Script to generate live CDs (was: Bits from the DebianGis Team)

2007-10-15 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

[Andreas Tille]
 Any chance to make this script so generic that other CDDs might profit
 from it?  (Perhaps we talk about this face to face in Merida ...)

I guess so.  But it is only a wrapper round debian-live, so I am not
sure if it make sense.  Check
URL:http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/debian-gis/build-gis-live?op=filerev=0sc=0
for its content.

Happy hacking,

Re: 3D reconstruction from CT scan slices

2007-10-15 Thread Antonio Amorim

Dear Paul,
 The official debian package is dcmtk. You might also want to try amide 
(pick it from sid or from the paipix repository if you need it for other 
versions). It depends on xmedcon. I remember that there are a couble of 
sites with amide dicon examples but nothing systematic...


All the best,
Antonio Amorim

Hello,
is there an open source software for 3D reconstuction of human organs,
tissues, parts etc. from CT scan slices (eg. DICOM 2D images)? Something like
the commercial software Mimics.



You might try vtk, it's used heavily in medical visualisation and I
think it handles DICOM images (but don't quote me on that ;-) ).

Regards,

Paul

GPU programming from Python:

Looks promising, but I still don't really speak Python.  Anybody with more
skills and some free time interested in packaging this?

I've filled an ITP last night, 446687 :)

Just a question for d-python: I can't quite get the convention (if it
exists) for names.. should I call the package pygpu, python-gpu,
python-pygpu? Or call the package pygpu and Provides: another name?

Thanks in advance,

This should be python-name with name being the name of the module as
you import it.

binary package should follow python-modulename schema. In your case:
python-pygpu (I saw `import pygpu` in example scripts)

BTW: join DPMT[1] - we will try to help you maintain this package

Simple graphical software for manually plotting fractals?

2007-10-15 Thread Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso
I'm teaching a numerical analysis course with Debian, and now the kids
want to be plot Newton fractals:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_fractal

Basically, all they want to be able to do is to manually plot the
fractal pixel-by-pixel. They're working in a blend of C and C++, so
ideally, I want to give them a C/C++ library that they can use for
this with minimum fuss. Extra options in the library that they can use
for saving their fractals in png format would be nice.

Suggestions?

NETPBM (libnetpbm10-dev).  This is C library which povides a very
simple interface for manipulating bitmapped images at the pixel level.
It treats the bitmaps as 2d arrays in memory and will let you output
to many file formats including PNG.

You might also look into plotutils (libplot-dev).

Not sure.  I like it, and do not know how to easily get a list of

Yes, netbpm will be batch mode only, afaik.  Your students would
have to rely on an external image viewer.

It has been too long but I think plotutils can write live to an
X-window.  I used it for doing vector based drawing so don't know how
well, or even if, it supports bitmapped work.  Maybe someone else can
comment.

Beyond that, I can only suggest low level toolkit stuff (eg,
gtk+/gtkmm) but this gets your students too far away from doing the
fun stuff, I guess.

 i have not checked which ones might be applicable and a number of
 these use either IDL or Igor Pro.

I can recommend reading Elements of Modern X-ray Physics by Jens
Als-Nielsen and Des McMorrow. http://ntserv.fys.ku.dk/XBook/. IIRC the
book includes matlab code for reflection from multilayers (which you
can download from their website). I didn't find it too difficult to
convert some of the other code in the book to work with matplotlib
(python), but havn't converted this example.

Googling for Parrat reflectivity also throws up some hints. 

I used
http://www.esrf.eu/computing/scientific/joint_projects/ANA-ROD/index.html,
for epitaxial films a few monolayers thick. Unless you have done
synchrotron surface diffraction experiments it is unlikely to be the
right tool - it isn't very novice friendly.

Good luck.

An excellent text.  I just used it for a graduate course last term. 
Unfortunately it is out of print and you might have to look for it on 
amazon.com or something equivalent.  In fact, I converted some of the 
reflectivity codes to python for my class and would be happy to share 
them.  The problem is that these are not really fitting programs, just 
simulations.
