Graphical Utilities
BaKoMa Fonts for NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP
The list that follows gives a few image utilities and PostScript things that I wrote for my own purposes. They are available in source form.
See the separate entry under NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP.
Summary:The CGT (Clinical Guidance Tree) project developed a notation and tools for decision trees in healthcare. The main tool developed by this project was the CGT Viewer. Note that this tool was not developed by the author - it is provided here as a courtesy by the CGT team. Because of dependencies on Microsoft Visual J++, the code is provided only in binary form for Microsoft Windows.
The original work on CGT has been generalised and extended on the AD/IT project (Abstract Decision/Interactive Trees). See the AD/IT home page for an overview of this.
Needs: Microsoft Windows XP
Usage: See README file
Source: Obtain cgt-2.9.exe by http (the download is over 13MB)
Summary:Chive (Cress Home-grown Interactive Visual Editor) is a dedicated graphical editor designed to create service diagrams for use by Cress (Communication Representation Employing Systematic Specification). See the Cress home page for an overview of Cress.
Needs: JVM (to run) or JDK (to modify/recompile) - version 1.6 or later
Usage: See README file (on SourceForge)
Source: Obtain cresstools-1.0.zip (from SourceForge)
Summary:Cress (Communication Representation Employing Systematic Specification) is a graphical notation and toolset for specifying, analysing and implementing service specifications. It has been used for DS (Device Services), GS (Grid Services), IN (Intelligent Network), IVR (Interactive Voice Response), SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and WS (Web Services). See the Cress home page for an overview of Cress. Be aware that this is an extremely complex toolset and that the author will be able to give no or very limited technical help with it.
Needs:
- a Unix-like environment (e.g. CygWin on Windows or Linux)
- Perl and (in a few places) sh
- Apache Tomcat for use with BPEL/WSDL specifications
- ActiveBPEL for use with BPEL/WSDL specifications
- Globus Toolkit for use with GS specifications
- JVM (to run) or JDK (to modify/recompile GS/WS components)
- SER (SIP Express Router) for use with CPL
- Lola/Topo or CADP for use with Lotos
- Nuance V-Builder for use with VoiceXML
- Telelogic Tau SDL Suite for use with SDL/MSC
Usage: See README file (on SourceForge)
Source: Obtain cresstools-1.0.zip (from SourceForge)
Summary:IPCamera retrieves images from an IP Camera such as the Tenvis JPT3815W and Tenvis TH661 IP cameras (webcams), but may work with similar models by the same and other manufacturers. Additional code is provided to create web pages statically and dynamically.
Needs: JDK (to modify/recompile the core program). Optionally needs Perl to run complementary scripts, and Perl CGI support for dynamic web pages. Video capture requires VLC.
Usage: See README file
Source: Obtain ipcamera-3.0.zip by http
Summary:This type 3 (user-defined) PostScript font contains all the signal flags normally used in sailing (racing). The font is supplied in NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP format, i.e. it contains an outline file and an AFM (Adobe Font Metric) file. It may be possible to use these files on other platforms (e.g. MS Windows, MacOS, Linux), though I do not (yet) know how to do this.
Needs: PostScript
Usage: See README file
Source: Obtain flag-font.zip by http
Summary:TerraWiz (Landscape Generation Wizard for Terragen) that helps to create simple landscapes using Terragen 2 (Terrain Generator - Version 2). Although TerraWiz achieves much less than Terragen, it helps beginners to create interesting landscapes without having to learn too much. The landscapes created by TerraWiz can also be used as a starting point for more complex effects with Terragen.
Needs: JVM (to run) or JDK (to modify/recompile) - version 1.6 or later; also needs Terragen 2
Usage: See README file
Source: Obtain terrawiz-1.0.zip by http
There are many public domain and shareware PostScript fonts/utilities available on the archives. You might also wish to visit Adobe for AFM files, some free fonts and other utilities.
