I need to achieve the following: Two 2D quads appear as though they are stacked one on top of the other (like two halves of the same texture) but are in fact seperated on the z axis by n coordinates. So that if a 3D object passes between them one half appears in front of the object and the other behind. Could i achieve this by applying...
In The Pragmatic Programmer this term is introduced and "linearly independency" is used as an example for orthogonality. How do you explain the same thing to a non-technical person and why independency is a good thing to have? Are there "real-life" (i.e. non-geek) examples for this concept? ...
I've been looking around a bit and can't seem to find just what I"m looking for. I've found "canonical formulas," but what's the best way to use these? Do I have to scale every single vertex down? Or is there a better way? A formula would really help me out, but I'm also looking for an explanation about the near and far z planes relativ...
Hi there, i am currently implementing a simple ray tracer in c++. I have a class named OrthonormalBasis, which generates three orthogonal unit vectors from one or two specified vectors, for example: void OrthonormalBasis::init_from_u ( const Vector& u ) { Vector n(1,0,0); Vector m(0,1,0); u_ = unify(u); v_ = cross(u_,n)...
Good morning, I am reading the "Pragmatic Programmer", I am at the section were they talk about "Orthogonailty" and the approach to take when coding. I was wondering if you can implement the "Orthogonailty" technique with php application development because in the book its mainly about software development ? Do you know of any articl...
Hi I need to work on drawing a hierarchical tree structure (HV-Drawing – Binary Tree) with orthogonal lines(straight rectangular connecting lines) between root and children ( like the following: http://lab.kapit.fr/display/visualizationlayouts/Hierarchical+Tree+layout ). I want to know if there are any open source examples of the algorit...
For example: Cardinality and optionality are orthogonal properties of a relationship. You can specify that a relationship is optional, even if you have specified upper and/or lower bounds. This means that there do not have to be any objects at the destination, but if there are then the number of objects must lie withi...
Hi, I am wondering if Java is orthogonal or not, and if yes, then which are its features that make it orthogonal. How can you determine if a language is orthogonal or not? For example, I found on some website that C++ is not orthogonal, but no explanations, why not. What other languages are orthogonal? Please help me, because there is a...
What would be some orthogonal or non-orthogonal features in Python? Can you give some examples? ...
