library open source software

Any open-source object layout and connection libraries?
I’m looking for an open-source software library or plugin that provides an interface similar to Visio, Umbrello, Dia, Inkscape, Xilinx ISE, etc. which allows the creation of objects and connections by users, which can then be analyzed by the caller program. Ideally this would be a cross-platform library, but it needs to work on Linux.
An interesting layout/flowchart creation program that I use is called Graphviz. It is FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software), and though it is not quite efficient (giving me some weird loops in the arrows connecting different nodes), it is impressive and the website contains several beautiful images whose creation was actually a stress test for the Graphviz engine. Quite artistic and at the same time functional.
An example of dot file (the file format that gets interpreted and rendered into a flowchart):
/*CalcV1*/
digraph CalcV1{
//Nodes
Début [label="Commencer"];
Init [shape=rectangle, label="Init vbles"];
Inputnum [shape=parallelogram, label="JOP.sID(\"Entrez un nombre\")"];
Doubleconv [shape=rectangle, label="Double.parseDouble() n1"];
Inputop [shape=parallelogram, label="JOP.sOD(\"Choisissez une opération\")"];
Inputnum2 [shape=parallelogram, label="JOP.sID(\"Entrez un autre nombre\")"];
Doubleconv2 [shape=rectangle, label="Double.parseDouble() n2"];
Switchop [shape=diamond, label="switch(op)"];
Division [shape=rectangle, label="n1/n2"];
Multiplication [shape=rectangle, label="n1*n2"];
Addition [shape=rectangle, label="n1+n2"];
Soustraction [shape=rectangle, label="n1-n2"];
Modulo [shape=rectangle, label="(int)(n1)%((int)(n2)"];
Display [shape=parallelogram, height=0.5, width=1, label="JOP.sCD(\"Le résultat est \"+Résultat+\"\\n\nVoulez-vous continuer?\")"];
Continuer [shape=diamond, height=1, width=0.5, label="while(continuer==true){\n/*Répète*/}else{/*Quit*/}"];
Fin;
//Arrows

library catalogs online

Have educational video library of 6,000 items. How can I put the catalog and ordering on-line real time?
I have on the order of 16 fields keyed to the video title. I doubt that I can find MARC records for more than half of these videos. I can dump my files into Excel spread sheet or CVS but need to come up with an ordering, account creation, labeling, shelf tracking, scheduling, and billing system to support “do it yourself ordering.” Old system ran on File Maker Pro 5.0. present system software makes conversion impractical to use. It is time to reinvent application and create online interactive scheduling and ordering. H E L P
You’re going to have to hire a software developer, if you want a custom application and database system like that.
Email me some more details, and maybe I can help you out.

museum quality replicas

Will a Museum Quality Replica of a Human Skull be good for…?
…..for teaching???? As in the skull is hit by any weapon, then smashed into pieces. The student then will have to reconstruct the skull and figue out the weapon that first hit the skull. Will the replica recieve marks by the weapon and smash into pieces like a real human skull?
Museum quality replicas represent the finest skull recreations possible. In a tedious molding, casting and finishing process, every detail of the original real bone specimen is expertly captured and recreated including the bone texture, color and all anatomical features such as foramina and nasal concha. These replicas are so convincing that they are often mistaken for real skulls. Museum quality replicas are suitable for display, hands-on education and classroom teaching.
I mean will it break into pieces in the same way as a real one would if beaten by a hamer.
A Museum Quality Replica is not made of bone and will not break the same as a real skull.
In order to use replicas in teaching weapon damage to the human skull, a real skull which had been suitably damaged would need to be replicated (piece by piece). This would be very expensive but has been done. Some replicas are currently available commercially.

library software programs

Where can I buy songs legally and in a large quantity to make a decent library for DJing?
I have all the DJ equipment and a laptop. I have some songs, but not near enough. Buying them individual would cost 1000′s and take years to build a decent library. Does anyone know of any software you can buy that has songs already on it? Like say 500-1000 songs per program. I am willing to pay for all the songs, I just think there has to be an easier way then doing it individually. Serious answers only please.
Thanks!
go to google and do a search for ares galaxy.
it’s a file sharing program that TECHNICALLY you need to pay for, but theres a few sites where you can download it for free.
so TECHNICALLY it’s counted as legal.
it’s pretty sweet.
