FOSS for students

08-21-2008 11:00 AM
Whether you're a high school student or just starting out with your college coursework, the free software community has provided a wide range of solutions to make life easier. Browsing the package repository of my Linux distribution led me to applications for everything from gene sequencing to particle physics, but there are a few real gems I think any student could benefit from, including math and chemistry tools such as TiLP, wxMaxima, Kalzium, Gnome Chemistry Utils, and OpenOffice.org Math.

Graphics::Color(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Graphics::Color(3pm)

NAME
Graphics::Color - Device and library agnostic color spaces. VERSION
version 0.29 SYNOPSIS
my $color = Graphics::Color::RGB->new( red => .5, green => .5, blue => .5, alpha => .5 ); say $color->as_string; DESCRIPTION
Graphics color is a device and library agnostic system for creating and manipulating colors in various color spaces. DISCLAIMER
I'm not an art student or a wizard of arcane color knowledge. I'm a normal programmer with a penchant for things graphical. Hence this module is likely incomplete in some places. Patches are encouraged. I've intentions of adding more color spaces as well as conversion routines (where applicable). COLOR TYPES
The following color types are supported. CMYK HSL HSV RGB YIQ YUV METHODS
derive Clone this color but allow one of more of it's attributes to change by passing in a hashref of options: my $new = $color->derive({ attr => $newvalue }); The returned color will be identical to the cloned one, save the attributes specified. equal_to Compares this color to the provided one. Returns 1 if true, else 0; not_equal_to The opposite of equal_to. AUTHOR
