KDE 4 – the Future of the K Desktop KDE 4 – the future of the K Desktop Beside KDE and GNOME, Mandriva 2008.1 contains also the future great evolution of the KDE desktop: KDE 4. The Mandriva 2008.1 is shipped with KDE 4.0.3, which can be seen as a technology preview of what will be the KDE 4 desktop. That’s why KDE 4 is not proposed by default and is not replacing KDE 3.5.9. DE 4 will be a major update of the KDE desktop featuring Kmany new technologies and some radical changes in the KDE underlying infrastructures. KDE 4 is based on Qt 4 which brings many improvements concerning the text handling (Arthur), graphical effects, performances improvements, Web- kit HTML engine integration. Many new infrastructure components have been introduced like Phonon for basic multimedia usage, Solid for hardware interaction and detection, or the new desktop shell Plasma (see Figure 1). For further informations you can visit the KDE 4 dedicated web pages: http://kde.org/announcements/ Figure 1. The default KDE 4 desktop 4.0/guide.php http://kde.org/announcements/ announce-4.0.3.php Installing and testing KDE 4 KDE 4 is provided for testing purposes. You are not supposed to use it as your default desktop. Indeed as this is a technology preview, don’t be surprised if you encounter some crashes or bugs. Installing KDE 4.0.3 Now the first thing to do before testing KDE is... installing KDE 4. Installing KDE 4 under Mandriva is very easy and straightforward. First, all the Man- driva official repositories need to be configured. If this is not already done, you can use the Mandriva Media Ma- nager to do it graphically. If you want Figure 2. Dolphin and KDE 4 gwenview version under GNOME 56 LINUX IDENTITY OFFICE www.linuxidentity.com 57 KDE 4 you can install both KDE 3.5.9 and KDE 4.0.3 without issues. When all the KDE 4 packa- ges are installed, you will be able to select the KDE 4 desk- top entry in the session menu of the display manager. You will be presented with the default KDE 4 desktop with the new panel at the bottom, the Plas- ma launcher at the top right, and some desktop shortcuts. Testing the KDE 4 applications under other desktop environments Once KDE 4 has been installed, you may be willing to test the KDE 4 applications but without having to log in the KDE 4 ses- Figure 3.

To have the full list of KDE 4 Figure 4. New Dolphin file manager application binary names, 58 LINUX IDENTITY OFFICE www.linuxidentity.com 59 you can have a look at /opt/ kde/bin directory. So you will be able to launch KDE 4 applications under other desk- top environments like GNOME (see Figure 2). Discovering the KDE 4 desktop Even if you can test KDE 4 appli- cations without starting a full KDE 4 session, they will show their full power when launched from a complete KDE 4 session. So let’s see what the user can see and do when selecting the KDE 4 session. Figure 5.

Plasma applets can be added also to the panel because the panel is a Plasma container just like the desktop one. So applets like the clock, the workspace switcher, the taskbar, or even the menu button can be added equally to both the workspace or to the panel. Thanks to Webkit support in Qt4, Plasma will be also able to display Mac OS X Dashboard widgets. Plasma aims to provide a very simple but powerful API to ease “plas- moïds” development.

The KDevelop IDE closes this gap and makes it a joy to work within a complete, integrated development environment, combining the use of the GNU standard development tools such as the g++ compiler and the gdb debugger with the advantages of a GUI-based environment that automates all standard actions and allows the developer to concentrate on the work of writing software instead of managing command-line tools. It also offers direct and quick access to source files and docu- mentation. KDevelop primarily aims to provide the best means to rapidly set up and write KDE software; it also supports extended features such as GUI designing and translation in con- junction with other tools available especially for KDE development. The KDevelop IDE itself is published under the GNU Public License (GPL), like KDE, and is therefore publicly avail- able at no cost—including its source code—and it may be used both for free and for commer- cial development.

AVEZ-VOUS BESOIN DE CE LIVRE ? Vous devriez lire ce livre si vous voulez développer pour KDE. Nous utilisons le terme développement très largement pour couvrir tout ce qui peut conduire à un changement dans le code source, ce qui inclut : Soumettre une correction de bogue Écrire une nouvelle application optimisée par la technologie KDE Contribuer à un projet existant Ajouter de la fonctionnalité aux bibliothèques de développement de KDE Dans ce livre, nous vous livrerons les bases dont vous avez besoin pour être un développeur productif. Nous décrirons les outils que vous devrez installer, montrer comment lire la documentation (et écrire la vôtre propre, une fois que vous aurez créé la nouvelle fonctionnalité !) et comment obtenir de l'aide par d'autres moyens. Nous vous présenterons la communauté KDE, qui est essentielle pour comprendre KDE parce que nous sommes un projet « open source », libre (gratuit). Les utilisateurs finaux du logiciel n'ont PAS besoin de ce livre ! Cependant, ils pourraient le trouver intéressant pour les aider à comprendre comment les logiciels complexes et riches en fonctionnalités qu'ils utilisent ont vu le jour. 3 2. LA PHILOSOPHIE DE KDE Le succès de KDE repose sur une vue globale, que nous avons trouvée à la fois pratique et motivante. Les éléments de cette philosophie de développement comprennent : L'utilisation des outils disponibles plutôt que de ré-inventer ceux existants : beaucoup des bases dont vous avez besoin pour travailler font déjà partie de KDE, comme les bibliothèques principales ou les « Kparts », et sont tout à fait au point.

  • Rkward: a Comprehensive Graphical User Interface and Integrated Development Environment for Statistical Analysis with R
    JSS Journal of Statistical Software June 2012, Volume 49, Issue 9. http://www.jstatsoft.org/ RKWard: A Comprehensive Graphical User Interface and Integrated Development Environment for Statistical Analysis with R Stefan R¨odiger Thomas Friedrichsmeier Charit´e-Universit¨atsmedizin Berlin Ruhr-University Bochum Prasenjit Kapat Meik Michalke The Ohio State University Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf¨ Abstract R is a free open-source implementation of the S statistical computing language and programming environment. The current status of R is a command line driven interface with no advanced cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI), but it includes tools for building such. Over the past years, proprietary and non-proprietary GUI solutions have emerged, based on internal or external tool kits, with different scopes and technological concepts. For example, Rgui.exe and Rgui.app have become the de facto GUI on the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms, respectively, for most users. In this paper we discuss RKWard which aims to be both a comprehensive GUI and an integrated devel- opment environment for R. RKWard is based on the KDE software libraries. Statistical procedures and plots are implemented using an extendable plugin architecture based on ECMAScript (JavaScript), R, and XML. RKWard provides an excellent tool to manage different types of data objects; even allowing for seamless editing of certain types. The objective of RKWard is to provide a portable and extensible R interface for both basic and advanced statistical and graphical analysis, while not compromising on flexibility and modularity of the R programming environment itself. Keywords: GUI, integrated development environment, plugin, R.

  • KDE Plasma 5
    Arvo Mägi KDE Plasma 5 Tallinn, 2017 1 Sissejuhatus KDE töökeskkonnale pani aluse saksa programmeerija Matthias Ettrich 14.10.1996. 2016. a oktoobris sai populaarne KDE seega 20. aastaseks. Hea ülevaate KDE ajaloost annab artikkel „19 Years of KDE History: Step by Step.” KDE 4.14 ilmumisega oli KDE saavutanud kasutusküpsuse, kuid edasine areng kippus takerduma – vaja oli põhimõttelisi uuendusi. Otsustati võtta kasutusele iseseisvatel moodulitel põhinev KDE 5 arhitektuur – Qt/Frameworks. Kõik KDE rakendusprogrammid, sh Plasma 5 töölaud, kasutavad ainult konkreetse rakenduse jaoks vajalikke mooduleid. Varem kasutati kõigi rakenduste jaoks ühist suurt teeki, mis raskendas muudatuste tegemist ja pidurdas arendustööd. Qt on C++ programmeerimiskeskkond. Pikaajalise toega Qt 5.9 LTS ilmus 31. mail 2017. KDE Frameworks on 70 moodulist koosnev komplekt, mis lihtsustab Qt keskkonnas KDE programmide koostamist. Frameworks veaparandused ja täiendused ilmuvad iga kuu. KDE Plasma 5 töölaud põhineb KDE Frameworksil (KF5). Töölaua veaparandused ilmuvad iga kuu, vajadusel mitu korda kuus, uued versioonid kord kvartalis. Plasma 5.8 LTS, mis on pikaajalise toega (18 kuud), ilmus 4.10.2016, veidi enne KDE 20. aastaseks saamist. Plasma 5.10 ilmus 30.05.2017. Järgmine pikaajalise toega Plasma 5.12 ilmub 2018. a jaanuaris. Plasma 5 töölaud on pälvinud palju kiitvaid hinnanguid ja sobib igapäevaseks tööks. Eeldab kaasaegset, mitme tuumaga protsessori ja piisava mäluga (vähemalt 4 GB) arvutit. SSD kettalt töötab välkkiirelt. Töölaud on keskkond rakendusprogrammide käivitamiseks ja kasutamiseks. KF5-le on üle viidud kõik KDE põhirakendused (failihaldur Dolphin, pildinäitaja Gwenview, konsool Konsole, teksti- redaktor Kate, ekraanitõmmise võtja Spectacle, videoredaktor Kdenlive, plaadikirjutaja K3b jt). Need on KDE Applications koosseisus, mille uued versioonid ilmuvad kolm korda aastas, veaparandused kord kuus.
