Terraform provides a common configuration to launch infrastructure - from
physical and virtual servers to email and DNS providers. Once launched,
Terraform safely and efficiently changes infrastructure as the configuration is
evolved. Simple file based configuration gives you a single view of your entire
infrastructure.
This module abstracts the task of displaying HTML to the user. The displaying is
done by launching a browser and navigating it to either a temporary file with
the HTML stored in it, or, if possible, by pushing the HTML directly into the
browser window.
Clig generates C code to take apart the typical command-line arguments
given to a C program. Input to clig is a simple description file that
specifies the name and number of options, their type (Flag, String,
Float, Int) and permissible range, and which options are mandatory. From
this, clig will generate self-contained C code to include in your program,
a usage message, and a manual page skeleton.
Clig does a lot more than getopt!
This package provides a set of helper programs necessary to build the
Gtk2Hs suite of libraries. These tools include a modified c2hs binding
tool that is used to generated FFI declarations, a tool to build a type
hiearchy that mirrors the C type hiearchy of GObjects found in glib, and
a generator for signal declarations that are used to call back from C to
Haskell. These tools are not needed to actually run Gtk2Hs programs.
Qt is a C++ toolkit for application development. It lets application
developers target all major operating systems with a single application
source code.
Qt provides a platform-independent API to all central platform functionality:
GUI, database access, networking, file handling, etc. The Qt library
encapsulates the different APIs of different operating systems, providing
the application programmer with a single, common API for all operating systems.
The native C APIs are encapsulated in a set of well-designed, fully
object-oriented C++ classes.
Springgraph will read in a .dot file description of a graph, which, for each
node, specifies its name and which other nodes it is connected to, and then
renders a graph. Each node is drawn as an ellipse, and each connection is
drawn as an arrow. The node placement is a result of all of the nodes moving
away from each other, while all nodes which are connected move toward each
other. This movement is repeated until it stabilizes.
Springgraph was written as an alternative to neato, which is part of graphviz.
It attempts to read the same .dot files used by graphviz, but currently only
supports a limited number of node attributes (label and fillcolor). I am open
to requests for support for more graph/node/edge attributes.
Mitsuba is a research-oriented rendering system in the style of PBRT, from
which it derives much inspiration. It is written in portable C++, implements
unbiased as well as biased techniques, and contains heavy optimizations
targeted towards current CPU architectures. Mitsuba is extremely modular: it
consists of a small set of core libraries and over 100 different plugins that
implement functionality ranging from materials and light sources to complete
rendering algorithms.
In comparison to other open source renderers, Mitsuba places a strong emphasis
on experimental rendering techniques, such as path-based formulations of
Metropolis Light Transport and volumetric modeling approaches. Thus, it may
be of genuine interest to those who would like to experiment with such
techniques that haven't yet found their way into mainstream renderers, and it
also provides a solid foundation for research in this domain.
Mitsuba comes with a command-line interface as well as a graphical frontend to
interactively explore scenes. While navigating, a rough preview is shown that
becomes increasingly accurate as soon as all movements are stopped. Once a
viewpoint has been chosen, a wide range of rendering techniques can be used to
generate images, and their parameters can be tuned from within the program.
hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of
a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank
files, edit those patches via a built-in editor or MIDI sys-ex
messages (ALSA systems only), and recreate the sound of the DX7 with
greater accuracy than any previous open-source emulation (that the
author is aware of....)
hexter operates as a plugin for the DSSI Soft Synth Interface.
DSSI is a plugin API for software instruments (soft synths) with user
interfaces, permitting them to be hosted in-process by audio applications.
This package implements a PerlIO layer, that adds read / write
timeout. This can be useful to avoid blocking while accessing a
handle (file, socket, ...), and fail after some time.
The timeout is implemented by using <select> on the handle before
reading/writing.
WARNING the handle won't timeout if you use sysread or syswrite on
it, because these functions works at a lower level. However if
you're trying to implement a timeout for a socket, see IO::Socket::Timeout
that implements exactly that.
Date::Leapyear is a Perl module which exports one function: isleap(),
which returns a 1 or 0 if the year is a leap year or not, respectively.
