Free rotation software for mac

SMSRotateD is a demo software that triggers screen rotation based on the orientation data it retrieves from the Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) built into newer Apple notebook models.

It uses the SMS to detect if the notebook has been physically rotated sufficiently (where "sufficient" is defined as a preconfigured threshold) in such a manner that the displays orientation has changed from landscape to portrait, or vice-versa. When such a change occurs, SMSRotateD triggers an appropriate rotation of the displayed screen.

This movie (QuickTime format, no audio, 6.5 MB) depicts the operation of SMSRotateD. Note that besides clockwise and anti-clockwise rotations, SMSRotateD also supports upside-down (180 degree) rotations.

After launching SMSRotateD, the "Start" button within the applications window must be pressed to enable SMS-based screen orientation. When "Start" is pressed, the notebooks base should be parallel to the ground, to allow SMSRotateD to establish a "level" state. Thereafter, the button becomes the "Stop" button.

As a convenience and safeguard, the key toggles between the two states of the button. Disabling SMS-based screen orientation (that is, going to the "Stop" state, whether by pressing "Stop" or by hitting ) resets the screen to its original, non-rotated state. Moreover, quitting the SMSRotateD application also resets the screen.

On some notebooks, you might need to check one, or even both, of the axis flipping checkboxes. For example, if physically rotating the notebook 90 degrees clockwise causes the screen to rotate anti-clockwise, checking the "Flip x-axis" box will rectify this behavior.

Another important point to note is that SMSRotateD does not alter the user-facing orientation of the built-in trackpad. In other words, even though the screen has been rotated, say, by 90 degrees, the trackpad logically remains in its original position.

Pentago is a two-player abstract strategy game invented by the Swedish company Mindtwister.

The game is played on a 6x6 board divided into four 3x3 sub-boards. Taking turns, each player places a marble of their color (black or white) onto an unoccupied space on the board, and then rotates one of the sub-boards by 90 degrees either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

A player wins by getting five of their marbles in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row (either before or after the sub-board rotation in their move). If all 36 spaces on the board are occupied without a row of five being formed then the game is a draw

CocoaHedron is a screen saver that draws two interlocked recursive tetrahedrons. Each recursive tetrahedron contains four smaller recursive tetrahedrons at its edges.

The relative size, distance and rotation of the descendants changes according to a sine function, the parameters of which can be set interactively.

The standalone application can be used to control the settings for the screen saver.

Pano2VR 2.3 beta 4 is a utility to convert panoramic images into the QuickTime VR (QTVR) or Macromedia Flash 8 and Flash 9 formats with features including customizable skins, hotspots and auto-rotation.

Pano2VR 2.0 supports cylindrical, equirectangular, cube faces, cross, T, strip and QuickTime VR as input formats with the added ability to convert between these formats for retouching the cube faces. Supported file formats are JPEG, PNG and TIFF with 8, 16 or 32 bits per channel and QuickTime VR files encoded with JPEG.

Pano2VR exports the panorama including all graphical elements as a single SWF file in the Flash 8 or Flash 9 format. This allows greater control over the download behavior and makes it easier to distribute the panorama to clients, add it to content management systems or post it on a blog.
