Is it possible to have the vtkAxesActor small in a corner of the window?
Here is a image of what I currently got and what I would like to have. The colorful axes are the standard axesActor. But I would like the axes in a corner of the window and only there (bottom left in black). They shouldn't move around the window when the view is rotated. Only around their origin.
Is this possible? And if yes, how?
A possible solution is to put the vtkAxesActor into an orientation widget:
widget = vtk.vtkOrientationMarkerWidget()
widget.SetOrientationMarker(axisActor)
widget.SetInteractor(interactor)
widget.SetViewport(0, 0, size, size)
widget.InteractiveOff()
widget.EnabledOn()
The vtkAxesActor location is functional and it's location has a purpose. The anchor point of the AxesActor is the anchor point of the model. This provides context of where any transformations or translations would be calculated from.
Unfortunately the example of the axisActor in the corner you have proposed would only provide context of the orientation of the model and so not part of the standard options.

To layout a network in cytoscape, the layout appearance is always a square. If I need to arrange the layout with a ellipse or rectangle appearance, I have to move the nodes manually. For exampke, the "yFiles Organic Layout" produces a layout in a round appearance. How can I change the default appearance to rectangle or ellipse?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to do that. It's specific to each layout algorithm how it handles the boundary. There will be a new layout algorithm that allows you to associate nodes to a drawn annotation, but it's not released yet (hopefully very soon).

I'm trying to create slidingup animation in android application to change between two view of layout.
I've tried from this tutorial
but the second screen didn't come like what I want.
I want the second layout to come like a wipe animation, like the following picture at the bottom
Refer this:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/ab51002847ea3dcdc0ba14eb330ab9ec292a9789/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar.java
In the above code, focus on the animateCollapsePanels method
I was able to implement a similar transition by using a clipping Path. Because I didn't want my transition to rule out the use of Layouts in the clipped view, I implemented the clipping at the Layout level following this answer: Custom Layout that rounds the corners of its content
The clipping is no anti-aliased and you would need to do use instead PorterDuff and XferMode based solutions otherwise, but for a linear wipe animation like you're describing, clipping in the layout will achieve what you want. Basically you're doing a linear reveal whereas the accepted answer I linked does a circular clip.
I'm using Raphael to draw rectangles. Whoo-hoo!
Is there a way to right align contents of an SVG file?
Not just text, but shapes as well?
I can do the math and get the computed x value, but I'm looking for the lazy-simple solution.
Thank you.
There isn't. Unlike normal web pages where the window is resized and the content flows into it, when a Raphael paper is resized, there is no sort of flow, so aligning is irrelevant. Instead of setting align=right, you just set the right edge to be the same position you set the width of the paper to be. If you enlarge the paper, you can scale the contents with a single operation. Once you've set the position of the right edge, you've essentially set the align position. You don't need to re-set all edge values when the paper changes size, you just scale everything with one command. Hope that helps
My goal is to create something like the arrow from car that indicates the speed of the car. My problem is that I do not know what is the best practice for moving the green arrow. I have an image arrow.png and I guess I need to manipulate with the place that the picture is shown and with the rotation of the image.
Can someone point to me some guidelines ?
My basic idea is to have a relative layout for the background and to have one image view that will change the position, but the part changing position is little unclear to me. And I do not think that is good idea to play with layout params and margins...
I would probably extend ImageView then override your onDraw method and use canvas.rotate() to rotate the arrow depending on your app state.
I have a multiviewport OpenGL modeler application. It has three different viewports : perspective, front and top. Now I want to paint a label for each viewport and not succeeding in doing it.
What is the best way to print a label for each different perspective?
EDITED : The result
Here is the result of my attempt:
I don't understand why the perspective viewport label got scrambled like that. And, Actually I want to draw it in the upper left corner. How do I accomplished this, because I think it want 3D coordinate... is that right? Here is my code of drawing the label
glColor3f(1,0,0);
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthMask(GL_FALSE);
glRasterPos2f(0,0);
glPushAttrib(GL_LIST_BIT); // Pushes The Display List Bits
glListBase(base - 32); // Sets The Base Character to 32
glCallLists(strlen("Perspective"), GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, "Perspective"); // Draws The Display List Textstrlen(label)
glPopAttrib();
I use the code from here http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=13
thanks
For each viewport switch into a projection that allows you to supply "viewport space" coordinates, disable depth testing (glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST)) and depth writes (glDepthMask(GL_FALSE)) and draw the text using one of the methods used to draw text in OpenGL (texture mapped fonts, rendering the full text into a texture drawing that one, draw glyphs as actual geometry).
Along with #datenwolf's excellent answer, I'd add just one bit of advice: rather than drawing the label in the viewport, it's usually easier (and often looks better) to draw the label just outside the viewport. This avoids the label covering anything in the viewport, and makes it easy to get nice, cleanly anti-aliased text (which you can normally do in OpenGL as well, but it's more difficult).
If you decide you need to draw the text inside the viewport anyway, I'll add just one minor detail to what #datenwolf said: since you generally do want your text anti-aliased (even if the rest of the picture isn't) you generally want to draw the label after all the other geometry of the picture itself. If you haven't turned on anti-aliasing otherwise, you generally will want to turn it on for drawing the text.
