Rotate and Move

Any chance 11g will have rotate and offset (move) functions?
I wrote my own several years ago - but people I talk with are somewhat puzzled why 10gR2 still doesn't have these two basic spatial functions.

I have started an "SDO Enrichment Project" out on Sourceforge. One of the first things up there is my current SDO_UTIL_PLUS package, which includes the above move and rotate functions.
I hope to get some community involvement, and plan to add more packages and functions as time allows (copy from current source, improve documents, etc.).
Enjoy...

Rotate and move image

Hi,I'm trying to make a game kinda like gta or asteroids whereyou have top view. I am using an image to be the player and, I want to rotate that image using left and righ keys and with the up key move the player to the direction whereit is rotated.
The problem is that i cannot display the rotation and movement at the same time.
I'm using a code like this.
AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform
public void checkGameInput(){
     float velocityX=0;
     float velocityY=0;
     if(rotateLeft.isPressed()){
           angle1+=angle2;
          transform.rotate(-angle2, player.getWidth()/2, player.getHeight()/2);
// similar for rightkey
   if (moveFront.isPressed()){
           velocityX=_Player.SPEED*Math.cos(angle1),
           //same for velocityY
}the problem is when i try to print on the sceen.
I can update position
public void draw(Graphics 2D g){
g.drawImage(player. getImage(), Math.round(player.getX()), Math.round(player.getY()),null) // player.getX(9 returns position of playeror update rtation
public void draw(Graphics 2D g){
g.drawImage(player.getImage(),transform, null);is there a way to join this to drawImageso I can rotate ane move the rotatyed image?
thank you very much for any kind of help.

Use the transform to do both rotation and translation (multiple transform operations can be concatenated)
transform.rotate(-angle2, player.getWidth()/2, player.getHeight()/2);
transform.translate(player.getX(), player.getY());

Working with images - Rotation and Movement

Hello there,
I have this problem that I cant seem to solve:
I need to be able to move an image arround and there are restrictions to where image should be able to move: at any given time, when dragging, image should always cover whole body of a given border_container, this is simply achieved by sending a rectangle to the startDrag function, which will specify where the image is allowed to move. I got that part right, and its working, the problem arrise when I try to rotate the border_container (with the image), it should still be only possible to drag image so it all the time covers the body of the border_container, but I don't know how to do it.
Code I use looks something like this:
image.startDrag(getImageDragRectangle());
protected function getImageDragRectangle():Rectangle
     return new Rectangle(
          this.width-image.contentWidth + x,
          this.height-image.contentHeight + y,
          Math.abs(this.width-image.contentWidth),
          Math.abs(this.height-image.contentHeight));
Edit: image is not inside the border_container (not sure how relevant it is..)
Could anyone help me out here and give me any hints or suggestions how I could fix it?

You would have to write the image to a temporary file so that the browser could read it off the server. Browsers do not have access to the database, so there's no way to get the image from the database to the browser without using some sort of interim solution.

Rotate and move multiple objects

Hiya!
I'm looking for a way for the user to be able to freely move
by clicking and dragging objects and also have the ability for the
user to rotate that object once in place. Any ideas, dudes?

Look into startDrag(), stopDrag(), and the _rotation property
(rotation if you're using AS3).

Select and move multiple keyframs

I just switched from Adobe Premier Elements on a PC to FCE 4. In PrEl, you can select multiple keyframes in their equivalent of the Viewer, you can them move them as a group. (Select them shift click or drag a square around them.)
This is really useful for changing the timing of motion, i.e., if you decide that you'd like the motion to take a little longer etc.
it also lets you move them to a different time w/out rick of changing the values in the overlay.
I can't figure out a way to do this in FCE, is there a hidden way or something I'm missing?
thanks

I'd like to be able to stretch out a motion. For example, I scale in a photo. But I later decide the scaling should take 8 seconds rather than 5. I'd like to grab the 2nd keyframe for scale and rotation and move them both equally 3 seconds later.
I believe moving a motion path just changes its position, but doesn't affect it's duration.

Problem in rotating and moving image at the same time

the problem is that im making a car game(2D) in which u have upper view of car.
i have make the car rotate bt problem is that i canot move it forward or backward correctly
.wen i move it forward or backward i goes wrong...
nd another problem is that i cannot both rotate and move the car at same time
example if i press both up nd right arrow keys i doesnt move nd rotate..
nd also plz tell me the accelerate nd reverse method so i can speedup my car like other car games

Rotating and Translating an Image

Superimposing layers each with isolated rotation, scale, and "move"ment

This application seems like it should be easy, but two hours of experimentation have not solved the puzzle. I have two transparent graphic eps files. One I turn into a background layer by flattening it. My need is to articulate detail on both files, which requires that the background image remain unchanging and the second (file's) image be superimposed over it and -independently- rotated, scaled, and moved. Of course the second image is opened on some unknown variety of layer, but which I've been unable to discover. That's my conundrum, should be intuitively simple but has proven impossible. Anyone?

"...is there a way to precisely scale, move, and rotate an image..."
Yes, there is, and controls appear in the Options bar. For example, pictured here:
the circled item allows a specific rotation, and the symbol appearing in the Edit > Transform image
may be dragged to a particular "pivot point" in the image if you prefer.
Note also that you may revise height & width (note the Link symbol to maintain proportion)
The far left X and Y fields, when used with your keyboard arrow keys, provide for shifting an image in small, measured increments.

Performance issues with Motion (position, scale, rotate) and GTX 590

I'm experiencing performance issues with my Premiere Pro CC when I scale, position or rotate a clip in the program monitor.
I have no performance issues with playback! It's only, when i move something with the mouse or by changing the x,y-values of Position in the Motion-Dialog in video effects.
Premiere then lags terribly and updates the program monitor only about once per second - this makes it very difficult and cumbersome to work and position things.
On a second Premiere installation on my laptop, performance is fine and fluid - allthough it doesn't have GPU support and is a much slower computer.
I'm pretty sure this has somehow to do with my graphic card, which is a Nvidia GTX 590.
I was told by the support, that it is actually a dual graphic card, which is not supported/liked by Premiere.
The thing is, until the latest Premiere update, I did not have performance issues at all with this card.
I also read on the forum that others with the GTX 590 did not experience any problems with it
So where does this come from?
There is no change in performance whether or not I activate Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
I also tried deactivating one of the 2 gpus, but there also was no change.
Does anyone else know this problem and has anyone a solution?
I'm running Premiere CC on a Win 7 64bit engine, Nvidia GTX 590, latest driver (of today),

I am suffering from the same phenomenon since I updated just before christmas, I think.
I am hardly able to do scaling, rotating and translating in the program monitor itslef - whil motion has been highlighted in teh effect controls.
In the effect controls I can scale, rotate etc however.
Also I have noticed there is a yellow box with handles in teh program monitor. I remember it was white before.
I cannot figure out what to change in my preferences. What has happened?
best,

Rotating and Centering Masked Text

I'm in the process of creating a textual watermark for my photos in photoshop but have come across a big problem. I am using the horizontaly text mask tool but I cannot rotate nor center (both horizontally and vertically) my text before turning it into a layer. If I rotate and center the text after putting it into a new layer it wont work since the text will move and leave the writing embossed onto the picture. Any help is kindly appreciated !

Do not use Mask Text use a Text layer set its fill to 0 and give it a layer style.

QT in html, events fired and movie internals doc

Hi,
The Javascript Scripting Guide says under "Executing JavaScript Functions From QuickTime", page 11:
Wired actions can be triggered by user interaction, as a result of a frame in the movie being displayed, or as the
result of arbitrary wired calculations.
It also briefly describes (page 23) the matrix and rectangle properties, saying "You can use a movie’s transformation matrix to scale, translate, and rotate the movie image. For details on the transformation matrix, see Movie Internals."
And the Rectangle is defined as "void SetRectangle(string rect)"
Where can I find the reference to the events fired by QT automatically ?
Where can I find this Movie Internals description ?
I'm not very familiar with javascript... That's not a QT issue, but where can I find a description of the rect ?
Many thanks

Yes, you can navigate to other pages using buttons/code in an swf file. And you can trigger an event as well, though I don't know if that's what you intended to say if navigating to another page is what you are really after.
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);

Fast image rotation and contrast adaptation

First: I'm new in vision processing.
I'm using LabView 8.0 with the IMAQ Vision development module. The aim is to control the angle and the contrast of a precalculated image (a greyscale wedge) in a fast loop with a framerate of 60 or 100Hz. Currently I use the time-consuming IMAQ rotate and IMAQ BCG functions. All these function works very fine but a litle bit to slow for my application. I have measure: IMAQ rotate with 40ms and IMAQ BCG with 15ms for an image with 1024 x 768 pixels (8-bit greyscale) on a new PC. I know that an arbitrary rotation is a processor intensive task.
Please correct me, but i assume that with IMAQ rotate the image rotation will be carried out in the PC RAM. Afterwards the recalculated image will be written in the grafic memory. In a final step the image will be displayed on the monitor by mean of the grafic processor.
I can imagine there exist a solution or some ideas in the LabView community to use the high end 3D very fast grafic card processor for the rotation and contrast tasks. I hope the approach will accelerate the time of calculation.
Thanks for your help.

And of course, the rambling about IMAQ image pointers isn't relevant. (Skip all IMAQ.)
You might as well send the image once (each time it changes), and rotate it with opengl.

Hi,
If I understand correctly, you just want a gradient screen to rotate, and to be able to adjust it's contrast.
This can be done a lot easier without an image. If you use OpenGL, you can just draw two triangles with there color set correctly. (You'd be able to make nice rainbow pictures as a bonus.)
An C/C++ application, or dll, could be made in a few hours by someone experienced with opengl and c++. You could even create an opengl window, and control it with LabVIEW. In other opengl applications there are some practical problems, but some might not matter to your application. Biggest problem is getting feedback (mouse clicks, close, move, resize window etc.) from the OpenGL window to LabVIEW.
Opening a opengl window, rotating a few polygons, adjusting color, closing window certainly doable.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Hi Wiebe, I have a fixed image, created before with array functions, that contain a pure linear greyscale gradient (left side: white / right side: black). I used this image to control a "spatial light modulator". This device is connected to the second DVI graphic card output. The main task of the "spatial light modulator" is to shift the local phase of the reflective light. It works as an spatial resolved "adaptive mirror".  The local phase shift correspondes directly to the applied grey level of the image. To change the direction in both dimensions of the reflective light I need to rotate this image (= rotate the phase wedge) Thereby the contrast can adjust the absolute angle of reflection.After I had calculated my greyscale gradient image and applied it to the second DVI output, I want only control the contrast and rotation. I think the graphic card function are very fast. But I have to control the graphic card directly per DLL or C-function node. It must be possible because I can tune the contrast and adjust the rotation manually with the nvidea driver in the windows system manager. I'm  waiting for a couple of weeks of an answer from nvidea but it seems that contrast and rotation of an 2D-image is not a real problem for these 3-D guys. :-(I hope of an answer or new ideas.Ivo Buske

Rotate and edit videos

Im searching for a good app to rotate and edit videos I've taken. Im affraid to purchase any of them I get in search. imove and rotate HD came up. I go upon the rating but looking at them it seems the developers of those apps rate them to make them look better. When I actually read and research the apps they arent that great and have a lot of flaws. I dont want to waist the time and money. From the looks of it all Apple doesnt test these apps thoroughly, which is ashame. Does anyone have any real suggestions?

Rediculous comment, even from a Windows user.
For an Apple user this is easy, as described below. For Windows please ask the question on a Microsoft forum.
You can do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:

There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:

Weird rotation and swiping

Just an observation about the rotation and swiping on the Z10.
I normally have the Z10 in a charging dock which has it lying on its side.
The screen and icons are to the side and so I have to swipe from right to left. When it moves to the active screens (say emails) it then rights itself and shows this screen upright and I then swipe from the bottom of the screen to the top.
Why if it a landscape mode, don't all screens don't work in that manner and you have to move between swiping across (and turning your head!) and up (or annoyingly take it out of the dock)?
Thanks,
S
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You have a dock? From where?
What you're seeing is known, and likely will be corrected in coming OS releases. BlackBerry needs to make all screens rotatable.. and some users say this issue is exactly why BlackBerry itself has yet to release the OEM charging dock.

I paid for Quicktime Pro but only show Quicktime. I need to rotate a movie.

I have registered successfully with the license code they sent me after I paid for Quicktime Pro. The email from them says that I now have Quicktime Pro, but still I only show regular Quicktime, not Quicktime Pro.
I DO HAVE A NEW DELL LAPTOP SO THIS MAY BE OPERATOR ERROR.
I'd like to be able to rotate a movie but the directions I have don't work for regular Quicktime.
I found directions online that tell me to open Quicktime Pro. Go to "Window". Then to "Show Movie Properties" then to the icons for rotating a movie.
I can get as far as "Show Movie Properties" but after that there is a strange chart and nothing about rotating anything.
How do I get the Quicktime Pro to show up instead of regular Quicktime?
Thanks in advance for any help you may give to me.

Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, it doesn't give me this option. When I go to "Windows" and then to "Show Movie Properties" and I click on the video, nothing happened other than it is highlighted in blue. I tried clicking once. Nada. Twice Nada. I tried right clicking. Nothing comes up. The options I have are below. Is this making any sense to you? Thanks.

Shouldn't my program say Quicktime Pro?
