This package will read and write TIFF format images and return them
as a pixmap object. Because the resulting object can be very large
for even modestly sized TIFF images, images can be reduced as they
are read for improved performance. This package is a wrapper around
libtiff (www.libtiff.org), on which it depends (i.e. the libtiff
shared library must be on your PATH for the binary to work, and
tiffio.h must be on your system to build the package from source).
By using libtiff's highlevel TIFFReadRGBAImage function, this package
inherently support a wide range of image formats and compression
schemes. This package also provides an implementation of the Ridler
Autothresholding algorithm for easy generation of binary masks.
OpenRM Scene Graph is set of tools and utilities that implement a
high performance, flexible and extendible scene graph API. Underneath
OpenRM, OpenGL(tm) is used as the graphics platform for rendering,
so OpenRM is highly portable and can deliver blazing rendering speeds.
OpenRM can be used on any platform that has OpenGL, and has been
built and tested on:
x86 Linux (s/w via Mesa, h/w using vendor drivers, e.g., nVidia)
Irix
Solaris
FreeBSD
Win32 (95/98/NT/2K/ME).
OpenRM is a derivative work of RM Scene Graph (tm), a commercial
scene graph product from R3vis Corporation. Late in 1999, R3vis announced
the release of OpenRM into the Open Source community, with the
OpenRM debut occuring on 1 March 2000. R3vis continues to maintain
and develop RM Scene Graph, which contains additional features not
present in OpenRM.
I could not find a client with the features I was looking for, so yes,
here is yet another IRC client. Here's what makes it different from
others:
* absolutely NO scripting ability.
* termcap based (e.g. fast!).
* emacs-style key bindings
* full ircd 2.9+ support.
* virtual windows a la screen(1).
* multi server support.
* non blocking TCP connections.
* basic support for multi-homed systems.
* everything goes and stays in the lastlog.
* convenient scrolling (with searching abilities) in the lastlog.
* 10 display filters! (2 ignore features are based on this).
* highly customizable. (format strings, filters..)
* customization possible at every level (channel, window, server..).
* non blocking DNS lookups (A and PTR records).
* "tabkey" style completion for /msg, /squery and public discussion.
* DCC support.
* CTCP support.

renattach is a fast and efficient e-mail stream filter written by Jem
Berkes. It can rename or delete potentially dangerous attachments or
even eliminate entire messages to help sites deal with resource strains
caused by virus floods. Unlike conventional virus scanners, there are no
specific virus or worm definitions. Instead, attachments are classified
based on file extension and executable encoded body content.
Features
- Fast, efficient, lightweight, little overhead, pure C code
- Recognizes both MIME and uuencoded attachments
- Compliant with RFC2047 and RFC2231, handles encoded filenames
- Capable of reading filenames inside ZIP archives, on the fly
- Can rename or delete attachments, or kill entire messages
- Can detect executables that carry DOS/Windows signature
- Supports list of banned filenames (great for handling floods)
- Simple pipe/stream operation; can be used within many filtering systems
- Can be used directly as a content_filter for Postfix MTA
- Can be installed as a local delivery agent for Sendmail MTA
CGAL is a collaborative effort of several sites in Europe and Israel. The goal
is to make the most important of the solutions and methods developed in
computational geometry available to users in industry and academia in a C++
library. The goal is to provide easy access to useful, reliable geometric
algorithms.
The CGAL library contains:
* the Kernel with geometric primitives such as points, vectors, lines,
predicates for testing things such as relative positions of points, and
operations such as intersections and distance calculation.
* the Basic Library which is a collection of standard data structures and
geometric algorithms, such as convex hull in 2D/3D, (Delaunay)
triangulation in 2D/3D, planar map, polyhedron, smallest enclosing
circle, and multidimensional query structures.
* the Support Library which offers interfaces to other packages, e.g., for
visualisation, and I/O, and other support facilities.
numexpr - Fast numerical array expression evaluator for Python and NumPy.
The numexpr package evaluates multiple-operator array expressions many times
faster than NumPy can. It accepts the expression as a string, analyzes it,
rewrites it more efficiently, and compiles it to faster Python code on the fly.
It's the next best thing to writing the expression in C and compiling it with a
specialized just-in-time (JIT) compiler, i.e. it does not require a compiler at
runtime.
Also, numexpr has support for the Intel VML (Vector Math Library) -- integrated
in Intel MKL (Math Kernel Library) --, allowing nice speed-ups when computing
transcendental functions (like trigonometrical, exponentials...) on top of
Intel-compatible platforms. This support also allows to use multiple cores in
your computations.
MPEG TS/PS/ES Transport, Program and Elementary Stream tools
This is a set of cross-platform command line tools for working with
MPEG data. The emphasis is on relatively simple tools which
concentrate on MPEG (H.264 and H.262) data packaged according to
H.222 (i.e., TS or PS), with a particular interest in checking for
conformance. Transport Stream (TS) is typically used for distribution
of cable and satellite data. Program Stream (PS) is typically used
to store data on DVDs.
The tools are focussed on:
* Quick reporting of useful data (tsinfo, stream_type)
* Giving a quick overview of the entities in the stream
(esdots, psdots)
* Reporting on TS packets (tsreport) or ES units/frames/
fields (esreport)
* Simple manipulation of stream data (es2ts, esfilter,
esreverse, esmerge, ts2es)
* Streaming of data, possibly with introduced errors
(tsplay)
The stalepid utility was developed to facilitate the startup of servers
that write their process ID to a file and refuse to start if that file
exists (e.g. when the process was last terminated by an unclean shutdown,
or simply killed without given the chance to clean up the process ID
file). The stalepid utility is used to check for and possibly remove
those stale process ID files. Upon its invocation, stalepid checks for
the following conditions:
- the file specified by the pidfile argument exists;
- it contains a single line, and the line contains a single number;
- there is no process with the process ID specified in the file, or if
there is one, it is not named processname.
If all those conditions are met, the stalepid utility will remove the
file specified by the pidfile argument, thus allowing the next invocation
of the server to proceed normally.
xxdiff is a graphical tool for viewing the differences between two or three
files, or between two directories, and can produce a merged version thereof.
Some of its features:
- Comparing two files, three files, or two directories (shallow and
recursive)
- Horizontal diffs highlighting
- Files can be merged interactively and resulting output visualized
and saved
- Has features to assist in performing merge reviews/policing
- Can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically merged file and display
them as two files, to help resolve conflicts
- Uses external diff program to compute differences: works with GNU
diff, SGI diff and ClearCase's cleardiff, and any other diff whose
output is similar to those
- Fully customizable with a resource file
- Look-and-feel similar to Rudy Wortel's/SGI xdiff; it is desktop
agnostic (i.e. will work equally well with KDE or GNOME)
- Features and output that ease integration with scripts
ClearSilver is a fast, powerful, and language-neutral template system. It is
designed to make it easy to create template driven static or dynamic
websites.
ClearSilver is first and foremost designed to be extremely fast. It is coded
completely in C and exported to your script language of choice (i.e. Python,
Perl). As a result, it is notably faster than template systems written in a
script language. However, its design has additional benefits. It is also one
of the only template systems available which allows you to easily
mix-and-match multiple programming languages with the same templates, even
on the same page. This allows you to optimize your website by writing
C-modules to handle speed-sensitive sections, while leaving the majority of
your site in easy to write script code.
