Description: GraphClick is a graph digitizer software which allows to automatically retrieve the original (x,y)-data from the image of a scanned graph or from a QuickTime movie.You have the picture of a graph but not the corresponding data? You want to retrieve the trajectory of an object from a QuickTime movie? GraphClick is then simply the best way to solve the problem! You just have to click on the image and the obtained coordinates of the points can be directly exported into any other application.The idea is very simple, but its usefulness is likely to become essential.Automatic dectection of curves (solid, dotted or dashed), symbols, bar charts or perimeters of areasAlmost all file formats recognized (PDF, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, Photoshop, etc.)Frame-by-frame digitization of QuickTime moviesImage modification for adjustment (edge detection, blur, sharpen, etc.)Can handle arbitrarily deformed axis systems, and two ordinate axesLinear, logarithmic or inverse scalesError barsSeveral data set in the same documentUnlimited ...

Description: Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of the circuit as input. This 'netlist' is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit and analyses this.A command interpreter (shell) is used to specify the types of analyses that are required and how the results should be processed, saved or displayed. The high quality of the MacSpice command interpreter makes the automation of tasks straightforward.MacSpice has native support for both PowerPC and Intel architecture Apple Macintosh computers. It is derived from, and compatible with, Berkeley Spice 3f5. MacSpice incorporates many improvements to Spice 3f5 - from simple ...

Description: breve is a simulation environment which allows users to define the behaviors and interactions of different types of agents in a simulated 3D world and observe the emergent behaviors. breve is conceptually similar to packages such as Swarm and StarLogo, but simulates objects in a continuous 3D world with continuous time. breve thus allows simulation involving realistic collision detection and physics.Agent behaviors are written in a simple object oriented language called "steve". Users define an agent's behavior by specifying how the agent interacts with the world at each timestep and how the agent interacts when it collides with other agents. breve includes support for collision detection and physical simulation of articulated bodies.What's new in this version:breve 2.7.2 fixes a crash during startup on Mac OS X, issues with the breveIDE for Windows and Linux, and a problem deleting objects in Python simulations.

Description: LaTeXiT is a small utility that allows you to quickly typeset LaTeX equations, without bothering with file creation, preambles, and so on. The PDF image obtained can then be exported by drag'n drop to any application supporting it. This is very useful to insert equations in presentations made with Keynote or Powerpoint. LaTeXiT also features an application service, so that you can type and transform equations directly in most text editors (Pages, Nisus Writer Express, TextEdit...).Main features of LaTeXiT are :generated PDFs can be reopened (even with copy/paste) to be modifiedLinkBack supportsyntax colouring and auto-completion of LaTeX keywordssmart LaTeX errors managerLaTeX palettesautomatic history and library managementincluded application serviceseveral export formats (PDF, EPS, TIFF, PNG...)What's new in this version:the MacOS 10.3 (Panther) version will not be maintained any morefixed an incompatibility with the Leopard shellServices work again on Leopardmore robust way to handle Services keyboard...

Description: Mr. Tides displays tide and current information for a variety of locations around the world. It can display the day's tides, the week's tides, or the month's tides in two different ways. You select a station via the maps presented by Mr. Tides, or by searching the station list.What's new in this version:Updated the harmonics files to remove duplicate stations caused by importing all the old NOAA stations. They changed a lot of the station names, so there were a lot of duplicates. Unfortunately, this will affect some saved stations - they won’t be found in the databases and so won’t open.Current substations compute their slack times correctly now. Before, in certain cases the slack times were out of order and caused Mr. Tides to either crash or not display any data.Fixed a bug when the first entry in the text view was astronomical, it would show the tide events under a duplicated date after the astronomical entry.Text view now finds the correct top three maximum and minimum events.Printer setting...
