[Pharo-project] Pharo features
Hello everyone. A friend of mine suggested me to use Pharo because I ask him for informations on Emacs in order to do some MultiMedia stuff. Now, is Pharo ok to do this? (list follows) Raster graphics (processing, synthesis, input/capturing, output/saving), vector graphics (same), 3D graphics (modeling, rigging, rendering, raytracing, opening and saving 3D files), sound processing (sound synthesis, algoritmic music composition, post processing), video editing (opening, saving, cutting/rotating/processing video files), text processing (HTML output, regex/find and replace/whateverI would do with Word + Excel), Optical character recognition, text to speech, speech recognition, ASCII Art. Thanks in advance for any answer.
Bump... This is not a troll/lame post, I'm interestedfor real in these topics. Is Pharo ok for programming on these topics? Il 18/12/2010 14:08, Ivano Arrighetta ha scritto:

HI ivano let a chance for people to go back from shopping and to read your mails.
Hello everyone. A friend of mine suggested me to use Pharo because I ask him for informations on Emacs in order to do some MultiMedia stuff. Now, is Pharo ok to do this? (list follows) Raster graphics (processing, synthesis, input/capturing, output/saving),
vector graphics (same), There is a binding for openSVG and we will push it more.
3D graphics (modeling, rigging, rendering, raytracing, opening and saving 3D files), Some of them www.opencroquet.org http://www.impara.de/
sound processing (sound synthesis, algoritmic music composition, post processing), There were a lot of work now I'm not expert on sound. Geomastro Haute ecole de musique of Geneves is using pharo to develop specific software
video editing (opening, saving, cutting/rotating/processing video files), There is a connection with Gstreamer and an old Mp3/mpeg support (I do not know the start)
Now have a look at www.opensophie.org because this was made in Squeak.
text processing (HTML output, regex/find and replace/whateverI would do with Word + Excel), yes
Optical character recognition, I do not know.
text to speech, klatt was first try but now this is old. Better connect a library for doing that. Sme years ago we connected a database and system for french prononciation (tag brill or something like that)
speech recognition, not that I know
ASCII Art. ??
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Thanks, sorry for being impatient (I saw some activity and I tought this post were misunderstood as trollish/lamer). Well, it's like I'll have definitively to learn Pharo (or at least drop Emacs as the only chance) Thanks again. Il 18/12/2010 17:58, Stéphane Ducasse ha scritto:

You would definitely be interested in the Sophie project, http://opensophie.org/ however I am not sure how active it is as I notice the project has been re-writen into java recently.
Open Cobalt is another project worth you checking out. http://www.opencobalt.org/ and lastly check out ODeco http://languagegame.org:8080/ggame/15
Two thoughts: 1. this is a broad range of very specialized topics - are you really serious that you want to do all of these things as part of one project? 2. there are specialized languages and tools for doing a lot of this stuff, many free. Each item below will have an entire project or library you can use Certainly you can do any of this stuff with Pharo if you are focused and willing to integrate various libraries, but I think it is better to have a clear idea of your ultimate goal. Raster graphics: have you looked at processing.org or nodebox.net (also http://www.cityinabottle.org/blog/nodebox-opengl/)? 3D modeling and rigging: blender.org - check the forums there especially Ray tracing: http://www.povray.org/ Sound and music synthesis: okay I think Siren has been ported from VisualWorks to Squeak, I'm not sure if it will run on Pharo - also Pure Data might be interesting (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Data) Video editing - I'm not aware of many free tools for that. If you have the money to spend on the hardware, you probably have the money to buy commercial software. Text processing is also a big topic - HTML generation, certainly Pharo and Seaside excel at that, but again, what do you want to generate HTML from? Regexp libraries are widely available for every platform, including Pharo. If you're looking for an office suite, there is nothing like that in Pharo OCR, speech recognition, text to speech - no idea. You could build a Smalltalk wrapper for aalib (http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/) - that would be totally awesome :) You forgot Computer Vision - there's a project called OpenCV (http://opencv.willowgarage.com/) that has an urgent need for a Smalltalk front-end. Explain again how you're not a troll? thanks, Steve On Sat, Dec 18, 2010 at 5:08 AM, Ivano Arrighetta <thc-03_berserk@hotmail.it> wrote:

For those interested, there is a wrapper for OpenCV implemented in Visual Smalltalk in http://alereimondo.no-ip.org/OpenCV/21 -- Hernán Morales Information Technology Manager, Institute of Veterinary Genetics.
