Am currently working on a uwp project which involves using a carousel that has some sort of grid of pictures that can be swiped by clicking some round navigation buttons. This is also similar to the carousel in Twitter bootstrap. To get a better picture of this, an example is shown below
Rather than different apps on display, different pictures from the user library would be shown. I would like to dynamically display the first 100 pictures from the user's library. I have searched the internet for something similar to this, but the closest I can get is http://blogs.u2u.be/diederik/post/2015/08/23/A-CoverFlow-control-for-the-Universal-Windows-Platform.aspx.
How can I achieve this?
Have you taken a look at the FlipView class?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/br242678
Or the CaouselPanel class?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh967950
and implemented them with a different data template (perhaps a styled gridview) instead of strictly images?
This is the flipview page from the windows dev center:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/controls-and-patterns/flipview
It should explain the basics of how the itemcontrol works.
Have a look at FlipView. I hope that is what you are looking for.
I'm working with nokia HERE maps and I want to add an additional layer of visualization graphics on top of a map. Since the possibilities to interact, manipulate and customize the graphics created by the HERE api are limited, I would like to work with d3.js/SVG for my visualizations.
My straight forward and obvious solution would have been to just add an absolute positioned SVG element on top of the map and giving it the same dimensions. But of course that takes every possibility to interact with the map. Is there any solution to add an overlay to the map which allows me to put SVG on it while maintaining the full interactivity (panning, zooming, clicking) of the map? Also it should be possible to interact with the SVG.
I know that there is a possibility to add a custom overlay of tiles provided by a tile server to HERE maps but that's not really what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something like the solution google has to offer to this problem. A set of custom layers which are always in sync with the corresponding map and have their own initialize, draw and remove methods. Is there something similar for HERE maps?
I think you are after the nokia.maps.map.provider.CanvasProvider class. This class provides a ground overlay bound to a specific area which offers a draw() method. The attach() method is the equivalent of your intialize I think, and you can refresh the overlay using update().
Depending upon your use case, I've also found the following techniques useful regarding SVG, Images and HERE Maps:
For an SVG marker which is anchored to a point and doesn't resize
use: SVG Markers
Alternatively override the Marker class and write using the low
level graphics commands to add flexibility to the rendering of a
marker anchored to a point. Like this: Defaced Marker
To add an image bound to a specific area use the ImageProvider class
To add a series of tiled images from a TMS (Tile Map Service) use the ImgTileProvider class
Alternatively if the [zoom][col][row] is useful to you and you
want to write SVG based stuff yourself try something like this example - which combines
SVG with 256x256 pixel markers.
Note that the HERE Maps API for JavaScript only supports SVG Tiny.
A class like the old nokia.maps.map.provider.CanvasProvider isn't even available on the new v3 API from Here.
Your best bet is on Leaflet using custom providers loading Here map tiles. Then you just load this Custom Overlay class and you're all set to draw D3, WebGL, whatever you need. Leaflet only loads the tiles from the providers and exposes some simple APIs. You will not have to deal with any of the providers' APIs.
Just don't forget to add your app_id and app_code to the provider class.
I have developed an LWUIT app. I have two types of images dispayed in the app. One coming from server side that need to displayed (like a photo posted and saved to server side) and one packaged in my jar and displayed mainly as icons (like a music icon, loading animation gif etc). I need to display all images according to the sreen size and resolution. The first kind is displayed by taking the screen display height and width and then use scale method and show a scaled version of the image. But however I have no idea how to show the second kind. i.e. icons. Example, my loading image looks good in most of the phones but for some phones like samsung, it looks blurred and over-sized. How to do this. My basic idea is to keep 3 types of images of icons like icon_width_lowXheight_low.png, icon_width_mediumXheight_medium.png and image_width_highXheight_high.png and show it based on the screen size. Please let me know the bets way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Parvathy
You should use MultiImages which were added in LWUIT 1.5. I don't have a link for this in LWUIT but our work in Codename One is pretty close to this so check out the How Do I? on multi images (and I suggest migration to Codename One regardless).
I think that you will need to use this
Image i = Image.createImage("your image path here");
i = i.scaled(widthValue, heightValue);
And put this values in relation to the Display.getInstance().getDisplayHeight() and Display.getInstance().getDisplayWidth()
Right?
When designing and previewing a report in BIDS everything looks fine, but once rendered in a web browser the text boxes resize. I've tried a few things to stop this including using rectangles as place holders. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
Here are some screenshots. First design view:
Render view:
In my experience, SSRS is not a very good tool for precise rendering. I've had the issue describe in various forms before, and can only offer a few options:
Don't care. Design your report in a way that it doesn't matter how it's exactly rendered.
Focus on one renderer. Don't optimize for both the BIDS Preview and the HTML rendering, but only on the final one (probably HTML). Note that with HTML you do have to deal with cross-browswer issues.
Use tables for layout. I know, this is frowned upon in CSS land, and I personally don't like it either. But a matrix may be your best bet at approaching pixel-perfectness, and from your screenshot it even looks like you have tabular data so it's even possible to rationalize the choice.
Choose another renderer. Deliver your report in Excel instead of HTML. With Excel it should be easier to get to a nicely layouted table.
I am trying to create an interactive map where users can click on different provinces in the map to get info specific to that province.

So far I've only found solutions that have limited functionality. I've only really searched for this using an SVG file, but I would be open to other file types if it is possible.
If anyone knows of a fully functioning way to do this (jQuery plug-in, PHP script, vector images) or a tutorial on how to do it manually please do share.
jQuery plugin for decorating image maps (highlights, select areas, tooltips):
http://www.outsharked.com/imagemapster/
Disclosure: I wrote it.
Sounds like you want a simple imagemap, I'd recommend to not make it more complex than it needs to be. Here's an article on how to improve imagemaps with svg. It's very easy to do clickable regions in svg itself, just add some <a> elements around the shapes you want to have clickable.
A couple of options if you need something more advanced:
http://jqvmap.com/
http://jvectormap.com/
http://polymaps.org/
I think it's better to divide my answer to 2 parts:
A-Create everything from scratch (using SVG, JavaScript, and HTML5):
Create a new HTML5 page
Create a new SVG file, each clickable area (province) should be a separate SVG Polygon in your SVG file,
(I'm using Adobe Illustrator for creating SVG files but you can find many alternative software products too, for example Inkscape)
Add mouseover and click events to your polygons one by one
<polygon points="200,10 250,190 160,210" style="fill:lime;stroke:purple;stroke-width:1"
onmouseover="mouseOverHandler(evt)"
onclick="clickHandler(evt)" />
Add a handler for each event in your JavaScript code and add your desired code to the handler
function mouseOverHandler(evt) {};
function clickHandler(evt) {};
Add the SVG file to your HTML page (I prefer inline SVG but you can use linked SVG file too)
Upload the files to your server
B-Use a software like FLDraw Interactive Image Creator (only if you have a map image and want to make it interactive):
Create an empty project and choose your map image as your base image when creating the new project
Add a Polygon element (from the Shape menu) for each province
For each polygon double click it to open the Properties window where you can choose an event type for mouse-over and click,
also change the shape opacity to 0 to make it invisible
Save your project and Publish it to HTML5, FLDraw will create a new folder that contains all of the required files for your project that you can upload to your server.
Option (A) is very good if you are programmer or you have someone to create the required code and SVG file for you,
Option (B) is good if you don't want to hire someone or spend your own time for creating everything from scratch
You have some other options too, for example using HTML5 Canvas instead of SVG, but it's not very easy to create a Zoomable map using HTML5 Canvas,
maybe there are some other ways too that I'm not aware of.
Just in case anyone will search for it - I used it on several sites, always the customization and RD possibilities were a perfect fit for what I needed. Simple and it is free to use:
Clickable CSS Maps
One note for more scripts on a site: I had some annoying problems with getting to work a map (that worked as a graphic menu) in Drupal 7. There where many other script used, and after handling them, I got stuck with the map - it still didn't work, although the jquery.cssmap.js, CSS (both local) and the script in the where in the right place. Firebug showed me an error and I suddenly eureka - a simple oversight, I left the script code as it was in the example and there was a conflict. Just change the front function "$" to "jQuery" (or other handler) and it works perfect. :]
Here's what I ment (of course you can put it before instead of the ):
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
$('#map-country').cssMap({'size' : 810});
});
</script>
Go to SVG to Script
with your SVG the default output is the map in SVG
Code which adds events is also added but is easily identified and can be altered as required.
I have been using makeaclickablemap for my province maps for some time now and it turned out to be a really good fit.
I had the same requirements and finally this Map converter worked for me. It is the best plugin for any map generation.
Here is another image map plugin I wrote to enhance image maps: https://github.com/gestixi/pictarea
It makes it easy to highlight all the area and let you specify different styles depending on the state of the zone: normal, hover, active, disable.
You can also specify how many zones can be selected at the same time.
The following code may help you:
$("#svgEuropa [id='stallwanger.it.dev_shape_DEU']").on("click",function(){
alert($(this).attr("id"));
});
Source
You have quite a few options for this:
1 - If you can find an SVG file for the map you want, you can use something like RaphaelJS or SnapSVG to add click listeners for your states/regions, this solution is the most customizable...
2 - You can use dedicated tools such as clickablemapbuilder (free) or makeaclickablemap (i think free also).
