Accessing coordinates within each curve of SVG - qt

I am using Qt framework to develop a desktop application. I want to load, do some modification and save. So I basically need to access some coordinates within each curve (i.e. control points for Bezier curves, or just even vertices of polylines). I thought of using SVG format, loading it with QtSvg. Now the question is, after I load SVG (with QGraphicsSvgItem?), how can I look into it, i.e. access separate elements and their coordinates?
Thanks!

But could not find a class that allows me to do manipulation to an existing SVG image. So may I know is it possible to do manipulation directly in Qt?
It is not possible to edit with QtSvg. It is only for reading.
That is also the reason why the Calligra project had their own way of doing this. There is some SVG support available with webkit, and that may be able to manipulate, but that may also be an overkill for your project.

Automata Simulator using Cytoscape JS

I am currently doing a research work which involves the development of a web-based simulator for Automata.
I came across Cytoscape JS as a primary component in building our proposed simulator. I would like to ask if there some way that we can customize the appearance of the nodes in Cytoscape?
In our Automata simulator that we are working on, we intend to use the standard symbols (see image) and place a string value inside the node.
Standard State Symbols in Automata
I was wondering of what would be the proper implementation of the the node and in what way can we change (customize) the appearance of the nodes?
I hope somebody knowledgeable in Cytoscape js can advise.
Use the stylesheet : http://js.cytoscape.org/#style
Use the background properties to alter the background of the node. For example, you can use a custom SVG image.
It's up to you how you do it. There are many properties you can configure, or you could go full custom and just use your own SVG images in place of the built-in shapes and styles.

Multi-Layered SWF with dynamic animation

I'm new to Flash and I trying to do something as following:
I need the ability run several layers of animation (image sequences) in a single file (ex. SWF) which will be loaded and accessed dynamically by Flex - I need to change the content (image sequence) in runtime in order to customize my animation.
What would be the best approach in this case?
Is it the correct direction?
Should I consider creating a SWF for each animation and load it dynamically into my layered SWF?
When you say you need to adjust the image sequence, do you mean customise the order of individual frames, or simply select between a selection of set sequences?
If it's the former, the answer will be a bit more in-depth, if it's the latter and there aren't too many you're probably best off exporting as SWFs, or even as a video file to compress them, then loading them in dynamically. If they're small enough not to add significant weight to your SWF, you could export them as MovieClips in a SWC and create instances of them directly in the code without having to load them in.
Hope this helps (sorry if any of the above is confusing!) - could you give a bit more detail on what you're trying to achieve?

How to add pop-out annotations in Graphviz?

I am a newbie learning to use graphviz.
Is it possible to generate interactive pop-out annotations when you move cursor around the graph? For example, hovering a node/edge will pop-out message box showing more information about it.
And if so, how?
Thank you so much for the help.
Depending on the output format, there are some possibilities:
You may create a png image and an image map and serve it as a html page. The world of html and javascript offers endless possibilities to make this interactive, use popout messages, etc.
If you prefer svg, some information is already included in the output as <title>, and again, if served within a browser, javascript may prove useful to enrich the output (not sure if it's possible to use existing svg with raphaeljs, but it sure shows nicely what's possible with svg + javascript).
You may simply have graphviz render the positions of all nodes and parse it's output to present it in your custom application

Combining images in ASP.Net MVC Application?

We need to create a single jpg image from a range of existing jpgs. The user can select a range of parts in the front end of our application using JQuery. We then need to take all the parts and flatten them to create a single image.
All the parts will exist in an image directory. For example part 1 is the base image which all other parts are overlaid on. We then may choose part 8 - will will always appear at a certain point on top of the base image. We may then choose part 15 which will also appear at a certain point. Other than the base image no part can ever intersect with any other part.
Any advice on how to achieve this? Any good Nuget packages etc that could help
Thanks
Graeme
It's all there for you in the System.Drawing namespace.
Start by creating a Bitmap to draw into. Create a Graphics object from that Bitmap.
Load each of your images. Then use DrawImage to draw each one onto the target. Finish with the Save method.

I need to design usa interactive Map in flex

i need of simple UsA map in flex ,all Area need to be click able as button .
Is there any tool available for designing buttons in various shape in flex or any build in free map is available in flex.
As vector format so that zoom in will not affect the quality.
i need to design like as shown in this site
http://www.futurevision.com.ua/products/usa_flash_map.php
This is the Degrafa Map Demo. It is still in the samples section so perhaps the site was down at the time.
data viz sample page here:: http://www.degrafa.org/samples/data-visualization.html
Load the "Map Dashboard" sample and Right click/View source to get at the code.
Cheers
Jason.
I posted a similar question a while ago but needed more customization.
I used SVG path data in Degrafa to create custom maps of the world, continents, USA.. for a customer. Degrafa used to have a nice US map demo (with source code) as part of its samples, but it disappeared from the web. I don't know of any tool that would help to design clickable Flex shapes. I have no doubt though that Degrafa will provide more support and tools for converting and using SVG.
Some products I found: ilog, ArcGis
And also found this open-source library : GeoVis (birdeye)
But it's very unstable and haven't seen many changes recently.
I'll do that (or, I'll have a designer to do that) in illustrator, and then import the vector format in flex, with the [Embed] metadata.
I don't know if it is a downside for you (for me is a plus), but in this way you have to do everything in code, not with the FlexBuilder UI.
