Currently I have a project that is being used to draw rooms with lines and images that can be selected by the user by hitting a button representing what they want to add. I.E. if they want a shower a button for shower is pressed and an image appears in a pane. The shower can be resized and moved in the pane. The user also has the ability to use lines to draw objects or walls. The lines can be resized, rotated, or moved. I am now trying to get these objects to interact with each other. Say a user is using lines to make an object, and when the line comes near another object the line being moved snaps to the other object. I have found a 3rd party library that has SnapLineSnapResult but I don't see anything where someone has used it. Is this something that is desktop JavaFX usable, or is it a touch operation and does anyone have code to model or another solution?
SnapLineSnapResult
My code for line that would be useful if I can use this class is as follows:
line.setOnMouseDragged((MouseEvent event1) -> {
// in resize region
if (isInResizeZoneLine(line, event1)) {
// adjust line
line.setEndX(event1.getX());
}
// in movable region
else {
Point2D currentPointer = new Point2D(event1.getX(), event1.getY());
if (bound.getBoundsInLocal().contains(currentPointer)) {
/*--------*/ // potential place for if (near other object to be snapped)
double lineWidth = line.getEndX() - line.getStartX();
line.setStartY(currentPointer.getY());
line.setEndY(currentPointer.getY());
line.setStartX(currentPointer.getX() - lineWidth/2);
line.setEndX(currentPointer.getX() + lineWidth/2);
}
}
});

I meet two problems, I searched, but they seems not so easy as I think.
I'm working on ubuntu-18.04 with qt-5.15.x. And my two problems are:
cannot restore my window after maximizing it.
cannot move my window out of my screen with mouse dragging
Can not restore
Firstly, I set my window frameless, and then using a button standing for maximize or restoreoperations to trigger maximization or normal
// set fremeless in contruction
setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint | windowFlags());
// maximaization slot or restore
void WindowTitle::onButtonMaxClicked()
{
QWidget *pWin = window();
if(pWin->isMaximized())
{
pWin->showNormal();
}
else
{
pWin->showMaximized();
}
}
What I expected is when I click button ,window will maximized, and that is true indeed. Then clicking on button again, window will return original position and size again, but that doesn't happen, instead, window's height is correct, but its width is equal screen(getting rid of applications docker bar), x-axis value is wrong too. And I have tried setGeometry after I have stored its value, but failed.
Can not move outside
I can make sure that I have set correct position with
void WindowTitle::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
if (m_isPressed)
{
QPoint movePoint = event->globalPos() - m_startMovePos;
QPoint widgetPos = QApplication::activeWindow()->pos();
m_startMovePos = event->globalPos();
QApplication::activeWindow()->move(widgetPos.x() + movePoint.x(), widgetPos.y() + movePoint.y());
}
return QWidget::mouseMoveEvent(event);
}
function, but the result shows something wrong.
I have searched above two questions. But get nothing. And I'm curious that other applications can do just right both restore and move, suchlike Firefox web browser(which I'm typing on). So, there must be some way to make it work.
I'm using ArcRotateCamera, when I click on mesh, I have to focus camera on
var camera = new BABYLON.ArcRotateCamera("Camera", -Math.PI / 2, Math.PI / 2, 300, BABYLON.Vector3.Zero(), scene);
camera.setTarget(BABYLON.Vector3.Zero());
// on mesh click, focus in
var i = 2;
var pickInfo = scene.pick(scene.pointerX, scene.pointerY);
if (pickInfo.hit) {
pickInfo.pickedMesh.actionManager = new BABYLON.ActionManager(scene);
pickInfo.pickedMesh.actionManager.registerAction(
new BABYLON.ExecuteCodeAction(BABYLON.ActionManager.OnPickTrigger,
function (event) {
camera.position = (new BABYLON.Vector3(pickInfo.pickedPoint.x, pickInfo.pickedPoint.y, camera.position.z + i));
i += 2;
})
);
}
this code changes mesh's z position but don't makes it in the center of screen
There are a few things that can be changed in your code.
1st - what you are doing is executing a code action after a click, instead of simply running the code in the callback after a pick has occurred. You are registering a pick action (technically user click) on right on the first frame, but only if the mouse was found in the right location at the right moment. My guess is that it didn't work every time (unless you scene is covered with meshes :-) )
2nd - you are changing the camera's position, instead of change the position to which it is looking. Changing the camera's position won't result in what you want (to see the selected mesh), it will move the camera to a new position while still focusing on the old position.
There are a few ways to solve this. The first is this:
scene.onPointerDown = function(evt, pickInfo) {
if(pickInfo.hit) {
camera.focusOn([pickInfo.pickedMesh], true);
}
}
The ArcRotate camera provides focusOn function that focuses on a group of meshes, while fixing the orientation of the camera. this is very helpful. You can see a demo here:
https://playground.babylonjs.com/#A1210C#51
Another solution would be to use the setTarget function:
https://playground.babylonjs.com/#A1210C#52
Which works a bit differently (notice the orientation change of the camera).
Another thing - use the pointer events integrated in Babylon, as they are saving you the extra call for a scene pick. pointer down is executed with the pickinfo integrated in the function, so you can get the picking info of the current pointer down / up / move each frame.
**** EDIT ****
After a new comment - since you want to animate the values, all you need to do is store the current values, calculate the new ones, and animate the values using the internal animation system (documentation here - https://doc.babylonjs.com/babylon101/animations#basic-animation) . There are many ways to achieve this, I took an old function and modernized it :-)
Here is the demo - https://playground.babylonjs.com/#A1210C#53
I want to have an interactive legend inside my canvas, however I'm having trouble getting it to work. I am using qwt6.1.2 and this version no longer has the option to insert the legend as an "ExternalLegend", but instead has the class qwtPlotLegendItem to handle legends inside the canvas. However when I read the docs I see:
In opposite to QwtLegend the legend item is not interactive.
An external QwtLegend with a transparent background on top the plot
canvas might be another option with a similar effect.
My question is: how do I show an QwtLegend on top of the plot canvas?
In the documentation for QwtPlot I read:
Legends, that are not inserted into the layout of the plot widget need
to connect to the legendDataChanged() signal. Calling updateLegend()
initiates this signal for an initial update.
I have connected the legendDataChanged signal and triggered it by calling updateLegend(), but now I'm stuck on what to do next. Any tips on how to proceed?
Ok I got it to work:
QwtPlot* plot;
// Attach some plots/histograms to the plot.
MyLegend* legend = new MyLegend(plot);
MyLegend ::MyLegend (QwtPlot * pPlot)
: m_pPlot(pPlot)
{
setParent(m_pPlot);
setGeometry(0, 0, 100, 100);
connect(m_pPlot, &QwtPlot::legendDataChanged,
this, &MyLegend ::LegendDataChanged);
m_pPlot->updateLegend();
}
void MyLegend ::LegendDataChanged(const QVariant &itemInfo, const QList< QwtLegendData > &data)
{
updateLegend(itemInfo, data);
}
I have a several chart components that I have created in Flex. Basically I have set up a special UI that allows the user to select which of these charts they want to print. When they press the print button each of the selected charts is created dynamically then added to a container. Then I send this container off to FlexPrintJob.
i.e.
private function prePrint():void
{
var printSelection:Box = new Box();
printSelection.percentHeight = 100;
printSelection.percentWidth = 100;
printSelection.visible = true;
if (this.chkMyChart1.selected)
{
var rptMyChart1:Chart1Panel = new Chart1Panel();
rptMyChart1.percentHeight = 100;
rptMyChart1.percentWidth = 100;
rptMyChart1.visible = true;
printSelection.addChild(rptMyChart1);
}
print(printSelection);
}
private function print(container:Box):void
{
var job:FlexPrintJob;
job = new FlexPrintJob();
if (job.start()) {
job.addObject(container, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
job.send();
}
}
This code works fine if the chart is actually displayed somewhere on the page but adding it dynamically as shown above does not. The print dialog will appear but nothing happens when I press OK.
So I really have two questions:
Is it possible to print flex components/charts when they are not visible on the screen?
If so, how do I do it / what am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:
Well, at least one thing wrong is my use of the percentages in the width and height. Using percentages doesn't really make sense when the Box is not contained in another object. Changing the height and width to fixed values actually allows the printing to progress and solves my initial problem.
printSelection.height = 100;
printSelection.width = 100;
But a new problem arises in that instead of seeing my chart, I see a black box instead. I have previously resolved this issue by setting the background colour of the chart to #FFFFFF but this doesn't seem to be working this time.
UPDATE 2:
I have seen some examples on the adobe site that add the container to the application but don't include it in the layout. This looks like the way to go.
i.e.
printSelection.includeInLayout = false;
addChild(printSelection);
Your component has to be on the stage in order to draw its contents, so you should try something like this:
printSelection.visible = false;
application.addChild(printSelection);
printSelection.width = ..;
printSelection.height = ...;
...
then do the printing
i'm not completely sure, but in one of my application I have to print out a complete Tab Navigator and the only method i have found to print it is to automatically scroll the tabnavigator tab in order to show the component on screen when i add them to the printjob.
In this way they are all printed. Before i created the tabnaviagotr scrolling the print (to PDF) result was a file with all the pages of the tab but only the one visible on screen really printed.
I've been having trouble creating a mechanism to allow the user to select a span of time from a timeline. Basically i want them to be able to click and drag horizontally, and retrieve the start and end positions of that event.
I especially need to include the case where the event goes off the edge of the screen (even if the end position is snapped to the edge of the screen that's fine).
While doing all of this, I want to be able to draw a box that goes from the start of the event to the current position of the mouse, so that it's obvious which area if being selected.
Basically, it doesn't seem to me that you're dragging something. You just have a sequence of press, move and release. You will have to click on something, I bet you could consider the press event on the timeline itself. So it'll be something like:
timeline.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
timeline.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
// the next line just considers that leaving the object surface is the same as depressing the mouse button
timeline.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseUp);
function onMouseDown(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// add the event listener for the mouse move action
timeline.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
// create the movie clip for the box
// you get the mouse coordinates from evt.localX and evt.localY (relative to the origin of the timeline movieclip) or evt.stageX and evt.stageY (as global values)
}
function onMouseMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// adjust the selection width and height
// you get the mouse coordinates from evt.localX and evt.localY (relative to the origin of the timeline movieclip) or evt.stageX and evt.stageY (as global values)
}
function onMouseUp(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// remove the event listener for the mouse move, that means that the function onMouseMove will no longer be called
timeline.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
// brush up and send the final coordinates of the selection to the next function
}
For the selection graphics itself, you can either use an instance of a movie clip from your library, or you could simply create an empty movie clip, make it semitransparent and draw a rectangle in it, like so:
var selection:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
selection.alpha = 0.5;
selection.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
selection.graphics.drawRect(x,y,width,height);
selection.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(selection);
