XTL is a library of template classes and functions for reading/writing
structured data to/from an external (platform independent) representation.
This process is also usually known as marshalling, serialization or pickling,
and is useful both for heterogeneous network programming and portable
persistent storage.
Currently, XTL supports XDR (Internet standard), GIOP CDR (CORBA standard)
and readable ascii text (write-only) as data formats. Memory buffers and C++
iostreams are usable as data sources/targets. Besides the usual C data types
(basic, structs, pointers, unions), the XTL also supports C++ constructs,
such as pointers to base classes and template types, namely, STL containers.
XTL does not include any kind of IDL, and as such, the programmer is required
to write a "filter" for each data type. The API is somewhat modeled on the
original XDR library by Sun, in that the same filter is used for both reading
and writing. However, heavy usage of templates makes the API simpler and type
safe. Function inlining and careful avoidance of pointers or virtual
functions, also make generated code faster.
The Doomsday Engine is an enhanced DOOM source port for Windows, Mac OS
X, and various Unix platforms. It is based on the source code of id
Software's DOOM and Raven Software's Heretic and Hexen.

UNIX-Connect kann sehr vielseitig eingesetzt werden. Entwickelt wurde
es, um ein Unix-System als Server im Z-NETZ (im alten Sinne) einsetzen
zu koennen. Nebeneffekt ist die Gateway-Funktion. Gerade die Gateway-Routinen
sind relativ gut portabel (ANSI-C ohne wesentliche UNIX-Einfluesse), und daher
bereits auf anderen Computertypen realisiert worden. Bei den Online-Routinen
ist das schwieriger, aber nicht unmoeglich.
UNIX-Connect kann auch als Point benutzt werden - also um am heimischen
Linux-System die Nachrichten aus der Z-NETZ MailBox vor Ort im ELM oder NN
zu lesen. Dieser Einsatzmoeglichkeit widmet die Dokumentation ein eigenes
Kapitel, da hierbei sehr viele Konfigurationsprobleme von vornherein
vermieden werden koennen.

Deegree is a Java Framework offering the main building blocks for
Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). Its entire architecture is
developed using standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and
ISO Technical Committee 211-Geographic information/Geoinformatics
(ISO/TC 211). deegree encompasses OGC Web Services as well as clients.
deegree is Free Software protected by the GNU Lesser General Public
License (GNU LGPL) and is accessible at http://www.deegree.org.
Deegree's Web Catalogue Service implementation (Catalogue Service - Web
profile, therefore CS-W) is able to serve different metadata formats in
parallel based on the same physical datastore. This is possible because
deegree CS-W uses XSLT processing to transform requests as well as
responses into the desired format. deegree CS-W does not contain its a
data access modul of its own. It uses an OGC WFS (at the moment limited
to deegree WFS) as datasource. So in future it will be possible to use
deegree CS-W on top of any other OGC compliant WFS to offer catalogue
functionalities.
The icoutils are a set of program for extracting and converting images in
Microsoft Windows(R) icon and cursor files. These files usually have the
extension .ico or .cur, but they can also be embedded in executables and
libraries (.dll-files).
The icotool program converts icon and cursor files into a set of PNG images.
(Each icon/cursor file may contain multiple images, usually of different
sizes and with different number of colors.) Icotool can also create
icon/cursor files from PNG images.
The wrestool program can extract both icons and cursors from 32-bit ("PE")
and 16-bit ("NE") executables and libraries. It writes .ico and .cur files
that can be used on Windows(R) operating systems as well. Other types of
embedded resourced can be extracted, however only in raw form -- icons and
cursors require additional conversion before they can be saved as icon and
cursor files.
The extresso script automates the tasks of extracting and converting icons.
This is done with the help of of special resource scripts. The purpose of
these scripts are to give names to the icons in the executables and
libraries.
This is the Image Compiler, which generates images from textual description.
Most important features include:
- Does not need display to run
- Can be run from the command line or as CGI script. In the latter case,
the image is output to the browser (in PNG or JPEG format)
- The size of the output image is automatically determined, no size has to
be specified (although you can give a fixed size
- Coordinates are in pixels, only positive coordinates are visible. Angles
are in integer degrees, no limitations (except the maximum integer limit).
Colors can be specified in one of three formats, including X11 color
(rgb) strings
- A pre-processor can be applied on the input file first; simple
arithmetic can be performed
- Supports commands for drawing lines, circles (filled or not), rectangles
(filled or not), ellipses (filled or not), arcs, and text. Images can
also be imported. For text and images an alignment parameter is
available, and text and images can be rotated over any angle and can
also be mirrored
GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing. Comprised of 267K
physical lines (according to David A. Wheeler's SLOCCount) of source code in the
base package (or 1,225K including 3rd party libraries) it provides a robust and
efficient collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and
manipulating an image in over 88 major formats including important formats like
DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PNM, and TIFF.
GraphicsMagick supports huge images and has been tested with gigapixel-size
images. GraphicsMagick can create new images on the fly, making it suitable for
building dynamic Web applications. GraphicsMagick may be used to resize, rotate,
sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save the result in
the same or different image format. Image processing operations are available
from the command line, as well as through C, C++, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl,
Ruby, Windows .NET, or Windows COM programming interfaces. With some
modification, language extensions for ImageMagick may be used.
Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Previously, it was only possible

Gnash supports extending ActionScript by creating your own. You
can write wrappers for any development library, and import them
into the player.
LuxRender is a physically based and unbiased rendering engine. Based on
state of the art algorithms, LuxRender simulates the flow of light according
to physical equations, thus producing realistic images of photographic
quality. Some of the main features of LuxRender are:
* biased and unbiased rendering: Users can choose between physical
accuracy (unbiased) and speed (biased);
* full spectral rendering: Instead of the RGB colour spectrum, full
spectra are used for internal calculations;
* hierarchical procedural and image based texture system: Procedural and
image based textures can be mixed in various ways, making it possible to
create complex materials;
* displacement mapping and subdivision: Based on procedural or image
textures, object surfaces can be transformed;
* network and co-operative rendering: Rendering time can be reduced by
combining the processing power of multiple computers;
* perspective (including shift lens), orthographic, and environment
cameras;
* HDR output: Render output can be saved in various file formats,
including .png, .tga, and .exr.
Fully functional exporters are available for Blender and Maya, while
exporters for a growing number of 3D applications are under development.
Gnuplot is a portable multi-platform command-line driven graphing utility. It
was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize
mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many
non-interactive uses such as web scripting. It is also used as a plotting engine
by third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under
active development since 1986.
Gnuplot supports many types of plots in either 2D or 3D. It can draw using
lines, points, boxes, contours, vector fields, surfaces, and various associated
text. It also supports various specialized plot types. Gnuplot supports many
different types of output: interactive screen terminals (with mouse and hotkey
input), direct output to pen plotters or modern printers, and output to many
file formats (eps, emf, fig, jpeg, LaTeX, pdf, png, postscript, ...). Gnuplot is
easily extensible to include new output modes. Recent additions include
interactive terminals based on wxWidgets (usable on multiple platforms), and Qt.
Mouseable plots embedded in web pages can be generated using the svg or HTML5
canvas terminal drivers.
