Free graphically extreme software for linux

WhileInterpreter is an interpreter for the WHILE programming language used for learning purpose.

WhileInterpreter has few constructs and easy semantics.

Command line interpreters allow users to issue various commands in a very efficient (and often terse) way. This requires the user to know the names of the commands and their parameters, and the syntax of the language that is interpreted. From the 1960s onwards, user interaction with computers was primarily by means of command line interfaces.

In the 1970s, researchers began to develop graphical user interfaces (GUIs)to provide an alternative user interface for computers, whereby commands were represented by pictorial operations, rather than as textual descriptions. Since they are easier to learn than command line interfaces, they have become the most common way of interacting with a computer.

However, command line interpreters remain widely used in conjunction with GUIs. For some complex tasks, the latter are less effective because of the large number of menus and dialog boxes presented and because of the innate difficulty of representing the underlying task graphically.

Test::Extreme is a perlish unit testing framework.

SYNOPSIS

# In ModuleOne.pm combine unit tests with code

package ModuleOne;
use Test::Extreme;
sub foo { return 23 };
sub test_foo { assert_equals foo, 23 }

# at the end of the module

run_tests ModuleOne if $0 =~ /ModuleOne.pm$/;

# To run the tests in this module on the command line type

perl ModuleOne.pm

# If you have tests in several modules (say in ModuleOne.pm,
# ModuleTwo.pm and ModuleThree.pm, create test.pl containing
# precisely the following:

use ModuleOne;
use ModuleTwo;
use ModuleThree;

run_tests ModuleOne, ModuleTwo, ModuleThree,

# Then run these tests on the command line with

perl test.pl

# If you prefer to get Perls classic "ok/not ok" output use
# replace run_tests with run_tests_as_script in all of the
# above

# Also take a look at Test/Extreme.pm which includes its own
# unit tests for how to instrument a module with unit tests

Test::Extreme is a perlish port of the xUnit testing
framework. It is in the spirit of JUnit, the unit testing
framework for Java, by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma. Instead of
porting the implementation of JUnit we have ported its spirit
to Perl.

The target market for this module is perlish people
everywhere who value laziness above all else.

Test::Extreme is especially written so that it can be easily
and concisely used from Perl programs without turning them
into Java and without inducing object-oriented nightmares in
innocent Perl programmers. It has a shallow learning curve.
The goal is to adopt the unit testing idea minus the OO
cruft, and to make the world a better place by promoting the
virtues of laziness, impatience and hubris.

You test a given unit (a script, a module, whatever) by using
Test::Extreme, which exports the following routines into your
namespace:

assert $x - $x is true
assert_true $x - $x is true
assert_false $x - $x is not true
assert_passed - the last eval did not die ($@ eq "")
assert_failed - the last eval caused a die ($@ ne "")
assert_some $x - $x is true
assert_none - $x is false
assert_equals $x, $y - recursively tests arrayrefs, hashrefs
and strings to ensure they have the same
contents
assert_contains $string, $list
- $list contains $string assert_subset
$element_list, $list - $element_list is
a subset of $list (both are arrayrefs)
assert_is_array $x - $x is an arrayref
assert_is_hash $x - $x is a hashref
assert_is_string $x - $x is a scalar
assert_size N, $list - the arrayref contains N elements
assert_keys [k1, k2], $hash
- $hash contains k1, k2 as keys

run_tests_as_script - run all tests in package main and emit
Perls classic "ok/not ok" style output

run_tests_as_script NS1, NS2, ...
- run all tests in package main, NS1,
NS2, and so on and emit Perls classic
"ok/not ok" style output

run_tests - run all tests in package main

run_tests NS1, NS2, ...
- run all tests in package main, NS1,
NS2, and so on

For an example on how to use these assert take a look at
Test/Extreme.pm which includes it own unit tests and
illustrates different ways of using these asserts.

The function run_tests finds all functions that start with
the word test (preceded by zero or more underscores) and runs
them one at a time. It looks in the main namespace by
default and also looks in any namespaces passed to it as
arguments.

Running the tests generates a status line (a "." for every
successful test run, or an "F" for any failed test run), a
summary result line ("OK" or "FAILURES!!!") and zero or more
lines containing detailed error messages for any failed
tests.

To get Perls classic "ok/not ok" style output (which is
useful for writing test scripts) use run_tests_as_script
instead of run_tests.

Echo2 Extras provides a collection of additional user interface components for the Echo2 framework. Echo2 Extras project is currently under development and should be considered beta-quality software.
Current components provided by the Extras library include:
- AccordionPane: A tabbed container that displays its contents between vertical separators with only one child component displayed at a time. The separators slide up and down with an animated effect when the user changes selection by clicking on a separator.
- BorderPane: A simple single-child container that displays its content surrounded by a graphically drawn FillImageBorder.
- CalendarSelect: A date selection component which provides a view of an entire calendar month to aid in selection.
- ColorSelect: An Hue-Saturation-Value based color selection component.
- PulldownMenu: A pull-down menu component with the capability to display submenus and toggle/radio items.
- TabPane: A traditional tabbed pane implementation. This component can lazy-render its children to reduce initial load times.
Enhancements:
- Opacity-based fades were added to TransitionPane.
- The Calendar component has been localized for English, German, French, Greek, Italian, Spanish, and 1337.
- IE6 BorderPane rendering issues were fixed, including enabling transparent borders with this browser.

Matrex is a graphical tool to show, organize and calculate big amounts of data.

Matrex is the perfect tool for mathematical models and for other statistical, engineering, physical, and generally scientific calculations.

Matrex is based on matrices, which are meant as square grids of numbers, texts, dates or booleans.

Matrex matrices can be real matrices, vectors or simple values.

Matrex uses also:

- functions to transform matrices to other matrices.
- presentations to show multiple matrices together in a spreadheet-like way.
- charts to show matrices graphically.

Advantages: simplicity, performance, multithreading, readability, easy projects sharing; and the feeling you have everything under control.

Matrex uses the following products:

- SWT for the graphical user interface
- JFreeChart for the 2D charts
- FreeHep for the 3D charts
- Jython as embedded scripting language
- Apache Commons Math to calculate pure matrices functions and statistical functions
- IzPack to install Matrex.
