Imagero Reader is a Java library for reading image files. Supported file types include BMP, GIF, TIFF, PNG, JNG, MNG, JPEG (including 12-bit grey), PSD, PBM, PGM, PPM, TGA, EPS, EPSI, and EPSF.
The following RAW file types are also supported, at least partially: MRW, CRW, NEF, DCR, and DNG. It can read thumbnails, read metadata (IPTC, EXIF, and XMP), edit metadata, get image width and height, get the number of images contained in a file, define an area to read, add a ProgressListener, choose an image channel to read, set a scale factor, set subsampling (JPEG only), and read an image (or channel) directly into an array.
Supported file types are:
- BMP 1, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32 bit uncompressed; 4 and 8 bit compressed
- GIF
- TIFF 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, 48 and 64 bit per pixel; bilevel, grayscale, palette, RGB, CMYC, Cie Lab, YCrCb color spaces; CCIT1D, G3, G4, ZIP, JPEG, LZW and PackBits compression
- PNG, JNG, MNG
- JPEG inclusive CMYC and 12-bit grey
- PSD
- PBM, PGM, PPM
- TGA
- read embedded images from EPS, EPSI, EPSF
Supported RAW files:
- MRW
- CRW*, CR2*, THM
- NEF*
- DCR*
- DNG*
- Full resolution image cant be yet read, but thumbnail, preview and metadata can be read.
Main features:
- read thumbnails
- read/edit metadata
- any metadata contained in ImageResourceBlock ( PSD, JPEG, TIFF) and ImageFileDirectrory entry ( TIFF, NEF, DNG, DCR) can be edited full control over JPEG metadata
- get image width and height
- get number of images, contained in file
- define an area to read
- add a ProgressListener
- estimate JPEG compression/quality
- read an image channel
- set a scale factor
- set subsampling (JPEG only)
- read an image (or channel) directly into an array
- easy IPTC handling with IPTCParser and IPTCEditor
Whats New in 1.9.6 Stable Release:
- The EPS parser was partially rewritten and made more generic and easy to use.
- It may be used now to parse nearly every kind of data (as a programmable parser).
- Thumbnails are read from AI (Illustrator) files.
- Disc based image caching was implemented (but is beta).
- New methods were added to TiffUtils: insert IFDEntry, remove IFDEntry, and create and insert IFDEntry with IPTC data.
- Two utility classes were added for creating and adding EXIF and GPS data to TIFF images.
- An important bug in XMPApp1 concerning wrong field length was fixed.
Whats New in 2.0.0 RC3 Development Release:
- It is possible to write TIFF images now. TiffWriter can currently write RGB, ARGB, CMYK, and grayscale (8 bit) images.
- Supported compression schemes are uncompressed, PackBits, and ZIP.
- Bugfixes were made.

Audio::Wav::Read is a Perl module for reading Microsoft WAV files.

SYNOPSIS

my $details = $read -> details();

Reads Microsoft Wav files.

Desktop Gmail is a superkaramba theme which uses wget to read the rss feed for your Gmail inbox and displays it on a GUI. It displays upto twenty latest messages(five at a time) as well as the no. of total unread messages.

It shows the name of the author of the mail as well as the subject of the mail. On hovering over the name, a tooltip containing the authors email id is displayed and when hovered over the subject, the summary of the body is shown.

This theme displays upto 20 latest messages from your Gmail inbox(5 at a time), the authors of the message and the no. of unread messages.

On hovering over the name, the email id is displayed and on hovering over subject, a summary of the body is displayed.

Open gmail.py and enter your username and password.(see readme for details).

Derbrill Tutorials are Free Tutorials For Writing Games and Multimedia Applications in Runtime Revolution with ArcadeEngine.

The tutorials come in a visually appealing e-book format which is both easy to read and use, the range of topics covered includes:

* The basics of Revolution such as: stacks, cards, scripts, messages and timers
* How to use geometric properties such as distances, angles and intersection rectangles
* Understanding and using different movements including linear, polygonal, circular and elliptic
* Advanced use of images
* Using the built-in collision detection

PayPal Wifi PrePaid integrates with Chillispot and FreeRADIUS and PayPal. PayPal Wifi PrePaid allows the customer to choose how much time they wish to purchase, processes the payment with PayPal, then creates their username and password automatically, and updates the SQL radius tables with the proper credentials and time.

This script is easy to setup, but the user must have knowledge of Chillispot, provide their own login page, have a PayPal account, and have FreeRADIUS setup to read from MySQL.

Spreadsheet::Read enables reading the data from a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheet::Read tries to transparantly read *any* spreadsheet and return its content in a universal manner independent of the parsing module that does the actual spreadsheet scanning.

For OpenOffice this module uses Spreadsheet::ReadSXC

For Excel this module uses Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

For CSV this module uses Text::CSV_XS

For SquirrelCalc there is a very simplistic built-in parser

This package makes it easy to read and write java classfiles. It doesnt, however, provide any help with displaying the contents of a classfile to the user (unless you count debug output), or disassembling the bytecodes.

This code snippet will read in a classfile and write it back out to a different file.

InputStream is = new FileInputStream("Foo.class");
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("FooCopy.class");
ClassInfo classInfo = new ClassInfo();
new ClassFileReader().read(is, classInfo);
classInfo.setName("FooCopy"); // Java requires the class name to match the file name
new ClassFileWriter().write(classInfo, os);
is.close();os.close();

The package can read "obfuscated" classfiles, like those generated by Crema, but it cant write them. Obfuscated classfiles have invalid data in them and the only reason they work is because most VMs ignore the data thats invalid (attributes like SourceFile, LineNumberTable, and LocalVariableTable). If a ClassFileReader encounters invalid data, it just ignores it.
