    JAX

    JAX

    Composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs

    With its updated version of Autograd, JAX can automatically differentiate native Python and NumPy functions. It can differentiate through loops, branches, recursion, and closures, and it can take derivatives of derivatives of derivatives. It supports reverse-mode differentiation (a.k.a. backpropagation) via grad as well as forward-mode differentiation, and the two can be composed arbitrarily to any order. What’s new is that JAX uses XLA to compile and run your NumPy programs on GPUs and TPUs. Compilation happens under the hood by default, with library calls getting just-in-time compiled and executed. But JAX also lets you just-in-time compile your own Python functions into XLA-optimized kernels using a one-function API, jit. Compilation and automatic differentiation can be composed arbitrarily, so you can express sophisticated algorithms and get maximal performance without leaving Python.

Open Source Vector Graphics Software Guide

Open source vector graphics software is a type ofprogram used to create two-dimensional drawings and illustrations. Vector graphics are composed of points, lines, shapes, and curves that can be manipulated independently by the user to create intricate artwork. Vector files are resolution independent which means they remain sharp no matter how large or small you make them; this makes the format ideal for logos and other designs intended for multiple uses.

Open source vector graphics software is freely available online and typically has fewer restrictions than proprietary counterparts. These programs offer a wide range of capabilities including support for layering, advanced effects (like drop shadows) adjusting size/shape with grids/guides/snap-to objects as well as allowing projects to be exported in multiple formats such as SVG or PDF. They also come with an active online community dedicated to helping users get the most out of their software.

Some popular open source vector graphics programs include Inkscape, GIMP, Karbon14 Krita, XaraXtreme LXFreeCAD and LibreOffice Draw--each offering unique features from simple line drawing tools to complex brushes set up for more advanced compositions. Not only are these applications very cost effective when compared against commercial image editing suites but they provide a great platform for both beginners and experienced users alike who wish to explore vector graphics in greater detail.

Open Source Vector Graphics Software Features

  • Vector Graphics: Vector graphics are computer graphics that use geometric shapes, such as lines, circles, and polygons to represent images. Open source vector graphics software provides tools for creating vector-based artwork from scratch or by importing a variety of image formats like JPEG, PNG, SVG etc. These programs also offer powerful editing features such as shape manipulation and path tracing.
  • Texturing: Many open source vector graphic programs provide layers of texturing capabilities, allowing users to apply various textures to their artwork. This can include subtle gradients or patterns, as well as more complex designs like halftones and noise effects.
