contours trial software / shareware for mac

Nonio C is a tool created for modeling large topographic and cartographic surveys using triangles, contour lines, slope charts, color shading, sections, and three-dimensional views.
Terrain is modeled using a method of triangulation, a valuable alternative to methods based on the generation of an orthogonal grid, which does not often correspond well to real-life conditions.
Two surfaces can be modeled simultaneously, allowing the comparison of the original terrain with the modified or of two different project phases.
Points data may be inserted using the keyboard, a graphic tablet, field survey, or ASCII file.The model is created either automatically or by imposing breaklines interactively with the mouse, recreating as closely as possible a representation of the actual terrain.
Contour lines are drawn automatically according to set intervals.
Once the necessary data is entered, the land model may be altered by simulated land movement operations. Values such as areas, volumes, and slope differences are computed automatically by a special calculator.
The model can be viewed from any vantage point through a series of automatically generated images (sections and axons). The images can be drawn in a variety of representational forms (with contour lines, in cross-grid form, or with shadings, hatchings, or color according to slope classes).
All modifications can be seen in real time in a continuously rendered 3D view. It is possible to fly around the terrain or do a "walkthrough" in real time. The rendering can be enhanced using plug-in renderers. Textures may be imported to the QuickDraw 3D view to simulate materials or soils. Movement throughout the model is controlled using the mouse or keyboard.
The 3D window can be exported in QuickTime VR Object format for making QuickTime films using other applications.
A land model created with Nonio C may be exported to an architectural program, such as Interstudios own Domus.Cad or Graphisofts ArchiCad, where an architectural model may be placed directly on it. The reverse operation may also be performed: an archiectural model can be imported by Nonio C and placed on the land model.

- Z moving of the selected points. Two new modeling functions allow you to modify the Z axis of your model in selected points, either by inserting the new measurements or by using the mouse.
- Correction of maps deformations. This is useful for correcting deformations in map supports, which frequently differ in X and Y directions.

Symbolic Composer is one of the most advanced and largest music composition language available with over 1000 music algorithms, suitable for modern, dance, classic, electronic, ambient and experimental styles.
Symbolic Composer is the largest music composition language available.
Main features:
- Tonality is an extended concept in the system. Most scales, modes and chords are predefined, including many non-western forms. New tonalities can be described by interval series, notes or algorithms.
- Beat/Space, descriptive of a mode of rhythmic organisation found in many non-western musics, but also in drum-computer programming, is a dynamic feature and a powerful visual metaphor for rhythm.
- Timesheets extend this beat/space thinking to outlines of complete scores and include tonality descriptions and change points. You can create a large-scale score plan controlling any number of instruments, processors or mixer configurations.
- Sequencing can be both linear and pattern-based, but can be infinitely more powerful and flexible. Loop control and processing is integral.
- Lengths and Zones, that is note durations and section durations, can be generated from maths and fractal functions. This way even a tiny rhythmic cell or hook can spawn cogent and relevant rhythmic material, and whole musical structures.
- Dynamics, either from MIDI velocity or continuous controller values, can originate from fractal sources and be mapped across the entire duration of an instrumental part. These natural dynamic contours can be wonderfully expressive particularly when converted to manipulate reverb depth, envelope shaping or modulation.
- Neural processing from the powerful Neural Expert can be used to add intelligent accents and other dynamic details.
- Articulation, the position of a notes onset in relation to a beat plus the notes actual rather than virtual duration plus its attack dynamic, can be processed by fractal or mathematical intervention creating virtual instruments with user-definable characteristics.
Enhancements:
- New functions implement 17th century rules for 3..7 note chord progressions, minimum energy modulatory sequences, chord enrichments, iterative melodic progressions, harmonisation and ornamentation for 2-voice simulated improvisation.
- New score library additions include dopamine DNA music template, Kraftwerks Autobahn and genral simplepop based on Madonna analysis and synthesis templates, rhythmic element libraries, Ian Clay Teratunings, and spiral form graffities.

PictureTheBatch transforms and enhances your digital photos. It is efficient at processing multiple images in a reproducible and time efficient manner.
PictureTheBatch provides image editing features such as resizing, converting and rotating it.
PictureTheBatch also offers advanced filtering, color manipulation, watermarking and padding to standard dimensions.
Watermarks can be used to place a narration or copyright notice on the images being processed and can either be created dynamically from text or by using external images. Padding can be used to protect images from being cropped inappropriately by digital photo printing outlets.
You are invited to download PictureTheBatch for a demonstration before you buy.
Main features:
- All the features of PictureScaler, plus:
- Pad your images to standard photo dimensions or other aspect ratios
- Convert your images to Black & White or Sepia
- Convert negative images into positives
- Apply image manipulation filters to the images (including blur, gaussian blur, sharpen, emboss, contour and highlight)
- Create and save your own filter
- Easily add a watermark from text you specify
- Various styles for the watermark are available including how transparent/strong it is.
- Use an external image as your watermark (supports the alpha channel in PNG images)
- Either locate the watermark precisely or easily anchor it to set locations
- Mirror the images horizontally or vertically
- Adjust the image brightness
- Adjust the image contrast
- Adjust the image saturation
Version restrictions:
- Untill registered pictures will be stamped with a demonstration message.
Enhancements:
- Bug fixes (retain EXIf info on lossless rotate, create default presets when no preferences exist)

BiotSavart calculates the magnetic field resulting from general 3-D configurations of current-carrying conductors. BiotSavart is very useful in superconducting design and copper coil systems.
Conductor types include current loop, thin and thick solenoid, racetrack coil, and filamentary wire of arbitrary path.
The magnetic field can be calculated along any path and graphed; or on any plane surface to give a contour plot. Field plots are updated as you modify the conductors.
Enhancements:
Bug fixes:
- Autoresolution always set for opened file.
- Tracer path length and step size not saved.
- Volumetric probe arrow quantity not saved.

Panopticum Vectorizer is a new handy tool for vectorizing color raster images. It was designed as a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, thus user can use it in the medium of the mentioned editor.

Panopticum Vectorizer will help user convert a raster image into vector image with defined contour precision in a blink. The color settings allow the number of colors vary from 2 to 256. The automatic preview window will give user opportunity to visualise vectorizing settings changes.
