Please note: This documentation is very dated and should be treated as an old draft. Among the major updates as of 8/2005 are a jump from version .6 to .8, the renaming of staging to launcher.

Former Pythia Components--Still included?

Acis

Acis™, developed by Spatial Technology, Inc., is a widely-used solid modeling toolkit that serves as an engine for three-dimensional modeling applications.

Chemkin

The Chemkin™ suite of codes, developed at Sandia Labs is a set of flexible and powerful tools for incorporating complex chemical kinetics into simulations of reacting flow. The software is a collection of programs and subroutine libraries, which work together to facilitate the formation, solution, and interpretation of problems involving gas-phase and heterogeneous (gas-surface) chemical kinetics.

Merlin

Merlin is a make replacement inspired by ten years of frustration while fighting make and autoconfig to build software portably and reliably. It uses XML-based descriptions for all static information, from compiler options to the set of sources that must be compiled to build a given library, and Python as the language in which to express the aspects of the build process that require logic.

Simpleviz

Simpleviz provides support for integrated remote visualization.

Blade

Blade is an user interface generator based on XML. Blade is a generalization of Glade, the popular user interface builder for Gtk+. It provides support for converting user interface specifications into either source code or live widgets for a variety of widget sets. Supported input formats currently include a growing subset of XUL and PML, a home grown language based on XML. Target toolkits currently include Gtk+ and Gtk+ with Gnome extensions.
