easy to trial software / shareware for linux

aiSee reads a textual, easy-to-read and easy-to-learn graph specification and automatically calculates a customizable graph layout. This layout is then displayed, and can be interactively explored, printed and exported to various graphic formats.
aiSee has been optimized to handle huge graphs automatically generated by applications. It is available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X.
When working with any kind of complex relational data, visualization provides for much better and faster understanding. Back in 1991, aiSee was developed to visualize the internal data structures typically found in compilers.
Today it is widely used in many different areas:
- Genealogy (family trees, evolution diagrams, pedigrees)
- Business management (organization charts)
- Software development (call graphs, control flow graphs)
- Hardware design (circuit diagrams, finite state diagrams)
- Database management (entity relationship diagrams)
- Informatics (algorithm visualization)
- Web design (sitemaps, P2P networks)
Main features:
Excellent readability of calculated layouts:
- Nodes are placed in a hierarchy of layers
- Nodes are positioned without overlapping
- Crossing of lines (edges) is reduced/avoided
- Edges are kept short and straight
Fast layout calculation for huge graphs
15 basic layout algorithms, including
- Force-directed layout
- Depth-first-search layout
- Specialized algorithm for layout of trees
Zooming of graphs and easy navigation
Easy printing of graphs on multiple pages
Export of graphs to BMP, colored PostScript, SVG, PNG and HTML
Graph nesting and advanced graph hierarchy operations like
- Folding, unfolding, wrapping and clustering of complete subgraphs
- Folding of user-defined graph regions
- Excluding subgraphs or graph regions
- Hiding of edges
Cartesian and polar fish-eye views
Animation of series of graphs and smooth transitions
Multi-line edge labels
Easy handling of huge graphs with as many as 1,000,000 nodes and 1,500,000 edges
- Commands, hyperlinks, JavaScript functionality, and up to three additional information windows can be associated with each node and each subgraph
Nodes can be represented by user-defined bitmap icons
- The input format GDL (graph description language) provides for very natural textual graph representation, and is also easy to learn.
Version restrictions:
- 30-day trial version
Enhancements:
- Improved export of edges to bitmap formats.
- Improved export to SVG: the output files are now up to 14% smaller.
- Fixed bitmap image mapping bug.
- Fixed bugs in the Show Neighbors implementation.
- Fixed bugs in the Follow Edge implementation.
- Fixed export of f- to SVG.
- Other bugfixes.

Cinderella project can do geometry on the computer, and it is designed to be both mathematically robust and easy to use.

The new release Cinderella.2 is a major step forward and has many new features and enhancements, for example physics simulations and a built-in scripting language.

You can run Cinderella on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and many other Unix variants, because it is written in Java. And since Java is built into many browsers, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari, you and others can use your constructions across the Internet. Communicating geometry is easy with Cinderella.

Webmatic flashlets is a collection of various real-time flash graphical effects, menus, and transition effects for your Website (rain, snow, fade, zoom, beams, lightning, and more).

You can customize your flash effects with an easy to use HTML code generator. You can personalize your flashlets with various additional special text effects. With the flashlets menu series, you can create customizable (buttons-based) flash menus.

You can create various kind of flash menus (there are 9 predefined flash buttons, with more coming soon) and vertical, horizontal, or tabular menus. Its also possible to combine different kind of flash buttons in the same menu.

Enhancements:
- A com.jscape.inet.telnetssl.TelnetSsl class was added for telnet sessions tunneled over SSL.A com.jscape.inet.imap.ImapMessage convenience class that encapsulates email message data and message flags was added.Client and server certificate support was added to all SSL-enabled classes.
- A default connection timeout of 30 seconds was set for all email protocols.
- Public key authentication support in the SSH and SFTP protocols was improved along with exception handling in the SSH protocol.

Java Serialization to XML (JSX in short) translates between Java and XML, making it possible to search, test, profile, and audit your object data with ordinary XML and text processing tools.
Your data can be migrated to new application versions, to C++, and to other applications by transforming the XML. Unlike other Java XML serializers, JSX is accurate for all objects.
Main features:
Works for all objects
- JSX avoids the problem of NotSerializableExceptions, now and in the future, because it serializes all objects, Serializable or not. ( read more... )
Nested and recursive objects
- JSX can create an instant file format for your data, which you can then configure manually with a plain text editor. Manually coding such a format is a lot of tedious work - and you also have to write the parsing code. This coding is especially unpleasant when your objects have a nested or recursive structure. Java Object serialization (JOS) also works well for this task, except that you cannot see or edit the resulting binary. JOS also requires objects to implement the Serializable interface, and so wont work with all objects. JSX does not have this restriction, and works for objects whether they implement Serializable or not. Here is a case study. ( read more... )
Human readable
- XML is easy to check and verify; and automatic serialization eliminates human error in the mapping code. JSX is an instant solution, and removes the error-prone tedium of writing and mantaining externalization code by hand.
Version restrictions:
- 30 days trial
You should you buy JSX if:
- JSX costs less than reinventing and maintaining your own solution in-house
- JSX meets your needs better than alternative products
- you need a proven solution that definitely works
- you need it today
- you need the intellectual property rights assurance of an IP indemnity
If JSX is not what you need, then you should stop using it after 30 days and delete it from your system.
