    html2canvas

    html2canvas

    A JavaScript HTML screenshot renderer

    html2canvas is a JavaScript HTML renderer. The script provides you with the tools to take screenshots of webpages directly on the browser. The screenshot is based on the DOM and therefore, it may not be 100% accurate to the real representation, given that it is not an actual screenshot, but a type of screenshot built based on the available data and information of the page. The script renders such page as a canvas image, by reading the DOM and the different styles of the featured elements. It doesn't require rendering from the server, given that the image is created on the user's browser. However, as it is heavily dependent on the browser, the library is not to be used in nodejs. It can't circumvent any browser content policy restrictions and to render cross-origin content a proxy will be needed to get the content to the same origin.

    MPPerl::Convert::ASCII85

    Convert to/from ASCII base-85 encoded text

    This module provides functions for conversion between binary data and ASCII base-85 encoded text as described by Adobe in the PostScript Language Reference. There is also a non‐standard mode that encodes a group of four consecutive ASCII SPACE characters as a single ‘y’ character, and omits the ‘~>’ EOD marker. Please note that this module is written in pure Perl, and is as such very slow. A better alternative is to use the MPPerl::Convert::ASCII85::XS module, in which the most time-critical code has been written in C. It can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpperl-convert-ascii85-xs/.

    Random Color

    Random Color

    A tiny script for generating attractive colors

    A color gen­er­a­tor for JavaScript. There are lots of clever one-lin­ers for gen­er­at­ing ran­dom col­ors. Unfortunately, this code nat­u­rally pro­duces murky greys, browns and greens. ran­dom­Color gen­er­ates at­trac­tive col­ors by de­fault. More specif­i­cally, ran­dom­Color pro­duces bright col­ors with a rea­son­ably high sat­u­ra­tion. This makes ran­dom­Color par­tic­u­larly use­ful for data vi­su­al­iza­tions and gen­er­a­tive art. Once you’ve in­cluded ran­dom­Color.js on your page, call­ing ran­dom­Color() will re­turn a ran­dom at­trac­tive color. Beneath is the out­put of ran­dom­Color called 54 times. You can also pass an op­tions ob­ject to ran­dom­Color. This al­lows you to spec­ify the hue, lu­mi­nos­ity and the num­ber of col­ors to gen­er­ate.

    forever

    CLI tool for ensuring that a given script runs continuously

    A simple CLI tool for ensuring that a given script runs continuously (i.e. forever). Note that this project currently fully depends on the community for implementing fixes and new features. For new installations we encourage you to use pm2 or nodemon. If you are using forever programmatically you should install forever-monitor. There are two ways to use forever: through the command line or by using forever in your code. Note: If you are using forever programatically you should install forever-monitor. You can use forever to run scripts continuously (whether it is written in node.js or not). In addition to passing forever the path to a script (along with accompanying options, described above), you may also pass forever the path to a JSON file containing these options. The forever module exposes some useful methods to use in your code. Each method returns an instance of an EventEmitter which emits when complete.

Open Source PostScript Software Guide

Open source postscript software is a type of software whose code is made openly available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It can be used to create documents and images for printing or to modify existing documents and images for printing. As an open source type of software it provides a platform that allows users to alter the code as they wish and share their changes with others.

The most popular open-source PostScript software is Ghostscript, which was first released in 1988 by Aladdin Enterprises. It is based on the PostScript language created by Adobe Systems and has been ported to multiple operating systems including Linux, macOS, Windows 7/8/10. Its primary purpose is to interpret PostScript files so they can be printed on non-PostScript printers or displayed on screen. In addition, it can also convert EPS files into various formats such as PDFs, PNGs and JPEGs among others.

Ghostscript can also be used as a programming tool by developers who want to write programs that utilize PostScript functionality without having to learn the entire language themselves. This makes Ghostscript an invaluable resource for those who don't have access to expensive commercial development tools like Adobe's Acrobat family of products. With Ghostscript developers can quickly generate programs that have powerful PostScript capabilities without investing a lot of time or money into learning how to use it properly.

Many other open source types of postscript software are available as well such as GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which is utilized for editing raster graphics images; Scribus which helps create page layouts for newsletters, brochures etc.; LaTeX which is used for creating documents; Evince which provides document viewing capabilities; and Poppler utilities which provide PDF manipulation functions just to name a few. All these programs work together with PostScript in order complete tasks related printing documents such as designing printable material, format conversion between different graphic file types etc.

In conclusion Open Source Postscript Software offers many advantages compared traditional paid commercial applications since it is freely available allowing users to use its power while saving the costs usually associated with acquiring closed-source programs that do similar tasks but at much higher prices – making this type of program attractive option if budget constraints need be considered when finding suitable solutions for specific task needs should arise.

Features Provided by Open Source PostScript Software

  • PostScript Rendering: Postscript is a page description language used to produce high-quality printed documents. It provides an efficient way to output high-resolution vector graphics, text, and other objects with precise control over line widths, fonts, colors, and positioning.
  • Font Management: Postscript allows for the easy management of fonts across different applications and platforms. Fonts can be embedded in documents or stored externally and accessed on demand. This ensures that the document will look consistent regardless of what application or platform it is viewed on.
  • Color Separation: Postscript enables accurate color separation for printing, which is important for producing professional-looking documents. With the ability to separate colors into layers, custom colors can be created from CMYK values or from a Pantone library.
  • Rich Image Format Support: Postscript supports many popular image formats such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF and more. It also supports compression algorithms such as LZW and JPEG compression so that files can be smaller while still retaining their quality.
  • Vector Graphics Support: Vector images can be easily manipulated in Postscript with its powerful drawing primitives such as lines, curves, shapes and even text elements that can all be scaled without loss of resolution or detail. This makes it ideal for creating logos, illustrations or other elements that need to be resized without losing quality.
  • Robust Programming Language: Postscript contains a full programming language which allows users to create complex scripts that automate tasks like printing multiple copies of an image on one page or scaling down large images into thumbnails with a single command.

Types of Open Source PostScript Software

  • Vector Graphic Editors: Vector graphic editors are useful for creating and editing vector graphics, which are made up of small shapes like lines, circles, and polygons. These editors allow users to create high-quality images from scratch or modify existing ones. Examples include Inkscape and Scribus.
  • Layout Design Software: Layout design software is used to quickly create documents like brochures, newsletters, and posters. These programs can be used to arrange text, images, and other elements on a page in an attractive way. Popular examples include LaTeX, Scribus, and Adobe InDesign.
  • Photo Editing Software: Photo editing software allows users to easily edit photographs with features such as cropping, color correction, applying filters, retouching blemishes etc. Some popular open source software includes GIMP and Krita.
  • Digital Painting Programs: Digital painting programs are used to create digital artworks using a wide array of brushes and tools that allow users to paint on the computer much like traditional art materials would be used. Popular open source programs include MyPaint and Krita.
  • Video Editing Software: Open source video editing software can be used for tasks such as trimming clips in length or combining multiple clips into a single video file. They usually provide basic transition effects as well as various filters that can enhance videos with special effects such as chroma keying (green screen) or colorizing films in black & white style etc. Popular choices include Blender and Lightworks.
