How can I compare the lengths of two objects in a picture?

I imagine there should be some sort of floating ruler hovering over each object and some cutting work to do to overlay one object on top of another while one object being transparent so that the length discrepancy is transparent.

Try using the Measure tool. It's in the same slot as the Eyedropper - keep pressing Shift+I until you see a Ruler icon. You can only have one ruler at a time, but if you open the Measurement Log window (from the Window menu), you can record the current one, draw another ruler, record that, etc.

How can i compare the contents of two folders ?

how can i compare the contents of two folders and find out which files are in one but not in the other?? Knowing how to do this would be the best thing ever, especially when dealing with a large number of files. Often, for instance, I'm dealing with a large number of images, processing them, and saving the retouched ones to a new folder, and need to check that they are all there. If there are say three files missing in the second folder (out of say a hundred in total) being able to automate the process of elimination would be very useful. Please help!!!
B

I really wish I knew the answer to this. I work between two macs, a G5 and MacBook Pro when I'm on the go. Each time I move from one to the other I have to copy all my files to the computer I'm going to work on, so I end up with the same files being duplicated. It's not a problem if it's not much data but in my case the it can be to 30GB, mostly graphics files, photoshop, motion, final cut pro, etc.
There's has got to be a way automator can make a comparison between two folders to sort out what's changed and what's remained the same. It would be nice also if this feature could be done globally on the hard disk using spotlight's technology to stop files being duplicated in places you didn't even know about and taking up valuable disk space. I'm not sure how this could be done.
Any bright ideas Apple?

How can I adjust the length of a note? Please help.

How can I adjust the length (the sustain time) of a note after I have selected the note? Many thanks.

Just drag the right end back and forth (mouse over the end of the note - a ] appears) - by holding down ctrlshiftdragging you can change the subdivision into ticks. In the Midi event editor you can do it numerically - just change the numbers displayed in the length section.

How can i change the length of a narration ?

how can i change the length of a narration ?

Thanks for the reply.
Still not sure what version of Premiere Elements that you are using. But, the following should apply nonetheless
What you describe is what I have described in my blog post and for which I have discussed all aspects of the issue. There
is no workaround to force the program to give you more than you are getting now without other clips also on the track(s). The
blog post just about says it all.
You might have to weigh the pros and cons of
a. Recording your narrations as .wav files in a free audio editor such as Audacity
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
and then importing those into your Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the narration to the Narration Track.
b. Put any video clips on the Timeline when you are recording your Premiere Elements narrations with its Narration Tool. Then remove these video clips and replace them with the real thing when you are ready to put narration and clips into the project.
Please let me know if you are OK with the details.
Thank you.

How can i compare the character fields?

I have a requirement to compare the character fields .
I have to compare the 2 character fields of a table CDPOS
As follows .
If CDPOS-VALUE-OLD GT CDPOS-VALUE-NEW
      Populate    REDATED = YES.
ELSE
      Populate REDATED = NO.
My doubt here is how can we compare the character fields.?
   When I do Extended Program Check: I am getting error like this ?
Greater than/less than comparisons with character type operands may not be portable
Please give me idea .

How can I compare the actual and expected values in Unit testing when they are XML files?

I have created a unit test for a method in VS 2008. My expected value and actual value are XMLs. Therefore though the output is same as I expect it gives an error as I am doing string comparison now. How can I compare these 2 XMLs in expected output and
actual output format in Unit Testing?
mayooran99

In unit test, when you want to validate XML files, you feed them into the class / struct that you want to feed the XML into and compare the values there (You don't just feed it in XMLReader and feed it line by line, right? But if it really is, that's how
you should also test it in unit tests).
In short, how you'd use the XML in your code, that's how you should test it in unit test.

How can i select the length of a trace in Ultiboard?

Hello
i got a problem with the length of some traces.
Some special traces need to get the same length.
I used the group edit item to create a grout with the needed nets.
How can i creat the traces now. When i use the item Follow-me it doesn't apply the selected value.
At least i tryed to use the Autoroute function but this just function doesn't work. (Error during autorouter preprocessing. Source: Autorouter Parameter Error)
Is there any smart possibility to handle the problem?
Best regards

Beboni007,
Here is how matched length traces can be completed in Ultiboard.
First you do not necessarily need to setup a part group to do this... (differential pairs would require grouping)
1. Forward annotate your schematic / netlist from Multisim.
2. Determine the absolute minimum routing length from the origin of the net to the destination by routing a starter trace (remove/undo).
3. In Ultiboard, go to the spreadsheet view/ Nets tab and set the 'Topology' of interest to 'Star' for the traces you need matched.
-> This changes the Max Length and Min Length in the Nets tab from N/A to a number allowing you to set the min/max trace length
4. Set the Min Length of the nets to an appropriate value for your application (it will need to be at least the value of your starter trace in step #2)
-> Set the Max Length to the minimum + 50 mils or so (Ultiboard will do a relatively good job at attaining the minimum value but give it some room)
5. Go to the Autorouter/place settings and set the Routing mode to: Gridless (this will give the router flexibility to go off grid and match lengths)
6. Highlight the traces of interest and Autoroute these (Autoroute -> Autoroute Selected Nets).
Some Tips:
a. Do this routing first if possible
b. Restrict routing to a single layer if possible (restrict routing layers -> Routing Layers in the Nets tab)
Here is a simple example in Multisim:
After autorouting in Ultiboard as described:

How can i get the length of a string with Simplified Chinese?

when i use eventwriter to add content to a xmldocument,there are some chinese simplified string in it,i use String.length() for the length ,but it is not correct~how can i get the right length for eventwriter?

Below is a simple patch for this problem. Using this patch you need to pass 0 as the length argument for any XmlEventWriter interfaces that take a string length.

How can I know the length of an array in the class?

hard to express, I show guys an example:)
public class code{
pblic String[] str; // String array
public test () {
// I hope to print all items in the array after initiation;
// e.g. if String[3] , then print str0, str1,str2; if String[4], then //print str0, str1, str2, str3;
My puzzle here is, since the "str" may be not the same length in different initiation of code object, how can I implement the test method to print all items

for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
System.out.println(str);

you can use horizontalGap property on HBox to change the

also use <mx:Spacer/>, but changing the gap on HBox is
probably the cleanest way ;)

How can I remove the values of two MessageTextInputFields?

Hi all,
I have two MessageTextInput fields in which user have to enter two unique values.
With CO extension I have thrown a message "This code combination is already used" after some validation checks which is working fine.
My issue is -- if user enter the values which is previously entered than system throw a message which is workin fine but after thrown the messge system should clear the values which is entered by user in these two fields.
these two strings fields i got by
Agency_Location_Code = (String)pRow.getAttribute("AgencyLocationCode");
Bank_Account_Name = (String)pRow.getAttribute("BankAccountName");
How can I remove the values of Agency_Location_Code and Bank_Account_Name?
Thanks
Amit

Hi Gyan,
By setting null in Agency_Location_Code and Bank_Account_Name fields before throw exception, Still values of these two fields are showing. when we navigate to same supplier second time.
Is there any other solution to clear the fields.
Its urgent.
Thanks

I DRAG AND DROP A VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EVENT BROWSER THAT IS 7.9 SECONDS INTO MY IMOVIE I'VE STARTED AND IT CHANGES IN THE PROJECT TO 4.9 SECONDS - HOW CAN I KEEP THE LENGTH THE SAME

I drag a video clip from Event to Project into my imovie I've started. The video clip length changes from 7.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds. How can I stop that length from being changed?

If you are using transitions either side of the clip they will use some of the clip to generate the effect, there isn't anything you can do unless you remove or shorten the transition.
If you aren't using transitions it may be that you are only selecting part of the clip in the event window, try dragging out the yellow frame to include all the video you want in the project.

How can i compare the values of the objects in a class?

hi ,
i am testing how to test the values of the two objects
this is the code i have return below.....
class Sample{
          String name;
          int age;
          Sample(String name,int age){
               this.name=name;
               this.age=age;
public class sample2{
          public static void main (String []arg){
               Sample one = new Sample("cat",20);
               Sample two = new Sample("cat",20);
how can i test that object one and two are equal.
can anyone clarify me about this?

Um, this part doesn't work, it will never return true.

It will :) try for example objectOne.equals(objectOne); and add a System.out.println() at that part. It will return there.

but this part, woah dude, that's some pretty slick code you got here:
I couldn't figure out how to do the compare inside the class, but I think I see how this works.
Not sure how I would do it for an object with more than one value to check though.
    if (obj instanceof EqualsExample) {               //Not the best implementation considering possible subclasses but the easiest.
EqualsExample temp = (EqualsExample) obj;
return (this.name.equals(temp.name)); //Always use the equals function when comparing strings!
} else {
return false;
You could add them in one massive return (this.something == temp.something && etc). Or you could split it in a series of if statements. It's really dependant on what kind of variables there are in your class.
Maybe you have an ArrayList you need to compare but also an id. then it would make more sense to check the id first and then possibly loop through the arraylist.
Hope it's a bit more clear :)
