How do I calculate the object-space distance from the viewer to a given point?

OpenGL FAQ / 9 Transformations
Transform the point into eye-coordinate space by multiplying it by the ModelView matrix. Then simply calculate its distance from the origin. (If this doesn't work, you may have incorrectly placed the view transform on the Projection matrix stack.)

What is the distance from one confluence point to the next ?

DCP: Frequently Asked Questions
Well, it depends a little. If you want to reach the next confluence point to the north or to the south, the distance is always the same, or it would be if the Earth were a perfect sphere: it varies only from 110.57km (68.71mi) at the equator to 111.69km (69.40mi) between 89 degrees latitude and the poles. If you want to reach the next confluence point to the east or west, the distance depends on how far north or south you are. The distance is 111.32km (69.

Given the current ModelView matrix, how can I determine the object-space location of the camera?

OpenGL FAQ / 8 Viewing and Camera Transforms, and Using gluL...
The "camera" or viewpoint is at (0., 0., 0.) in eye space. When you turn this into a vector [0 0 0 1] and multiply it by the inverse of the ModelView matrix, the resulting vector is the object-space location of the camera. OpenGL doesn't let you inquire (through a glGet* routine) the inverse of the ModelView matrix. You'll need to compute the inverse with your own code.

How can I find the screen coordinates for a given object-space coordinate?

OpenGL FAQ / 9 Transformations
You can use the GLU library gluProject() utility routine if you only need to find it for a few vertices. For a large number of coordinates, it can be more efficient to use the Feedback mechanism. To use gluProject(), you'll need to provide the ModelView matrix, projection matrix, viewport, and input object space coordinates. Screen space coordinates are returned for X, Y, and Z, with Z being normalized (0 <= Z <= 1).

What was the first object given to the DAR Museum?

DAR | Museum - The Directors Message
The first recorded donation was a set of china, which was never formally accessioned and therefore is not in the DAR Museum's possession. Accessioning did not begin until around 1910. The first formally accessioned item was a beaded bag owned and used by Malatiah Youngs, wife of Samuel Youngs, a Revolutionary War soldier. Malatiah's great-granddaughter donated it during the early 1890s.

How do I calculate the distance between two waypoints?

GPS Waypoints General FAQ
To calculate distances between two waypoints requires the use of the ",great circle formula", because the earth is round (approx) and we have to take that into consideration when working with relatively large distances. Distance=ACOS(SIN(lat1/180*PI)*SIN(lat2/180*PI)+ COS(lat1/180*PI)*COS(lat2/180*PI)*COS(lon1/180*PI-lon2/180*PI))*180*60/PI)

How do I calculate the distance between two points?

MapTools - Frequently Asked Questions
If you put them into your GPS as waypoints/landmarks and add them to a route, your GPS will calculate the distance for you. Button pushing details are different for each GPS model, so that is left as an exercise for the reader. If you have the points in UTM, and they are close enough together to ignore the curvature of the earth, you can work with them like XY Cartesian coordinates.

How can I calculate the distance between two geo-coordinates?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - AddressDoctor
It is very complicated to calculate the exact distance between two geographical coordinates since different projections as well as the oblateness of the earth has to be considered. But in most cases a simple formula will help as long the distance is not too small and the points are not too close to the poles. You will need WGS84 geo-coordinates in decimal degree (not in degree-minutes-seconds like N 49? 29.296 E 008? 27.722). All geo-coordinates provided by Platon are in decimal degree.

How to calculate my Redeemable Point?

Welcome to Eastern Miles!
Your Redeemable Point = Elite Points + ?? points via eligible air partners flights + ?? points via consumption at non-air partners + points via Eastern Miles promotion activities

Can the object move?

In Nomine Frequently Asked Questions - Celestials
Also depends on the object. Anything designed to bend or move will be able to do so. So a door could open and close, a car could drive around, a ball could roll, a puppet could walk around. But a candlestick couldn't move around on its own, since it is inflexible. Neither could a hammer lift itself to hammer a nail (or whatever). Certain Songs can give movement abilities, however. For example, Numious Corpus: Wings and that toaster vessel . . .

How do you calculate web space usage?

Laws Web Hosting - Hosting, PHP, MySQL, Perl
The amount of space used by the following services are all included in your total web space usage calculations: We do not set any limit on how much space any of the items listed above can use, but the sum total may not exceed the total space allocated to your hosting account.

How do I calculate my web space requirement?

Cybersites India
Web space requirements should be calculated keeping in mind the quantity of html pages, graphics, audio and video content and database requirements. You should generally opt for a little more space than you originally calculated as the same may be required to accommodate customer responses and database size growth.

How strong is the magnetic field at a given distance from the magnet?

WONDERMAGNET.COM - NdFeB Magnets, Magnet Wire, Books, Weird ...
Elementary physics states that the magnetic field of a magnetic dipole is approximately proportional to the inverse square of the distance from the dipole. Therefore, if you double the distance from the magnet, the magnetic field strength will be reduced (roughly) by a factor of 4.

How do I get the distance between a point and the hyperplane?

LIBSVM FAQ
On 32-bit machines, if I use a large cache (i.e. large -m) on a linux machine, why sometimes I get "segmentation fault ?"

Go Top] Q: How do I get the distance between a point and the hyperplane?

LIBSVM FAQ
The distance is |decision_value| / |w|. We have |w|^2 = w^Tw = alpha^T Q alpha = 2*(dual_obj + sum alpha_i). Thus in svm.cpp please find the place where we calculate the dual objective value (i.e., the subroutine Solve()) and add a statement to print w^Tw. Go Top] Q: On 32-bit machines, if I use a large cache (i.e. large -m) on a linux machine, why sometimes I get "segmentation fault ?" On 32-bit machines, the maximum addressable memory is 4GB.

What is the distance that can be run with the Access Point?

Spectrum Wireless - Resource Center - FAQs
It varies greatly between the different radio systems. With the Cisco radio system, for instance, a point-to-multipoint distance of up to 10 miles may be reached; a distance of 15 miles at 11 Mbps and 2 miles at 2 Mbps may be reached on a point-to-point configuration.

gt; What is the minimum distance between each point?

APAS Info
Concerning the coordinates for control points in Digi4, they should be entered in the units as specified in the sequence parameters. When you are at the Sequence Information dialog & click on the "Control" button, a spreadsheet style dialog appears for entering the XYZ control values for each control point. The columns should have the proper label as given in the "units" of Seq. Info. I just checked it out and that is the case on my system.

Do all of the given functions get used at one point or another in the code we have to write?

FAQ for IP Lab #1
I hear a lot of people are having trouble with the following error in lab1: Empty n_pdu IOT/Abort trap (core dumped) I think this is caused by freeing pdu's you've sent to the datalink layer with send_pdu_to_datalink. IF YOU SEND A PACKET THEN DON'T FREE IT. Just reuse the PDU_TYPE pointer without freeing. It's bad practice I suppose but otherwise the code won't work. I get the same error "Empty n_pdu" for all the cases.

How many artists are at Artcroft at a given point?

Artcroft - FAQs
Our facilities currently accommodate four individual residents. Groups or collaborative projects can be coordinated with Artcroft's staff.

Which viewer is needed to play my Object VR movie?

Frequently Asked Questions
The format of your Object VR movie will determine which viewer is required for your users. QuickTime files (*.mov) require users to download Apple’s QuickTime viewer. This plugin can be downloaded for free and is compatible with both PCs and Macs. Other movie files (e.g., *.avi or *.wmv) may require different viewers (e.g., Windows Media Player), which are also downloadable for free.
