Description: This is my library of classes that I find generally
useful for doing BeOS development. I am making it
publically available primarily for the terminal classes
it contains, which provide a fairly complete set of
classes for programs which need such a thing. Their
major features are individual character style and color,
screen history, add-on emulators, and an optional
high-level BMessage-based protocol for communicating
with remote devices. If you are interested in this,
you should also get the ArpTelnet demo application --
available in the Network section of BeWare.

| BLinearPlot | |
Version: Beta 1

Cost: $0

Description: BLinearPlot is a class that does data plotting. It works
by acquiring an instance of it and then using AddChild()
to put it somewhere. BLinearPlot can then be passed up
to five sets of data. The maximum number of points per
set is 500. In BLinearPlot's current incarnation, the X
values are merely the indices of the data, ie (0, 1, 2...)
BLinearPlot is shipped as a library you include in your
project, and also has BLinearPlotShip.h to define the
class methods for you. It is available as
BLinearPlotBeta1.tgz, a gzipped tar file, at ftp.be.com
Features
* Up to five data sets
* Automatically "zooms" into the data sent, so that
the plot space is used as effeciently as possible
* Independent colors for each set at users discretion
* Choice of connect points or leaving them discrete
* Can be many sizes: BLinearPlot is told is size
by passing a sizing BRect to its constructor
Some very brain dead source code is included to show
how to use the library. It draws five sets of data, each
in a different color.

notify a BHandler of your choosing whenever data is
received, a socket has been closed, or other important
events.

Description: Keywords: BLAS, Linear Algebra, optimization, interpolation, SVD,
lazy image, vector promise, pseudoinverse, regularization,
C++, class library
Hot points:
- _efficient_ and _fool-proof_ implementations of level 1 and
2 "BLAS" (element-wise operations + various multiplications)
- transpositions and determinant evaluation/inversion
- operations on a single row/col/diagonal of a matrix
- Lazy vector and Matrices (promises) , and ElementAction
iterators for fast sweeping actions
- Hooks-Jeevse multidimensional optimization
- Aitken-Lagrange interpolation over a grid of uniform or
arbitrary mesh
- *Singular Value Decomposition* of a rectangular matrix, with
an application to solve Ax=b, where A does not have to be square, and
b does not have to be a vector. In a case of a rectangular matrix A,
this effectively solves a least-squares problem.
- Brent's efficient univariate optimization and root finding
(with a guaranteed conversion)
- with a validation code to verify everything
- with a rather commented source and DR8 projects
A *big* README file tells much more what it all is and how to use it

Description: This package contains a server and a small static library. The purpose is to let the user decide if he wants the apps main menu in each window or in a common place. An application using this lib normally works in both cases: it's up to the user to run the server or not (if the server is running, the main menu is exported). The icon is also a replicant, so you can put it on the desktop, or, better, in the Deskbar, next to the clock.

Description: Suppose you have a bitmap that's 320x200 pixels in memory, and you really want it to occupy 640x400 pixels on screen. You preferrably want it to do that as quickly as possible, and you already have your BWindowScreen connected, ready and willing to get blitted to. Just drop in this function, and it will do the doubling and blasting to screen as quickly as possible on a PowerPC system, both for PCI graphcis cards and systems with motherboard graphics chips. Somewhat tested, and believed to work, but caveat programmer - use at your own risk!

Description: PluginEditors.lib was an attempt at providing embeddable
views that did frame and content navigation, as well as
shared the window menubar. However, with Replicants
available in the Preview Release, that technology should
be taken advantage of. I do not have time to completely
re-do PluginEditors.lib as it should be done, so it will
remain here as a curiosity for history.

preferences, while offering the user the ability to specify how,
where and when these preferences are saved.
The package consists of the server, a library that provides an
easy interface to the server, and an example program that
shows how to use the library.
The server can store preferences in a number of different ways,
read-, and write-protect preferences, and perform transaction
logging.

Description: Some _working_ thoughts of how to make BeAPI prettier.
For example, to draw a set of lines, one would simply
{
LineArray lines(view);
lines << BPoint(20,20) << LineArray::rline_to(-10,-10);
lines << LineArray::line_from_to(BPoint(10,20),BPoint(20,10));
lines.offset_by(BPoint(100,100));
lines.stroke();
}
or even
{
LineArray(view) << LineArray::line_from_to(BPoint(0,0),BPoint(20,10))
<< LineArray::rline_to(30,30) << endl;
}
no line counting, no worry about correct pracketing of API calls, etc.
The code includes some other beautifications to the BeAPI
Everything works!

It is a listbox that displays data that is naturally organized in a tree form (for example, a single inheitance tree).
The listbox is very easy to customize, but in its base form it is usable, just add your icons and go.
The control comes with full HTML documentation that is also available online on my web page, take a look there.
