Looking Glass is a project that allows creating an innovative 3D desktop environment for Linux. It is sponsored by Sun Microsystems.

Looking Glass is programmed in the Java language using the Java 3D system to remain platform independent. Despite the use of graphics acceleration features, the desktop explores the use of 3D windowing capabilities for both existing application programs and ones specifically designed for Looking Glass.

The project is still in early development. The prototype is now working on Suns Java Desktop System.[citation needed]

One of its most notable features is the creation of reversible windows. This capability can be used for features like allowing the user to write notes and comments on the windows backs, or displaying application dialogs without risking them being detached from the application they relate to.

All windows start by looking like a normal 2D or 2.5D window, but can be manipulated as thin slate-like 3D objects which can be set at any angle or turned completely around by the user.

Other features include provision of a panning virtual desktop, icons that reflect the live status of the window they represent and zooming of a window when it receives focus.

Zoom is a player for Z-Code stories or games. These are usually text adventures (interactive fiction), and were first created by Infocom with the Zork series of games.

Throughout the 80s, Infocom released many interactive fiction stories before their ambitions to enter the database market finally brought them low.

Zoom has versions for OS X and Unix-like operating systems using X-Windows. You can download the OS X version or the source code using the links to the left. Zoom can be redistributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Obviously, Zoom is quite capable of playing Zork, so those of you who have access to the increasingly rare Infocom games can continue to play them. However, back in 1993, Graham Nelson released Curses and more importantly the Inform compiler that created it. There is now a considerable collection of new interactive fiction of variable quality available. Bafs guide to the interactive fiction archive is absolutely essential for those new to the scene.

zoomFox is an extension that adds a context menu item (View with zoomFox) for viewing images.
Adds a context menu item (View with zoomFox) for viewing images using advanced controls: The image is opened in a new tab which also contains a thumbnail view of the image used to scroll around more easily, zoom controls with various zoom levels, easy scrolling by clicking and dragging the image itself etc. Ideal for viewing very large images easily.
Version restrictions:
- Does not work on local images.
- Does not work with Greasemonkey (prevents installation of GM user scripts).

Image Zoom is a Firefox extension which adds zoom functionality for images.

KSmoothDock is a cool desktop panel (like KDEs kicker) for KDE 3.2 with smooth zooming (2 modes: normal and parabolic).
As it is intended for KDE/Linux, its behaviour will be like that of kicker.
- Programming language: C++
- Libraries used: KDE 3.2
Installation:
Unzip, cd to the directory ksmoothdock then run:
./configure
make
su
make install
***IF you have problems compiling, try:
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --without-arts
make
su
make install
(thx 6thpink for this)
Then run:
ksmoothdock
(if when you run "ksmoothdock", nothing happens, then it is likely that your KDE dir is not standard. In this case, either:
- cd to the directory ksmoothdock/src, then run "./ksmoothdock", or
- Re-do the above sequence (./configure ...), but instead of "./configure", type:
./configure --prefix=/YOUR_KDE_DIR
)
Enhancements:
New features:
- New command line options:
- resetConfig reset configuration data
- resetLaunchers reset quick launchers data
Bug fixes:
- Fixed some display bugs (on both normal and parabolic zoom modes) in v4.4.

Mirage is a fast and simple GTK+ image viewer. Mirage project supports a variety of image formats (png, jpg, xpm, gif, bmp, tiff, and many others). Mirage provides zooming and rotating capabilities, as well as displaying transparency as a checkerboard.

Because it depends only on PyGTK, Mirage is ideal for users who wish to keep their computers lean while still having a clean image viewer.

Mirage was written because of what I perceive to be a lack of a simple and lightweight GTK+ image viewer available. A secondary reason was my desire to learn python and the GTK+ toolkit, of which I am very fond. Its been a struggle and a challenge at times, but a fun one at that.

SigBrowser is a small tool to display large signals (up to 2 GB filesize / 1-6 channels / 16 bit integer).

SigBrowser allows you to smoothly browse in a large signal. It can load 16 bit signed integer data with up to 6 interlaced channels.

Unfortunately theres no large-file support, so the limit is at 2 GB. You cant do much except looking at the signal with various zooming factors.

But if youre searching for certain artefacts in a signal then its probably quite useful for you.

It can visualize large signals with filesizes of up to 2 GB. Currently only 16 bit signed integer signals with up to 8 interlaced channels can be loaded.

Using a P4 @ 1.8 GHz with 512 MB RAM and a GeForce 4 graphics card you can scroll and zoom quite smoothly through the whole signal. On a Sun Ultra 1500 its a bit slower but you can still work fine with it.

By using something which I call block-reduction (BL). BL uses the fact that todays screens only have a limited amount of pixels. That means to display the whole signal at once, the worst case regarding performance restrictions, you would have to display thousands of samples on one pixel coordinate in x (horizontal) direction.

Assuming we plot lines between each pair of following samples the user will see a colored area which borders in vertical direction are the minimum and maximum value of all samples falling on the same x-coordinate.

Using this fact we let the user create a so called signal profile. Besides storing the sampling rate, file format info, number of channels to visualize and similar things its main purpose is to contain min/max pairs each of which calculated from a block of N samples per channel. N gets specified by the user, usually 10..50, depending on signal size and computer beeing used.

By visualizing these min/max blocks instead of the real signal as long as the user doesnt zoom into the signal to much we dont loose any information on the screen. But we get a nice performance boost as the signal profile has a much smaller size (signal_lengh_in_samples / N * 2) than the original signal has. Unfortunately we cant do this anymore when the user zooms into details. Then SigBrowser switches to direct display of the signal but it loads only about 1 MB of the original signal at once, which would result in a width of usually several screens.

Example:

* C = number of channels in origianl signal
* V = number of channels to visualize
* S = original signal length in samples per channel
* B = block size

I have a signal of 1.1 GB, C = V = 8 channels, 16 bit integer samples which in my case contains S = 73298610 samples per channel. Using a block size of B = 10 samples per min/max block (really smooth interaction on a P4 3.2 GHz) you get a signal-profile of S / B * 4 / (1024*1024) = 84 MB which you have to keep in memory.

Tiff Plugin is Mozilla/Netscape compatible plugin for viewing TIFF images.
Its features include zooming, rotation, and a progress bar when downloading images. It is ideal for when available memory is limited.
Main features:
- Zoom in - keyboard shortcut +
- Zoom out - keyboard shortcut -
- Rotate anticlockwise - keyboard shortcut a
- Rotate clockwise - keyboard shortcut c
- Progress bar when downloading images
The plugin is available in .deb format for i386 and amd64 systems. So debian based systems can install with
dpkg -i mozilla-tiff-plugin-i386.deb
OR
dpkg -i mozilla-tiff-plugin-amd64.deb
For non debian based systems, the sources need to be compiled. For compiling the packages pkg-config, libgtk2.0-dev and mozilla-dev need to be installed. The steps to install the source would be
tar -zxvf mozilla-tiff-plugin.tar.gz
cd mozilla-tiff-plugin
make
make plugin
make install
The plugin has been tested on firefox and mozilla browsers.
Enhancements:
- Multi-page tiff support was added.
- Memory management was improved.
