Navigation algorithm suggestion

Maps 3.06 (and earlier) has difficulties in distinguishing roads from each other, when the roads are very close to each other. This leads to onfusion when a highway flies over a minor road, or when a highway is just 10 meters away from a minor road in parallel. This brought me to the following idea for improvement in the navigation algorithm:
Let the navigator assume on which road it is by the SPEED. E.g. when I drive 120 km/h, the navigator may assume that I am on the highway and not on the small road which has a speed limit of 80 km/h.
I am aware that this will not lead to 100% correct determinations, but it will be much better than the current system which seems to make a random choice between the roads (if the roads are near to each other).
Does this make sense?
The dedicated Mio navigator in my car has the same problem, albeit to a smaller extend because its GPS unit is more accurate.
Cheers, Herman

Navigation bar suggestion/autocomplete history dropdown disappears

The drop-down history suggestion bar disappears, especially when the browser's been open for a while, ie., I'll type "m" in the address bar, but "mozilla.org" (or any other site from my history) won't show up underneath - meaning I have to either type in the full address or go to a bookmark. This happens with the search box, too - if I type something in, it won't give me suggestions from past searches. Restarting always fixes it, but it's getting annoying. Running Firefox 3.6.10 on Ubuntu 10.04

Updating to a newer version may easily mess the toolbar configuration. You are suggested launching Firefox [[Safe Mode]], and select “reset all the buttons from toolbar” then click restart Firefox. (I don't know what is exactly called in English version). And then, you will see all the buttons are restored to default settings. You may now re-drag-and-drop all buttons including your disappeared buttons in customize.

Navigation app suggestions

I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong category.I am in the market for a navigation app. There are so many navigation app out there so I do not know which one to choose. Which app(s) or developer(s) do you think is the best? I would like to get one where it will download the whole United States (or part of it) on my phone so I do not use up data. If you think an app is great even if I have to use my data, please let me know too. I really appreciate any help this community could give me. Thanks.....

You'll find more in-depth answers much faster if you Google "ios navigation app review".

Portal iviews as services in left hand navigation

When I click on a iview - I am able to show iviews as "Relative Links" in the left hand navigation.
But I am not able to show them as "Services" in left hand navigation below "Detailed Navigation".
Suggest me to solve this.

I have different kind of iviews from URL iview to Transaction iVIews or Webdynpro iviews, I am showing them in lefthand side presently in Detailed Navigation box. but I want to show them as Services to a iview/page/workset is that possible?
I have seen that in Buyer/Purchasing Business package. But I am not able to design in such way..

Work around for request scope for Listitems-working

Hi finally I got some work around solution for Listitems working with request scope, if any suggesion welcome, below is the small code of jsp and bean.
<h:selectOneMenu id="ownerListMenu" value="#{pc_trackingSearchPage.trackingSearchPageBean.selectedOwner}">
                                        <f:selectItems value="#{pc_trackingSearchPage.trackingSearchPageBean.ownerList}" />
                                   </h:selectOneMenu>
I used onPageLoadBegin() and onPagePost(),
first on PageLoad - I am loading the List from DB, its displaying perfect.,
than on pagePost -> I am setting the value ->ownerList.add(new SelectItem(getOwnerListMenu().getSubmittedValue().toString(),getOwnerListMenu().getSubmittedValue().toString()));
------->here is the getOwnerListMenu method.
     public HtmlSelectOneMenu getOwnerListMenu() {
          if (ownerListMenu == null) {
               ownerListMenu =
                    (HtmlSelectOneMenu) findComponentInRoot("ownerListMenu");
          return ownerListMenu;
so this way the List will not be empty what ever the user selectes it will be their, as i am setting key and values as same, so in submit method,
i am getting the selected keys and going back to backend getting results displaying on other page,
--->this will work only if they don't need the list , if they want to display the list again, they have to load freshelly.
I hope it will give some solution for request scope, if the data is huge and not to save on the session for navigation purpose.
suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Apperently iTunes 11 is not affected (Apple stil makes iTunes11 for the 14 yr old Microsoft XP OS, but not for anything PPCs can run. Go figure)
"Next door" to Steve was metaphoric, he lived in Los Altos, about 15 miles away, but he cast a big shadow!
On 9.2.1/10.4.11 differences, some time in the past someone selected 'save file' and checked the box 'don't ask again' on your computers dialog box. That's why you're not given a choice wih the file downloads. I would think that selection should be able to be reversed.
iTunes 9.2.1/OS10.4.11 puts those downloaded URLs into the Music Libary of iTunes, no matter if it's opened directly, or you click on the file on your desktop. You can create a new playlist, highlight the selection in the Music Libary, and drag it to your new playlist to keep alll the steaming URLs together. NOTE, this only creates an alias, the URL copied by iTunes must remain in the Music Libary. You can then delete the the files on the desktop, if you want. I did multiple stations this way in 9.2.1, they all show in either the new playlist created, or in the Music Libary, and remain after the desktop files are deleted and trash emptied.
You can switch sations by double clicking them. Another note, all the URLs were all from vtune.
I hope this helps.

Why is the size of new image constructed using Bufferd Image class less?

I am trying to compress image losslessly, for start I what I am doing is:
step1. Access pixels of .jpg image and store in array
Step2. Reconstruct the image from same array
What I have found is, that the size of new image constructed is less than the original.
I am pasting the code below
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedImage sourceImage = null;
try {
sourceImage = ImageIO.read(new File("Sample.jpg"));
} catch (IOException e) {
int type = sourceImage.getType();
int w = sourceImage.getWidth();
int h = sourceImage.getHeight();
byte[] pixels = null;
if (type == BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR) {
System.out.println("type.3byte.bgr");
pixels = (byte[]) sourceImage.getData().getDataElements(0, 0, w, h, null);
try {
BufferedImage edgesImage = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
edgesImage.getWritableTile(0, 0).setDataElements(0, 0, w, h, pixels);
ImageIO.write(edgesImage, "jpg", new File("result.jpg"));
} catch (IOException e) {
Please could any one explain me why is it so?

I am working on a IEEE paper where in I am supposed to achieve a better compression ratios as compared to current JPEG standards. So if only loading and displaying the image results in size reduction and quality too, how do I go ahead with my algorithmI suggest you:
(a) start with images in an uncompressed format such as TIFF, rather than a format which is already lossy (JPEG)
(b) acquire some basic knowledge about JPEG before you attempt to improve on it, and
(c) learn to quote accurately. Otherwise your paper will be refereed out of existence. I didn't say anything about 'loading and displaying the image resulting in size reduction and quality too'. I said 'loading and storing'; and 'change the contents', not 'size reduction and quality too'.
A JPEG load and store operation does not result in a bitwise identical file. Frankly you should already know that.

Log cleaning takes a lot

Hi,
I've been reading the forum but could not find a hint for solving my problem. I apologize if I missed something and the answer is already there.
My scenario for using BDB (je-4.0.103):
- a read-only environment with about 4000 databases. The environment uses about 100GB disk space. Log file size is 10MB. Cache size is 100MB.
- databases are opened only when needed and are closed after a few minutes of inactivity
- when in read-only mode cleaner, checkpointer and IN compressor threads are disabled
- once a day, the env is closed and re-opened in read/write mode for performing bulk data load, in deferred write mode, without transactions. About 0.5 - 1GB of data is imported daily (1 million key-value pairs).
- during load, IN compressor is enabled but cleaner and checkpointer are not
- log cleaning and checkpointing is invoked manually at the end of data import using the algorithm suggested in the docs
After several months of working properly without any signs of degradation the whole thing broke down suddenly. The log cleaning takes now hours instead of minutes and it does not seem to do its job: the environment is now 250GB and keeps growing. Restart also takes several hours.
Any help would be appreciated. If more details about my setup is needed, I can provide it.
Thank you!

Mentioned the size of the cache.

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much for your help.
I just tried increasing the cache from 100MB to 1GB and it made miracles. Log cleaning was finally completed after 2 hours. The db start time is now back to normal (less than 2 minutes).
I'm still concerned with the fact that log cleaning takes a lot, but at least it finishes after several hours. Will have a look at db space utilization after completing a new run and will tell you the results.

Using Eclipse instead of XCode/Visual C++ ?

Hello everybody,
I am pretty sure this question has already been asked, but I can't get any answer.
Why does Adobe recommend (and distribute samples) based on XCode and Visual C++? Why is there no documentation/projects based on Eclipse ? I can't see any problems using Eclipse, excepted Xcode/Visual C++ based sample projects and docs.
I have been working for monthes on Eclipse and I can only see advantages using it :
Cross-platform : no need to have Windows and OSX projects.
More functionalities : What about functionality such as call hierarchy, classes navigator, automatic suggestions... ?
Better integration : CPPUnit, Maven... What a wonderful world out of reach !
Has anyone among you ever tried to use Eclipse for InDesign plugin development ? What were the problems ? Why Adobe does not event mention the possibility to develop with Eclipse ? Is it really difficult to migrate to Eclipse projects ?
I'd like to read your feedbacks
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hello,
Yes, you can use still use the plugin.

thanks

UI Shell - closing dirty activities when switching globalTabs

We're currently using the UI Shell with several globalTabs. In one of the tabs via the Launcher we open an activity when the user clicks on the relevant link via the following code:
public void openCreateSubmission(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
prxForm.setUsesUpload(true);
_launchActivity("Create Submission", "/WEB-INF/flows/create-submission.xml#create-submission", false);
currentTabDirty(actionEvent);
Note how we implicitly mark the activity as dirty as opening our activity/btf is the start of a transaction.
With the globalTabs and other navigable items on the screen, rather than disabling them while the activity is dirty in the current globalTab, we'd rather allow the user to select an alternative globalTab and then warn them that the current tab is dirty, displaying the appropriate dialog that's build into the UI Shell.
To do this I've added the following code:
<af:commandNavigationItem text="Welcome" id="cni1" action="Welcome"
actionListener="#{backingBeanScope.shellLauncher.closeCurrentActivity}"/>
Problem I'm hitting is the dirty dialog is displaying after the tab navigation has occurred, not before, which defeats the point.
I'm a bit surprised by this behaviour as the actionListener code should fire before the action property navigation.
Suggestions?
Cheers
CM.

Thanks for the feedback Richard.
Regards "It is a best practice recommendation from Oracle to use managed beans to store logic that is related to the UI rendering only. All application data and processing should be handled by logic in the business layer of the application." ... yeah, yeah, yeah ;-) However in this case we have a 3rd party library we're calling that is doing work on our behalf, the data control feature we could use for publishing it through the binding layer for non BC components has always being wonky and badly documented, so it's just easier to call it from the JSF managed bean. But point taken.
Regards "unified method" ... ok, accepted limitation.
With regards the uncommittedDataWarning, I note that it is a warning mechanism and not an error mechanism (or at least, it doesn't have an option to enforce no navigation). It would seem ideal, especially with it's backbutton functionality, to display an error only, leaving the user on the same page, and forcing them to do a commit. Obviously this wouldn't be ideal in all cases, but certainly in some. Do you agree? I'll raise an ER if so.
Cheers,
CM.

Untangling graph nodes

Imagine a graphical class browser where the graph is generated from the source code and each class' interactions are connected by lines. (interaction could be inheritance, ownership, etc) In laying out plotting the class elements, the lines cross. i.e. (ascii art to the rescue!)
A B- C
\ | /
\ | /
\ | /
|
/|\
/ | \
D E F
Does anyone have any suggestions for being able to 'balance' the above graph to something more like:
A B--C
| | |
F E D
I have played with making the lines springs and having the nodes repulse each other. This can give a somewhat 'balanced' graph, but often balances in a state where the lines are crossed. I have also played around with have the lines from the nodes be radially balanced. (2 lines off a node are ideally at 180 degrees, 3 are at 120 degrees, etc) This works marginally well on a graph where all of the node systems are connected and where the nodes interlink much.
There will be graphs which cannot be uncrossed, but I'm looking for some algorithmic suggestions for something that will get me close.
Granted, it is an out there question, but I thought I would throw it out and see if anyone had any suggestions. To further complicate matters, I would love to be able to compute this in real time, so as a user selects a different type of connection, the graph will rebalance itself visually.
many thanks,
Steven

Many thanks for all of the quick responses. They have given me fresh appreciation for the problem, vocabulary I needed to do further research, a pointer to source code, and a bit of salve to my battered ego over not being able to figure this out.
The graphs will probably rarely be planar, but breaking it into subgraphs is an interesting idea. I visualize walking my nodes and looking for groups that are connected only be one link. I also like the annealing idea, perhaps using both the number of connections and the tension of the links as energy levels.
Looking over JGraph source, they are doing a <much more sophisticated> version of what I was trying and thier work is based on the actual Sun Demo applet GraphLayout, which I hadn't seen. ( http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.1/demo/GraphLayout/Graph.java ) JGraph seems to have a much more complex node attraction system and damping (to keep the graph from oscillating) that works much better than the original applet.
All thinks considered, I think I will start with the basic applet code and then work up from there. For complex graphs, I may attempt to try to break them up into subgraphs which can be initially placed apart, and then balanced separately.
Since this, assuming it is ever released, will probably be released as freeware or shareware, I have a certain amount of freedom to tell any users complaining about the ELP (edge label placement) to go stuff themselves. :) ( I try to limit myself to tackling one NP complete problem per app )
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions,
Steven

C++ interface

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to create two way communication between my LabVIEW VI and a user program writhen in C++ or Matlab.
The idea is that the user program will be able to lunch the VI, which will run in the background, and then send commands and recieve output as it wishes (the VI is a control algorithm for a quad copter and the user program is a navigation algorithm. So the user might send input such as "go to (X,Y,Z)" or "take off and hover" and ask for output such as "where is the quad copter?" "is the quad copter airborne?").
I think what I'm looking for is baically something like LabVIEW notifiers that can be used between C++/Matlab and LabVIEW (i.e there would be a notifier with the next designated coordinate updated by the user, and a notifier with the current position updated by the VI).
Any ideas what I should be looking at?
Thank you for your help!
Solved!

I'm guessing you're looking at the LVH quadcopter controls.
I'm not familiar with LVH, I'm building the control algorithm from scratch because it's a bit different from most of the algorithms I saw (flying indoor using IR cameras as positioning input, rather then outdoor using GPS, accelerometers and gyros).
natasftw wrote:
Why not just build your UI in LabVIEW instead of c++? It's already pretty much done for you. Why is there a need to complicate the communication?
Because the users of this control algorithm will be people doing research on navigation and guidance, who don't necessarily know LabVIEW. My goal is to allow each researcher to write his or her navigation and guidance code in a language to their preference without being bothered with control

Navigation buttons not showing up on Mail screen. Any suggestions?

This issue started two days ago before which it was working normally.
Basically, now when I click on the mail icon on the main menu, it opens up the mail screen but the navigation buttons on the top (allowing me to go to the parent folder, go to previous/next message etc.) do not show up any more.
The top of the screen now is the To: field. I have tried to scroll up past it but its just a dark grey area.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
