Software Map

PLOTICUS is a command line utility for creating bar, line, pie, boxplot, scatterplot, sweep, heatmap, vector, timeline, Venn diagrams, and other types of charts and plots. ploticus is good for automated or just-in-time graph generation. It handles date, time, and categorical data nicely, and has some basic statistical capabilities. It can output to GIF, PNG, SVG, SWF, JPEG, PostScript, EPS, and X11. You can use convenient preset options or create complex scripts with rich and detailed color and style operations.

JGraphpad Pro is a complete application framework for rapid development of JGraph tools. It is meant for developers who wish to provide a stand-alone, rich-client graph application. The user interface is configurable with XML, and it uses a plugin architecture for extra functionality. It features a wide range of application components like palette, overview, the ability to export to many image and XML formats, copy and paste, drag and drop, rich text labels, database or backend connectivity, and visual complexity management. You can use it to create workflow editors, call graphs, CAD tools, network diagrams, database visualization tools, and more.

Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a cross-platform Geographic Information System (GIS). It offers support for vector and raster formats, including spatially enabled tables in PostgreSQL using PostGIS, common GIS vector formats such as Shapefiles, and geo-referenced rasters (TIFF, PNG, and GEOTIFF). Many plugins are available to dynamically add new functionality. Viewing of GRASS layers (vector and raster) is provided by a plugin. GRASS vector layers can be edited in QGIS.

Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element grid generator with built-in CAD and post-processing facilities. Its design goal is to provide a simple meshing tool with parametric input and advanced visualization capabilities. It is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver, and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface (based on FLTK and OpenGL) or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.

　FreeMindは、議論やアイデアをまとめる手法であるマインドマップを作成するためのフリーのソフトウェアです。簡単にグラフィカルなマインドマップを作成できるほか、作成したマインドマップをPDFやPNG、HTMLといった形式で保存する機能も備えています。

　FreeMindで作成したマインドマップは自由に展開/折り畳みができ、またWebブラウザで動的に動くマップを作成することもできます。

マインドマップとは？

　マインドマップは、ある対象について、関連するキーワードや想起されるイメージを放射状に繋げながら描いていくことで分析/表現を行うものです。キーワードやイメージを繋げていく表現方法は人間の脳が物事を記憶/分析する方法に近いと言われており、物事の特徴を把握しやすく図示する方法であると言われています。

　マインドマップの基本的な作成ルールは非常に単純です。まず、分析/表現したい対象を中心に書き、そこから放射状に線を延ばしてその事柄に関連するキーワードや想起されるキーワードを書き込みます。続いて新たに書き込まれたキーワードに対し、同様に関連/するキーワード、想起されるキーワードを書き込んでいく、というステップを繰り返すことで、マインドマップは作成されます。

　FreeMindはWindowsおよびMac OS X、Linuxで動作します。また、実行にはjava.comからダウンロードできるJava Runtime Environment（JRE）が必要です。最新版のJREをダウンロードしてからインストールを行ってください。

CodeQuery is a tool for indexing and then querying or searching C, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, and Go source code. It builds upon the databases of cscope and ctags, which are processed by the cqmakedb tool to generate a CodeQuery database file. This can be viewed and queried with a GUI tool. The features include auto-completion of search terms and visualization of function call graphs and class inheritance. The following queries can be made: Symbol, Function or macro, Class or struct, Functions calling this function, Functions called by this function, Class which owns this member or method, Members and methods of this class, Parent of this class (inheritance), Children of this class (inheritance), Files including this file, and Full path for file.

Eigen is a C++ template library for linear algebra: vectors, matrices, and related algorithms. It is versatile, fast, elegant and works on many platforms.

Xrmap is a program running under X that can interactively display portions of the Earth, using the huge CIA world vector map. It is based on an earlier console utility 'rmap'. It features political boundaries, major and minor rivers, glaciers, lakes, canals, etc. The map remains accurate under a very large zoom factor, which can possibly exceed 100. Spherical, rectangular, Mercator and Miller projections are implemented, and all features can be interactively set from the GUI.

The Noble Ape Simulation is a collection of a number of autonomous simulation components including a landscape simulation, biological simulation, weather simulation, sentient creature (Noble Ape) simulation, and a simple intelligent-agent scripting language (ApeScript). Noble Ape also contains a social simulation where the Noble Apes can be tracked in terms of social groups and also over many generations to explain social phenomenon to users looking to study this kind of interaction. It has been in development for more than a fifteen years.

K-3D is a 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for GNU/Linux & Win32. Features include creation and editing of geometry in multiple realtime OpenGL solid, shaded, and texture-mapped views; unlimited undos and redos; complete extensibility at runtime through third-party plugins; animated procedural geometric effects; all parameters animatable through a consistent control-spline based interface; rendering pipeline to Renderman Interface compliant rendering engines; optimization for use with the Aqsis rendering engine, which features solid modelling, true displacement, and user programmable shaders; and support for background and batch rendering.
