Right way to build / use quad tree?

Hi, the quadtree data stucture seems so simple, and fits alot of problems, but coding it properly is a problem.
The purpose of the tree is to find which objects are with in a visible area.
So each node has dimensions x,y,width, height. And child a,b,c,d. Plus a object list.
The main method to build the tree is the nodeSplit(), which needs to find the mid points on each edge and the center point, and create the child nodes, continuing to split until a min size is reached.
Sounds simple, its just not working for me!
The other part of the question is how should each node hold the objects in its bounds. Should an object be only in the smallest node that contains it. Or should the root node contain all objects, with each level having less and less objects?
Objects will move around, so should each node contain a int[] of object indexes, instead of the actual objects?
Id really appreciate any help!
Thanks, Harley.

Sounds simple, its just not working for me!Can you post your code?
The other part of the question is how should each node hold the objects in its boundsI wouldn't use either of your suggestions. Instead, I'd have separate rules for a leaf node and a branch node. A leaf node holds any object it overlaps. A branch node holds objects which contain it but don't contain its parent.
Objects will move around, so should each node contain a int[] of object indexes, instead of the actual objects?Of course not. You're storing a reference to the object, which takes up the same amount of memory as an int. And I'd use a Set rather than an array.

  • What is the best way to build a career path where I can evolve into an SAP role instead of one that is Customer Service based?

    In October 2011, my previous employer converted to SAP, as the rest of the worldwide entities were already using SAP. At that time, I was an Order Coordinator, where my job role was to process all of the Inside/Outside Sales Representatives orders for the US. Because of my keen attention to detail, the speed in which I learn new roles and general IT knowledge, I was asked to be the SAP SuperUser for our Financial Operations team. I quickly began to learn the roles of Order-to-Cash, Customer Master Data, Pricing Conditions, Contracts, some Material Master Data, and even Customer/Material Pricing Audits. I also performed manual customer billing in SAP until the automatic modules were implemented. Knowledge of these roles created a need for me to become a trainer to my team, where the SAP Consultants left off. After only working in SAP for the few months after the conversion started, I evolved out of an Order Coordinator rights of access and was given a not-so-typical role as an "analyst". I had more than a firefighter role in SAP, as my normal log in credentials gave me full rights to all of these modules and even special reporting. Our parent global company realized necessity for my role and followed proper protocol to authorize the access changes to still meet the SOx regulations. Prior to using SAP, I never thought I'd fall in love with it and enjoy my job so much, but it happened! Despite my previous employer's less than perfect data that was copied into SAP, we managed to have an efficient ongoing process to clean it all up.  I became more of a liaison between Financial Operations and our IT Dept/SAP Consultants. I "translated" the technical steps that IT/SAP Consultants were trying to teach everyone and trained my Financial Operations team in a way they would understand. I truly enjoyed my job, even at our most difficult moments.
    However, after all of the fun I was having while working in SAP and truly gaining a ton of useful experience and knowledge, "life" happened and I had an opportunity to move from Atlanta, GA to southern California. I've searched for months to find a new career here in California with a company that I could continue my learning experiences and become more proficient in SAP, but I'm a little lost. My search to find jobs have only given me possibilities in Customer Service positions or ones that are SAP sales/programming based. I'm floating in limbo and looking for help from the SAP community on where I can go from here to get back into a career path with SAP.
    I'm 28 years old and I'm currently finishing my Associate degree in Business Administration. I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), certified with the Help-Desk Institute as a Support Center Analyst, and also completed my previous employer's Quality Advocate Certification which focused on Six Sigma and Lean concepts. Prior to leaving the company, I was being considered for a company sponsored training in the Six Sigma Green or Black Belt program. I've recently started working a contract position as a Customer Service Rep, processing orders, but the company will be completing an SAP conversion in May 2013; so only a few months away. The problem I have in this position is that I feel frustrated in learning their current software when their entire team seems to have their own personal ways of doing their job. I prefer to have structure and perform job duties the right way, then building on that to make the job more streamlined. I spoke with my recruiter but he feels I may be a bit premature on feelings about working in this contract position. I may be just feeling a little impatient in having to wait another 3 months to see if the company may even hire me on permanently and what role I would have with SAP, beyond Customer Service Rep. I'm hoping to get some direction from the SAP community on where I might focus my attention in learning SAP. My hope is to find a position working with SAP like the one I enjoyed so much back in GA. I'm even considering options to learn the programming side. I think SAP is a great software package once people understand how it's designed, or can be designed, to work.
    Please help!!
    I'd be happy to provide my resume to anyone willing to review it and give me some pointers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I appreciate the length and detail of your post. I struggle answering questions from folks who give too little info. It's refreshing to have too much info for a change.
    I'll summarize your post and give suggestions:
    You have very strong end user experience, almost bordering on support level SD knowledge. You have experience with the way that at least one company implemented SAP SD but don't have many years of experience with different approaches, so you can't pitch yourself as someone who's "been-there, done-that" outside of the SD world and you can't bill yourself as having SD functional knowledge to the extend that you could be a consultant for SAP SD.  (See FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP for descriptions of different traditional SAP career paths.)
    You've moved to Southern California, which is chock full of companies using SAP, by the way, and you're having a hard time finding the right job. Your education is probably going to be problematic at this point. Most SAP related jobs require a Bachelor's Degree at a minimum. Definitely keep on going with your degree. I don't know where you're doing your associate's degree, but you might want to look in to Cal State Fullerton, which has an *excellent* SAP focused business degree program. (http://business.fullerton.edu/).
    You've found work at a company but had to start over at a lower level of responsibility. Since the job you just landed will be transitioning to SAP in 3 months, you have an opportunity to repeat your previous rise by volunteering to be a super-user again. Alternatively, you could talk to the group within your company and express your desire to help out supporting the system from the back end. Traditionally, companies lose a few folks immediately following an implementation, so there's a good chance that if you make your desires and skills known, that you'll be able to move onto the support team once a position opens up.
    All of the above assumes that you want to continue on the functional side of SD. You didn't mention any aptitude or preference for programming. It is certainly easier to get programming jobs than functional jobs (see How did you get your start in SAP?), but it seems like you really enjoyed the functional side of SAP. I do *not* recommend learning an SAP skill for which you have no desire simply to get a job, hoping that you can switch later. Use the skills you have to get the job you really want, doing something that really excites you. It's far to easy to fall into a job simply because it's there and get trapped and burned out.
    Hope this helps!

  • What's the "right" way to create a News list in CQ5.4?

    Hey folks,
    I'm a brand new CQ developer and, though I've done a lot of reading, I'm still in the dark on how to do a few things.
    I'm currently working on a corporate website, and I need to build a News page. Each article contains a title and rich text (possibly including embedded images, videos, etc...), and the News page itself should display a paginated list of recent article summaries (with "read full article" links). I also need to show the two or three most recent article summaries on the site's front page, under a News heading.
    I thought there'd be a pre-built component to cover this case, since most corporate sites include a News page of some sort, but I haven't found one. Am I missing it? I looked into the Blog page template, but I think that adapting that may be overkill.
    I think that the right way to do this would be to build a News component with a Title and Rich Text field in the edit dialog. New articles could be created by dropping these components into the parsys of the News page. I could then create both a .html and a .summary view for the components and use a customized List component to display the summary list on the front page. Am I on the right track here, or am I overcomplicating it?
    Thanks!
    - Michael

    Hi,
    The "right" way of building any list-like component is to extend the existing List component.
    That is referenced in this documentation page:
    http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/default_components.html#List
    You can find it under /libs/foundation/components/lists
    To create, for example, a 'News List' component, just create a new component under your /apps/myproject/components, setting 'foundation/components/list' as sling:resourceSuperType ans add your custom script to display each news item. see also [1]
    That way you canprovide more renderers to be used around your site(s)
    [1] - http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/components.html#Developing%20a%20new%20co mponent%20by%20adapting%20an%20existing%20%20%20%20%20component
    Hope this helps,

  • Using StAX with xslt transformations in the right way?

    Hi!
    What do I need to enable the stax functionality to transformations, and which transformer implementations is supporting this? (or is the implementation irrelevant)
    I have made the following to create a StaxSource, but is it enought?
    ---8<---
    private static XMLInputFactory inputFactory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
        InputStream xmlInputStream = xmlUrl.openStream();
        XMLStreamReader xmlStreamReader = inputFactory.createXMLStreamReader( xmlInputStream );
        Source xmlSource = new StAXSource( xmlStreamReader );
    transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(writer));
    ---8<---I'm using:
    org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpland every thing seems to work very nice, but I'm not sure if I have done it in the right way and if it's something that I miss.
    If I understand it correct normal transformations is transforming the xml to a Dom-tree but with StAX it shouldn't and be more memory efficient.
    So anyone have any comments?
    /Per

    Indeed, as DrClap has already stated, using a StAXSource will not guarantee streaming. All of the mainstream XSLT processors build some sort of DOM structure internally because, in the general case, XSLT requires random access on the input document. The only exception to this is the identity transform, which in most processors is done in streaming fashion --i.e., without actually creating an intermediate structure.

  • What is the right  way to display a table in Java web dynpro using a node.

    Hi experts,
      I am trying to show a node of cardinality 0...n as a table in an adobe form in Java web dynpro. But its not showing it properly. Can anybody please tell me what is the right way to display a table on adobe form using a node of cardinality 0...n or 1...n in Java Webdynpro.  In ABAP webdynpro, we can drag and drop a node of cardianlity 0...n or 1...n to  show as a table and it works fine. Is the same possible in Java webdynpro also. Please help.
    Thanks and Regards.
    Vaibhav Tiwari.

    Please refer to my post.. you will get the answer
    Dynamic Table -  same data repeating in all rows
    Special care should be taken in designing the context for table attribute.
    The attribute type singletone also plays a important role. I have this doubt from the beginning when you have reported this problem for the first time but finally you marked it as solved so i thought there might be some other issues but again when you reported that again i did some analysis.
    Now coming to final solution :
    For designing a table in adobe interactive form you have consider following
    You have to design the view context upto three level, I am explaining you the properties
    PDFDataSource (Parent Level1) - Cardinality 1:1 - Signetone -True - This is assigned to datasource
    TableList (Parent Level2) - Cardinality (1:1) - Signetone -True
    TableWrapper(Parent Level3) - Cardinality (0:n) - Signetone -True
    TableData (Parent Level4) - Cardinality (0:1) - Signetone - false (This is the main point)
    Then under TableData value node, you have to put all your table attributes.
    This Value Node name can be anything but hierarchy should be same as I have mentioned above.
    Please try out these steps and get back to me if you have any doubt.

    I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM instead.
    Am I overlooking something?  Should I need to prepare the image in a different way? (Sysprep differently?)
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Can you specify the error which you are facing during VDI setup for server 2012?
    I might think that you need to check the memory setting for server 2012, as might happens that due to less memory you can’t setup the VDI setup properly. 
    Memory: If the Master VM is configured with static memory, it must have at least 1024 MB as startup RAM. If the Master VM is configured with dynamic memory, the maximum RAM must be at least 1024 MB.

  • Battery: I need to use it the right waY...

    Hi, I'm a new iPad user and I've a question about the battery.
    I'm using it this way: Charge at 100%, use to 0%, then charge again till 100% and so on. Is it the right way? May I use and charge the battery partially? (say: charge to 80%, then use to 30%, then charge till 100%, then use to 25% and so on).
    Thank you.

    No, you don't need to do that all the time — Apple says this:
    "*Use Your iPad Regularly*
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down)." (Source)

  • Where/How do I programmatically build the component tree?

    Hi! I'm having a lot of problems trying to make my JSF application work...
    Here's the situation:
    - I have to display a form (questionnaire) consisting of a tree (form - subforms - sections - groups - questions - checkboxes/dropdowns...). Each of these parts are custom components, with custom renderers.
    - This display is only a small part of a wider application (so the custom ViewHandler solution seems impossible to me), and it is done in an imported jsp (using <jstl:import ...>). In this jsp, there is only one component, representing the "root" of the questionnaire, because the structure of the questionnaire is unknown at the beginning.
    - I need to build programmatically (in Java) the component tree of my questionnaire (according to the structure loaded from a database) and integrate it in the component tree of the whole application.
    - The problem is I can't get this to work properly in the JSF lifecycle (either the restoreState/saveState methods aren't called, or the "main" tree doesn't contain my "sub-tree" although everything is rendered properly...). I searched on a lot of forums, I tried a lot of solutions (new UIComponent() vs. application.createComponent(...) / create the tree in the component constructor vs. in the component renderer... ) but none of them seemed to meet my requirements, since it seems to be a tricky situation.
    So, does anyone knows how to achieve this? How and where to build my component tree?
    (ask me if a you need more information about my code!)
    Thanks in advance!!
    Adriano

    Bit_happens wrote:
    - I'm using the "createComponent" method to build my tree (instead of just calling the component constructor), is that right? For example:
    UISubform subformComponent = (UISubform) application.createComponent(UISubform.TYPE);
    //UISubform subformComponent = new UISubform();What is the difference with the plain constructor call?You are not implementation dependent then.
    - Apparently, I have to explicitly add the panelGroup to the component tree, or else it won't be part of the tree. Is that normal? Shouldn't JSF add it to the tree automatically when it finds it in the JSP? I have to do the following:
    UIComponent parent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent("form_subview").findComponent("main_form");
    parent.getChildren().add(panel);
    panel.setParent(parent);- Is there a difference between creating the "sub-tree" in an ascending way, or in a descending way? I.e. first creating the leaves and then going up the branches until I plug the root component into the main tree, or first creating the root component and then going down the branches until all the leaves are created?No, there isn't.
    - I think my custom components themselves should be right, and they're declared in faces-config. It looks like the panelGroup doesn't renders its children, but it should by default, right? When I look at the rendered page source code, the panelGroup is empty:
    <span id="form_subview:main_form:formPanel"></span>- Do you think of anything else I should check? Any tricky setting I could have forgot?Try adding existing components to the panelGroup, e.g. HtmlOutputText. If that works, then I rather think there is a flaw in your component.

  • How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

    Hi Everyone
    My name is Daté.
    I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
    I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
    Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
    When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
    The main idea is to (Theory) :
    create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
    Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
    Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
    Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
    I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
    But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
    Here is the process :
    I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
    I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
    In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
    The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
    To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
    The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
      Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
    The panel appears empty
    The others panel are also empty
    The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
    When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
    I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
    I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
    It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
    I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
    It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Best regards,
    Daté 

    Hi Sunil,
    After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
    There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
    METHOD 1 :
    I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
    In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
    The plugin install an XMP project
    In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
    A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
    You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
    The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
    Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
    I try this way several times, with no good results.
    METHOD 2 :
    I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
    In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
    As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
    The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
    When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
    The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
    The second method seems to be the right way.
    For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
    So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
    I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
    Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is  :
    A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
    A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
    A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
    How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    Best Regards

  • Right way to handle progressive 1080 footage in FCP

    Just want to make sure how the workflow goes and how the things get done the right way from the beginning.
    What I'm trying to uderstand here is how I should set up and what things to consider with 1080p25 material that I wish to keep progressive through the whole process. My hardware is:
    Quad 2.5 G5 with 4.5 GB of RAM
    Aja Kona 3 capture card
    SONY HDW-S2000P HDCAM recorder
    FCP 5.1.2
    Mac OS 10.4.8
    Footage was shot on HDCAM 1080p25. Should I capture that using Apple uncompressed 4:2:2 codec (1080i50). How is the progressive nature of footage retained as there seems to be no 1080p25 ability in FCP? When I edit back to tape should I use 1080i50 or 1080psf25 on my Sony HDW-2000?
    If someone can clarify this step by step, I would be a happy camper...
    QT 7.1.3
    Final Touch HD 2.6.1 with Tangent panels

    Use the stock presets all the way here... i.e. if it's 25fps, use the Kona's 50i... you won't lose the progressive scan at all, and 50i will not interlace the progressive scan footage.

  • What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

    When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

    That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
    I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
    Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?
