This is a difficult question to search in Google since it has other meaning in finance. Of course, what I mean here is "Drawing" as in .. computer graphics.. not money.. I am interested in preventing overdrawing for both 3D Drawing and 2D Drawing. (should I make them into two different questions?) I realize that this might be a very b...
It's common knowledge on SO (see this question) that to run IE6 and IE7 you need a Windows box (or virtual box) with only those apps installed. I doubt this is true (they are the real versions, I think). The two browsers I'm interested in are: Standalone IE6 from the MultipleIEs install Standalone IE7 also from Tredosoft (but publishe...
I have some rendering logic for custom markup (a'la bbcode, but not bbcode). So that when I'm getting the stuff from DB I'm then calling MyRender.ToHTML(model.text)... Now what I do today is I just have a form below and I do a post and add the item and return the same view. My question is - how to do it with ajax? Should I create a con...
It seems that none of these solutions eliminate the lag associated with rendering images onto the screen (whether from .png's or using CG). There is a 28x16 grid of blocks that are each 16x16 pixels, and at some points in the game, about half of them need to change their image because of a state change. Having each block as a subview of...
Game application is written in C++ and uses DirectX 8. I am getting a maximum monitor resolution to calculate it's aspect ratio. Then I use this value to fix game rendering (scale and set clipping to receive normal 4:3 image with black borders on wide screen monitors). How can I check if monitor is using aspect ratio auto adjustment no...
Wondering for benchmarking purposes if there is a DOM event or other way to determine when the browser has finished parsing/rendering the CSS. I'm trying to optimize CSS selectors and need a way to measure the drawing/rendering/reflowing times. Thanks. ...
Context: I'm just starting out. I'm not even touching the Direct3D 11 API, and instead looking at understanding the pipeline, etc. From looking at documentation and information floating around the web, it seems like some calculations are being handled by the application. That, is, instead of simply presenting matrices to multiply to the...
Hello all, I need to use Mesa3D for a cross platform application(windows and Mac only) which uses only offline software rendering. The reason I wanted to use Mesa3D is because it has the same Drawing calls as OpenGL and they are really easy. Now I know that Apple itself has a software implementation (which I heard is flaky), but I prefe...
I was playing with the Cinema 4D command line options and ran into a problem that might not be specific to the command line options. I saved a basic scene(a textured cube) in two formats: the original .c4d(binary) format and .xml(via File > Export > Cinema 4D XML). The .c4d file renders with the texture applied, while the .xml file ren...
Is it possible to have a server side program that queues and manages processes that are executed at the command line? The project I am working on takes an image from the user, modifies the image then applies it as a texture to a 3D shape. This 3D scene is generated by blender/Cinema 4d at the command line which outputs it as an image. I...
I am trying to intercept a asp.net web request and based on a lookup replace the page thats going to be rendered to the client. example: If a request for "/about-us" comes to my web server, i will first see if i have a version of this in the database, otherwise i will revert to flat files. The version I will retrieve from the database w...
When a page with theme is rendered, the stylesheets link tags in the given theme are rendered right before the closing head tag. Does anyone know of a way to change that? Is there a way that I could have those tags be placed right after the opening head tag? I know it can be down with jquery by just selecting all the link tags and pla...
We have a Prism/WPF application and are using an expander to animate a menu. When the expander expands, the content is rendered behind the main region's content. The menu is in a different region than the content it is supposed to overlay (since the menu governs what items go into that region) which is why this is occurring. We have...
I have a scanned image that I'm viewing in a java applet. The image is in a jpeg format. When I look at the same image in Internet Explorer, it looks sharper. I would like to make the image quality in my application be as sharp as what I'm seeing in IE. Any ideas on how to sharpen the image rendered in java? Thanks, Elliott ...
Hi, For some time I tried implementing the scattering model described in this paper: Salama Paper The BRDF part of this paper is pretty clear and straightforward. Where I am hanging is the scattering part. When scattering at the first hitpoint once only, I'm just not getting the same results as proposed by the images in the very same...
Basically the problem I have is that in Safari/Chrome it is changing the width of my columns even though I have specified a) a width on the table, b) table-layout:fixed, and c) specific widths on my first row that when added with the padding and border values add up to the width of the table specified. In IE7 and Firefox 3 the table is r...
Hello. My Vertex Buffer Object code is supposed to render textures nicely but instead the textures are being rendered oddly with some triangle shapes. What happens - http://godofgod.co.uk/my_files/wrong.png What is supposed to happen - http://godofgod.co.uk/my_files/right.png This function creates the VBO and sets the vertex and textu...
can someone please explain to me why having a doctype of <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> and <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"> render the following block differently under firefox? <table style="border-collapse:collapse; margin:0; padding:0;"> <tr> <td style="border...
does anybody knows what's differences between Html.RenderAction and Html.Action? ...
I have to support IE6 and I calculate rendering time by creating a timestamp in javascript at the beginning of the page and doing the difference when document.ready is fired in jQuery. If I do 3 pages load, the rendering times in milliseconds can look like this : page 1 : 735, 2672, 734 page 2 : 3063, 1516, 3375 page 3 : 8281, 2531, 37...
