sam2p is a UNIX command line utility written in ANSI C++ that converts many
raster (bitmap) image formats into Adobe PostScript or PDF files and several
other formats. The images are not vectorized. sam2p gives full control to the
user to specify standards-compliance, compression, and bit depths. In some
cases sam2p can compress an image 100 times smaller than the PostScript output
of many other common image converters. sam2p provides ZIP, RLE and LZW
(de)compression filters even on Level1 devices.
Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Previously, it was only possible
to play flash movies with proprietary software. While there are
some other free flash players, none support anything beyond SWF v4.
Gnash is based on GameSWF, and supports many SWF v7 features.
- Runs standalone
Gnash can run standalone to play flash movies.
- Browser plugin
Gnash can also run as a plugin from within most Mozilla derived
browsers, such as Firefox. Gnash also has support for Konqueror.
- SWF v7+ compliant
Gnash can play many current flash movies.
- Streaming Video
Gnash supports the viewing of streaming video from popular video
sharing sites like Lulu.tv or YouTube.com.
- XML Message server
Gnash also supports an XML based message system as documented in
the Flash Format specification.
- High Quality Output
Gnash uses OpenGL for rendering the graphics on the desktop, and
AntiGrain (AGG) for embedded framebuffer only devices.
- Free Software
Gnash is 100% free software. For more information on the GPL, go
to the Free Software Foundation web site.
- Better Security
Gnash pays extra attention to all network connections, and allows
the user to control access.
- Extensible
Gnash supports extending ActionScript by creating your own. You
can write wrappers for any development library, and import them
into the player.
gThumb is an image viewer and browser for the GNOME Desktop. It also
includes an importer tool for transferring photos from cameras.
CBView is a viewer/converter for CBR/CBZ comic book archives, written with
gtk2-perl.
MegaPOV is a collection of unofficial extensions for the freeware
raytracer POV-Ray. It is maintained by a group of POV-Community
members - the MegaPOV Team. Up-to-date versions and information can
be obtained at the MegaPOV website:
The Mesh Viewer is an easy to use lightweight application to display
triangular meshes from a variety of file formats. It uses the OpenGL API
to render the models. The program was born under the need for quickly
displaying reconstructed triangulated meshes. The Mesh Viewer based on
an idea and an early elementary implementation from Craig Robertson. The
current version was developed by Helmut Cantzler. Triangular meshes can
be displayed texture mapped (optional with bilinear filtering), solid or
as a skeleton (full or just the front lines). The surface normals of the
triangles can be displayed optionally.
Features (from a different data file) like edges and points can be
displayed into the mesh. Loaded models can be rotated, translated and
scaled (all done with the mouse). The model is lighted by multiple light
sources. Viewpoints can be saved. Screenshots of the model can be taken (as
BMP, JPEG, PNG and so on).
Metapixel is a photomosaic generator. It can generate classical
photomosaics, in which the source image is viewed as a matrix
of equally sized rectangles for each of which a matching image
is substituted, as well as collage-style photomosaics, where
the images are placed at arbitrary positions in the source
image, not aligned to a matrix.
Multican is Canon EOS cameras USB remote control utility for 300D, 350D, 30D,
20D, and 5D. Multican allows scripted remote control of multiple cameras; it
is possible to control up to six cameras attached at the same time.
Multican communicates with camera directly, without generic library such as
provided by gPhoto2, and currently has no GUI, which makes it no replacement
for Canon's EOS Utility, but it can be useful nonetheless in various setups,
e.g. for astrophotography.
MozJPEG is a fork of libjpeg-turbo with 'jpgcrush' functionality built in.
This project's goal is to reduce the size of JPEG files without reducing quality
or compatibility with the vast majority of the world's deployed decoders.
The idea is to reduce transfer times for JPEGs on the Web, thus reducing page
load times.
'mozjpeg' is not intended to be a general JPEG library replacement. It makes
tradeoffs that are intended to benefit Web use cases and focuses solely on
improving encoding. It is best used as part of a Web encoding workflow. For a
general JPEG library (e.g. your system libjpeg), especially if you care about
decoding, we recommend graphics/libjpeg-turbo port.
mtPaint is a simple GTK+1/2 painting program designed for creating icons
and pixel based artwork. It can edit indexed palette or 24 bit RGB images
and offers basic painting and palette manipulation tools. It also has
several other more powerful features such as channels, layers and
animation. Due to its simplicity and lack of dependencies it runs well on
GNU/Linux, Windows and older PC hardware.
