Draw Shapes Vector Graphics Library achievesoptimized performance and cleanly arranged pixel stair-step patterns (pixel-optimization).Features: Simplicity of usage with a set of method to draw shapes Performance: Draw Shapes JavaScript VectorGraphics Library tries to minimize theamount of such overhead and optimize performance using also fast algorithms (based onBresenham algorithms) Alternative to SVG or tag Cross-browser functionality Complete documentation and support Open-source license Limited functionalities, however it’s possible to combine its usage with the JavaScriptDHTML API Drag & Drophttp://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm7.4.

Amfphp has a built-inservice browser which lets you test your services before you start writing the front end, andallows you to generate code for various clients. Nothing required - PHP4/PHP5 compatible, no extensions needed Low footprint, lightweight, fast Convention over configuration (service and class mapping) Can be embedded into a framework (see CakeAmfphp, Seagull) Services are "non-specific" PHP classes that are portable to anything without code change Productivity tools included (service browser, code gen, profiling) XML clients with XML-RPC, JSON Not a framework by itself (use your own)88
