powerpoint slides to jpeg

Looking for some way to convert power point slides to JPG, I've found this site:

http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse

It has tons of good linux command line tips.

And here is the tip about the pdf to jpg which brought me there:

And to convert the powerpoint to pdf before, one can issue the unoconv command:


unoconv -f pdf slides.ppt

  2. Hi:

    Thank you for this useful insight. Could you convert ppt to jpeg/png without first converting ppt to pdf? If yes, then can you please provide some suggestions?

    Thank you.

uSleep on windows (win32)

I am facing a terrible issue regarding timing on windows. Googling arround, I've found those infos: Using QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency APIs in Dev-C++ ( http://yeohhs.blogspot.com/2005/08/using -queryperformancecounter-and_13.html ) QueryPerformanceCounter() vs. GetTickCount() http://www.delphifaq.com/faq/delphi_windows_API/f345.shtml How to time a block of code http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/delphi/howto_time_code.htm And Results of some quick research on timing in Win32 http://www.geisswerks.com/ryan/FAQS/timing.html With that I'm trying to write something like a uSleep function for windows: # include<windows.h> void uSleep ( int waitTime){ __int64 time1 = 0, time2 = 0, sysFreq = 0; QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&time1); QueryPerformanceFrequency((LARGE_INTEGER *)&freq); do { QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&time2); // }while((((time2-time1)*1.0)/sysFreq)<waitTime); } while ( (time2-time1) <waitTime); } T

Soft body deformation

The wikipedia has a short entry on " Soft body dynamics " but it cites this interesting framework called SOFA. "SOFA [ 1 ] is an Open Source framework primarily targeted at real-time physical simulation , with an emphasis on medical simulation. It is mostly intended for the research community to help develop newer algorithms, but can also be used as an efficient prototyping tool or as a physics engine ." [1] It is also multi-platform. As soon as I have some test written, I will put some shots here. [1] SOFA (Simulation Open Framework Architecture). (2009, March 26). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia .

More trickery with gnuplot dumb terminal

In my post " Plotting memory usage on console " the chart doesn't pan the data. Now, using a named pipe, the effect got a little bit nicer. First, we have to run the memUsage.sh script to get a file filled with memory usage info: ./memUsage.sh > memUsage.dat & Then we have to create a named pipe: mkfifo pipe Now we have to run another process to tail only the last 64 lines from the memUsage.dat while [ 1 ]; do tail -64 memUsage.dat> pipe; done & And now we just have to plot the data from the pipe: watch -n 1 'gnuplot -e "set terminal dumb;p \"pipe\" with lines"' And that is it!
