Let's say you want to save paper when printing a document. To do so, you can print on both sides of paper sheets or print multiple pages on each side of the sheets, like done in handouts. Most printers and printer dialogues don't offer an easy way to do these two simple tasks, that's where dualPrint comes in. Tell dualPrint basic information about the document's pages and it will generate the outputs to copy into the printer dialogues. dualPrint eliminates the need to manually change between odd and even pages, which can be tricky to find among different programs and printing dialogues. Finally, it guides you in the process of inverting pages so you won't have to waste paper on trial and error.

The art project "Leave a Trace" (LAT) records an displays people movement in real time. It is installed as a permanent exhibition within the Charité in Berlin, Germany. Please find more Details about LAT here: https://leave-a-trace.charite.de/action This sourceforge project provides python tools to read the raw XML data produced by LAT. The data reading module works with python2 and python3. LAT XML Data can be downloaded here: https://leave-a-trace.charite.de/action/xml_dateien_der_traces/ ## Visualization tool: This project also contains a GUI-based visualization tool, which allows creation of custom vector data (SVG) from the given LAT data. This SVG data could, for example, be used for printing. If you want to use the visualization tool, as well, you'll need python2, along with the modules "numpy", "scipy" and "PyQt4". How to use: 1. Start the script 2. click the load button and select a compressed LAT-XML-file 3. click on "render SVG" (save somewhere)
