Software :: Drawing Formatting Language / Tool For Diagrams?
Oct 6, 2010
A few months ago I found a program / tool that essentially used a scripting language to specify diagrams, but I can't find it anymore and cannot remember for the life of me what it is. It's not the python interface to dia. This program did not have any gui.
I have some c++ code and want to generate class diagrams using some tool which would scan the c++ code and generate diagrams. Is there any such open source tool to be used on linux machine?
I use this tool on windows [URL] for low level formatting hard drives. I have been looking for a tool like this for ubuntu but having now luck. I read on another thread that I can use this command - sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx. Will that work aswell? if so is there a front-end available for it?
I have been going crazy trying to get some sort of grammar checker working in Libreoffice on Maverick. I installed language support-fr -en and -de through terminal but they only check spelling. I then installed the extension "languagetool" in libreoffice and while it does work a little bit it is very unstable. It makes libreoffice crash on start and randomly while in use. Is there any solution to getting a stable grammar checker with libreoffice or are my attempts useless?
is ther any application with which i could draw architecture diagrams for software development. used visio while on windows but now need an alternate for tat, dont need the exact alternative but just for diagrams.
I want to have a panel like the panels which exist in Gnome Desktop in my application to add menus, labels, entries, buttons and etc. How can i Do this? How can I add charts and diagrams in my applications?
I would like to know if there is a program such as edraw:
[URL]
that I can use to make directional diagrams in linux. I know about inkscape but I would like a program that has a premade library of shapes. I also know about Dia Diagram but it doesnt have a sheet of shapes that suits me.
I have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?
One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?
While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.
i recently got a french msi wind U100x running on linux suse enterprise 10 sp1. (i am french and wanted a light netbook with french keyboard)i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping.because i am more used to english for settings, i set the main language to english, but it seems that it automatically reconfigures my keyboard mapping to english as well, so that azerty becomes qwerty.i reset it back to french, so now my keyboard is french, but so is the system.is there a way to differentiate keyboard from main user setting language?
I'm running 9.04 jaunty. I made a file in gimp and saved it as .xcf. I want it to be a pdf file, so I try opening it with open office drawing, but it keeps opening it with the word processor instead. The word processor starts the file if I do a right-click 'open with' on the file on my desktop, and even if I use open from the file menu in drawing itself. I'm wondering what to do to get drawing to open this file. Is it that .xcf is not supported by drawing?
I've been looking for a simple 3d drawing programme, and found a video on ..... of Rhondaforever, which seems to be just what I wanted.It is written for windows, but a post in their forum indicates that it works in Wine.To get to the download, you need to register,which I did, but no download page appeared.I've sent an email to the moderator,and another to someone who registered after me, but no replies yet (2 days).
I had a dual monitor setup going for a while, then one monitor broke, and I dropped back down to one. In some ways, the computer seems to have noticed this. I have an NVIDIA card and the NVIDIA drivers, and in NVIDIA X Server Settings it shows only one display. I had it configured in the Xinerama fashion, two continuous desktops side by side.
However, my desktop is still drawn as though there are two monitors, the result being that I can only see half. This is easily apparent when I zoom out to the desktop cube. It wouldn't be much of a serious problem, except for some reason, several important applications I use for work are popping up messages on the part of the desktop that I can't access. I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers,driver reset might prompt whatever the problem is to go away (and it's good to do that regularly anyways) but no dice.
I am looking to draw a curve for a given set of coordinates using java. For example; (1,2) (2,4) (3,6) I am aware that a straight line graph can be drawn for a given coordinates using Jfree, but I am not sure about drawing the curve. Any hints on what might be a good java class to use.
I would like an easy way to draw a polygon from a load of xyz points that should be on its surface. Can someone help? Ideally using java 3D but I could use something else. Quick and dirty is fine its just to see a shape. I haven't really done any 3D graphics programming.
I'm on F12 and looking for a CAD program that would allow me to design simple 2 dimensional scale drawings, that I can hand over to somebody else to follow my plans and make something from the plan. Can anyone recommend a suitable package that would allow me to do that?
I have installed F-15. Is there any AUTOCAD like Drawing/Drafting software for F-15. Previously I had F-10 on my machine and had installed QCAD. Now I am trying to install by typing yum install qcad but I am unable to install QCAD.
I was wondering if there is a good program for drawing charts of fx programs. Flow charts, Gannt charts and such.I'm sure I can get openoffice to do it, but somehow I'm not comfortable with drawing anything in that program. I don't really know why. There is a nice program for it in the OpenSuse 11.2 with gnome, but I run KDE4. Is there a good recommendable program for this under KDE4?
I'm having trouble setting up PuTTY with Ubuntu. I'm trying to get line characters to work in aptitude as well as 256-color support, but can only get one or the other.
Ubuntu Config:
Using 64-bit Ubuntu Terminal type xterm-256color or putty-256color gives 256-color, but incorrect line characters. Terminal type linux gives proper lines in aptitude, but only 16 colors.
PuTTY Config:
Using font with Unicode characters. (DejaVu Sans Mono) Received Data is assumed to be in UTF-8. Set to use Unicode line drawing code points.
Is there some way to enable drawing a Japanese character with the mouse ?
something like IME pad for windows would be perfect. I looked at Anthy and the romanji to kanji works fairly well but it is lacking a direct mouse input method.
Anybody know if this is possible to setup on 9.10 Ubuntu ? I tried upgrading and that resulted in a big mess.
I need to make an image in drawing area move. I have a GdkPixmap which stores image of the drawing area. How can i copy a rectangle part inside GdkPixmap to other coordinates?
Today I assembled a machine and installed Ubuntu 8.4...I think. When I opened Open office, more specifically the drawing section, the toolbars were full of a script font and I am not sure of how to change it to something I can read.
On my terminal only system ( no Xorg or guis ) I have a font rendering issue. In place of some symbols ( eg double-lines and some other miscellaneous line-drawing shapes) are generic diamonds. Attached is a fbgrab ( png format ) of elinks showing the problem. I have now configured elinks to only use single lines drawing characters ( which work fine ) for now as a work around. Here is my /etc/default/console-setup
Code:
# Change to "yes" and setupcon will explain what is being doing VERBOSE_OUTPUT="no" # Setup these consoles. Most people do not need to change this. ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
[code]....
The numbers in the FONTFACE show the size of the font matrix. For example Lat2-Terminus20x10.psf is a font for codeset Lat2 with size of the font matrix 10x20 (i.e. 10 columns and 20 rows). If the number of columns is 8 then only the number of rows is specified. For example the font matrix of Armenian-Fixed15.psf has size 8x15.
In text video mode or if you use the RadeonFB kernel module only fonts whose font matrix has 8 columns can be used (that is the size should be a simple NUMBER rather than a NUMBERxNUMBER combination). The other fonts can be used only with framebuffer video modes and with the package 'kbd'. The console package 'console-tools' can not be used with such fonts.
THE TERMINUS FONT:
The aim of the Terminus font is to reduce the eyes-fatigue when one has to read a lot. Currently this font supports only the Latin, the Cyrillic and the Greek scripts (the Lat15, Lat2, Lat7, CyrAsia, CyrKoi, CyrSlav, Greek, Uni2 and Uni3 codesets). The fonts with font face TerminusBold and size 14 or 16 are optimized for 8 pixels width glyph matrix (in most cases this means framebuffer). The fonts with font face TerminusBoldVGA and size 14 or 16 are optimized for 9 pixels width glyph matrix and can not be used with framebuffer video modes.
The fonts with font face Terminus and size 14 or 16 can be used both with 8 and 9 pixels width glyph matrix. In the regular text video modes the width of the glyph matrix is 9 pixels. If you use the package svgatextmode then the width is 8 or 9 pixels and you probably know it. The Terminus font in this version of console-setup is version 4.26.
I upgraded in Ubuntu from 2.6.28-13 to 2.6.30 and now I get no line-drawing characters in applications like alsamixer; instead they are replaced by 127-bit chars like 'lqqk'. As a coder, I'd really like to understand what happened - what changed (file in /etc?) affecting terminal capabilities, and what does the kernel have to do with it .
PS: the distro is Jaunty and I used the debs at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-mainline/:
