objective c - Distance between two points on circle in specific direction -

-

i have 2 points on circle, (x1y1) , (x2y2). how calculate distance between them in counter , clock wise direction. currently, using following formula calculate distance between 2 points on circle. please suggest.

- (cgfloat)calculatedistancebetween:(cgpoint)point1 point2:(cgpoint)point2 {     cgfloat dx = point2.x - point1.x;     cgfloat dy = point2.y - point1.y;     return sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy ); }

this maths question really. you're looking arc length (which equals angle in radians multiplied radius)

your function stands can't calculate arc length, because doesn't know circle (it takes 3 points define circle).

- (cgfloat)calculateshortestarcdistancebetween:(cgpoint)point1 point2:(cgpoint)point2 center:(cgpoint)center {     cgfloat dx1 = point1.x - center.x;     cgfloat dy1 = point1.y - center.y;     cgfloat dx2 = point2.x - center.x;     cgfloat dy2 = point2.y - center.y;     cgfloat angle1 = atan2f( dy1, dx1 );     cgfloat angle2 = atan2f( dy2, dx2 );     cgfloat angle = angle1 - angle2;     if(      angle >  m_pi ) angle -= m_pi * 2;     else if( angle < -m_pi ) angle += m_pi * 2;     return fabs( angle ) * sqrtf( dx1 * dx1 + dy1 * dy1 ); }  - (cgfloat)calculatedirectedarcdistancebetween:(cgpoint)point1 point2:(cgpoint)point2 center:(cgpoint)center {     cgfloat dx1 = point1.x - center.x;     cgfloat dy1 = point1.y - center.y;     cgfloat dx2 = point2.x - center.x;     cgfloat dy2 = point2.y - center.y;     cgfloat angle1 = atan2f( dy1, dx1 );     cgfloat angle2 = atan2f( dy2, dx2 );     cgfloat angle = angle1 - angle2;     if( angle < 0 ) angle += m_pi * 2;     return angle * sqrtf( dx1 * dx1 + dy1 * dy1 ); }

most of tricky bit making sure ranges correct (atan2 gives values -pi +pi, after getting difference between 2 angles must re-normalise them)

it can in xml or text format. how in general grep block of text in perl? <track type="ws"> <range> <rangestart>0</rangestart> <rangeend>146.912</rangeend> <locationindex>0</locationindex> <propertyindex>0</propertyindex> </range> </track> <track type="ps" id="1"> <range> <rangestart>0</rangestart> <rangeend>146.912</rangeend> <locationindex>1</locationindex> <propertyindex>1</propertyindex> </range> </track> i want grep type="ps" , till </range> . one solution open file, read line line , match block. open(fh, "file.txt"); foreach $line (<fh>) { if ($line =~ m/type="cc"(.*?)<\/range>/) { print $1; } } but there more optimal solution without reading file line l

delphi - How to remove all the grips on a coolbar if I have several coolbands? -

Image
if set mycoolbar.fixedorder true,only grip on first band hidden. well,if use delphi 7 create vcl forms application,then put coolbar on , create 3 coolbans hold other controls,only grip , top coolbands can hidden setting mycoolbar.fixedorder:=true. i've uploaded picture make things clear. you got fixedorder property wrong. fixed property not allow bands rearranged if set true . setting property of coolbar true keep user changing bands order @ runtime, user can still move , resize bands. can give advice can do, actual solution problem, well, have wait answer. my advice use 3 coolbars in row , setting "fixedorder" property true , bandborderstyle bsnone . way grip hidden on of them. about property, it's not bug of ide, actual preference of property.

javascript - Animating array of divs; only the final element is modified -

this baffling me @ moment. i'm experienced programmer looking throw bit of surprise fiancee on countdown page our wedding. desired effect simulated confetti falling behind main page. setup follows: i have array of divs in javascript. each div absolutely positioned on page. have interval set updates every 50 or milliseconds. on each tick, run loop on array of divs, , calculations , update positions. problem problem having, however, though can see divs created, stored array, , modified (in case, each has slight randomized rotation) during initialization phase, once tick update position starts, div stored in whatever last slot of array gets position updated. tried hard-coding each div index testing purposes, strictly last element update position. upon printing current "left" , "top" style values each div before , after calculations shows value has been changed, no visible change noticeable. here's basic code: javascript var container;
