Hi folks,
I am not really retiring, but I need several debian-free months
for real life. I closed every bug last summer; but they keep appearing,
and there is always new policy and improvments etc.
If someone wants to do a decent to great job on any package, please
let me know. I can only afford to do a decent job on a couple of them.
I can help people out with questions, if they need it. Here are the
packages and a little commentary.
*** This one is fairly popular
Package: pgplot
Installed-Size: 4677
Architecture: i386
Version: 5.2-6
Depends: libc6, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5)
Size: 3678910
Description: large subroutine library for plotting scientific data.
Many routines are included in pgplot for viewing scientific data. Many
(about 70) output devices are supported. 2-D , 3-D , contour, image
manipulation,
etc. are well supported. Interactive routines are included. Both a C and a
FORTRAN
library are present. See http://astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/ for more

Description: Modula-2 translator (compiler)
m2c is a Modula-2 translator. The translator is
based on the language report in the 4th edition
of Wirth's book Programming in Modula-2.
The translator also supports the third edition of
Wirth's book. High portability of the translator
is achieved by intermediate translation into C.
The translator is aimed to be used on Unixes of
different flavors.

Drawmap reads data in the Digital Elevation Model (DEM),
Digital Line Graph (DLG), and Geographic Names Information
System (GNIS) formats.
Using the data in these files, drawmap can produce various
kinds of customized maps, including shaded relief maps
(with or without roads, streams, place names, and so on)
and topographic maps (again, with or without additional
features).

Architecture: i386
Version: 3.1-2
Depends: libc6
Size: 45538
Description: create and render 3-d scenes
This is SIPP, the SImple Polygon Processor, version 3.1. SIPP is a
library for creating 3-dimensional scenes and rendering them using a
scan-line z-buffer algorithm. A scene is built up of objects which
can be transformed with rotation, translation and scaling. The
objects form hierarchies where each object can have arbitrarily many
subobjects and subsurfaces. A surface is a number of connected
polygons which are rendered with either Phong, Gouraud or flat
shading. An image can also be rendered as a line drawing of the
polygon edges without any shading at all.
.
The library supports texture mapping with textures in up to
3-dimensions and automatic interpolation of texture coordinates.
Simple anti-aliasing can be performed through oversampling. A scene
can be illuminated by an arbitrary number of light sources and a
number of different lightsources are availiable. The light from some
of them are capable of casting shadows of objects. A basic shading
algorithm is provided with the library, but the user can also use his
own shading algorithms for each surface to produce special effects.
Objects can have varying degree of transparency, controlled by the
shader.

here to switch from RH to debian. Didn't work. They keep

Geomview allows multiple independently controllable objects and
cameras. It provides interactive control for motion, appearances
(including lighting, shading, and materials), picking on an
object, edge or vertex level, snapshots in SGI image file or
Renderman RIB format, and adding or deleting objects is provided
through direct mouse manipulation, control panels, and keyboard
shortcuts. External programs can drive desired aspects of the
viewer (such as continually loading changing geometry or
controlling the motion of certain objects) while allowing
interactive control of everything else.

Description: provides tide and current predictions
XTide is a package that provides tide and current predictions in a wide
variety of formats. Graphs, text listings, and calendars can be generated,
or a tide clock can be provided on your desktop.
.
XTide can work with X-windows, plain text terminals, or the web. This is
accomplished with three separate programs: the interactive interface
(xtide), the non-interactive or command line interface (tide), and the web
interface (xttpd).
.
The algorithm that XTide uses to predict tides is the one used by the
National Ocean Service in the U.S. It is significantly more accurate than
the simple tide clocks that can be bought in novelty stores. However, it
takes more to predict tides accurately than just a spiffy algorithm -- you
also need data for every location for which you want
to predict tides. XTide reads this data from harmonics files that are
installed with the Debian package.

is to turn perl in to a free, array-oriented, numerical language
in the same sense as commercial packages like IDL and MatLab. One
can write simple perl expressions to manipulate entire numerical arrays
all at once. For example, using PDL the perl variable $a can hold a
1024x1024 floating point image, it only takes 4Mb of memory to store
it and expressions like $a=sqrt($a)+2 would manipulate the whole image
in a few seconds.

Description: finite element analysis program
Tochnog is a program for finite element analysis.
Multithreading and multiprocessor systems are
supported. Here is a partial list of
models supported:
Differential equations (materials).
Convection-diffusion equations,
Stokes and Navier-Stokes,
Elasticity (isotropy and transverse isotropy),
Plasticity (Von-Mises, Mohr-Coulomb,
Gurson, etc.; plasticity surfaces can be
arbitrarily combined).
.
Residues in equations and error estimates
for all data can be printed/plotted.

Version: 0.20.a1-2
Depends: freetype1, libc6 (>= 2.1), libpng2, mesag3, xlib6g (>= 3.3.3.1-1),
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3), libwww-perl, perl-5.005, libhtml-parser-perl

Description: vrml browser and netscape plugin
freewrl includes a standalone vrml browser, which
also browses url's from the command line.
Currently, you must edit the xswallow configuration
file by hand in order to get the plugin function.

*** I wrote this one, and have not had time to continue development.
The lib that it is based on is a moving target.
Package: libplot-perl

Description: perl interface to plot library
libplot is part of the plotutils package
from the FSF. This package allows the routines
to be called from perl. Only the C libary routines are avaiable
with this package. The C++ routines may be added later. They
are available on CPAN in a package which is currently not
debianized.

Mocka is a modula-2 compiler. The compiler
is written in modula-2 and can be compiled under
mocka.

Description: processing triangulated solid meshes
Currently, ADMesh only reads the STL file
format that is used for rapid prototyping applications,
although it can write STL, VRML, OFF, and DXF files.
Some features of admesh are: Fill holes in the mesh
by adding facets. Repair facets by connecting
nearby facets. Repair normal directions
(i.e. facets should be CCW) Remove degenerate
facets (i.e. facets with 2 or more vertices equal)

Description: dynamical systems investigation tk verson
dstool with a tk front end.
dstool is a tool for the investigation of
dynamical systems. It is an efficient research tool
that integrates a friendly graphical user
interface, data management capabilities,
a rich set of numerical algorithms together
with the flexibility to add more algorithms
and communicate data with other programs.
Package: meschach-dev
This looks really cool. I played with it, but have not done
anything useful with it (heavy C++).

Size: 374030
Description: scientific visualization library.
"Grafix" is a utility originally designed to help scientists in the
visualization of results of a computation, e.g. for numerical integrations of
partial differential equations.
.
It can be used, however, for any application that wants to use X for
drawing pictures, functions or other graphic objects in a convenient
interactive manner or even for writing a graphical user interface for any task.
.
Grafix should be considered as a layer between an application and the X Window
system built up of a bunch of basic classes as building elements.
The simplest way of using it is to define instances of these classes.
For more complicated programs the user has to define own derivations to the
basic classes.

Description: interactive tensor language
Tela (pronounced teh-lah) is an interactive
numerical computing package primarily targeted
for prototyping numerical simulations. It is,
however, also a general purpose programming
language similar to C but with features derived
from Pascal as well as other interactive
systems such as Matlab.
.
Tela is not a Matlab clone. Many of Tela's
features are more powerful than in Matlab;
on the other hand Tela's linear algebra routines are
not as sophisticated as those in Matlab.
