Main Features of Sun's SpecTcl 1.1
==================================
Easy to Learn: SpecTcl's drag & drop interface along with a
powerful toolbar and on-line help make it easy
to start building GUI applications.
Tcl and Java Support: SpecTcl generates both Tcl and Java code.
Platform Independent: SpecTcl runs on all major platforms:
Solaris, SunOS, Linux, Windows 95,
Windows NT Server 3.51, Windows NT Workstation 3.51,
MacOS, and Irix.
Constraint Based Alignment and resizing of widgets (buttons,
Geometry Manager: check boxes, etc.) is automatic. This makes
creating dynamic UIs and cross platform UIs a snap!
Gaphor is an easy to use modeling environment. This means that you are
able to create nice UML diagrams for documentation and to assist you
with design decisions. Gaphor will help you create your applications.
Piklab is an integrated development environment (IDE) for applications
based on Microchip PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers similar to the
MPLAB environment.
It integrates with several compiler and assembler toolchains (like
gputils, sdcc, c18) and with the GPSim simulator.
It supports the most common programmers (serial, parallel, ICD2,
Pickit2, PicStart+), the ICD2 debugger, and several bootloaders
(Tiny, Pickit2, and Picdem).
PTypes is a C++ Portable Types Library. It offers the following features:
* Threads and synchronization objects along with message queues solve
the vital problem of diversity of the threading API's on different
platforms.
* IP socket classes and utilities provide complete IP-based framework
for both client-side and server-side programming. They can be
combined with PTypes multithreading.
* Dynamic strings, variants, character sets, date/time type and various
kinds of dynamic and associative arrays: Delphi programmers will find
them very similar to the ones in their favorite language.
* Streaming interfaces provide buffered I/O with simple and powerful text
parsing methods. A strictly defined syntax for the given text format
or a formal language can be represented by calls to PTypes token
extraction methods. The unified streaming interface is applicable to
files, named pipes and network sockets.
* Special thread class with enhanced functionality called unit. Units have
their own main() and input/output 'plugs'; they can be connected to each
other within one application to form pipes, like processes in the Unix shell.
* Finally, everything above is portable: all platform-dependent details
are hidden inside.
Describe your software project with a full-featured scripting language and let
Premake write the build scripts for you. With one file your project can
support both IDE-addicted Windows coders and Linux command-line junkies!
C++ utility for simple IOStream-based Inter-Process Communication
cfgparse is Python module for parsing configuration files.
PyCXX is a set of C++ facilities to make it easier to write Python
extensions. The chief way in which PyCXX makes it easier to write Python
extensions is that it greatly increases the probability that your program
will not make a reference-counting error and will not have to continually
check error returns from the Python C API.
PyCXX integrates Python with C++ in these ways:
- C++ exception handling is relied on to detect errors and clean up. In
a complicated function this is often a tremendous problem when writing
in C. With PyCXX, we let the compiler keep track of what objects need
to be dereferenced when an error occurs.
- The Standard Template Library (STL) and its many algorithms plug and
play with Python containers such as lists and tuples.
- The optional CXX_Extensions facility allows you to replace the clumsy
C tables with objects and method calls that define your modules and
extension objects.
A Python library which provides support for handling directories as described
in the XDG Base Directory and User Folders specifications.
The Abilities of LibRCC Library
===============================
* Language Autodetection
* On the fly translation between languages, using online-services!
* Encoding Autodetection for most of European Languages1
* Support for encoding detection plugins (besides Enca and LibRCD)
* Recoding/translation of multi-language playlists!
* Cache to speed-up re-recoding.
* Possibility to configure new languages and encodings.
* Shared configuration file. For example mentioned TagLib and LibID3 patches
do not have their own user interface, but will utilize the same recoding
configuration as XMMS.
* As well the separate program for configuration adjustment is available.
* GTK/GTK2 UI Library: you can add properties page to your GTK application
with 3 lines of code.
* Menu localization opportunity
