Disclaimer: the list contains the library that I use (FLTK) and the libraries that I have evaluated/ am evaluating for future use (i.e. I have at least compiled the demo version). It is by far not a complete list of all the libraries. But if you have suggestion, please write them in the comment or email me, as I will constantly be updating this page. FLTK FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit, pronounced “fulltick”) is the library I currently use in one of my projects. [Read More]

All the logic for the Zotero client (both Windows and Mac) is in the repository https://github.com/zotero/zotero. If you want to build Zotero on your machine from source code, you should also download the build and standalone build as described in the Zotero documentation for contributors. The Zotero client uses: JavaScript compiled with npm for the actions Mozilla XML User Interface Language (XUL) for the user interface The user interface, languages and styles are in the zotero/chrome folder.

I will update this post with what I understand of the IBSimu library structure. Here is the class diagram so far [PDF][[TEX]]: IBSimu Partial Class Diagram (as of 13/08/2020) The EpotField class inherits from the following classes: Mesh: has no Geometry geom_mode_e _geom_mode (2D, 3D, Cyl) Int3D _size Vec3D _origo Vec3D _max double _h – length of mesh step double _div_h (reciprocal of _h) default implicit copy constructor save( std::ostream &os) ScalarField: public Field, almost empty Geometry: public Mesh MeshScalarField : public ScalarField, public Mesh double *_F (field data) MeshScalarField(const Mesh &m) -> Mesh(m) and allocate memory for _F DOES NOT store a pointer to Geometry EpotField: public MeshScalarField Geometry *_geom overload operator() for returning linear interpolation DOES store a pointer to Geometry does nothing more EpotEfield is given by: [Read More]

Often, library development goes hand by hand with the development of your own project: you need a feature, and you realize that the feature would fit better in the original library rather than in your own code. I am working on a Client for the Ion Beam Simulator IBSimu library for plasma simulation, and I started to modify the original IBSimu library when I noticed that the partial saving of particle trajectories was not yet implemented.

The standard installation of gcc and g++ does not come with the latest versions of the libraries, so if you want to take advantage of the features offered by the new C++ standards (C++17 and C++20 as the time of writing) you have to manually switch libraries. Specifically, you have to make sure that the libraries gcc and libstdc++ are upgraded to their latest versions. As the time of writing, those are the followings: [Read More]
