX or if your curses is called something different), youre on your own to compile.

Otherwise:
configure
make

"make install" will try to move the program binary (bgrab) to /usr/local/bin and make it root/root/755.
