Free report designer 2008 software for linux

Crow is a modern GUI builder for the GTK+ toolkit.
Crow is full-featured yet lightweight: its tree-based [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 productive for experienced GTK+ users as well as simple and accessible for newcomers.
Main features:
- [Property Explorer]? for managing trees of nested objects and arrays
- undo/redo for all operations
- uses GuiXml as a save format: a simple GUI description language
- utilizes GtkUIManager for generating menus and toolbars
- multi-platform: GNU/Linux, *BSD and Windows are supported
- IDE-embeddable: implemented as a widget in a dynamic library
- standalone designer application is included in the distribution
- GPL license

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!

Progress Report Manager project is a system for entering and sending school progress reports for teachers and parents.
The Progress Report Manager was built to alleviate problems experienced with traditional school progress reports.
Administrators create progress reports that are automatically sent via email.
Every week, teachers receive a message in their inbox reminding them that a new progress report has been created.
The teacher completes the progress reports online using a Web browser.
At the end of the week, the administrators click a button which sends email messages to every parent whose child received a report.
The parents can look at their students progress online and reply to teacher comments using response features.
Enhancements:
- inactivate students fixed
- help files fixed / modified / written
- report views fixed
- log files can be flushed
- semesters fixed

Log::Report::Lexicon::PO is a Perl module with one translation definition.

METHODS

Constructors

Log::Report::Lexicon::PO->new(OPTIONS)

Option --Default
automatic ""
comment []
format []
fuzzy false
msgid
msgid_plural undef
msgstr "" or []
references []
. automatic => PARAGRAPH

Automaticly added comments. See addAutomatic().

. comment => PARAGRAPH

Translator added comments. See addComment().

. format => ARRAY-OF-PAIRS|HASH

See format().

. fuzzy => BOOLEAN

The string is not yet translated, some smart guesses may have been made. See fuzzy().

. msgid => STRING
. msgid_plural => STRING
. msgstr => STRING|ARRAY-OF-STRING

The translations for the msgid. When msgid_plural is defined, then an ARRAY must be provided.

. references => STRING|ARRAY-OF-LOCATIONS

The STRING is a blank separated list of LOCATIONS. LOCATIONs are of the form filename:linenumber, for instance lib/Foo.pm:42 See addReferences()

Attributes

$obj->addAutomatic(LIST|ARRAY|STRING)

Add multiple lines to the translators comment block. Returns an empty string if there are no comments.

$obj->addComment(LIST|ARRAY|STRING)

Add multiple lines to the translators comment block. Returns an empty string if there are no comments.

$obj->addFlags(STRING)

Parse a "flags" line.

$obj->addReferences(STRING|LIST|ARRAY)

The STRING is a blank separated list of LOCATIONS. The LIST and ARRAY contain separate LOCATIONs. A LOCATION is of the form filename:linenumber. Returns the internal HASH with references.

$obj->automatic([LIST|ARRAY|STRING])

Returns a STRING which contains the cleaned paragraph of automatically added comments. If an argument is specified, it will replace the current comment.

$obj->comment([LIST|ARRAY|STRING])

Returns a STRING which contains the cleaned paragraph of translators comment. If an argument is specified, it will replace the current comment.

$obj->format(LANGUAGE|PAIRS|ARRAY-OF-PAIRS|HASH)

When one LANGUAGE is specified, it looks whether a LANGUAGE-format or no-LANGUAGE-format is present in the line of FLAGS. This will return 1 (true) in the first case, 0 (false) in the second case. It will return undef (also false) in case that both are not present.

You can also specify PAIRS: the key is a language name, and the value is either 0, 1, or undef.

Example: use of format()

if($po->format(c)) ...
unless($po->format(perl-brace)) ...
if(defined $po->format(java)) ...

$po->format(java => 1); # results in java-format
$po->format(java => 0); # results in no-java-format
$po->format(java => undef); # results in
$obj->fuzzy([BOOLEAN])

Returns whether the translation needs human inspection.

$obj->isActive

Returns whether the translation has any references, or is the header.

$obj->msgid

Returns the actual msgid, which cannot be undef.

$obj->msgstr([INDEX, [STRING]])

With a STRING, a new translation will be set. Without STRING, a lookup will take place. When no plural is defined, use INDEX 0

$obj->plural([STRING])

Returns the actual msgid_plural, which can be undef.

$obj->references([STRING|LIST|ARRAY])

Returns an unsorted list of LOCATIONS. When options are specified, then those will be used to replace all currently defined references. Returns the unsorted LIST of references.

$obj->removeReferencesTo(FILENAME)

Remove all the references to the indicate FILENAME from the list. Returns the number of refs left.

Parsing

Log::Report::Lexicon::PO->fromText(STRING, [WHERE])

Parse the STRING into a new PO object. The WHERE string should explain the location of the STRING, to be used in error messages.

$obj->toString(OPTIONS)

Format the object into a multi-lined string.

Option --Default
nr_plurals undef
. nr_plurals => INTEGER

If the number of plurals is specified, then the plural translation list can be checked for the correct lenght. Otherwise, no smart behavior is attempted.

$obj->unused

The message-id has no references anymore and no translations.

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.
