GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to
another, whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme,
Streets and Trips, or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit
such as those from Garmin and Magellan. By flattening the Tower of
Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data
have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to freely move our
own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we choose to use.
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a
convenient for server-side processing or as the backend for other
tools.
It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We process
data that may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints,
tracks, and routes.
GraphicsMagick(TM) provides a powerful image manipulation
andtranslation utility. It is capable of displaying still images and
animations using the X Window system which provides a simple interface
forinteractively editing images, and is capable of importing selected
windows or the entire desktop. GraphicsMagick is one of your choices if
you need a program to manipulate and display images.It can read and
write over 88 image formats, including JPEG, TIFF, WMF, SVG, PNG, PNM,
GIF, andPhoto CD. Besides it allows you to resize, rotate, sharpen,
color reduce, or add special effects to an image and to save the result
to any supported format. GraphicsMagick may be used to create animated
or transparent .gifs, to composite images, to create thumbnail images
and a lot more. If you want to develop your own applications which use
GraphicsMagick code or APIs, you need to install GraphicsMagick-devel
as well.
This package is compiled with Q8, which means that it provides better
performance on 8 bit images and less.
Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but
includes many graphical improvements and new game features. In it, you
must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect powerups while
avoiding obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even your own trail.
Several modes of play are available, including "get-all-the-bonuses",
death match, and "squish-the-pedestrians".
The hp2xx program is a versatile tool for converting vector graphics
data given in Hewlett-Packard's HP-GL plotter language into a variety
of popular graphics formats, both vector and raster.
IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) is full-featured, Gtk-based control panel
for IceWM. It is meant to run in IceWM, but can be used in ANY window
manager as a general-purpose control panel.
ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read,
write, and manipulate an image in many image formats, including popular
formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick,
you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web
applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color-reduce, or
add special effects to an image and save your completed work in many
different image formats. Image processing operations are available from
the command line as well as through C, C++, and PERL-based programming
interfaces.
Converts bitmap images in the formats PNG, JPEG, and TIFF to
Encapsulated PostScript Level 1, 2, or 3. It supports the native
PostScript filters ASCIIHex, ASCII85, DCT, LZW, Flate, and RunLength.
Tools for converting Pilot Image Viewer pdb files to and from Portable
Graymaps and Portable Bitmaps. The tools support grayscale and
monochrome images with or without compression and with or without
notes.
If you are looking for a cool (and free) image viewer for your Pilot,
you should look at TinyViewer (http://www.righto.com/pilot/tv.html).
This is an RIP/SAP daemon for Linux. With this daemon, you can turn
your Linux machine into an IPX router.
This package contains an implementation of the image compression
standard, JPEG-2000, Part 1. It consists of tools for conversion to and
from the JP2 and JPC formats.
Software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG
(pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for
full-color and grayscale images. JPEG is intended for compressing
"real-world" scenes (most of the time these are pictures that have been
scanned-in with a scanner or taken with a digital camera). Cartoons and
other nonrealistic images are not its strong suit. It should be noted
that JPEG output is not necessarily the same as its input. If this is a
factor for you, do not use it. With typical real-world scenes, JPEG can
achieve high compression rates without noticeable differences. If you
can accept pictures of lower quality, JPEG can achieve amazingly high
compression rates.
There are some library functions available for reading and writing JPEG
files. The 'cjpeg' and 'djpeg' applications use the library to make
conversions between JPEG and other popular graphic file formats
possible. The JPEG library is meant to be used within other
applications.
Cjpeg compresses the input file, or standard input if no filename is
given, and produces a JPEG/JFIF file as standard output. Currently
supported input file formats include: PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM
(PBMPLUS Grayscale format), BMP, GIF, Targa, and RLE (Utah Raster
Toolkit Format) (RLE is only supported if the RLE library is
available). Djpeg decompresses a JPEG file into one of the above
mentioned formats.
KScope is a KDE front-end to Cscope. It provides a source-editing
environment for large C projects, such as the Linux kernel.
This library can handle MNG and JNG formats that contain animated
pictures. These formats should replace the GIF format.
Library for reading PhotoCD images.

The purpose of libsmi is to
* Give network management applications a concise programmer-friendly
interface to access MIB module information
* Separate the knowledge on SMI from the main parts of management
applications
* Allow addition of new kinds of MIB repositories without the need to
adapt applications that make use of libsmi
This library interprets metafile images and can either display them
using the X Window System or convert them to standard formats such as
PNG, JPEG, PS, EPS, and more.
RPC server that supports ONC clients on PC (DOS, OS/2, Macintosh, and
other) systems.
Midnight Commander is a Norton Commander clone, a program that
manipulates and manages files and directories. It is useful, fast, and
has color display on the Linux console. It also has mouse support if
you run the gpm mouse server. This program requires the terminal
description files in /usr/lib/terminfo, which are found in ncurses.rpm
(the essential ones) or terminfo.rpm (the rest).
You can also use Midnight Commander under the X Window System with your
mouse. If you enter 'mc -c', colors are used.
In Midnight Commander, the screen is divided into four sections: The
majority of the screen is covered by two directory panels. The second
to last line on the screen is the shell command line. The last line
displays the function key assignments. At the very top, the menu list
is shown. One of the directories displayed is the current working
directory. This is where most of the commands are found. For certain
commands, like copy and move, the second directory is used as the
target directory.
MagicPoint is an X Window System presentation tool. It is designed to
make simple presentations easy while making complicated presentations
possible. Its presentation file (the suffix is typically .mgp) is plain
text so that you can create presentation files quickly with your
favorite editor (Emacs, for example). The package also includes the
tools mgp2html, mgp2ps, and mgp2latex, which convert mgp presentations
into other file formats.
This program shows the status of the physical and logical drives
attached to a LSI 1030 RAID (mptlinux, fusion, mpt, ioc) controller.
The latest version of the Portable Bitmap Plus Utilities. This large
package, which is by now available for all hardware platforms, provides
tools for graphics conversion. Using these tools, images can be
converted from virtually any format into any other format. A few of the
supported formats include: GIF, PC-Paintbrush, IFF ILBM, Gould Scanner
file, MTV ray tracer, Atari Degas .pi1 and .pi3, Macintosh PICT, HP
Paintjet file, QRT raytracer, AUTOCAD slide, Atari Spectrum (compressed
and uncompressed), Andrew Toolkit raster object, and many more. On top
of that, man pages are included for all tools.
GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program based on a feature
extraction method. It reads images in pbm (bitmap), pgm (greyscale) or ppm
(color) formats and produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats.
Also includes a layout analyser able to separate the columns or blocks of text
normally found on printed pages.
Ocrad can be used as a stand-alone console application, or as a backend to
other programs.
The PowerDNS Nameserver is a modern, advanced and high performance
authoritative-only nameserver. It is written from scratch and conforms
to all relevant DNS standards documents. Furthermore, PowerDNS
interfaces with almost any database.
PowerDNS Recursor is a non authoritative/recursing DNS server. Use this
package if you need a dns cache for your network.
A photographic camera with a standard CCD sensor is able to acquire an
image with simultaneous dynamic range of not more than 1:1000. The
basic idea to create an image with a higher dynamic range is to combine
multiple images with different exposure settings, thus making use of
available sequential dynamic range.
