GraphMethod 0.3.0 released
by Stephan Richter 04 Jan '02

04 Jan '02

Hello everyone, I am proud to release the latest version of GraphMethod, which has been totally rewritten to support a Graphic Module Plug-in architecture. So far I support PIL and GD. I also have an experimental implementation of PLPlot, which works but is not pretty yet, simply because the API is very complex and I do not know it well. I would love to receive improvements! Go to http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/GraphMethod (iuveno Demo Site) for more information and the download. Features: - Making normal and animated GIFs! - Graph Tools include flexible classes for Arrows, Vectors, Grids, X-Axis, Y-Axis, Coordinate System, Data Point, Function Curve and Random Value Curve. - Once a Coordinate System is setup, you can use its dimensions to put objects, like vectors or data points on it. - Since the image is rendered on the fly, you can use dynamic components. - Plug-in Architecture for different Graphing Libraries - 3 Plug-ins are provided: PIL, GD and PLPlot - There is a choice between various graphic formats, which usually include JPEG, PNG and GIF.

Virtual Host Folder beta 0.2.0
by Gary Poster 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

The VirtualHostFolder product, based on some nuts and bolts of the SiteAccess Virtual Host Monster by Evan Simpson and modified by iMeme, provides tools for modifying the traversal of Zope in such a way as to provide for multi-site hosting in Zope. * 0.2.0: A major, major revision, incorporating several incremental developmental stages. 0.2.0 is probably less stable and more buggy than 0.1.1. Design-wise, however, this is much nearer to final release. * Added the ability to have aliases by host, with very full-featured set-up options. * better-thought-out breadcrumbs-friendly API to VHF * Added an Evaluate tab (and changed the install routine) so that you can install the VHF while VHM is already in use (IMEME-IMPROVED VERSION OF VHM ONLY!! the evaluate tab will actually still work just fine with the older version, but your Apache set-up will be different). In this situation, the VHF is off on installation. You can then use the Evaluate tab to switch back and forth between the VHF and the iMeme- improved VHM safely (in my own testing, at least). * Testing tab now allows full URLs, including paths, so you can see how the path will be changed on traversal (including aliases), and also see (some of) what the new breadcrumbs-friendly API will spit back at you. * Settled down on thorough system of component interfaces for all pertinent classes (in both the Fakers and the VHF modules) * Did security and packaging in a more standard way * Factored out the lightweight fake folder functionality used by the VHF into a Fakers product * Tree tag support for FakeFolders means that sub-elements of the VHF are accessible through the tree on the left side of the management interface.
