Calculating and displaying the Length of the side of a triangle

Hi everyone. I am currently working on Dragging and Stretching a triangle on screen. Ive got it working to a certain extent but the only problem is that whenever I go to the point from which i have to drag my triangle i.e. the Left hand Corner of the BAse at exactly 300,300 it redraws a new triangle below the existing one and then when i stretch it from the top and the right it leaves a trail of triangles everytime. But when i resize my window it clears the trail only to start agian when I drag or stretch it...
All my code for wahtever I have done is displayed below. I would appreciate all the help that any one can offer.
Secondly , as I stretch my triangle I would like to calculate My Length of the hypotenuse and the other 2 sides as they change and display it in System.out.println for now...
PLEASE HELP
the code is

Hey sorry mate.. ive got a nother problem.
I need to add loads of theorems to this tool. so i need a JMenu Bar called File with all the normal things. then another Menu called Theorems where i can have a list of JMenuItems with the theorem names --- Like when they click on Pythagoras Theorem it opens up all the triangle and the traingle data that u helped me with.
The thing is im using netbeans and in netbeans i can do it coz its there and all you got to do is put the components together.
Please Help
Thanks...

Calculating the length of the longest side of a polygon

If you want to calculate the length of the longest side of a polygon -- for example a rectangle -- how can that be done using the standard geometrical functions of spatial in an oracle 10g2 database?
SDO_LENGHT delivers the outline of the polygon. If have looked at the LRS functions, but could not come up with a combination that delivers me what I am looking for. Any suggestion is appreciated.

What do you see as the longest side?
Is that the longest stretch between 2 consecutive vertices?
If this is the case, this sql could be of help, which could need maybe some optimisation and extension (calculates straigth distance between 2 consecutive vertices).
select id, p_side_nr, p_side, p_side_length
from
select id, p_side_nr, p_side, sdo_geom.sdo_length(p_side, 0.005) p_side_length, max(sdo_geom.sdo_length(p_side, 0.005)) over (partition by id) max_p_side_length
from
select id, p_side_nr,
       sdo_geometry(2002, NULL, NULL,
             SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,2,1),
             SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(startx, starty, endx, endy)
            ) p_side
from
     select
           startp.id, startp.x startx, startp.y starty, startp.v_id p_side_nr, endp.x endx, endp.y endy, endp.v_id
     from
          select s.id, t.id v_id, t.x, t.y
          from your_table_name s, table(sdo_util.getvertices(geometry)) t
          ) startp
          select s.id, t.id v_id, t.x, t.y
          from your_table_name s, table(sdo_util.getvertices(geometry)) t
          ) endp
     where startp.id = endp.id
     and startp.v_id = endp.v_id - 1
) where p_side_length = max_p_side_lengthif you do not need the geometry of that longest side, you could follow Ivan's suggestion as a shortcut by using Pythagoras.

Display instantly the length of the text entered in the rich text editor

Hi everybody,
I'm developing an apex application with apex 4.1.1 and Oracle 11.2.
I have a page in which I have a form that allows to create a new message on the database.
A message has a title, description, text and date.
For the text I use the item "rich editor text". The problem is that item doesn't show the length of characters entered (character counter for the textarea). In the database the corresponding column is varchar2(2000). What I do is a validation after submit that checks if the limit 2000 was exceeded or not.
But what I want to do more is to display instantly the length of the text entered in the editor. I have tried to do that through a dynamic action. But the event "onChange" for the item "rich text editor" didn't work.
Has anyone any idea about that issue?
Thanks for helping.
Kind regards,
Edited by: Khadija Khalfallah on Apr 25, 2013 4:06 AM

sorry about that, I missed that tidbit in your OP... well I think there is a good reason why there isn't a count character option -- due to the hidden "html" characters responsible for the "richness" (bold/color, etc) applied to the text would be difficult to count true characters.. if I was bent on doing this, I'd continue using the item you are using, but have a HIDDEN text area that is updated via javascript onkeyup for each keystroke (again, keeping in mind you'd have to filter certain keys) and then that intelligence could be used. I would probably dig through the javascript responsible for the rich text editor (is it still fckeditor??) -- there might already be code in there that isn't clearly visible to you that does this already.. alas, I see now the validity of your challenge.

The length of the recording and exporting truncated

Hi there.
It's my first venture into GarageBand. I have just a few questions.
First, how can I tell the length of my recording without having to listen to the entire session? Dragging the indicator bar in the window to move it along takes a very long time, is there a quicker way to do this?
Second, I have been exporting my files to iTunes to burn CD's. I am seeing that the file get's shortened in the process. It's not just a small clip, but rather edits out over 15 minutes on one file. Any thoughts? I called Apple and they knew nothing.

To determine the length:
- Switch the meter that shows bars and beats to minutes and seconds (by clicking on the clock icon).
- Scroll to the end of the song.
- Click into the timeline's ruler, and the cursor will be taken there, the meter showing the minutes and seconds.
As for the export: Do you see the little purple triangle in the timeline, pointing to the left? That's your End of Song marker. Does it sit at the right position? If not, move it there and try exporting again. And since this little ******* is playing tricks sometimes, a more exact way of exporting is using the circle function and setting the circle section exactly from the beginning to the end of what you want to export.
Oh, and by the way: How long is your recording? If it exceeds 999 bars, then GB will only export until bar 999, although your whole recording is still there.
Come back and tell us what you found out!

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

Why does it take iMovie longer to import video than the length of the video? For example- it took 2 mins and 15 secs to import 2 mins and 4 secs of video...

It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

The length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser

Hi,
The password is 8 characters in the BW system.
When users changing their newly assigned passwords. When logging into the BEx Analyser, and prompted to change the password, a password entry box is displayed, with an entry field longer then 8 characters. Some users are therefore entering passwords longer then 8 characters. This is fine when they first login, but when they try come back to the system, their logon fails.
Can something be done to restrict the length of the password entry field in the BEx Analyser?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan

How to increase the length of the char which has master data!

Hi,
I am uploading hierarchy from flat file!
i am using basic char texts as hierarchy texts and my basic char has length 15 )
Because the first 15 characters of the hierarchy short text are same, and it s total length being 15, while uploading it is giving me error saying same record values cannot be used more than once!
( i am using nodename as hierarchy texts and my basic char has length 15 )
when i try to increase the length of the char by deleting entries in it, the delete option is grayed out!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Check it out that object where-used list, whether that object is used in any other cubes or ODS or any target......
If it is used then delete all the data from all the targets and also object data itself.
Then it is possible to increase the length.
One more thing is if you want to change in Production system directly ,may be you have the display authorization only.
You have to change it in to development system and trasport it to production system.

Changing animation frame rate when rendering in photoshop does not change the length of the video?

I made a walk cycle animation in Photoshop CS6 and want to render it into a quicktime format. I'd like it to be 12 fps, but when I rendered it at 12 fps the video seemed to be missing frames, and the video was 3 seconds long. I have 98 frames to my animation; doing the math, at 12 fps it should be 8 seconds long. Not 3.
I was confused and for curiosity's sake I rendered the video at 6 fps, trying to really slow it down. The video ended up being STILL 3 seconds long and only maybe 20 frames. I was missing literally 70 frames. I'm so upset with this rendering thing, I could chuck my computer at the wall.
Does anybody know of a solution to this?
edit: If it means anything, I've tried rendering it straight from the frame view and the timeline view. Each time I render it I have the timeline frame rate match the rendering frame rate as well.

Changing animation frame rate when rendering in photoshop does not change the length of the video?
Photoshop CS6 and CC support two types of animation Frame animations and a Video Timeline
Changing the frame rate should not change the length of a video timeline. It should just change the number of frames that are rendered. To change the length of a video you need to change the length of the video timeline. If you increase the length of the timeline and there is audio I'm quite sure there will be a problem with it, The Video part will most likely be better then the sound. The required number of extra frames can be generated however the video may look like slow motion. If you decrease the length the motion will speed up. The length of a video is normally done be editing video clips which are trimmed and stitched together to get the desired duration. Not normally done by altering the duration of a clip.
The duration a of Frame animation is the sum of the times each frame is displayed. In a frame animation the length of time a frame is displayed can be varied it not a normal motion picture video. To have a smooth frame animation you need a sufficient number of frames that are different from each other to show smooth motion. You can use Photoshop Frame animation tween feature to have Photoshop manufacture frames to help with a smoothing the animation. Once you have a frame animation the length with the motion you want you can have Photoshop convert it to a video timeline and render a normal motion picture video. It will not have audio but you can add audio to it.

What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?

Actually have three questions.
1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
Thanks.
