• Windows Forms Draw a set of lines to a Bitmap

  Hi Suppose you have a set of lines: (20; 20) - ( 20,30) ( 2; 45) - (342,40) (20; 20) - ( 20,33) ( 0;240) - (-60,65) To draw this, you have to translate the points to the origin. I do this by calculating the bounding rectangle, rec . The result is: (80; 0) - ( 80,10) (62; 25) - (402,20) (80; 0) - ( 80,13) (60;220) - ( 0,45) I now want to draw these lines to a Bitmap with a given resolution and line thickness. Hi again Another part of the team Im working with, work with drawings. These are in 600x600 dpi. My image-output they use as an "overlap"-image (to verify that their drawing is correct), and thus needs to be in the same resolution. That's why I need this resolution. Kind regards ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No templates? help please

  Hi! I'm extremely new to this, and have little to no experience in these type of things. I installed Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition and registered it. I installed Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express. I installed Microsoft DirectX SDK October. Everything seems fine.... I tried to follow a tutorial on XNASpot.com. Everytime I click "New Project", I get an error. "No Visual Studio template found. See the application log in the Event Viewer for more details." Then, a blank window labeled "New Project" opens, and reads Templates: There is nothing here, no templates to select from. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing....I cannot figure it out.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. When to stop a Quaternion.Slerp?

  What methods exist to tell when to stop performing a Quaternion.Slerp When does the slerped quaternion match the desired quaternion close enough I can try a brute force method and compare individual parameters (X, Y, Z, W) but I'm wondering of there is another way. Thanks. I don't know how you are storing position or orientations. But lets say you have the forward vector of ship A and the foward vector of ship B, and lets say both vectors are normalized already, then you could find the axis and angle to rotate A to B by: angle = acos(A dot B) axis = norm(A cross B) rot = new quaternion(axis,angle) multiply ship orientation by slerp (indentity, rot, step) It's late at night and ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows SDK Integration with VS 2005 -- now on Vista 5600

  I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have Visual Studio 2005 installed and running. I am able to compile most of the WPF samples (that I've tried) like WPFSamples/Demos/15Puzzle, CubeAnimation, etc. This is all running on Windows Vista build 5536. Now I would like to create my own xbap projects. So I download the Windows SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=117ecfd3-98ad-4d67-87d2-e95a8407fa86&DisplayLang=en which specifically says that it works with build 5536 (and 5600) and installed it. Items show up in the Windows start menu. But no new project types show up in Visual Studio 2005.

• SQL Server Creating a report from analysis server: Report Execution Error

  It seems like a simple enough task: I have an analysis server cube with a transactional table which, of many fields, stores a datetime field called DateAdded. If I go into Report Manager and create a new column report and drag DateAdded over, it shows all date added results in the recordset. If I right-click on the field value in Design Report view and change the expression to state: DATEONLY(DateAdded) (I want to just get the dates from the recordset grouped together) I get a dialog box stating: Report Execution Error The report might not be valid or the server could not process the data. A grouping expression must be either a scalar field or an entity. ---------------------------- Semantic query execution fa ...Show All
