  • Wxshapeframework: an Easy Way for Diagrams Manipulation in C++ Applications
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on COMPUTERS Michal Bliznak, Tomas Dulik, Vladimir Vasek WXSHAPEFRAMEWORK: AN EASY WAY FOR DIAGRAMS MANIPULATION IN C++ APPLICATIONS MICHAL BLIŽŇÁK1, TOMÁŠ DULÍK2, VLADIMÍR VAŠEK3 Department of Informatics and Artificial Inteligence1, 2, Department of Automation and Control Engineering3 Faculty of Applied Informatics, Tomas Bata University Nad Stráněmi 4511, 760 05, Zlín CZECH REPUBLIC [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: wxShapeFramework is new cross-platform software library written in C++ programming language which is suitable for creation of software applications manipulating diagrams, images and other graphical objects. Thanks to the underlying technologies such as wxWidgets toolkit and its XML-based persistent data container add-on called wxXmlSerializer it is an ideal solution for rapid and easy cross-platform visualisation software development. The paper reveals how the wxSF allows user to easily create applications able to interactively handle various scenes consisting of pre-defined or user-defined graphic objects (both vector- and bitmap-based) or GUI controls, store them to XML files, export them to bitmap images, print them etc. Moreover, thanks to applied software licence the library can be used for both open-source and commercial projects on all main target platforms including MS Windows, MacOS and Linux. Keywords: Diagram, vector, bitmap, GUI, wxWidgets, wxXmlSerializer, wxShapeFramework, wxSF, C++ 1 Introduction called shapes (including basic rectangular and elliptic shapes, line and curve shapes, polygonal shapes, static Modern software applications often need the ability to and in-place editable text, bitmap images, etc.). graphically represent various data or logical structures, information flows, processes and similar The wxSF allows to define relationship between abstract information types in the form of diagrams.

  • Plotting Package Evaluation
    Plotting package evaluation Introduction We would like to evaluate several graphics packages for possible use in the GLAST Standard Analysis Environment. It is hoped that this testing will lead to a recommendation for a plotting package to be adopted for use by the science tools. We will describe the packages we want to test, the tests we want to do to (given the short time and resources for doing this), and then the results of the evaluation. Finally we will discuss the conclusions of our testing and hopefully make a recommendation. According to the draft requirements document for plotting packages the top candidates are: ROOT VTK VisAD JAS PLPLOT There has been some discussion about using some python plotting package: e.g.,Chaco, SciPy, and possibly Biggles (suggested in Computers in Science and Engineering). A desired feature is have is the ability to get the cursor position back from the graphics package. We will look for this desired feature. An additional desired feature would be to have the same graphics package make widgets or have a closely associated widget friend. Widget friends will not be tested here, but will have to studied before agreeing to use it. Package Widget Friend(s) Comments Biggles WxPython Plplot PyQt, Tk, java The Python Qt interface is only experimental at present. ROOT Comes with its own GUI INTEGRAL makes GUIs from ROOT graphics libs. We hear this was a bit of a challenge to do, but much of the work is already done for us. for us. Tests: The testing is to be carried out separately in the Windows and Linux environments.

    Journal of Engineering Education Research Vol. 15, No. 5, pp. 31~35, September, 2012 “Computer Programming IV” as Capstone Design and Laboratory Attachment Shoichi Yokoyama† Yamagata University, Yonezawa, Japan ABSTRACT A new obligatory subject, Computer Programming IV, is organized in the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Engineering, Yamagata University. The purposes of the subject are as follows: (1) Attachment to each laboratory for bachelor thesis was usually at the initial stage of the student’s fourth academic year. This subject actually moves up the attachment because students are tentatively attached to a laboratory for this subject. The interval to complete their bachelor thesis is extended by half a year. (2) In each laboratory, students cooperate with each other to complete their project. The project becomes capstone design which JABEE (Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) is recently emphasizing. We not only explain the introduction of this subject, but also report some case studies. Keywords: Engineering education, Capstone design, Laboratory attachment, Project, JABEE I.

  • Object-Oriented Virtual Sample Library: a Container of Multi-Dimensional Data for Acquisition, Visualization and Sharing
    Object-oriented virtual sample library: a container of multi-dimensional data for acquisition, visualization and sharing Shin-ichi Todoroki y Advanced Materials Laboratory, National Institute for Materials Science, Namiki 1-1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-0044, JAPAN Abstract. Combinatorial methods bring about enormous data not only in size but also in dimension. To handle multi-dimensional data easily, a concept of virtual container for combinatorially acquired data is demonstrated which is called “virtual sample library” (VSL). VSL stores the data hierarchically in the order of (1) coordinates in the sample library, (2) names of the measurements performed, and (3) data obtained from each measurement. Thus, the stored data are accessed intuitively just by tracing this tree-like structure and are provided for visualization and sharing with others. This framework is constructed by the aid of an object-oriented scripting language which is good at abstracting complicated data structure. In this paper, after summarizing the problems of handling data acquired from combinatorially integrated samples and availabilities of software tools to solve them, the concept of VSL is proposed and its structure and functions are demonstrated on the basis of one specific experimental data. Its extensibility as a platform for numerical simulation is also discussed. PACS numbers: 07.05.Kf, 07.05.Rm Received 12 April 2004, in final form 26 July 2004 Published 16 December 2004 Meas. Sci.
