Babl is a dynamic, any to any, pixel format conversion library. It provides conversions between the myriad of buffer types images can be stored in. Babl doesn't only help with existing pixel formats, but also facilitates creation of new and uncommon ones.

Mp3stat is a utility to read information about MP3's and OGG's bitstream. More specifically, how certain bitrates have been placed in the bitstream by the encoder. Not only does mp3stat give you a graphical representation of the average bitrate per 1/500th of the file in, a linear bar graph to allow you to compare encoders and settings, it also has a batch file mode. The batch file mode allows you to use mp3stat as a script utility instead of GUI, for use in your own programs and or scripts. The batch mode can be extended trivially to give just as much info as the GUI version, but now defaults to configurable output of 3 pieces of info; name, runtime, and average bitrate. The batch mode can take MP3's, and OGG's in the same directory, but it cannot (yet at least) recursively run into subdirectories -- this will be possible in the next version, arriving soon.

PEAR::XML_Serializer serializes complex data structures like arrays or object as XML documents. This class helps you generating any XML document you require without the need for DOM. Furthermore this package can be used as a replacement to serialize() and unserialize() as it comes with a matching XML_Unserializer that is able to create PHP data structures (like arrays and objects) from XML documents, if type hints are available. If you use the XML_Unserializer on standard XML files, it will try to guess how it has to be unserialized. In most cases it does exactly what you expect it to do. Try reading a RSS file with XML_Unserializer and you have the whole RSS file in a structured array or even a collection of objects, similar to XML_RSS. Since version 0.8.0 the package is able to treat XML documents similar to the simplexml extension of PHP 5.

libarena is a custom memory allocator interface and implementation. Four allocators are provided: flat LIFO arena allocator, object pool allocator and two malloc(3) wrappers: one which returns the pointers unadulterated and one which obeys the requested, arbitrary alignment. These can be used directly, or through their exported prototype interfaces. libarena is meant to provide a baseline interface so allocators can be stacked, and to provide a simple and well defined interface for libraries and applications without becoming mired in features or capabilities. It is not meant to restrict or confine what custom allocators can actually accomplish. For instance, the included pool and arena allocators include a suite of string utilities which aren't available in the generic exportable interface. Note that these string utilities are built upon a generic interface (see util.h) which can take the prototypical allocation context, so they are also available to any 3rd party compatible allocators.

A perl module that is designed to provide easy to use settings files for your project. You subclass the basic Config::Setting class in one of your own modules, and then provide an interface to your code using it. When set up, you can then override the settings on a per-host basis, or even using an environment variable. By default a win.ini style of configuration is used, but this can be overridden and an XML based configuration is also included. The access mechanism can also be overridden, the setting don't have to come from a file, but (maybe) from a web site. You'll have to write your own there, though.

If you've ever tried to use Test::NoWarnings to confirm there are no warnings generated by your tests, combined with the convenience of done_testing to not have to declare a test count, you'll have discovered that these two features do not play well together, as the test count will be calculated before the warnings test is run, resulting in a TAP error. (See examples/test_nowarnings.pl in this distribution for a demonstration.) This module is intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for Test::NoWarnings: it also adds an extra test, but runs this test before done_testing calculates the test count, rather than after. It does this by hooking into done_testing as well as via an END block. You can declare a plan, or not, and things will still Just Work.

Chroma is an abstract puzzle game. A variety of colourful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet gradually becoming difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds. It features: * twenty one levels, ranging from beginner to expert * infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replay of solutions * a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version * a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles * released under an open source licence, free to play Have you got what it takes to solve Chroma?

gSculpt is an open source, procedural subdivision modeller. It has a comprehensive set of polygon modelling tools, including most of those found in Wings 3D, and more. Workflow and speed of use are important design goals in the development of gSculpt. Pre-selection highlighting throughout the program, and keyboard short cuts ensure that the workflow is fast and efficient, while providing access to a powerful procedural system which allows mistakes to be rectified easily. Its procedural modelling system makes it an excellent choice for making modelling tutorials, as the steps required to build the model from the beginning are displayed to the user in a list. This list can be navigated easily, allowing a user to view the process one step at a time, at their own pace, while being able too look at the model from all angles as they go. gSculpt can import and export Wavefront Object (.obj) model files.

The Graphics Transformation Languages is a set of libraries for using and integrating transformation algorithms (such as filter or color conversion) in graphics applications. The goal is to provide the tools, languages and libraries to create generic transformation for graphics. Those transformations could then be used by different programs (Krita, The Gimp, CinePaint, gegl...). Currently the focus is on developing two languages, designed for two different implementations. - OpenCTL which is a GPL compatible of the Color Transformation Language, this language is dedicated at transforming the value of a single pixel (for instance brightness adjustement or desaturate). CTL is designed to be part of the Color Management process. - OpenShiva is inspired by Adobe's Hydra language from the AIF Toolkit, Shiva is a language that apply a kernel-like transformations on an image, that means it works using more than one pixel.

This a thumbnail maker. Thumbnails are smaller versions of the original image/graphic/picture and are used for preview purposes, where bigger images can take a long time to load. They are also used in image galleries to preview a lot of images at a time. This module also has the capability to add information strips about the original image. Original image's size (in bytes) and resolution & mime type can be added to the thumbnail's upper and lower parts. This feature can be useful for web software (image galleries or forums). This is a Yet Another type of module. There are several other thumbnail modules on CPAN, but they simply don't have the features I need, so this module is written to increase the thumbnail population on CPAN. The module can raise an exception if something goes wrong. So, you may have to use an eval block to catch them.
