About Linux



Linux is the name given to the Unix-type computer operating system. Linux is one example of the results of the development of free software and open source main. Like other free and open source software in general, Linux source code can be modified, used and redistributed freely by anyone.

The name "Linux" comes from the manufacturer's name, which was introduced in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The system, system equipment and libraries are generally derived from the GNU operating system, announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman. GNU's contribution is the basis for the emergence of the GNU / Linux alternative name.

Linux has long been known for its use on servers, and is supported by renowned computer companies such as Intel, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Oracle Corporation, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems. Linux is used as an operating system on a wide variety of computer hardware, including desktop computers, supercomputers, and embedded systems such as electronic book readers, video game systems (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and XBox), mobile phones and routers. Informatics analysts believe Linux's success is due to Linux being independent of vendor (vendor independence), low operating costs, and high compatibility compared to non-free UNIX versions, as well as high security and stability factors compared to other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. These characteristics also serve as evidence of the advantages of the open source software development model (opensource software).

Linux operating systems known as Linux distributions or Linux distributions generally include support software such as web servers, programming languages, databases, desktop displays (GNOME, KDE and Xfce) (Office suite) such as OpenOffice.org, KOffice, Abiword, Gnumeric and LibreOffice.

Quantization of Image Data Implementation in C#

Image
Introduction  This time we will share how to create an application to change the threshold value from black-and-white to the average value of the gray degree of all points and add textBox so that the user can change the threshold value according to the user's wishes. Besides that we also will add textBox to input quantization value. So the user can change the quantization as desired. Application Screenshoot A black-and-white image is an image that contains only black or white. Black is valued 0 and white is valued 255. To make the picture in black and white, the original color will be gray degree and each pixel will be compared with its threshold value. Normally, the black-and-white degree image has a 128 threshold value, so if the color value is less than 128, then the color is changed to 0 (black), and which is greater than or equal to 128 will be converted to 255 (white). Consider the example image below. Figure 1. The original image is predominantly dark When vi

Computer Graphics Project "Planet Orbit" Source Code with Glut OpenGL

Image
Hello there !!!  This time I will post a project in the past. It is about rotation and applied to make earth orbital with moon and sun. As reminder, for you who haven’t install glut you can download it in here and follow the instruction I uploaded too. You can download this orbital project in here too. The image above is the result of orbital project. Here is the source code for this project. #include <windows.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <GL/glut.h> #include <math.h> void myinit() { glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(-400.0, 400.0, -400.0, 400.0,-400.0,400.0); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glShadeModel(GL_FLAT); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); } float putaransatu, putarandua = 0; typedef struct{ float x,y; } point2D_t; void drawDot(int x,int y){ glBegin(GL_POINTS); glVertex2i(x,y); glEnd(); } /*void bintang(void) { static int tick=0; static poi

Computer Graphics Project "MINION" Source Code with Glut OpenGL

Image
Hello !!! This time I post about computer graphics again. And yes, I will share a project which mainly used rotation and a little bit morphing. You can download this project here ( Download here to download glut and follow the instruction ) .The character used in this project is well known. Well here’s the depiction of this project. Minion !!! The eyes will rotate. And it’s smile will move up and down which give you a creepy smile hahaha.  So here’s the source code for this project : #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <GL/glut.h> #ifndef M_PI #define M_PI 3.141592653589793 #endif typedef struct { float x; float y; } point2D_t; typedef struct { float r; float g; float b; } color_t; ////////////// OpenGL drawShape Functions ver 1 ///////////////// void setColor(float red,float green,float blue) { glColor3f(red, green, blue); } void setColor(color_t col) { glColor3f(col.r, col.g, col.b); } void drawDot(float x,float y) { glB
