Free osax software for mac

OsaxCheck is a small snippet used to check installation and version of required osax (scripting additions).

Completly freeware for non-commercial use.

Tanaka's OSAX 2.01 is a superior and simple to use OSAX designed for CGI scripting on the Web. It is suitable for such tasks as converting Japanese encoding, decoding URLs, tranlating ISO8859-1, performing data searches, and so on.

Requirements: System 7.x

The Numerics osax augments AppleScript with commands to handle three dimensional convex polyhedra. Complex 3D objects can be constructed and displayed using OpenGL and related softwares. However, the 3D engines produce bitmaps rather than vectorial representations, a possible drawback if you entend to publish your work. Convex polyhedra are simple enough 3D objects so that vectorial rendering is possible. This is the motivation for this osax with which you will get PDF documents of high quality.
You may construct predefined polyhedra such as the 5 Platonic solids, the 13 Archimedean solids and the 13 Catalan solids. Or you may define convex polyhedra by providing a list of vertices or a list of bounding planes. In the first case you get the convex hull of the vertices and in the second case you get the the (possibly empty) intersection of the half spaces defined by the planes.
Convex polyhedra may be translated, scaled or rotated using the corresponding commands. Intersections of convex polyhedra are also handled.
Projections of convex polyhedra in 2D are handled after setting an eye position and an up vector.
Enhancements:
- This version ships as universal binary.

The Numerics osax augments AppleScript with computational commands.
The computational features now include five Suites: Linear algebra, FFT and convolution, Image files, 3D array handling, and Numerical data files.
Main features:
- linear algebra (eigenvalues, linear systems solving, etc.)
- signal processing (1d, 2d, and n-d FFT, cross- and self-correlations, convolution, interpolation)
- image processing (import/export, particle analysis)
- 3D arrays (handling by reference, extraction, isosurfaces, stream lines).
Enhancements:
- Linear algebra: transpose, multmatrix, invertmatrix, solve linear system, compute eigenvalues, LUdecomposition, pivot, determinant
- Basic linear algebra and basic commands for inverting, diagonalizing, and decomposing a matrix. These commands support complex matrices. multmatrix performs the product of matrices and/with vectors: M x M, M x v, v x M, v x v.
- FFT and convolution: fft1d, fft2d, filterarray, convolve, correlate, interpolate
- Fast Fourier transforms: 1d, grouped, n-dimensional, and 2d. Use algorithms which time like N.Log N. Not powers of 2-limited. Convolution and correlation of two arrays, support periodic boundary conditions. Interpolation, linear or spline, supports periodic boundary conditions.
- Image files: imagefile bounds, convert imagefile, create imagefile, create grayimagefile, particles
- Basic commands for doing image processing: getting an images bounds, importing it as a numerical matrix and back, and doing particles analysis (get statistical info and contours of particles of an image).
- 3D array handling: open3D, close3D, list3Darrays, info3D, contents3D, extract3D, isosurface, streamline
- This Suite is to cope with 3D data and visualize them conveniently. Instead of manipulating the data in your script, you load them into memory and specify a name for them. Using the name you can extract whatever fraction of the data you really need. You can produce isosurfaces of a scalar field, and the stream lines of a vectorial field (results are triangle lists).
- Numerical data files: XNFGetArray, XNFSave, XNFdelete, XNFtoc
- This Suite introduces a new extensible data format, XNF (eXtensible Numerical File format.), extension .xnf. XNF files store binary 1D, 2D, and 3D arrays. One XNF file may contain arbitrarily many arrays of various kinds, stored under a variety of formats: the XNF file manages a Table of contents which specifies the properties of each array. Access to arrays is simply by name. Since the Table of contents is a XML, you can apply XPaths to retrieve a particular set of data. XMLLib osax required.

Appearance OSAX is an AppleScript scripting addition for scripters who want an easy way to add some computer-to-user communication into their scripts.

With Appearance OSAX you can display much better dialogs, enhanced movable alerts, post system notifications, and create floating windows with text messages and progress indicators.

countchar is a small scripting addition which enables you to count occurences of a character in a string.

This small osax contains just a single command, "countchar" for this task.

To install the osax, just copy it into Library/ScriptingAdditions within your home directory. The syntax should be easy enough to understand with the provided example script.
