Here you have the new release of `poster', to scale postscript
images to a larger size, and print them on larger media and/or
tile them to print on multiple sheets.
With respect to the earlier release:
- support is added for foreign (Non European A*) media sizes.
- options for scaling became more flexible
- original restrictions on white margins in your drawing are removed.
For a complete explanation see the accompanying manual.
LGrind is a descendant of the Unix utility vgrind. It is
used to produce a beautified version of your source code using LaTeX. Unlike
other packages this is not pure TeX but an external preprocessor. You run e.g.
lgrind example.c > example.tex
latex example.tex
to get a complete listing. Options for producing includable files and pro-
cessing embedded listings in LaTeX texts are provided.
TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
variety of environments.
Drivers currently exist for the following graphics languages:
AutoCad slide, BOX, (E)EPIC macros, LaTeX picture environment,
PIC, PiCTeX, PNG, PostScript, Encapsulated Postscript, GIF,
IBM-GL, JPEG, PCX, MF (METAFONT), TeXtyl, TIFF, TPIC, XBM (X11
Bitmap), XPM (X11 Pixmap), and TK (tcl/tk). Fig2dev can be
configured with a subset of these drivers.
The portless utility is a small shell script which lets FreeBSD users
quickly browse port descriptions given the port's name or a
glob. Basically to view the descriptions of GCC (related) ports you
simply type
portless gcc\*
and it will display all descriptions of the gcc* ports.
There are options to display the port's postinstall message or
Makefile too. A manpage is included.
ITK is an open-source software toolkit for performing registration and
segmentation. Segmentation is the process of identifying and classifying
data found in a digitally sampled representation. Typically the sampled
representation is an image acquired from such medical instrumentation as
CT or MRI scanners. Registration is the task of aligning or developing
correspondences between data. For example, in the medical environment,
a CT scan may be aligned with a MRI scan in order to combine the
information contained in both.
Parallel-NetCDF is a library providing high-performance I/O while still
maintaining file-format compatibility with Unidata's NetCDF. NetCDF gives
scientific programmers a space-efficient and portable means for storing data.
However, it does so in a serial manner, making it difficult to achieve high I/O
performance. By making some small changes to the API specified by NetCDF, we can
use MPI-IO and its collective operations.
PsychoPy is an open-source package for creating psychology stimuli in
Python (A real and free alternative to Matlab). PsychoPy combines the
graphical strengths of OpenGL with the easy Python syntax to give
psychophysics a free and simple stimulus presentation and control
package.
The goal is to provide, for the busy scientist, tools to control timing
and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods. The
code is platform independent, using Python and C libraries that are
widely available.
Voro++ is a software library for carrying out three-dimensional computations
of the Voronoi tessellation. A distinguishing feature of the Voro++ library
is that it carries out cell-based calculations, computing the Voronoi cell
for each particle individually. It is particularly well-suited for
applications that rely on cell-based statistics, where features of Voronoi
cells (eg. volume, centroid, number of faces) can be used to analyze a
system of particles.
KeePassX is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps you
to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your
passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a
key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or
insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are
encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently
known (AES and Twofish).
