gruff
gruff
Mandelbrot Set fractal explorer using the ruff library. Requires GTK, OpenGL, and GLSL fragment shader support; lots of RAM and multiple CPU cores recommended. If you want to explore very deep zooms, you'll need hmpfr which currently requires GHC to be compiled with integer-simple instead of the default integer-gmp. To install with MPFR support, use cabal install gruff -fmpfr. Note that the default setting for this flag has changed since gruff-0.2. gruff-0.3.4 updates dependencies for ghc-7.8. Colouring is improved. gruff-0.3.3 relaxes dependencies for ghc-7.6. gruff-0.3.1 is a bugfix release, fixing a performance problem wherein offscreen tiles were needlessly calculated. The performance gain is much less (and in many cases is in fact a performance loss) when using integer-simple. gruff-0.3 includes a small library to allow external programs to create diagrams and animations with gruff. See the gruff-examples package. The interface has been remodelled to simplify it and add informative feature overlays. gruff-0.2.1 was a bugfix release. Changes since gruff-0.2: Supersampling bugs are fixed (no more undocumented quantization leading to inconsistent appearance at different zoom levels). Race condition bugs in cache management are fixed (no more incompletely rendered images). Internal changes/refactoring to make future additions easier. Features in this version include: Interactive fractal browser display with mouse controls: Left click to zoom in (press shift for bigger jumps). Right click to zoom out (press shift for bigger jumps). Middle click to center. Shift middle click to auto-focus. Control left click to label with period. Control right click to label with angled internal address (slow!). Session persistance (stored in ~/.gruff/state.gruff - states can also be loaded from and saved to other files, including labels and rays). Note that the file format is incompatible with previous releases of gruff. Tile cache (by default in ~/.gruff/cache - symlink it somewhere with a few GB of space if you plan on exploring a lot). Can use MPFR if desired for higher precision, allowing deeper zooms and locating high period nucleii. Limited amount of customizable colouring (colours for interior, border, and exterior points, as well as labels and rays). Supersampling for more detailed images (useful range is 1 to 16). Rudimentary scripting support (see the gruff-examples package). Future versions will focus on enhancing the scripting support.

mathgenealogy
A command line program for extracting data from the Mathematics Genealogy Project (http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php). Note that this database also contains many entries of computer scientists. Lookup your entry at http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php and then use that URL as a command line argument. For example, if Carl Gauss wanted to explore his academic ancestors, he would type which produces the directed acyclic graph http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22490968/genealogy_of_gauss.svg. See for the complete list of options. Requires the dot program, which is part of the GraphViz package (version 2.28.0 or later!) to run. Feedback and bug reports are appreciated! Changes in 1.3.0: Switched to HTML-like labels in GraphViz. This is required for the advanced font formatting options. ATTENTION: this needs a recent installation of GraphViz (Linux: 2.28.0; MacOS: 2.29) and will yield best results for SVG output files. If you have an older version of GraphViz or run into issues, try the --oldtextlabels option. Downloaded entries are stored locally. This avoids re-downloading the same data if you want to generate multiple graphs of the same entry with different formatting options. Added more options for fine-tuning the fonts and colors. (requested by users) Default output is now SVG, as this is the format best supported by GraphViz. Changes in 1.2.0: Fixed handling of entries that have multiple degrees. (reported by Dima Pasechnik) Changes in 1.1.1: Provide error message when given invalid start URL Documentation and code cleanup Changes in 1.0.0: Choice between PDF and PNG output Optional inclusion of PhD theses in output Changes in 0.0.2: Fixed handling of trailing commas (reported by Alexander Koessler)
