Storing set of values in an array

I am curious how this would be done best. I have 15 sets of x and y values, that should be stored together. I was thinking I could have an array, holding 15 other arrays, each holding the x and y value? Is that a valid way to do this? Also, is there a way to create those arrays holding the x and y, dynamically, so they just get numbered?
MainArray[
     subArray[x1, y1];
     subArray[x2, y2];
     subArray[x3, y3];
     subArray[x4, y4];
     subArray[x5, y5];
     subArray[x6, y6];
     subArray[x7, y7];
     etc...
Obviously, above is not correct AS. Is this even a way to do this? Are there other much better ways???
Thanks a lot!

In addition to Ned's suggestion you can use points:
var array:Array = [new Point(100, 50), new Point(40, 30), etc.]
You would read/write it the same way as in Ned's example:
array[1].x
array[1].y
Although Ned's suggestion is more compact, if you need to use Point class' properties and methods that may save some calculations (especially if the array intended to use in some physics engine) - holding x/y in point instance is probably more desirable.

  • How to set the value of an array element (not the complete array) by using a reference?

    My situation is that I have an array of clusters on the front panel. Each element is used for a particular test setup, so if the array size is three, it means we have three identical test setups that can be used. The cluster contains two string controls and a button: 'device ID' string, 'start' button and 'status' string.
    In order to keep the diagrams simple, I would like to use a reference to the array as input into a subvi. This subvi will then modify a particular element in the array (i.e. set the 'status' string).
    The first problem I encounter is that I can not select an array element to write to by using the reference. I have tried setting the 'Selection s
    tart[]' and 'Selection size[]' properties and then querying the 'Array element' to get the proper element.
    If I do this, the VI always seems to write to the element which the user has selected (i.e. the element that contains the cursor) instead of the one I am trying to select. I also have not found any other possible use for the 'Selection' properties, so I wonder if I am doing something wrong.
    Of course I can use the 'value' property to get all elements, and then use the replace array element with an index value, but this defeats the purpose of leaving all other elements untouched.
    I had hoped to use this method specifically to avoid overwriting other array elements (such as happens with the replace array element) because the user might be modifying the second array element while I want to modify the first.
    My current solution is to split the array into two arrays: one control and one indicator (I guess that's really how it should be done ;-) but I'd still like to know ho
    w to change a single element in an array without affecting the others by using a reference in case I can use it elsewhere.

    It isn't possible to get a reference to a particular element within an
    array. There is only one reference to the one control that represents
    all elements in the array.
    While it may seem better to use references to update
    an element within
    an array, it shouldn't really be necessary, and it can also lead to
    race conditions. If you write to an element that has the
    possibility of the user changing, whether you write with a local, a
    reference, or any other means, there is a race condition between the
    diagram and the user. LV will help with this to a certain extent,
    especially for controls that take awhile to edit like ones that use
    the keyboard. In these cases, if the user has already started entering
    text, it will not be overwritten by the new value unless the key focus
    is taken away from the control first. It is similar when moving a slider
    or other value changes using the mouse. LV will write to the other values,
    but will not rip the slider out of the user's hand.
    To completely avoid race conditions, you can split the array into user
    fields and indicators that are located underneath them. Or, if some
    controls act as both, you can do like Excel. You don't directly type
    into the cell. You choose w
    hich cell to edit, but you modify another
    location. When the edit is completed, it is incorporated into the
    display so that it is never lost.

  • Type defined array of clusters for holding configuration data - setting default values for each array element

    Hi,
    I was wondering if I could get some information and opinions about using a type defined array of clusters to hold configuration data.  I am creating a program to test multiple DUTs and wanted to have a type defined control for each DUT containing the information needed to create the DAQmx tasks for all of the signals for that DUT.  I am wanting to do this so that the data is hard-coded and not in a file that the user could mess up.
    The type def controls are then put in a subVI that chooses the appropriate one based on the DUT Type enumeration wired to a case structure.  
    I am having problems with the type defined control.  I am seeing issues when attempting to save a unique configuration to each array element in the array of clusters.  Somehow it worked to begin with, but now clicking "Data Operations --> Make Current value default" on individual elements of the cluster or the entire cluster (array element) is not saving the data when I re-open the type def control.  What am I doing wrong?  Am I trying to do something with arrays of clusters that I should not be doing?
    I have attached one of the type defined controls for reference.  I tried changing it to Strict to see if that helped, but no luck.
    To reproduce, change the resource string for array element 0 and make the new value the default value.  Then close the type def, and re-open it.  The old value is still present in that element.  The VI is saved in LabVIEW 2012.
    Solved!

    Values of a typedef are not proprigated to instances of the control. THey will pick it up if created AFTER the data values have been changed. THey will not get updated with future changes. You should either create a VI specifically for hardcoding your values or implement a file based initialization. The file based would be much better and more flexible. If you don't want users to modify the data simply encrypt it. There is a noce blowfish library you can download.

  • Can't Set Item Value After Calling Stored Procedure

    In a forms6i program unit, I call a stored procedure. The stored procedure executes successfully. Then I set the value of a date item on a data block to sysdate.
    When I run the form and execute the program unit the stored procedure executes successfully, but then the program unit gives me a No Data Found error when I set the value of the date item on the block. The value of the date item never changes. However, if I comment out the call to the stored procedure, the date item changes to sysdate and there is no error message generated.
    Just to be sure, I moved the logic to set the date item value to a separate button on the form. Then I re-ran the program unit. The stored procedure executed successfully. Then I clicked the button to set the value of the date field on the block, which gave me the same no data found error.
    Then I commented out the call in the program unit and re-ran the test. The program unit executed. Then I clicked the button to set the date value in the block and it was set to sysdate with no errors.
    Why can I not set the date item after running a stored procedure?

    Rings.jpg ‏270 KB

    I'm trying to do something very similar to your example but populate the comboboxes (or Rings) programmatically.    What you have is so, so close but it seems to require input from the mouse to get the correct control.    I don't really understand why you can change the String[] parameter in your program and it works fine but mine changes all the elements throughout the array.    The Refnum for the control does not change regardless of what cell is selected.   So, I'm a little puzzled how the correct cell or element is updated with the new combobox string.   
    Ultimately, I want to have an array of variables with an associated combobox (ring) of options.     So, for variable Temperature, the options are Cold, Cool, Warm, and Hot.   Then, variable 2 is Pressure, which might be Low, Medium and High.    Yes, this is for a fuzzy logic controller (not part of the NI Controls Toolkit).
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

  • How to get the values of an Array using JSP Tags

    Hey guys,
    I need some help. I've splited a String using
    fn:split(String, delim) where String = "1,2,3,4" and delim is ,
    This method returns an Array of splited Strings. how do i get the values from this array using jsp tags. I don't wanna put java code to achive that.
    Any help would be highly appreciated
    Thanks

    The JSTL forEach tag.
    In fact if all you want to do is iterate over the comma separated list, the forEach tag supports that without having to use the split function.
    <c:set var="list" value="1,2,3,4"/>
    <c:forEach var="num" items="${list}">
      <c:out value="${num}"/>
    </c:forEach>The c:forTokens method will let you do this with delimiters other than a comma, but the forEach tag works well just with the comma-delimited string.

  • How do I remove NaN values from an array?

    I'm trying to test if the values in an array are less than 0.001. All of them are...BUT the problem is that some of the elements in the array are NaN. I'd like to do one of two things:
    1. Remove the NaN elements from the array and set them to zero to make the test work.
    2. Make the test understand that NaN elements are okay.
    The test results in a boolean array of T/F values. If all of the values of the boolean array are T, it will result in a single boolean value of T. In #2, I am saying that I want it to test if an element of the array is less than 0.001 OR equal to NAN.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Your statements don't make much sense. It's irrelevant how many NaNs are in the array. A sort will move them all to the bottom. You had said you wanted to find out if all the elements in an array are less than 0.001, and that you've got some NaNs in there. Well, this will do that:

     I did see how to remove NaN once, but couldn't determine a good way to generalize it other than doing a test loop. I thought there might have been a simple function that I overlooked to do this.
    As I noted, there have been several posts in the past about efficient techniques for removing certain elements out of an array. Seek, and ye shall find.
    Joseph Loo wrote:

  • How do I set the value of a dynamic row text field

    I have a repeated row form which contains a button and multiple text fields.  There is a text field (Input Data Field) further up with some information I want to place in the table and multiple buttons that I want to read the value of and set to the table.  I apologize there are multiple questions I have and I am using pseudocode to describe it.
    Top form looks like
    InputField
    | ButtonX1 | ButtonY1 | DescriptionX1 (read only Text Field)
    | ButtonXn | ButtonY1 | DescriptionXn
    OutputRow looks like
    | ButtonOutput | OutputField1 | OutputField2 | OutputField3 |
    So I would like it to do
    ButtonX1.click
    OutputTable.OutputRow.addInstance(true)  //this works - everything else I have questions on
    OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField1.rawValue = DescriptionX1.rawValue
    Question 1
    How do I address the location in each table to set a value
    Question 2
    How do I get the value of the description field in the same table and row as the button
    I would like to say something to the effect of  OutputTable.OutputRow[??].OutputField1.rawValue = this.parent.DescriptionX
    OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField2 = InputField.rawValue
      Same question as above - how do I specify a dynamic row - is this the proper syntax for getting the value from the input field?
    OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField3 = this.ButtonLabel
    Question 3
      How can I get the value of the button's label to set in the field
      There should be very many of these buttons and buttons will be added - I would prefer to set the value based on the button's label to make the value easier - not requiring changing the code
    Question 4 - unrelated to those above.
    Is it possible to build the first table
    | ButtonX | ButtonY | Description |
    from an XML File.  I have seen examples of how to build if it is just data, but can the XML be pushed into a form with code to do the above actions?

    Each object in a form must have a unique name. I doing so it is not neccessarily the name but the path or SomExpression associated with that object that must be unique. In your case you have a Table.Row.object configuration. The Row is the part that is repeating so to give each object a unique name an instance number is placed on the repeating part. So objects in the 1st row woudl be Table.Row[0].object...objects in the second row woudl be Table.Row[1].object etc .....You can see this by adding a debug instruction on the Enter event of the description field. Put the code app.alert(this.somExpression) and when you enter the field you will see what the somExpression is. Do this for a few rows and you will see the pattern (don't forget to remove the debug code from the enter event). Now you know what you have to use to address the fields. If no instance is given it is assumed to be 0 ..that is why only the 1st row is being affected.
    So now to answer your questions:
    Question1: The square bracket notation is an issue for javascript (this is the notation for an array) so we have to use a different means of addressing the field to include the instance number. So to address the Description in the 3rd row we woudl use:
    xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[2].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
    Note that the instance number is 2 for the 3rd row because the instance numbers are 0 based.
    Question2. The resolveNode notation allows you to pass a string so you can also concatinate expressions to make the string. If you are writing code on a button in the same row you can get the instance that you are on by using the expression this.parent.index. The "this" portion refers to the current object (the button) and the parent.index gets you th eindex of the Buttons parent. If the button is embedded deeper in a hierarchy then you can continue to add parent indicators until you get back to the node that you want. So rewriting your expression from Q1 it woudl be:
    xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[" + this.parent.index + "].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
    Question3: The buttons caption can be retrieved by using ButtonName.caption.value.text.value
    Question4: When you say build from an XML file. What are you expecting to come from the XML file? The caption that goes on the button? Typically the XML file carries data (not to say that it cannot carry other things). Just need a bit of clarification on this one first.
    Hope that helps

  • How to set multiple values in one context-attribute

    Hi all,
    Anybody knows a possibility to set multiple Values to a context-attribute?
    I know it how to get it with the following code:
    String break[]= request.getParameterValues("break");
    Now I want to do something like:
    request.setParameterValues(break[no]);
    where no is a counter in a loop.
    With the Method setAttribute(), I overwrite the previous inserted value.
    Thanx
    Robert

    I have not explizit declared break as an array.
    It is the Context- Attribute I want to send. I thaught that I can use it as an array in the same way I can do it when I send Data from an HTML- Form (with multiple values) to an servlet.
    I don't know how to declare the Attribute explizit as an array.
    that it is you wanted to know?
    I think my main problem is to get an array from the servlet to the jsp. Is there an other possibility (other than via Context-Attributes) to do that?
    thanx
