I'm new to the google cardboard sdk. I need to draw a slightly different image for the left eye as compared to the right(I know distortion correction is taken care of). I saw the "Eye" class spec (an instance of which is passed to OnDrawEye()) from the docs.It does not seem to contain info of which eye is being referred to. How do I tell if the image is being rendered for the right or left eye and code accordingly?
In the class where you implements the CardboardView.StereoRenderer you have to define the function onDrawEye(), int this function you receive a parameter of type Eye, from that parameter you can know what eye is rendering at the moment with the function getType(). You can check the eye with the constants defined in Eye.Type

I'm developing this collision detector simulator with a static and a kinematic 3D body in it.
The idea for now is to make the kinematic body move via keyboard and to trigger an alarm everytime it collides with the static object.
So far so good. The difficulty stems from the fact that I want this two bodies to be loadable from file system (OBJ files).
The static body works like a charm. I load the OBJ as a mesh, delete previous collider and generate the new one with create_trimesh_collision(). Just perfect.
The problem comes with the kinematic body.
First af all, I know that trimesh is not supported for kinematic bodies (please correct me if I'm wrong or you know a workaround), so I use the in editor "mesh" button and select "Create single/multiple convex collision siblings" and it just works fine (the multiple option creates quite precise colliders actually).
But if I do that from GDScript using create_convex_collision():
First, I was quite dissapointed to see that the convex collider created is a simple one (a pity after seeing the good results the "multiple" option gets and reading some posts about this feateure incorporation).
But what surprised me the most is that after generating this new collider it doesn't collide with the static collider anymore. It just passes through it.
Any ideas on this? Workarounds? Tips? Maybe the kinematic body should be static too? And move it procedurally somehow? Maybe my approach is not the correct one?
Thanks!!
I want to have a custom MKOverlay that's a circle anchored to the user location annotation that the user can resize by pinching. I was able to successfully achieve this using MKOverlayPathRenderer and a custom MKOverlay object by overriding the createPath method and making an arc. The resizing and moving of the overlay was handled by using KVO on the radius and coordinate properties of my overlay. However the resizing was incredibly choppy and the boundingMapRect wasn't correctly calculated.
I've also tried using an image and instead of subclassing MKOverlayPathRenderer just MKOverlayRenderer, overriding - (void)drawMapRect:(MKMapRect)mapRect zoomScale:(MKZoomScale)zoomScale inContext:(CGContextRef)context but when I resize my CPU percentage jumps to 160% usage (not great yeah?) and the boundingRect is again being drawn incorrectly.
I really think the way to do it is with MKOverlayPathRenderer and maybe having an atomic counter of some kind so that a redraw only gets called say every 5 or 10 times the pinch gesture is triggered.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've also considered but haven't tried making a UIView and adding it as a subview to the map view and putting the pinch gesture on that but that seems hacky and dirty.
When you computed new boundingMapRect on the Overlay, you must invoke invalidatePath on your Renderer. After that, system will invoke createPath for you when appropriate.
I've a layer with multiple markers with rather big icons, so they overlap. Via the list on the side of the map users can select a marker and the map will pan (and zoom) to it. But it will still be behind some other makers.
How do I get a individual makers z-index and set it? I would be useful to get the highest used z-index and just add one. (another solution is to add the total number of markers to the z-index)
The markers (or features) are in a myLib.features array. The console doesn't show any z-index type functions.
I can't find a appropriate example or api function for this.
EDIT:
I found this example: http://dev.openlayers.org/examples/ordering.html
I don't really understand it. Somehow the created feature takes the next z-index given by the layer via somekind of symbolizer. I have no idea how to work this static sort into a dynamic one.
Try this:
First of all, make sure you are using a OpenLayers.Layer.Vector layer, not a OpenLayers.Layer.Markers layer. Apparently the Markers layer is old news and all new development is done in the Vector layer. It has more features. (I wasted a pile of time with the Markers layer myself).
Then, each of your markers needs to be a OpenLayers.Feature.Vector object. The constructor takes three arguments, the third of which is called the style. The style is where you set your image attributes, the background shadow, the mouse-over text, and the z-index, which has the property name "graphicZIndex". I think that's what you're looking for.
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Feature/Vector-js.html#OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.style
Add your "markers" (which are Vector's) to your Vector layer with the addFeatures function. And just ignore the "options" argument.
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Vector-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.Vector.addFeatures
I found that example page too, and I found it confusing too. It was setting all the markers' styles in the Vector layer's constructor (as default values to be used if the marker style was omitted) instead of the marker's constructor. I think it makes more sense to set the marker style in the marker constructor.
To change the style in real-time, take one of your OpenLayers.Feature.Vector markers, called "marker" and do this. And let's call the Vector Layer "layer".
marker.style.graphicZIndex = 13;
layer.redraw();
I am attempting to rotate an MKMapView using MapKit.
I can display a map and rotate it, however not very efficiently. I create an MKMapView larger than the view and rotate it using CGAffineTransformMakeRotation, so the the grey areas behind the view are not visible. Although I have clip subviews checked in Interface Builder, I still have the feeling this is not the correct implementation.
This method does allow me to rotate any annotations displayed as MKPinAnnotationView conforms to the CGAffineTransformMakeRotation function, but I come into problems when trying to add an overlay to the map.
I can place an overlay on using the boundingMapRect property in the class declaration but the image remains unrotated on the display. Is there a way to achieve this? Or alternatively should I be rotating the MKMapView and annotations in a different method?
Thanks in advance for any advice or information.
Are you rotating the map so that it is facing the same way the user is? (i.e. not just North = Up). If so you don't need to do any transformation stuff at all, just set the MKUserTrackingMode to MKUserTrackingModeFollowWithHeading
I'm using JUNG2 to draw some graphs.
This is the image I get:
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/205/graphvizkk3312164f020b4.png
I'd like to:
1) change the rendering order (labels should be the last objects to be drawn);
2) add a semi-transparent background to the labels.
3) change background color of the whole image.
Any idea on how to do this?
The JUNG2 documentation is not very extensive on these issues.

(1) To do this you'd have to hack the rendering code; I don't believe that we support this at the moment.
UPDATE: I took a closer look. Actually JUNG does support this without hacking the existing libraries; the easiest way is perhaps to subclass BasicRenderer and then override the render() method so that things happen in the order that you want. (I recommend that you render vertices after edges.) Once you do that, you create an instance of your custom Renderer, and call VisualizationViewer.setRenderer(customRenderer).
(2) The labels respect HTML code (i.e., surround your label with <html></html> and then put whatever tags you like in it).
(3) BasicVisualizationServer (and its subclasses, e.g. VisualizationViewer) inherit from JComponent, which defines setBackground(Color).
