Xtacy, a Graphics Hack for X11 windows
--------------------------------------
"Wow! This is better than snorting caffeine!" --Neil Braun
Xtacy is a graphics hack which I've been, well, hacking on, for 2 or 3
years now. It's been compiled on DECstations 3100, SGI running IRIX 5.3,
and Linux boxen. I think someone got it running on a Sun once, but it
had problems with the circle draw function, so a couple of the modes
looked quite odd. Not that odd is bad. Just odd.
So what does it do? Xtacy displays bouncing shapes, rotating palettes,
a couple fractals, a kaleidascope, and lots of more stuff.
KMag is a small utility to magnify a part of the screen. KMag is
very useful for people with visual disabilities and for those working
in the fields of image analysis, web development etc.
makeself is a (very small) shell script that makes neat
self-extracting shell scripts, and allows you to specify a "setup"
command to execute upon finishing.
It's sorta like the Windows winzip self-extracting archives.
The Compress::LZO module provides a Perl interface to the LZO
compression library (see "AUTHOR" for details about where to get LZO).
A relevant subset of the functionality provided by LZO is available in
Compress::LZO.
PPMD is a fast archiver with a good compression ratio. It is written for
embedding in user programs mainly it is not intended for immediate use.
Speed and performance improvements of abstract PPM model 1-6 are the main
goal.
Szip performs data compression/decompression. It uses a limited order
sort transform. This transformation is related to the Burrows-Wheeler
transformation used in block sorting compression methods. The
difference is a fast, deterministic behaviour in time at some
compression loss.
Unzoo is a zoo archive extractor written by Martin Schoenert. If unzoo is
called with no arguments, it will first print a summary of the commands and
then prompt for command lines interactively.
Zip is a compression and file packaging utility. It is compatible with
PKZIP 2.04g (Phil Katz ZIP) for MSDOS systems. There is a companion to zip
called unzip (of course) which you can also install from the ports/package
system.
The format used for Garmin maps has, in effect, a maximum size,
meaning that you have to split an .osm file that contains large
well mapped regions into a number of smaller tiles. This program
does that.
Stores information about a FITS header block in an object. Takes an hash with
an array reference as an argument. The array should contain a list of FITS
header cards as input.
