Finding All Points Inside A Polygon?
Feb 9, 2011I'm making a game for a school project We've created a character that moves around the screen and creates blocks behind him as he moves around.We want to make it so that when the character moves from one edge of the screen to another, it fills the screen. So in order to do this we have a Points array that stores every point the character touches on his way to a wall.We then fill the Points array with "formsurface.fillPolygon(Points)"Now I'm wondering is there anyway we can retrieve all the points that are WITHIN or INSIDE the Points array we made? ( remember the points array simply contains the outline or the path the character created, we're filling inside that outline)
View 1 RepliesFinding The Heading (NSEW) Given Two Points?
Feb 29, 2012A 2D object has an x/y location, x/y direction, and a velocity.During each update, its location = (location + (direction * velocity)).
This enables it to travel in any and all directions at varying speeds.Using this information, how would you find the angle (in degrees, from 0 to 360) between it's current location, and it's next location, and then use that to determine it's heading (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, or SW)?
[Abandoned] Finding Closest Points?
Jan 17, 2010Imagine a grid of 16x16. All points are integers, there will be no partial points.I have a list of points that fall somewhere on that grid. Since each point is has an integer x,y coordinate, there can be a maximum of 256 points, but normally there will be considerably less than that.What I am trying to do is take a new point N and find the closest point to it in my list of points. The brute force approach is to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the absolute distance from each point on the list to N, and the minimum of all those distances would give me the closest point. However, since there could easily be 100 points, or so, and there is a real advantage to speed in this case, I am looking for a faster way to do this.
The first thing I thought of would be to divide the grid into four quadrants of 8x8. I could then quickly determine which quadrant N was in, and I was able to pre-compute which quadrant each of the points on the list was in. Therefore, I could easily narrow the search down to the points in the same quadrant as N, but that is invalid. If N lies near the boundary of a quadrant, the closest point might not actually be in the same quadrant as N.So what I am looking for is a way to search a list of X,Y points to quickly find the point closest to some other point N. The fact that the search area is 16x16 might help. A certain amount of pre-computation can be done on the points in the list if it helps, but N can fall anywhere in the grid.

VS 2008 Calculate Points On Line?
Feb 23, 2012Using the attached code, the goal is to draw a series of 1x1 rectangles to produce an image of a line. The image begins okay at point (0,0) but ends up after 5600 passes through the loop at (1884,5273) instead of at (1965, 5244). To prove the scale factor accurate I also use Drawline to draw the entire line with the same scale factor. Drawline ends up at the correct location (1965,5244).
I've manually checked the calculations with the results as noted. I'm at a total loss to understand what's going on.
' Xc = 1965
' Xp = 0
' Yc = 5244

VS 2008 How To Calc Curve Points
Jul 26, 2010The picture is a graphicspath drawing a curve through the specified green dots... the red points are the Bezier points that are auto generated by the graphics path.
Basically I want to pass in an array of points (in this case the green dots in the pic) and get an array back of the Bezier (red points) - I want to calculate the location of these points MANUALLY - and not use the graphicspath object to work it out.
It doesn't have to be exactly the same just similar.

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 : Microsecond Timer To Plot Points On Line?
Feb 27, 2012A couple of options seem to be available to achieve better accuracy and shorter periods than the Timer control in VB allows, however they too seem to have their own unique drawbacks. I am trying to plot (draw) points that are calculated in my VB application and then represent them in real time with an accuracy of a couple percent. If VB can calculate the points in the microsecond time range, would it be reasonable to hang an external pulse source on a usb port and use the "Datachanged" event to count the pulses that will be summed and used to plot the points?Ultimately, this is a machine control application that requires "reasonably precise" timing - ie. CNC type control. The points are scaled and drawn and then step and direction signals are sent out through another USB port.

VS 2008 CR Not Finding Datafile?
May 14, 2010I have a problem that I�m sure will not be hard to fix for anyone who has been using CR for some time.
To start I have created a program in VB2008 that uses a MS Access data file, I can connect to it with no problem and can also add data and amend data, so all seems to work perfectly. I have published it and it once again runs perfectly on another/s machines.I have now a requirement for a number of reports so have chosen CR for this purpose. I have connected the report to the database and that runs with no problems at all, that is until I try to run it on another machine, it seems not to be able to find the database and comes up with a database Login panel wanting me to log in with a password and Admin name.
I feel it's properly a problem with the path to the database but if I modify the path manually it still won't work.

View 35 RepliesVS 2008 Finding A Memory Leak?
Jan 1, 2010I'm trying to work out a bit of a memory leak and was hoping someone can assist. The below program is running fine except for one thing. 1. The memory leak. When I run the program and watch task manager, I can see the memory usage of the program starts at roughly 14 meg. Over a period of hours, that increases pretty substantially. Eg. at 6am this morning, it was at 14 meg, and by 3pm it was at 36 meg.In a nutshell this program takes an incoming stream of data which looks like this.
MSG,3,51,350,461D3B,1427,2007/02/24,10:58:35.441,2007/02/24,11:03:35.829,,33975,,,53.82440,10.19830,,,0,0,0,0
MSG,3,51,673,44CE6D,1429,2007/02/24,10:58:35.098,2007/02/24,11:03:35.829,,39000,,,53.87798,9.88422,,,0,0,0,0
MSG,3,51,350,461D3B,1427,2007/02/24,10:58:35.848,2007/02/24,11:03:36.829,,33975,,,53.82353,10.19696,,,0,0,0,0
It basically parses the stream and places items into hash tables depending on the type of data. Eg. I have a hash table for latitude, one for longitude, one for altitude, etc.The key is always the hex code eg. in the first line above the key would be 461D3B.Essentially, as the data arrives in and is parsed and placed into hash tables depending on the type of data, I also have another hash table dedicated to keeping track of timeout times for that individual piece of data. The timer event fires and if the timeout is exceeded for that piece of data then it gets removed from all the hash tables.
I believe this is working. I've done heaps of debug output to the output window ensuring that items are being added to and removed from the hash tables successfully. Eg. ensuring that the hash table record count matches what I believe the number of active records should be.I'm at a loss what could be causing this memory leak though. I'm assuming i'm not disposing of an object properly, or not initializing/declaring it properly, but I can't work out what i'm doing wrong.One thing i'll mention though. The timer event occasionally comes up with a warning about the contents having changed during the For..Next loop. I don't think this will affect things though. As long as the hash table item count matches what it should be, I don't see that being an issue.
