MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for
digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the
program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing
up the interface only when you need it.
MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and
ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine
allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural
painting.
Netpbm is a toolkit for conversion of images between a variety of
different formats, as well as to allow a few basic image operations.
Netpbm is based on the widely spread Pbmplus package (release: 10 Dec
91). On top of that, a lot of improvements and additions have been
made. After the latest release of Pbmplus, a lot of additional filters
have been circulating on the net. The aim of Netpbm was, to collect
these and to turn them into a package. This work has been performed by
a group of programmers all over the world.
LablGL is an OpenGL interface for Objective Caml. Since it includes
support for the Togl widget, you can comfortably use it with LablTk.
All of the GL and GLU libraries are available. Read a good book
about how to use these. Translating from OpenGL to LablGL is rather
straightforward: there is a LablGL function for each OpenGL one. For
ease of retrieving, both GL and GLU are cut in smaller modules of
related functions.
Please see ${PREFIX}/share/doc/ocaml/lablgl/README for further information.
GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program implemented
as a filter and based on a feature extraction method. It reads a bitmap
image in pbm format and outputs text in ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) charset.
Also includes a layout analyser able to separate the columns or blocks
of text normally found on printed pages.
It can be used as a stand-alone console application, or as a backend to
other programs.
This port installs section 3 manpages for the OpenGL 3d graphics API so
that they are directly accessable from the man(1) command. Especially
useful for the graphics/Mesa port/package.
Included OpenGL related libraries: gl, glx, glu, gle, glut.
gl, glx and glu are taken from ftp.sgi.com. They carried no version
information. Stored in the same directory at the time I grabbed them
was the OpenGL spec 1.2.1, which may or may not indicate the state of
the manpages. :-/
The gl, glx and glu manpages are unusable when just unpacking them. I
repackaged them so that
- the file name actually is the name of the function, including
gl... etc prefixes and respecting case.
- all filenames end in *.3
- hard links are created so that the man command works for all
functions in a manpage, not just the first one.
gle and glut are taken from the glut-3.7 distribution (where the
Webpage says it is beta, but the distfile name does not). These are
unchanged, but there are currently no hardlinks to secondary functions
names.
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.
Deegree iGeoPortal is the web-based portal framework of deegree. It
offers visualization of geodata through a standard web browser like
Mozilla, Firefox or MSIE.
Optar stands for OPTical ARchiver. It's a codec for encoding data on
paper, then you print it with a laser printer. If you want to read the
recording, scan it with a scanner and feed into the decoder program.
