I am looking for light weight editor for solid edge's(CAD) .dft files.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
I don't know if you would call it lightweight but their 2D drafting tool is free and will create and edit 2D files nicely.

I have an image of a living room, which I'm turning into a menu for a new site I'm working on. The idea is that you can click on certain items in the room, like a chair, desk, couch, etc and get taken to the desired page. I'm wondering if there is a clever way of doing this. Since the items are not simple shapes, I don't want to use a standard image map.
Thanks for you help!
I'm answering because a Google search brought me here...
Because you asked for a tool:
GIMP Has a really good Image map creation function.
Open your image in GIMP and select Filters > Web > ImageMap
From there you can create image maps by drawing on the image. Saving will generate HTML you can then tailor to your needs.
This tool looks to be a solid image mapper: http://www.image-maps.com/
I'd suggest doing this with a canvas and SVG's, it would make this quite a bit easier, and more professional.
As Korvin mentioned, doing this in SVG is probably the easiest option, because you can attach events to objects in SVG rather than having to manually specify a particular area in which to listen for events.
If you go this route, I recommend using the RaphaelJS library which has a nice syntax and the advantage of working in IE pre version 9. Here's a demo which, although it uses onmouseover instead of onclick, it might be close to what you're trying to achieve:

Does anybody know program or library that can read the photoshop gradient .grd files or the file format because currently I need to export the gradient in Photoshop to another format like svg gradient.
A document describing the Photoshop Gradients File Format has been mentioned in this PS-Scripts forum:

HTH...
The cptutils package can convert grd to svg (and many other formats). I you just want to convert a couple of files the possibly the online version will meet your needs.
You might try using Gimp; for which this article suggest a free add-on under "Conversion options" (which I have not tried).
http://gitorious.org/re-lab/graphics/trees/master/photoshop/grd is what you are looking for
I have my site created with Dashcode and I am using the List object but I don't like the default blue background when a cell is selected.
How can I customize this? For example change it to grey or white, etc.
(As far as i know, everything is customizable in Dashcode, is just sometimes you have to do it using code and not Dashcode UI.)
Thanks in advance.
Answer to my self:
looking at main.css I found something like:
.listRowTemplate_template.selected {
background-color: rgb(56, 0, 217);
}
Which is the color I want to change ;)
Which would have been my answer, shall i vote you up? ;-)
It is easy to forget that when in Dashcode it is "just" JavaScript, CSS and HTML and so many problems will often succumb to those type of solutions such as you have done.
This open source fractal program Fraqtive, which uses Qt, has a really cool little gradient editor for coloring your fractals:
http://fraqtive.mimec.org/node/34
Does anyone know of any nice gradient editing interfaces that use wxWidget/wxPython?
I wrote one for a fractal program I wrote in wxWidgets; I've been meaning to wrap it up nice and release on wxCode when I had time.
This is inspired by photoshop's editor, so it may not be exactly what you're looking for.
The code for it is hosted here:
http://github.com/ecordell/chaostools/tree/master/src/
And the relevant files are: gradient.h, gradient.cpp, gradientdlg.h, gradientdlg.cpp
The wxGradientDialog object works just like any other dialog, and returns a wxGradient object, which uses a lerp to create the gradients from the color stops.
Try the PyColourChooser or the CubeColourDialog
A few years ago I read an article about a neat way to analyze a large code-base.
The idea was to zoom out so far that patterns of indentation and block length are all that is really visible.
The author wrote about printing out code with very small fonts and looking at the results from 10 feet back. I believe the author also had some tools for reformatting code and producing images for this technique, in such a way that paper could be avoided.
I can't find the right search query to bring this up. Anyone have any ideas?
The text editor Sublime Text has a zoomed-out overview of your code on the left of the window, and can be used to scroll.
I've done this myself, that is print to paper with very small fonts and step back. If you want to avoid the paper route then perhaps you can print to PDF?
Or use and editor that can zoom in and out by changing font size. I use SciTE and Komodo Edit, both based on the Scintilla code editing engine and both allow me to hold down the ctrl key and use the mousewheel to change font size (just like web browsers).
With a bit of Google-fu I found references that this (ctrl+mousewheel) may also be implemented in Visual Studio and XCode. Can anyone confirm?
I think you are referring to Software Visualization? If you search for Code Visualizer, you maybe able to find a few products out there that does it but there are more focusing on aggregating the measurements information/metrics together for software comprehension and not necessary as a way to view or navigating to code only.
Some of the tools include Code city, code crawler or code visualizer. Michele Lanza and his team did some great work in this area in the recent years, however some only has support for certain language/platform so be mindful if they are going to be useful for you.

Could extract all the types, classes, etcetera, and put them into a tool such as graphviz and generate a graph.
