Help formatting data into 3d surface

Hi Folks,
I'm struggling trying to display some data in a 3d plot. I'v studdied the example here but am getting no where! http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=433150&query.id=1242328#M433150
Basically the data I'm interested in viewing is a 2d array. Each row in the record represents a size bin (52 total rows). Each of these rows is divided into discrete scatter angle bins (16 total columns). SO, each element represent a relative light intensity, at a discrete angle, at a particlar size.
I don't understand how a 2d dataset gets correlated into X,Y,and Z matrix formats.
Any pointers?
Regards,
Jamie

Thanks for the reply. I did have a look at that example, but unfortunately it isn't of much help. I'll continue to mess with it, but it easily obscures (I think) the principals of data formatting requirements for 3d plot by an overwhelming amount of data points. ie I have no idea what point is what on that plot, where it should be....etc
I honestly don't know what expect with my dataset - I basically just want to visualize several 1d arrays over 'time' ('time' being the bin sizes). I thought there would some sort of easier way to go about this, but the 3dplot is all I could find.
Cheers,

100 data points in a 3d graph is small.
I suggest you change one of the values and re-run it to see which point you changed. Repeat with other points until you figure it out.
If 100 points is too many, empty the array and put your own data in to start.
Still trying to help and not giving up,

OWB11gR2 - simple and easy way to load XML formatted data into db tables?

Hi,
we're currently trying to load table data stored in XML files into our datawarehouse using OWB 11gR2.
However, we're finding this is not quite as trivial as loading flat files...
Most postings on this forum points to the blog-entry title "Leveraging XDB" found here (http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/09/leveraging_xdb.html).
This blog also references the zip-file owb_xml_etl_utils.zip, which seems to have disappeared from it's original location and can now be found on sourceforge.
Anyway, the solution described is for OWB 10g, and when trying to import experts from the zip-file etc. we end up not being able to run the "Create ETL from XSD" expert, as the 11gR2 client is different from the 10g and does not have the Experts menu et.al.
Also, this solution was published over 3 years ago, and it seems rather strange that importing XML-formatted data should still be so cumbersome in the newer warehouse builder releases.
The OWB 11gR2 documentation is very sparse (or rather - quite empty) on how to load XML data, all it has is a few lines on "XML Transformations", giving no clue as to how one goes about loading data.
Is this really the state of things? Or are we missing some vital information here?
We'd have thought that with 11g-releases, loading XML-data would be rather simple, quick and painless?
Is there somewhere besides the blog mentioned above where we can find simple and to the point guidelines for OWB 11gR2 on how to load XML-formatted data into Oracle tables?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Yes it is possible to use SQL*Loader to parse and load XML, but that is not what it was designed for and so is not recommended. You also don't need to register a schema, just to load/store/parse XML in the DB either.
So where does that leave you?
Some options
{thread:id=410714} (see page 2)
{thread:id=1090681}
{thread:id=1070213}
Those talk some about storage options and reading in XML from disk and parsing XML. They should also give you options to consider. Without knowing more about your requirements for the effort, it is difficult to give specific advice. Maybe your 7-8 tables don't exist and so using Object Relational Storage for the XML would be the best solution as you can query/update tables that Oracle creates based off the schema associated to the XML. Maybe an External Table definition works better for reading the XML into the system because this process will happen just once. Maybe using WebDAV makes more sense for loading XML to be parsed (I don't have much experience with this, just know it is possible from what I've read on the forums). Also, your version makes a difference as you have different options available depending upon the version of Oracle.
Hope all that helps as a starter.

How to use many format data into a template?

How to design a template but it can interface from many format data?

This is the one from 2010 but should still work.
http://www.bfcnetworks.com/blogs/alexpearce/pull-sharepoint-2010-document-properties-into-word-quick-parts/
You basically create a new document in the library (must have the columns you want into the word document), then you use the Quick
Parts to insert the data where needed. Then you save this document as your template. Then anytime someone creates a document in the library when you open the document it will read from the columns of the item.
I used a workflow and had the users actually update a SharePoint list, then that in turn creates a new document in the document library and populate the columns from the list form. Then You can send that document link to folks to download / print or whatever.
Is that what you are talking about?

Streaming data to disk, need help reading data into Power Spectrum/Octave vi

I'm streaming data to disk in one loop, however once this finishes I'd like to read the data into power spectrum vi/Octave analysis vi in another loop. The data from the read vi is a string and power spectrum vi needs 1d waveform. Does anyone have experience with this process?

From your general description, I gather you are streaming to a text based file (comma or tab separated spreadsheet format) and would like to analyse this data with a power spectrum or octave analysis when you finish. Since you are streaming, I assume you have a lot of data. Do you have more than one channel?
In any case, you have two simple options (and lots of complex ones). You can either read the data back from disk and convert it to a 1D array (try the Read From Spreadsheet File.vi - will get a 2D array, take the first column or the column of your choice if you have more than one channel) or you can use the Spreadsheet String to Array primitive to create an array from your text data before you save it to disk.
If your data rate is slow enough, you can analyze as you acquire and store.
Taking your data as text is very inefficient. What you really want to do is read the data as binary, use that for your analysis, and use something like the Write to Spreadsheet File.vi to save text data to disk.

PHP need help formating date, please.

I am working on my first database page using repeating fields
and a
connection to MySQL, and actually have it working! Yay!
Now I have a formatting problem, and would appreciate a bit
of help.
The first column of the repeating field is a date field,
which is stored
as a date type in mysql, and shows up in my table as
2008-03-12 (which
is how it was entered into the table). I would like to change
the
display to March 12, 2008. I have tried using the date
function, but
without success. The text that php is putting in the cell is
"2008-03-12", which I am guessing is not a valid timestamp. I
am also
guessing that this is why I get a date in 1969 when I try
this...
The page is here:
http://www.verodelmar.com/agendas.php
and the source is here:
http://www.verodelmar.com/agendas.txt
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to look!

The former I think I understand.
The latter I have printed out and will look at some more.
Actually in
theory I understand, but how to do that in my control panel
is what I

Help formatting date on the PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.xsl page

I am using the standard PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.xsl and PO_STANDARD_PO.xsd and I want to format the Promised By and Need By dates to be dd-mmm-yy instead of dd-mmm-yyyy and then a time stamp. How can I accomplish this?

Hi,
some feeling tells me that you are requesting the wrong forum. I found How to modify PO_STANDARD_PO data definition? and think that this is a better trail to follow up with. Correct me if i am wrong

Need help for FM that converts RAW format data to xls format

Hi all,
I am able to get the data from the given spool number to be converted into 'RAW' format. I need to convert this data into Excel format nad want to send the mail as attachment.
I want to know is there a Function Module that converts this RAW format data into the Excel format?
regards,
Brijesh Patel

Hi,
instead of that you can do this....
once spool is generated you have spool number , using the spool number you can generate the excel file using the FM <b>RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB</b>, pass the spool number, and filename as some.xls and then it will download it to xls file,

Help with Importing Excel Data into Formatted Tables

This is my first post, here, so please be gentle!
I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I am creating a 70-pg manufacturer's price book. A very large portion of each page is going to be size and price information imported from a large Excel spreadsheet.
I have created the table format that I'd like to use for each page, but the trouble comes when I import the Excel data into that table. For some reason, when I import, it all dumps into one cell. Would it be best to import as an unformatted table, and then format the table each time, or is there a way to simply import the data into my pre-formatted table? I've seen how the former is done, but the latter seems much easier (...although that could be my inexperience talking).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Laura (V1500)

Thank you both so much for your time! This is exactly what I needed.

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

Nilesh,
. . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:

How to break range of dates into different months in mm/yyyy format

See the following eg:

Hi Shiva,
In your Report Program, you can define the field of type sy-datum. And then fill the fields with the date. And then you can extract the rest of it manually by this small and simple lines of code. Once you have the date extracting logic then you can output the date in any manner according to your wish.
data : lv_date TYPE sy-datum.
data : lv_month TYPE c LENGTH 2.
data : lv_year TYPE c LENGTH 4.
data : lv_month_year TYPE c LENGTH 6.
lv_date = sy-datum.
lv_month = lv_date+4(2).
lv_year = lv_date+0(4).
CONCATENATE lv_month lv_year INTO lv_month_year.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.
