OpenSwing is a component library that provides a rich set of advanced graphics components and a framework for developing java applications based on Swing front-end. It can be applied both to rich client applications and Rich Internet Applications.       In this release:   Added some utility methods to TreePanel: - expandAllNodes() and collapseAllNodes() to expand/collapse all tree nodes - get/setSelectionMode(int mode), to set the selection model (which must be single/contiguous/discontiguous) - get/setRowHeight(int rowHeight), to sets the height of each cell, in pixels - get/setShowsRootHandles(boolean showsRootHandles), to specify whether the node handles should be displayed - scrollRowToVisible(int row), to scroll the item identified by row until it is displayed - scrollPathToVisible(TreePath path), to sure all the path components in path are expanded (except for the last path component) and scrolls so that the node identified by the path is displayed - setSelectionRow(int row), to select the node at the specified row in the display - get/setSelectionRows(int[] rows), to selects the nodes corresponding to each of the specified rows in the display - get/setSelectionPath(TreePath path), to select the node identified by the specified path - get/setSelectionPaths(TreePath[] paths), to select the nodes identified by the specified array of paths - get/selectionBackground(Color color), to set tree selection background color - get/selectionForeground(Color color), to set tree selection foreground color - addPopupSeparator(), to add a separator to the popup menu - setMenuItemVisible(String menuName,boolean visible), used to show/hide a menu item in the popup - revalidateTree(), to update tree content, useful after deleting/renaming operations on nodes - addKeyListener/removeKeyListener(KeyListener listener), to add/remove key listeners to the tree - addMouseListener/removeMouseListener(MouseListener listener), to add/remove mouse listeners to the tree Updated "demo12" and "demo31" to show new features. Added new properties to ClientSettings class: TREE_SELECTION_BACKGROUND and TREE_SELECTION_FOREGROUND to set background and foreground colors for node selections in TreePanel. Fixed scrolling problem when dragging nodes in TreePanel. Fixed problem with check-box columns in grid: now when selecting check-box with mouse or space key, the value object attribute is automatically updated, without having to lost focus on the cell.  Moreover, ItemListener events are correctly fired.  The distribution includes also Jar file libraries, source files, javadoc, licence and readme.txt installation instructions.     OpenSwing is available at:     http://oswing.sourceforge.net/     OpenSwing last release is downloadable from:   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167774&package_id=190748&release_id=574648

Three months ago I introduced my readers to a new system for hosting VST plugins compiled natively for Linux. That system has continued its development and has become a mainstay in the Studio Dave Linux audio arsenal. Here's an update on the system's recent incarnations, complete with the usual multimedia extravaganza of text, screenshots, and sounds.

In this new post to his blog today, Tim shares some of the tools that he uses to develop his PHP applications (including supporting the CodeIgniter project).   IÃ¢ÂÂve been asked on several occasions to spill the beans on my development environment. Sadly, itÃ¢ÂÂs probably not the easiest setup - but it works for my stubborn mind.   Applications included in his list are things like PHP Eclipse, CuteFTP, XAMPP and Subversion. He also mentions a Firefox extension, Devboi, that offers quick access to several different reference manuals on the web.

Asymptote (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net) is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.   Problems with loading LaTeX packages and slide presentations were fixed. Non-static variables in every loop iteration are now allocated anew. Formatting under locales with nonperiod decimal separators was fixed, along with logarithmic tick labels near the machine epsilon.  Concatenation of nullpaths was fixed. New path markers were added and the perpendicular symbol in the geometry module was improved. The skeleton routines in the solids module were split to provide finer control.  Routines to facilitate drawing 3d contours were added. Reading portable XDR binary data into arrays works again; functions for reading and writing also in native binary formats were added. The TeX preamble is no longer output in inline mode. The TeX pipe is now aware of a previously generated aux file. Memory leaks were fixed. An inline limit is now imposed on old compilers to speed up compilation. Setlocale warnings are disabled unless debugging is on. A colorspace command for extracting the colorspace of a pen was added. An Asymptote introductory slide presentation was added and a user-written Asymptote tutorial is now cited in the manual.

On Alexander Netkachev's blog today, there's a walk-through of a light and easy method for getting PHP and Apache up and running. It makes use of the Installer Technical Preview utility to make live simpler.    I created the installer, which primary goal is to provide the developer with command-line tools for basic Apache/PHP/MySQL management tasks.    This a preview version of AMP installer and configurator. Although, it is very far from being a real time-proven and tested installation method, with your help and effort we can make it better.    There's a link for the download and a brief How-To on using the package to get things up and running quickly. There's also two things on the To-Do list for upcoming versions - installers for various other databases and support for automatic installation of modern PHP applications (like WordPress, phpbb, etc).

I added his expand/collapse code to the HTML rendering of Scripting News, per my recent request. It seems to work nicely.  Does it work in Opera? Please let me know.

According to this note from the International PHP Magazine website, there's a new tool being offered by Aivosto that allows PHP developers to "reverse engineer" their code back into flow charts and UML activity diagrams.   Visustin is the ideal diagramming tool for software developers and document writers. Save your documentation efforts by automatic charting! Visustin reverse engineers your source code and visualizes it. No manual drawing is required. Your existing code is all you need. If you see a real complex case, print it out as a big mosaic and hang it on your wall.   Functionality includes the automatic creation of a optimized layout, the ability to do a multi-page printout, saving the graphs/charts/etc in various formats, run a "bulk chart" on all of your files at once, and export options including PowerPoint, out to the web, and Word.   You can get the full details on the product (as well as screenshots and a demo) from their website.

Pierre-Alain Joye takes a look at building Cairo (a vector-based graphics library for PHP) on a Windows system.    While trying to get the cairo (and pimp) PHP binding ready to be released, I finally sit down and port Wez build cscript to cairo. It still needs some cleanup, a nice summary message but it works already. I tested it with Visual C++ Express Edition but it should work with other versions as well.   My next goal is to add the tests (nmake tests) and fix the nmake instal    He describes the process he went through to try to get things up and running, but is still having a few issues and has required a few tweaks to get it working. He also links to two resources: a ZIP of the development libraries and a ZIP ready to use package.

Elizabeth Smith has posted a new item to her blog today with information about a PHP-GTK2 framework that she's been working on (and with) called the Callicore Desktop.   Donât look at me like that, I havenât lost my mind. Itâs not really a framework in the traditional MVC web application sense. Instead itâs a group of fairly loosely coupled widgets and classes with an emphasis on clean code.   With the help of several singletons, multiple widgets and a modular structure, the Callicore Desktop makes working with this parts as simple as calling it on the command line (with limited setup). If you'd like to get a look at the current version of the framework, check out the Callicore site or just head straight to the code.
