  • What is the point of heightmaps?

    - by Jake Petroules
    I've been pondering this question awhile now... many 3d engines support advanced terrain rendering using quadtrees, LOD... all the features you expect. But every engine I've seen loads height data from heightmaps... grayscale bitmaps. I just can't understand how this is useful - each point in a heightmap can have one of 256 values. But what if you wanted to model Mt. Everest? with detail of 1 meter, or even greater? That's far outside the range of 256. Of course I understand that you can implement your own terrain format to achieve this, but I just can't see why heightmaps are so widely used despite their great limitations.

  • Python continue from the point where exception was thrown

    - by James Lin
    Hi is there a way to continue from the point where exception was thrown? eg I have the following psudo code unique code 1 unique code 2 unique code 3 if I want to ignore the exceptions of any of the unique code statements I will have to do it like this: try: #unique code 1 except: pass try: #unique code 2 except: pass try: #unique code 3 except: pass but this isn't elegant to me, and for the life of me I can't remember how I resolved this kind of problem last time... what I want to have is something like try: unique code 1 unique code 2 unique code 3 except: continue from last exception raised

  • C# Windows CE 5.0 error: Can't find entry point ExitWindowsEx in PInvoke DLL coredll

    - by JackN
    I need to programatically shutdown a Windows CE 5.0 tablet using Microsoft.NET SDK CompactFramework v2.0. I tried using the solution here but got the error message Can't find entry point ExitWindowsEx in PInvoke DLL coredll Is there a way to add ExitWindowsEx to my build? Do I need a different coredll? [Flags] public enum ExitFlags { Reboot = 0x02, PowerOff = 0x08 } [DllImport("coredll")] public static extern int ExitWindowsEx(ExitFlags flags, int reserved); private static void buttonShutdown_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ExitWindowsEx(ExitFlags.PowerOff, 0); } private static void buttonRestart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ExitWindowsEx(ExitFlags.Reboot, 0); }

  • rails migration. modify starting point for auto_increment

    - by railsnew
    I have a table already created. I am looking for a rails migration where I can modify the starting point of the auto_increment number for id column of my table. Let's say I want it to start from 1000. I googled a bit and came across this: it says: :options "string" pass raw options to your underlying database, e.g. auto_increment = 10000. Note that passing options will cause you to lose the default ENGINE=InnoDB statement Can this be used for something I want? and how will the migration look since i am changing the column and not creating new one...

  • Decimal point removed from decimals in a Serialized XML

    - by MiguelM
    I'm using XmlSerializer with classes created from a xsd using xsd.exe. It has worked fine for months. Now I'm receiving reports that in some cases the created xml file has all decimals serialized without a decimal point, e.g. 123.45 is serialized as 12345. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, but I'm suspecting it may be related to localization. This is my first C# project, so I may be overlooking something basic. Could localization cause this problem? How can I make the serialization process locale independent? Any idea of something else that could cause this problem?

  • Is it better to use GL_FIXED or GL_FLOAT on Android.

    - by Timmmm
    I would have assumed that GL_FIXED was faster, but the iPhone docs actually say to use GL_FLOAT because GL_FIXED has to be converted to GL_FLOAT. Is it the same on Android? I suppose it varies by phone, but what about recent popular ones (Nexus One, Droid/Milestone, etc.)? Bonus points: This appears to be completely undocumented (e.g. search google for GL_FIXED!) but where is the 'point' in GL_FIXED? I.e. how much is (GL_FIXED)1 worth?

  • Can a pointer ever point to itself?

    - by eSKay
    This question was mentioned here. My doubt is: If a pointer variable has the same address as its value, is it really pointing to itself? For example - in the following piece of code, is a a pointer to itself? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ int* a; int b = (int)&a; a = b; printf("address of a = %d\n", &a); printf(" value of a = %d\n", a); } If a is not a pointer to itself, then the same question poses again: Can a pointer point to itself? Also, how is a self pointing pointer useful?

  • whats the point of using template?

    - by netrox
    I am under the impression that if I set it as a template in Dreamweaver, any changes made should be saved to a new filename. I've copied the "template" that I made and sometimes I forget to save it as a different file name and it would overwrite previous web content. I just don't get the point of "save as template" if it works just like a document... it doesn't force me to save as a different filename. Common sense in me thinks that the software should evaluate like this, "if this is a template, always save as a different filename when it's modified so nothing is changed to the template, but rather a new file is created with the new content following that template." Am I missing something? Am I always doomed to using Save As...?

  • Implementing zoom on a fixed point, javascript/canvas

    - by csiz
    I want to implement zooming on the mouse pointer with the mouse wheel. That is scaling the image while the point under the mouse pointer stays fixed. Here is my code, which doesn't work very well var scala = 1 + event.wheelDelta / 1000; canvas.context.translate(-canvas.mouse.x * ( scala - 1 ) / canvas.scale,-canvas.mouse.y * ( scala - 1 ) / canvas.scale); canvas.context.scale(scala,scala); canvas.scale *= scala; //canvas.scale is my variable that is initially set to 1. //canvas.mouse is my variable that represents the mouse position relative to the canvas

  • Find most right and left point of a horizontal circle in 3d Vector environment

    - by Olivier de Jonge
    I'm drawing a 3D pie chart that is rendered with in 3D vectors, projected to 2D vectors and then drawn on a Graphics object. I want to calculate the most left and right point of the circle The method to create a vector, draw and project to a 2d vector are below. Anyone knows the answer? public class Vector3d { public var x:Number; public var y:Number; public var z:Number; //the angle that the 3D is viewed in tele or wide angle. public static var viewDist:Number = 700; function Vector3d(x:Number, y:Number, z:Number){ this.x = x; this.y = y; this.z = z; } public function project2DNew():Vector { var p:Number = getPerspective(); return new Vector(p * x, p * y); } public function getPerspective():Number{ return viewDist / (this.z + viewDist); } }

  • C: Reading file with a starting point

    - by Shinka
    A simple question but I can't find the answer in my book. I want to read a binary file to seed a random number generator, but I don't want to seed my generator with the same seed each time I call the function, so I will need to keep a variable for my position in the file (not a problem) and I would need to know how to read a file starting a specific point in the file (no idea how). The code: void rng_init(RNG* rng) { // ... FILE *input = fopen("random.bin", "rb"); unsigned int seed[32]; fread(seed, sizeof(unsigned int), 32, input); // seed 'rng'... fclose(input); }

  • check compiler with break point

    When I tried to focus on compiler in code i made break point on code if (!IsPostBack) { using (SqlConnection Con = Connection.GetConnection()) { if (Request.QueryString["Category_Id"] != null && DDlProductFamily.SelectedIndex < 0) { SqlCommand Com = new SqlCommand("SelectAllCtageories_Front", Con); Com.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; Com.Parameters.Add(Parameter.NewInt("@Category_Id", Request.QueryString["Category_Id"])); SqlDataAdapter DA = new SqlDataAdapter(Com); DA.Fill(dt); DataList1.DataSource = dt; DataList1.DataBind(); } but I cannot check condition although I had the value of query string List item

  • How to configure a specific service operation to be accessible through a different End Point

    - by pradeeptp
    I have single service contract that has 2 service operations. Let me call these operations as X1 and X2. How do I configure X1 to be accessible through HTTP and X2 to be accessible through TCP/IP. If I configure the service contract to be accessibel to TCP/IP end point then both X1 and X2 will be accessible through TCP/IP. Same is the case if I configure the same service contract with HTTP protocol. I could have two different service contracts for achieving what I want, but I want to know if I could achieve the same through a single service contract.

  • Point IIS at debug folder

    - by mtmurdock
    I am working on an asp.net mvc web service and an Android app that need to be able to communicate with one another. However, when running a web service/web site in Visual Studio it can only be accessed by that machine. So what I want to do is point IIS at my project's bin/debug folder, thus exposing my dev environment to my local network. I know this is possible because my work machine is set up this way, I just don't know how it is done. How do I configure IIS to load a web app from the debug directory of my Visual Studio project?

  • Const unsigned char* to char*

    - by BSchlinker
    So, I have two types at the moment: const unsigned char* unencrypted_data_char; string unencrypted_data; I'm attempting to perform a simple conversion of data from one to the other (string - const unsigned char*) As a result, I have the following: strcpy((unencrypted_data_char),(unencrypted_data.c_str())); However, I'm receiving the error: error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const unsigned char *' to 'char *' Any advise? I thought using reinterpret_cast would help, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

  • Java: Moving Away from XML Encode

    - by bguiz
    Hi, We have this software which loads various bits of data from files that are written using XMLEncode (serialization using XML). We want to migrate from that to our own proprietary file format (can be XML based). Is there a automated way to achieve this initial conversion, without having to perform a deserialization, and then write those objects out in the new format? XMLEncode format --> New proprietary file format Thanks!

  • Convert JSON query parameters to objects with JAX-RS

    - by deamon
    I have a JAX-RS resource, which gets its paramaters as a JSON string like this: http://some.test/aresource?query={"paramA":"value1", "paramB":"value2"} The reason to use JSON here, is that the query object can be quite complex in real use cases. I'd like to convert the JSON string to a Java object, dto in the example: @GET @Produces("text/plain") public String getIt(@QueryParam("query") DataTransferObject dto ) { ... } Does JAX-RS support such a conversion from JSON passed as a query param to Java objects?

  • How to implement " char * ftoa(float num) " without sprintf() library function in C, C++ and JAVA

    - by SIVA
    Today I appeared for an interview, and the question was writing my own "char * ftoa(float num) " in C, C++ and Java. Yes, I know float numbers follow IEEE standard while allocating their memory, but I don't know float to char conversion by using Mantissa and Exponent in C. I don't have any idea to solve the above problem in C++ and JAVA. I/P to the ftoa(): 1.23 O/P from the ftoa(): 1.23 (char format). Thanks in advance ...
