gkrellmoon is a moon clock plugin for Gkrellm2. This plugin is based
upon the glunarclock and wmMoonClock applications.
The port is based on the original gkrellmoon port for Grellm1 by Patrick Li.
GPS Manager (GPSMan) is a graphical manager of GPS data that
makes possible the preparation, inspection and edition of GPS data in
a friendly environment. GPSMan supports communication and real-time
logging with both Garmin and Lowrance receivers and accepts real-time
logging information in NMEA from any GPS receiver.
Xphoon sets X the root window to a picture of the moon in its current phase.
jday and j2d are command line utilities to convert calendar dates
to astronomical julian dates, and julian dates to calendar dates.
There is a corresponding library libjday.a which can be used for
the same functionality within applications.
libnova is a general purpose, double precision, astronomical calculation
library. The intended audience of libnova is C / C++ programmers, astronomers
and anyone else interested in calculating positions of astronomical objects.
This program draws the Solar System's bodies in simulated 3-dimensionality.
You can view all the planets, their moons and a few spaceships in motion,
trace them, follow them, orbit them, and even control them.
OpenUniverse was formerly known as Solar System Simulator (Ssystem). It was
initially released in 1997 with the intent of creating a rotating display of
the Earth on a mainstream PC. Ssystem version 1.0 was only aware of the
planets. Version 1.2 added moons; and 1.6, more means of movement and
better textures.
The program has been renamed OpenUniverse 1.0 to underline the concept
behind its further development: openness for the whole Universe, not just
the solar system -- open for anyone to use, extend, and change.
PP3 creates celestial charts. It generates resolution independent maps of very
high graphical quality. They can be used for example as illustrations in books
or on web pages. You may use own databases or free ones from the Internet.
astLib is a set of Python modules that provides some tools for research
astronomers. It can be used for astronomical plots, some statistics,
common calculations, coordinate conversions, and manipulating FITS images
with World Coordinate System (WCS) information through PyWCSTools - a
simple wrapping of WCSTools by Doug Mink. PyWCSTools is distributed (and
developed) as part of astLib.
This program generates, but does not display, image files containing
raster maps of the Earth. It includes public-domain, vector data from
which they are drawn, describing the continents, bodies of water,
boundaries of countries and U.S. states, and a few cities. Command-line
options allow centering the maps at a particular latitude and longitude
and zooming in.
RoadMap is a program for Linux that displays street maps. The maps are
provided by the US Census Bureau, and thus only cover the US.
RoadMap is at an early stage of development. At this time there are no
routing features implemented yet. RoadMap can only display the map around
a specified street address or follow a GPS device (using gpsd). The plan
for the future is to implement some navigation features similar to those
found in commercial street navigation systems.
RoadMap uses a binary file format for representing the maps that is compact
enough to allow the storage of many maps on a Compact Flash or MultiMedia
card. The map of Los Angeles county takes about 10 Mbytes of flash space.
RoadMap comes with a set of tools to convert the US Census bureau data
into its own map format.
