ctioga2 is a full rewrite of ctioga and is meant to replace it completely in a not-so-distant future.

Flexible, command-line-oriented frontend to Gnuplot. Creates plots from data coming in on STDIN or given in a filename passed on the commandline. Various data representations are supported, as is hardcopy output and streaming display of live data.

Fityk is a flexible and portable program for nonlinear fitting of analytical functions (especially peak-shaped) to data (usually experimental data). In other words, for nonlinear peak separation and analysis.

It was developed for analyzing diffraction patterns, but can be also used in other fields, since concepts and operations specific for crystallography are separated from the rest of the program.

Fityk offers various nonlinear fitting methods, subtracting background, calibrating data, easy placement of peaks and changing peak parameters, automation of common tasks with scripts, and much more. The main advantage of the program is flexibility - parameters of peaks can be arbitrarily bound to each other, eg. the width of a peak can be an independent variable, can be the same as the width of another peak or can be given by a complicated - common to all peaks - formula.

libjs-sphinxdoc is necessary for the Javascript stuff in the documentation.

geg is a very simple utility for parsing and plotting 2D-functions, eg f(x) = 3 + sin(x), and much more complicated functions of course. It is written with GTK+ and provides a neat, configurable user interface.

The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.

See Gmsh's reference manual for a more thorough overview of Gmsh's capabilities.

Graph drawing addresses the problem of visualizing structural information by constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic generation of graph drawings has important applications in key technologies such as database design, software engineering, VLSI and network design and visual interfaces in other domains. Situations where these tools might be particularly useful include:

• you would like to restructure a program and first need to understand the relationships between its types, procedures, and source files
• you need to find the bottlenecks in an Internet backbone - not only individual links, but their relationships
• you're debugging a protocol or microarchitecture represented as a finite state machine and need to figure out how a certain error state arises
• you would like to browse a database schema, knowledge base, or distributed program represented graphically
• you would like to see an overview of a collection of linked documents
• you would like to discover patterns and communities of interest in a database of telephone calls or e-mail messages

This package contains the command-line tools.

Gri is an open-source language for scientific graphics programming. It is command-driven, as opposed to point/click. Some users consider Gri similar to LaTeX, since both provide extensive power as a reward for tolerating a learning curve. The output is industry-standard PostScript as output, suitable for inclusion in other documents.

Gri can make x-y graphs, contour graphs, and image graphs. Fine control is provided over all aspects of drawing, e.g. line widths, colors, fonts, etc. Greek letters and mathematical symbols are available in a TeX-like syntax.

Folks who write 1000-line Gri scripts usually start with something as simple as the following:

  open file.dat        # open a file
  read columns x * y   # read the 1st column as x and the 3rd as y
  draw curve           # draw the data and autoscale the axes

A full manual is also available in HTML (gri-html-doc package), in PDF suitable for printing (gri-pdf-doc package) and on-line by following links from the gri home page:

This interface allows gnuplot to be controlled from C++ and is designed to be the lowest hanging fruit. In other words, if you know how gnuplot works it should only take 30 seconds to learn this library. Basically it is just an iostream pipe to gnuplot with some extra functions for pushing data arrays and getting mouse clicks. Data sources include STL containers (eg. vector or map) and one or two dimensional Blitz++ arrays (of scalars or TinyVectors). Support for other data sources should be easy to add.

Basically there are two functions defined: send() sends arrays of data values (it is overloaded to do the right thing based upon what type of variable you pass) and getMouse() gets the position of a mouse click. Everything else is accomplished by sending commands manually to gnuplot via the iostream interface.

Under the hood, ParaView uses the Visualization Toolkit as the data processing and rendering engine and has a user interface written using Qt.

PDL gives standard perl the ability to COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data arrays which are the bread and butter of scientific computing. The idea is to turn perl in to a free, array-oriented, numerical language in the same sense as commercial packages like IDL and MatLab. One can write simple perl expressions to manipulate entire numerical arrays all at once. For example, using PDL the perl variable $a can hold a 1024x1024 floating point image, it only takes 4Mb of memory to store it and expressions like $a=sqrt($a)+2 would manipulate the whole image in a few seconds.

A simple interactive shell (perldl) is provided for command line use together with a module (PDL) for use in perl scripts.
