Free studio 54 software for linux

64 Studio is developing a collection of software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (thats AMDs 64-bit CPUs and Intels EM64T chips).
Its based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations.
64 Studio has Debian Pure 64 with X.org, the Gnome desktop, kernel 2.6.12 with realtime preemption patches and a selection of creative applications. Please note that this release is provided for testing only, and comes with no warranty.
Problems in this release include useful packages missing or not installed by default, confusing Gnome menus and assorted warnings during installation. There are probably plenty of other things wrong with it as well, which is why were calling this an alpha release. But it does actually install and run on our Opteron and Athlon 64 test hardware.
Anyone who is interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project would be most welcome. Our aim is to create a distribution with full (but completely optional) commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers.
Enhancements:
- 64 Studio 2.0 is designed to retain compatibility with Debian Etch, to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop. We combine the stability and quality of Etch with a specialised real-time preemption kernel and the latest creative tools demanded by multimedia artists. Our tweaks to Debian include simplified installation and default settings which help get production underway quickly. Its our target that users should be able to get from a blank hard disc to a fully hardware-optimised and usable creative desktop in just half an hour.

Sound Studio is a Tcl/Tk application written by Paul Sharpe as his third year individual project, for which he received the Microsoft Prize for Software Engineering. It was subsequently improved by Robin Whitehead.

It enables recording, playback and simple cut & paste editing of sound files of diverse formats on a PC equipped with a soundcard and the OSS (formally VoxWare) sound drivers.

It uses Lance Norskogs Sox for format conversion; the version weve used is bundled together with this software in its entirety to prevent incompatibility problems, although you should try it with your own sox if you have a more recent one.

Sound Studio is now "finished", but no doubt there are loads of bugs still to be found and features to be added.

GeoVISTA Studio is an open software development environment designed for geospatial data. GeoVistaStudio is a programming-free environment that allows users to quickly build applications for geocomputation and geographic visualization.
One barrier to the uptake of Geocomputation and Geovisualization is there is no system or toolbox that provides easy access to useful functionality. GeoVISTA Studio provides rapid, programming free development of complex applications for:
- data exploration
- knowledge construction
- geocomputation
- visualization
Studio Includes Interactive Query Devices for Exploratory GeoVisualization, 3D Render for complex and sophisticated 3D graphics, 2D mapping and statistical tools.
Studio provides a:
1. Visual Programming-Free Environment for rapid development.
2. Component-Oriented Programming: uses JavaBeans as programming components. Any JavaBeans (developed by 3rd parties) can be plugged in!
3. Recursive Development turns a developed application into a JavaBean component. Developed components (applications) are reusable (scalable), and developed components can be shared by other Studio users and/or java programmers.

Aqua Data Studio program is a database query tool and administration tool that allows developers to easily create, edit, and execute SQL scripts, as well as browse and visually modify database structures.
Aqua Data Studio provides an integrated database environment with a single consistent interface to all major relational databases. This allows the database administrator or developer to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously from one application.
Main features:
Query Analyzer/Window
- Aqua Data Studios sophisticated Query Analyzer allows users to work on database scripts with specific RDBMS syntax highlighting and auto-completion to develop and test SQL scripts. Other features to speed up development include SQL automation, auto-describe and sortable multi-grid results. The query analyzer also provides client side variable binding, allowing a user to execute stored procedures or functions with local variables binded to receive out parameters. The query window also provides two modes of operation, using a SplitPane View or a MultiTab View for the editor and the query results.
Schema Browser & Visual Editing
- Its graphical browsing capabilities allow you to understand the structure and dependencies of the database schema with a single mouse click. The schema browser also allows you to visually edit any schema object with a graphical design form to CREATE, ALTER or DROP the object. Visual editing supports Tables, Indexes, Procedures, Data Types and other schema objects. The visual editors also provides an SQL preview of all the commands to be executed to commit the operation.
Schema Extraction & DDL Scripting
- Its graphical browsing allows you to extract the structure definition of all schema objects and to script the SQL DDL and DML (eg CREATE, ALTER, DROP, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE) syntax for database schema objects (including Tables, Views, Triggers, Stored Procedures and Functions).
Table Data Editor
- A powerful Table Data Editor allows you to modify your results graphically and save them. By writing a single table SELECT statement in the Query Analyzer and clicking on the Execute Edit button, a separate window is opened with the query results for you to edit and save. You may also browser to a table in the schema browser and select the Edit Table from the popup menu to edit the first 1000 records in a table.
Enhancements:
- Enhancements in this release include OS X Integration, Windows integration, complete and customizable keymapping, a schema difference tool, a directory difference tool, a file difference tool, a tab difference tool, a copy history difference tool, SQL Server DBA tools, and Sybase DBA tools.
- In total, there were over 100 new features.

Linux Video Studio is a simple/small application to make the capturing of video on MJPEG-hardware CODEC boards easier.
The application uses the MJPEG-tools, a set of programs to capture video and do lots of things with this. You need to have MJPEG-Tools installed before trying to install Linux Video Studio (also see installation notes) ! Linux Video Studio also uses the Xvideo extension in XFree 4.x to see what youre recording.
But that is not all. I want more than just capturing. My dream is to create one big application that does all the work at once. Not just one application for capturing, one for editing (xlav?), etc. No, my dream is to have one application doing it all. I hope Linux Video Studio can be part of that.
Installation:
You need Gtk to use this application. You also need the MJPEG-Tools installed. Besides that, you now also need an X-server with the Xvideo extension installed (i.e. you need XFree 4.x). In the XF86Config file, add the line Load "v4l" in the modules-section. Next, restart X (you must have the zoran drivers loaded before staring X, or the V4L-module wont work!). For some distros, you might have to install this module first (RedHat 7.0: you need the XFree86-V4L-.... RPM).
From source:
# tar -zxf linuxvideostudio-x.y.z.tar.gz
# cd linuxvideostudio-x.y.z
# ./configure
# make
# make install
From binary RPM:
# rpm --install linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.i386.rpm
You can also use GnoRPM or another convenience tool.
From Source RPM:
# rpm --rebuild linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
# rpm --install linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.i386.rpm
Enhancements:
- some GList related preferences save bugfixes
- bugfixes where the extension of a file (.mp2, .m1v) precedes the filename, but that path doesnt exist

wGui is a platform independent dialog management library based on SDL (Simple Direct-Media Layer) and Freetype 2.
wGuis purpose is to fill the small niche of a GUI library for SDL. There are actually three well known alternatives: LibUta, ParaGUI and aedGui. wGui was spawned from the work of another project (as was LibUta), which I may someday actually get back to.
This was designed to have as few dependencies as possible, and currently only relies upon SDL and Freetype. There is also no platform dependent code, which means it should work properly on any platform that has SDL and Freetype.
wGui was also designed to take advantage of C++, the Standard Library, and the latest Object Oriented techniques. Unfortunately both SDL and Freetype are regular C projects, so not everything is strict C++.
Enhancements:
- The big change in this release was to support Unicode.
- Support for building in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 has also been added.

Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D graphics studio.

Art of Illusion combines modelling, animation, texturing and rendering in one application, with advanced features which compare favorably to those found in many commercial programs.

Art of Illusion is written entirely in Java. It should (in theory) work under any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is compatible with Suns Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 or later.

Imager::Tutorial is an introduction to Imager.

Before you start

If you have the necessary knowledge, install the image format libraries you want Imager image file support for, and Imager itself, otherwise arrange to have it done.
You will also want some sort of image viewer tool, whether an image editor like Photoshop or the GIMP, or a web browser.

Hello Boxes! - A Simple Start

As with any perl program its useful to start with a #! line, and to enable strict mode:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# you might to use warnings; instead of the -w above
use strict;

These lines will be omitted in further examples.

As with any module, you need to load it:

use Imager;

Now create a image to draw on:

my $image = Imager->new(xsize => 100, ysize => 100);

and draw a couple of filled rectangles on it:

$image->box(xmin => 0, ymin => 0, xmax => 99, ymax => 99,
filled => 1, color => blue);
$image->box(xmin => 20, ymin => 20, xmax => 79, ymax => 79,
filled => 1, color => green);

Since the first box fills the whole image, it can be simplified to:

$image->box(filled => 1, color => blue);

and save it to a file:

$image->write(file=>tutorial1.ppm)
or die Cannot save tutorial1.ppm: , $image->errstr;

So our completed program is:

use Imager;

my $image = Imager->new(xsize => 100, ysize => 100);

$image->box(filled => 1, color => blue);
$image->box(xmin => 20, ymin => 20, xmax => 79, ymax => 79,
filled => 1, color => green);

$image->write(file=>tutorial1.ppm)
or die Cannot save tutorial1.ppm: , $image->errstr;
