Free graphic tools 1.2 software for linux

The Graphics Muse Tools are a collection of plug-ins and scripts for use with GIMP. The package now includes a set of C plugins (GFXArrows, GFXCards, GFXTrans, GFXLayers, GFXMerge, and GFXShapes) and a set of Perl scripts (GFXDodge, GFXGallery, GFXLayerSave, and GFXLayerOffsets).

Radar Tools in short RAT is a small collection of tools for processing SAR (synthetic aperture radar) remote sensing data, packed together in a nice graphical user interface.
Our motivation to start the development of RAT is that modern remote sensing software like Erdas Image or ENVI include only some basic SAR functionality. Advanced algorithms have to be implemented by oneself.
So we descided to start the development of RAT. RAT should bring modern SAR algorithms to a wider user-base by simplifying in particular the data handling and processing of complex SAR data.
RAT is planned as an ongoing community effort, i.e. there will be no final version with a certain functionality. It is our idea to include more and more SAR tools in future and to make them freely available to the scientific community.
We of course also hope for external contributions. Because of this, the programming interface of RAT is kept quite simple and adding own functions is quite easy. Function templates are included in the distribution and a step-by-step description of how to program a RAT module will appear soon in the documentation.

Text::Graphics is a text graphics rendering toolkit.

This is a toolkit for rendering plain text via an API like that used for graphics rendering in GUI toolkits. This package might be used when you want to do sophisticated rendering of plain text, e.g., for graphing, creating of complex forms for email and fax, and so on.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Graphics;
my $text = "A text graphics rendering toolkit.n";
my $page = Text::Graphics::Page->new( 20, 10);
my $panel0 = Text::Graphics::BorderedPanel->new( 20, 10);
my $panel1 =
Text::Graphics::FilledBorderedTextPanel->new($text x 3, 25, 12);
$panel0->setBackground("#");
$panel1->setBackground(" ");
$page->add($panel0);
$page->add($panel1, 5, 2);
$page->render();

Macao is a framework based on Javascript and DHTML to build animated interactive homepages.
It is intended to build graphic adventures and other animated interactive fiction. Macao-based games dont need any plugin and can be hosted on static Web servers.
The framework comes with a step-by-step tutorial and a complete Java-style API documentation. It has a Road Editor and other useful tools.
Enhancements:
- This release brings a module for card games.
- Try out the online demo Macao Solitaire.
- Overall performance has been improved, and support for drag and drop has been extended.
- An additional chapter in the tutorial explains how to set the walk interval.

Slax Tools project are graphical applications that simplify process of generating custom version of live distribution Slax.
Slax Konfigurator is QT application that guides user through downloading Slax ISO image, management of modules, management of custom documents and bootloader configuration. Modified ISO can be installed on USB pen drive or recorded on CD. Slax Konfigurator requires QT, kdesu, sudo, cdrecord or wodim
Slax Module Kreator converts RPM (Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva), DEB (Debian, Ubuntu), TAR.GZ (Arch Linux) and TGZ (Slackware, KateOS) binary packages into Slax modules. Slax Module Kreator depends on KDE 3.5, mksquashfs and rpm2cpio (RPM only), dpkg (DEB only) and tar (TAR.GZ and TGZ only).
Enhancements:
- Slax Konfigurator - now you can test generated ISO image in QEmu before burning (obviously, QEmu is required for that)
- Slax Module Kreator - it is possible to output modules into selected shared directory instead of creating them in source directory
- various bug fixes

Graphics::ColorPicker is a Perl module for WYSIWYG web applications that allow selection of HEX color numbers.

SYNOPSIS

make_page($path_to_images);
send_page($html_txt,$type);
$time_string = http_date($time);
$name = script_name;
$html_text=frames($websafe);
$html_text = msie_frame;
$html_text=picker($darkimg,$liteimg,$size,$bsize,greyimg);
$html_text=no_picker;
$html_text=cp216_ds($clrdot,$border,$square)
$javascript_text = jslib;
$html=make_buttons(%look_n_feel,$url,$active,@buttons,$xtra);
$html_text=pluck($color);

Text::Graph is a Perl extension for generating text-based graphs.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Graph;
blah blah blah

Some data is easier to analyze graphically than in its raw form. In many cases, however, a full-blown multicolor graphic representation is overkill. In these cases, a simple graph can provide an appropriate graphical representation.

The Text::Graph module provides a simple text-based graph of a dataset. Although this approach is not appropriate for all data analysis, it can be useful in some cases.
