Audis German tagline is "Vorsprung durch Technik", meaning "Advancement Through Technology".

The Audi Misc Screensaver contains over 20 high resolution photos, full screen wallpaper size.

Requirements:

· Intel Processor
· 32 MB RAM
· 8MB Hard Drive Space

Iterator::Misc Perl module package contains miscellaneous iterator functions.

SYNOPSIS

use Iterator::Misc;

# Permute the elements of a list:
$iter = ipermute (@items);

# Select only every nth value of an iterator
$iter = inth ($n, $another_iterator);

# Randomly select iterator values with 1/$n probability
$iter = irand_nth ($n, $another_iterator);

# Fibonacci sequence
$ifib = ifibonacci(); # default sequence starts with 1,1
$ifib = ifibonacci($a, $b); # or specify alternate starting pair

# Geometric sequence
$iter = igeometric ($start, $end, $multiplier);

This module contains miscellaneous iterator utility functions that I think arent as broadly useful as the ones in Iterator::Util. They are here to keep the size of Iterator::Util down.

For more information on iterators and how to use them, see the Iterator module documentation.

A highly useful yet incredibly easy to use utility for changing the Windows 95/98 Startup, Shut Down and Wait Screens. SUSD Screens 2000 has a very easy to grasp look and within minutes of installing it you will be able to get rid of theboring old cloudy screens that come with Windows by default. SUSD Screens 2000 will also allow you to add new screens (directly from .zip files) and create Screen Themes which you can then distribute freely thanks to the SUSD Screens 2000 Screen Installer Self Extracting .exe.

The program allows you to have MULTIPLE VIRTUAL SCREENS (desktops) and switch among them. Running applications (Windows) can be moved or copied among screens very easily. Each screen has its own SCREEN MENU (start menu like) and TOOLBAR to launch applications, open files and access folders. Other features: multiple wallpaper, screen saver enhancements, password protection, etc.

Computers are still faster, with more and more memory and bigger hard drives and make it possible for users to install and run many applications. But there is just one computer screen to arrange all the applications on it and there is just one overloaded Start menu to start application from. The Perfects Screens, award-winning desktop management utility, can bring a user whole new dimension to working on computer. The ability to arrange all the work to several virtual screens (desktops) gives the user better survey on running and installed applications. Running applications are spread out to several virtual screens and the user is not confused by many overlapping windows and can switch among applications quickly. Installed applications are available for quick start from application toolbars (each virtual screen has its own toolbar!). Applications can be easily copied/moved from one screen to another and the user has all the power to arrange desktop a way that allows you to work efficiently. Features: unlimited number of virtual screens, each screen has its own application toolbar and screen menu, quick application and file and directory access, sticky windows, user-defined hot-keys, multi-user network support, copy/move applications between screens, drag dropfrom one screen to another, auto-hide, easy to configure, intuitive, contemporary look and feel, install/uninstall support, different wallpapers on different screens, more.

VirtualScreens is a small app that resides in the System Status Bar (the rightmost part of the menu bar) of Mac OS X (Jaguar and Panther). It enables unilimited "virtual screens". A virtual screen is simply a user-defined set of active (visible) applications.

When the user changes the virtual screen, the applications that were visible are hidden, and the hidden applications that belong to the new virtual screen are shown. In this way, you can reduce the cluttering on your screen and organize the running applications in the way thats most convenient to you.

Windows 2000 Logo Screens is a set of 3D text startup, wait, and shutdown screens that emulate the Windows2000/NT screens. Automatic installation program.

PDL::IO::Misc is a Perl module with misc IO routines for PDL.

rcols()

Read ASCII whitespaced cols from a file into piddles and perl arrays (also see "rgrep()").

There are two calling conventions - the old version, where a pattern can be specified after the filename/handle, and the new version where options are given as as hash reference. This reference can be given as either the second or last argument.

The default behaviour is to ignore lines beginning with a # character and lines that only consist of whitespace. Options exist to only read from lines that match, or do not match, supplied patterns, and to set the types of the created piddles.
Can take file name or *HANDLE, and if no columns are specified, all are assumed. For the allowed types, see "Datatype_conversions" in PDL::Core.

Options:

EXCLUDE or IGNORE - ignore lines matching this pattern (default /^#/).
INCLUDE or KEEP - only use lines which match this pattern (default ).
LINES - which line numbers to use. Line numbers start at 0 and the syntax is a:b:c to use every cth matching line between a and b (default ).
DEFTYPE - default data type for stored data (if not specified, use the type stored in $PDL::IO::Misc::deftype, which starts off as double).
TYPES - reference to an array of data types, one element for each column to be read in. Any missing columns use the DEFTYPE value (default []).
PERLCOLS - an array of column numbers which are to be read into perl arrays rather than piddles. References to these arrays are returned after the requested piddles (default undef).

Usage:

($x,$y,...) = rcols( *HANDLE|"filename", { EXCLUDE => /^!/ },
$col1, $col2, ... )
($x,$y,...) = rcols( *HANDLE|"filename", $col1, $col2, ...,
{ EXCLUDE => /^!/ } )
($x,$y,...) = rcols( *HANDLE|"filename", "/foo/", $col1, $col2, ... )

e.g.,

$x = PDL->rcols file1;
($x,$y) = rcols *STDOUT;

# read in lines containing the string foo, where the first
# example also ignores lines that with a # character.
($x,$y,$z) = rcols file2, 0,4,5, { INCLUDE => /foo/ };
($x,$y,$z) = rcols file2, 0,4,5,
{ INCLUDE => /foo/, EXCLUDE => };

# ignore the first 27 lines of the file, reading in as ushorts
($x,$y) = rcols file3, { LINES => 27:-1, DEFTYPE => ushort };
($x,$y) = rcols file3,
{ LINES => 27:, TYPES => [ ushort, ushort ] };

# read in the first column as a perl array and the next two as piddles
($x,$y,$name) = rcols file4, 1, 2, { PERLCOLS => [ 0 ] };
printf "Number of names read in = %dn", 1 + $#$name;

Notes:

1. Quotes are required on patterns.
2. Columns are separated by whitespace by default, use $PDL::IO::Misc::colsep to specify an alternate separator.
3. For PDL-2.003, the meaning of the c value in the LINES option has changed: it now only counts matching lines rather than all lines as in previous versions of PDL.
4. LINES => -1:0:3 may not work as you expect, since lines are skipped when read in, then the whole array reversed.

wcols()

Write ASCII whitespaced cols into file from piddles efficiently.
If no columns are specified all are assumed. Will optionally only process lines matching a pattern. Can take file name or *HANDLE, and if no file/filehandle is given defaults to STDOUT.

Options:

HEADER - prints this string before the data. If the string is not terminated by a newline, one is added (default ).

Usage: wcols $piddle1, $piddle2,..., *HANDLE|"outfile", [%options];

e.g.,

wcols $x, $y+2, foo.dat;
wcols $x, $y+2, *STDERR;
wcols $x, $y+2, |wc;
wcols $a,$b,$c; # Orthogonal version of print $a,$b,$c :-)

wcols "%10.3f", $a,$b; # Formatted
wcols "%10.3f %10.5g", $a,$b; # Individual column formatting

wcols $a,$b, { HEADER => "# a b" };

Note: columns are separated by whitespace by default, use $PDL::IO::Misc::colsep to specify an alternate separator.

swcols()

generate string list from sprintf format specifier and a list of piddles
swcols takes an (optional) format specifier of the printf sort and a list of 1d piddles as input. It returns a perl array (or array reference if called in scalar context) where each element of the array is the string generated by printing the corresponding element of the piddle(s) using the format specified. If no format is specified it uses the default print format.

Usage: @str = swcols format, pdl1,pdl2,pdl3,...;

or

$str = swcols format, pdl1,pdl2,pdl3,...;

rgrep()

Read columns into piddles using full regexp pattern matching.

Options:

UNDEFINED: This option determines what will be done for undefined values. For instance when reading a comma-separated file of the type 1,2,,4 where the ,, indicates a missing value.

The default value is to assign $PDL::undefval to undefined values, but if UNDEFINED is set this is used instead. This would normally be set to a number, but if it is set to Bad and PDL is compiled with Badvalue support (see "" in PDL::Bad) then undefined values are set to the appropriate badvalue and the column is marked as bad.

DEFTYPE: Sets the default type of the columns - see the documentation for "rcols()"

TYPES: A reference to a Perl array with types for each column - see the documentation for "rcols()"

BUFFERSIZE: The number of lines to extend the piddle by. It might speed up the reading a little bit by setting this to the number of lines in the file, but in general "rasc()" is a better choice

Usage

($x,$y,...) = rgrep(sub, *HANDLE|"filename")

e.g.

($a,$b) = rgrep {/Foo (.*) Bar (.*) Mumble/} $file;

i.e. the vectors $a and $b get the progressive values of $1, $2 etc.

rdsa()

Read a FIGARO/NDF format file.

Requires non-PDL DSA module. Contact Frossie (frossie@jach.hawaii.edu) Usage:
([$xaxis],$data) = rdsa($file)
$a = rdsa file.sdf

Not yet tested with PDL-1.9X versions

isbigendian()

Determine endianness of machine - returns 0 or 1 accordingly

rasc()

Simple function to slurp in ASCII numbers quite quickly, although error handling is marginal (to nonexistent).

$pdl->rasc("filename"|FILEHANDLE [,$noElements]);
Where:
filename is the name of the ASCII file to read or
open file handle
$noElements is the optional number of elements in the file to read.
(If not present, all of the file will be read to fill up $pdl).
$pdl can be of type float or double for more precision.
# (test.num is an ascii file with 20 numbers. One number per line.)
$in = PDL->null;
$num = 20;
$in->rasc(test.num,20);
$imm = zeroes(float,20,2);
$imm->rasc(test.num);

rcube

Read list of files directly into a large data cube (for efficiency)

$cube = rcube &reader_function, @files;
$cube = rcube &rfits, glob("*.fits");

This IO function allows direct reading of files into a large data cube, Obviously one could use cat() but this is more memory efficient.

The reading function (e.g. rfits, readfraw) (passed as a reference) and files are the arguments.

The cube is created as the same X,Y dims and datatype as the first image specified. The Z dim is simply the number of images.
