About our software:

Our primary focus revolves around business slides, aiming to automate layout tasks traditionally handled by PowerPoint users. From understanding optimal layouts to fast algorithmic outputs, user-friendly interfaces, and seamless compatibility with third-party software, our challenges are diverse and exciting.

Language:

• Our codebase is entirely in C++, including our customer portal.
• We integrate Assembler for necessary glue code and use Python for build scripts.
• We stay up-to-date with the latest C++ standard features through close tracking of Visual C++ and Xcode compilers.
• We actively contribute to the standardization process of ISO/IEC C++ through our involvement with the German Institute for Standardization (DIN).
• We sponsor the Standard C++ Foundation, promoting modern Standard C++ across compilers and platforms.

Library:

• Boost is integral to our code, with Boost.Spirit for parsing.
• Our proprietary range library, akin to Boost.Range or range-v3, unifies internal and external iteration.
• We've developed a cross-platform library supporting Mac and Windows with a single code base.
• Our in-house reference-counting and persistence libraries save and restore entire object trees.
• An extensive bug reporting infrastructure ensures that assertions and error checks remain in release code, automatically reporting bugs to our server for analysis and resolution.

Algorithms:

• Founded on the idea of an algorithm for automatic slide layout, we continue our journey toward that ambitious vision.
• Recent developments include algorithms for automatic point cloud labeling and column chart labeling.
• Collaboration with John Forrest, author of the linear solver CLP, to enhance simplex code for our specific problems.
• Creation of generic data structures not found in C++ or Boost, such as partitions.
• Our software not only generates charts but also reads them back from paper using chart recognition tools relying on OpenCV and the Leptonica Image Processing Library.
