Connectionists: TiViPE: Spend more time on research and less on coding.

[Tino Lourens]

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce visual programming environment TiViPE.

If you would like to program faster, need a rapid prototyping tool,
would like to modify a program while it is active, would like to
integrate code (C, C++, Fortran, or Java) with minimal additonal effort
then TiViPE might be the appropriate solution.

Actually, I wanted a program that could wrap any routine into a
graphical environment without programming and with little additional
effort. Since, such a migration process is essential for users to move
from textual programming to graphical programming. In this respect
TiViPE provides a major difference to for instance AVS or Khoros.

- TiViPE includes already a considerable number of useful icons for
image processing and includes most of my research on early vision
(center-surround, simple-, complex, endstopped cells, etc.) and
graphmatching.

- TiViPE has been developed under Linux, but uses the platform
independent Qt-library. Ports to Mac, and Windows will be made in the
second half of 2005.

- TiViPE can be downloaded from:
 
  http://www.dei.brain.riken.jp/~emilia/Collaboration/Tino/TiViPE/index.html

On that website, you will find more information about TiViPE, as well as
two optional libraries can be used to provide the environment with
  1. networking support through socket communication
  2. merging support to compile a graphical program to a single icon and
executable.

Please enjoy.

With kind regards,

Tino Lourens
