Dear all,
some time ago I used Axman for my diploma thesis. Now I would like to use Space syntax software for some other projects (mainly academical, but some commercial) and, later on, also develop a space syntax analyse tool myself to add certain new features.
I know that there is a wide range of axial analysis programs available (Depthmap, Axman, Greyscale axman, Axwoman, Ajax ...)
What programs do you use in your daily work, and why do you prefer them?
Are there any "commercial" licenses of Axman or Depthmap, and how much do they cost?
Are there any source codes available?
Is anyone of you intested in starting an Space Syntax open-source project? Or, at least, in some external participation to his/her software?
During the symposion in Delft someone said the Space Syntax Software is not free because it is a kind of Quality assurance if only skilled scientists use it. What do you think of this? Is this still the case with so many free axial analysis tools?
Thanks for your answers and a lively discussion!
Joachim
