Software Map

　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。

Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many barcode formats entirely within PostScript, so that the process of converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the printer or print system. The project supports all major barcode formats including: EAN-13 (JAN-13), EAN-8 (JAN-8), UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-5 & EAN-2 (EAN/UPC add-ons), ISBN (including legacy ISBN), ISMN (including legacy ISMN), ISSN, Code 128 (A, B & C), GS1-128, SSCC-18 (EAN-18, NVE), EAN-14, Code 39, Code 39 Extended, Code 93, Code 93 Extended, Code 32 (Italian Pharmacode), Pharmazentralnummer (PZN), Interleaved 2 of 5, ITF-14 (UPC SCS), GS1 DataBar (Omnidirectional, Stacked, Stacked Omnidirectional, Limited, Expanded, Expanded Stacked), Code 2 of 5 (Industrial, IATA, Matrix, Datalogic & COOP), Code 11 (USD-8), BC412, Codabar (NW-7), Pharmacode (including two-track), MSI, Plessey, Telepen, Channel Code, PosiCode, PDF417, Data Matrix (ECC200), QR Code (including Micro QR Code), and more.

QCAD is an application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD, you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts, or schematics and diagrams. QCAD can be easily extended through plugins and its very powerful and complete ECMAScript (JavaScript) interface.

Fotoxx navigates an image collection using a thumbnail browser to choose images to view or edit. Edit functions include brightness, contrast, color, gamma, white balance, tone mapping, red eyes, sharpen, blur, noise suppression, smart erase, trim (crop), resize, rotate, add text, bend/warp, many art effects, HDR, HDF, stack, and panorama. Edit functions use movable curves and sliders. Feedback is live using the whole image. RAW files can be edited and saved with deep color. Areas or objects can be selected using freehand draw, follow edge, and tone matching. Selections can be edited in place with adjustable blending. They can also be cut and pasted into other images. Any metadata can be edited, reported, and searched (filenames, tags, dates, geotags, comments, captions, ratings, etc.). Collections (arbitrary subsets) can be defined and viewed. Batch functions are available for rename, resize/export, RAW conversion, and more.

Xpdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from the name of Adobe's PDF software.) The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities. It runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems, and should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler. Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient. It can use Type 1 and TrueType fonts.

Gallery is a slick Web-based photo album written using PHP. It is easy to install, includes a config wizard, and provides users with the ability to create and maintain their own albums in the album collection via an intuitive Web interface. Photo management includes automatic thumbnail creation, image resizing, rotation, ordering, captioning and more. Albums can have read, write, and caption permissions per individual authenticated user for an additional level of privacy.
