ABCDrawHTML
By WebSupergoo Software
ABCDrawHTML is a simple but powerful HTML rendering library. It allows you to create previews or thumbnails of web pages in a number of different formats from PNG to JPEG to TIFF to EMF. Because it uses a resolution independent drawing format you can enlarge or shrink your images as required with no loss of quality. Because it doesn''t use print drivers it renders web pages quickly and accurately. Because it''s Both Threaded you can use it flexibly from within ASP, VB, .NET and under COM+ or MTS. It uses advanced techniques to allow efficient asynchronous multithreaded operations. It''s easy to use. Suppose you want to produce a thumbnail image of the FBI web site. This is the code you need. Set page = Server.CreateObject("ABCDrawHTML.Page") page.URL = "http://www.fbi.com/" path = Server.MapPath("fbi.jpg") page.Save path, 200, 150 However you don''t need to save your images to disk, you can stream them direct to the client. You can use it flexibly under .NET. Most of the COM interop limitations that cause performance problems under .NET are specific to Apartment Threaded objects. Because ABCDrawHTML is fully Both Threaded it can be used flexibly in any environment from .NET to ASP to Visual Basic.

Gravitational Lensing
By Kwakkelflap
Einstein''s General Theory of Relativity demonstrates that a large mass can deform spacetime and bend the path of light. So, a very massive object, such as a cluster of galaxies can act as a gravitational lens. When light passes through the cluster from an object lying behind it, the light is bent and focused to produce an image or images of the source. The image may be magnified, distorted, or multiplied by the lens, depending upon the position of the source with respect to the lensing mass. The characteristics of the gravitationally lensed image depend upon the alignment of the observer, the lens and the background object. If the alignment is perfect, the resulting image is an Einstein Ring. With this program, one can draw images to see the effect of gravitational lensing. You can easily test the effects of several parameters by changing them and redrawing the image.
