AlcoVol is a graphical, interactive, fluid volumes
conversion and display utilility. The User Interface
is in the form of an attractive 'panel-mounted' flask -
with scrolling units lists and controls adjacent to
it. AlcoVol's database includes all the major fluid
volumes in use throughout the world today (including
kitchen measures such as cups, teaspoons, tablespoons,
dash etc), key historical and superseded units, and,
the most extensive list of alcohol volume units
available. This makes AlcoVol of value not only to
producers and distributors of beverages, but
travelling consumers, liquor journalists, wine
connoisserus, beer buffs and 'libation fans' will also
find it very handy. Other features include the ability
to order units lists alphabetically, according to
metric units first, UK and US units first, or
Australian units first. You can also instantly
swap 'from' and 'to' units. Predictive search on units
lists - instead of 'scrolling and clicking' on units,
you can type out units in the textboxes above the
lists and as you do so, AlcoVol's lists automatically
scroll to the 'best matching' units in the database -
based on each letter you type.
Instantaneous conversions - as you click on a unit,
type out a unit or type out a value, the conversion
result immediately gets displayed numerically in a
textbox and also graphically on AlcoVol's 'flask' -
the flask's scales and range automatically adjust to
the values to be displayed. Graphical interactivity -
you can physically drag the fluid level in the 'flask'
up or down and the corresponding 'from' and 'to'
values scroll with the movement. The color and
appearance of the fluid in the 'flask' can be
adjusted. Conversion reports - You can choose which
conversions to save, and when you're done,
pressing 'Make File' results in a CSV textfile of your
chosen conversions being produced (which you can
easily import into say, a spreadsheet).
