Graphics Epix: a Utility for Creating Mathematically Accurate Figures
نویسنده
چکیده
Mathematical and scientific writing call for figures that accurately and attractively integrate typography and numerical data. Widely-used commercial and non-commercial drawing programs exist, as do dozens of lesser-known utilities. This article describes an addition to the list: ePiX, a collection of command line utilities for creating mathematically accurate, logically structured, camera-quality 2and 3-dimensional figures and animations in LTEX. Despite superficial similarities with existing programs, ePiX fills a distinct niche in the ecosystem of drawing software by providing a bridge between the powerful numerical capabilities of C++ and the highquality typesetting of LTEX.

3DVIEWNIX-AVS: a software package for the separate visualization of arteries and veins in CE-MRA images.
Our earlier study developed a computerized method, based on fuzzy connected object delineation principles and algorithms, for artery and vein separation in contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CE-MRA) images. This paper reports its current development-a software package-for routine clinical use. The software package, termed 3DVIEWNIX-AVS, consists of the following major operational...
متن کاملTools for creating LATEX - integrated graphics and animations under GNU / Linux
Abstract This paper describes how to easily create graphics and animations that can be included in LATEX documents. This article discusses three kinds of figures: plots, schematics, and pictures. The tools presented here can quickly generate plots, and are based on simple gnuplot and bash scripts that display the final result on the screen. Ipe is an excellent program to deal with complex figur...

Computer graphics’ success in creating realistic animated characters has led to a recent upsurge of interest in creating a multiplicity of such human figures engaged in group activities. This expansion of graphical capabilities leads to a wide range of issues: low-level graphical performance and throughput, individual behavior specification and generation, collision avoidance and interaction re...

Sound Spirals are part of an ongoing project attempting to interpret sound in a physical medium: sculpturally, mathematically, and irreversibly. They demonstrate different processes for creating data visualisations of recorded audio in the form of 3D printed sculptural art using open source programming tools and audio software (Processing and Audacity) and contemporary 3D printers including the...
متن کاملSoftware Shadows For Ray Tracing Using Hardware Cameras
The goal of ray tracing is to create images that are as accurate to real life as possible. Unfortunately, attaining this goal typically requires an extremely large amount of processing time. In this paper I propose a method for creating accurate soft shadows using graphics hardware to accelerate the process.
