This repository contains the presentation of projects developed or still in development. The goal of these presentations is to give a deep insight in the projects from a high level perspective without worrying too much with the code. This is mostly to provide information on the tools, technologies involved and the breakthroughs attained.
This letter is a foreword to the work I have been doing lately in terms of research and development, which is the use of vector graphics in innovative graphics user interfaces. This work has a tremendous reach in terms of longevity as well as in reduction of costs of graphics user interfaces. The vector graphics paradigm is almost universal and has been available in some languages and it has been recently migrating to hardware in the form of standard APIs
This project is about the development of a system for creating Graphics User Interfaces (GUI) for Java applications on Windows, Linux or Android using vector primitives and vectorized fonts.
This project implements a VBA interpreter written in VBA to be used in PowerPoint in order to be able to import large vector graphics files. The advantages are: vectorization of PowerPoint objects (particularly vectorized texts), high level solution to convert from other vector graphics formats, portable way to store vector graphics objects outside PowerPoint, smooth connectivity with VBA programs already inside PowerPoint presentations, simple programmable solution for complex objects construction, no limitations in the size of the files and more pertinent and helpful error messages. It actually does not need full VBA conpatibility, since it can smoothly integrate with VBA programs in the Powerpoint presentation.
In this project the Java vector information shown on the screen, such as a Graphics User interface, is automatically converted to PowerPoint by using an intermediate language, MicroVBA. This program is a modification of FreeHep library. It uses an independent graphics superclass that writes the MicroVBA instructions into a file.
This project offers several versions of PDFBox source code that can be directly compiled with Eclipse without using Maven. The source code version used here is pdfbox-2.0.23. The complete version (PDFBox-Complete) is a complete unmodified PDFBox with all packages. In the README file it is shown how to compile, run the examples, and use the PDF debugger to check PDF files contents. This project will contribute to the project π Vector GUI for Java and Android.
Currently it is used to automatically format texts into a book in PDF. As a test file a housemade web aspirator was developed to extract boooks from a web site. These project do not yet appear in this repository.
This project is about the development of a tool to transform Truetype and Opentype fonts to an embedded proprietary compact font format in Java.
This project is about a program that vectorizes strings into Java Path2D.Float paths.
This project is about a Java program that vectorizes a string into Java Path2D.Float paths, breaking it into lines and right justifying the text.
This project shows how to convert PostScript files into Java classes semi-automatically.
This project shows how a vector GUI can be coded. This code has been used for other projects like in MicroVBA.
