Frequently Asked Questions

Is it faster to use absolute coordinates or to use relative coordinates?

OpenGL FAQ / 22 Performance
By using absolute (or “world”) coordinates, your application doesn't have to change the ModelView matrix as often. By using relative (or “object”) coordinates, you can cut down on data storage of redundant primitives or geometry. A good analogy is an architectural software package that models a hotel. The hotel model has hundreds of thousands of rooms, most of which are identical.

What are the pros and cons of using absolute versus relative coordinates?

OpenGL FAQ / 9 Transformations
Some OpenGL applications may need to render the same object in multiple locations in a single scene. OpenGL lets you do this two ways: Use “absolute coordinates". Maintain multiple copies of each object, each with its own unique set of vertices. You don't need to change the ModelView matrix to render the object at the desired location. Use “relative coordinates". See similar questions...

What happens when I create absolute coordinates?

FAQS
Absolute coordinates are points where the x,y,z (Easting, Northing, Elevation) values have been explicitly set. Between any two absolute points, the traverse coordinates will be adjusted so that the error between the unadjusted geometry and the new geometry is distributed evenly along that section of traverse (using the Compass Rule). The raw survey data is NOT modified (shot azimuth, distance slope, etc.). See similar questions...

Should I use relative links or absolute links?

Absolute links. It is recommended by Google as it is possible for crawlers to miss some relative links. See similar questions...

Can I use absolute positioning for my dialogs?

FAQ: Gtk - Mono
Yes, use the Gtk.Fixed or Gtk.Layout widgets if you need to use absolute positioning for your widgets. How do I fill a Gtk.ComboBox? void FillCombo (Gtk.ComboBox cb) { cb.Clear(); CellRendererText cell = new CellRendererText(); cb.PackStart(cell, false); cb.AddAttribute(cell, "text", 0); ListStore store = new ListStore(typeof (string)); cb.Model = store; store.AppendValues ("Hello"); store.AppendValues ("Gtk"); store.

What is the difference between Absolute vs Relative URLs?

Contain all information necessary for the browser(or other client program) to locate the resource named in the URL This includes protocol moniker used( i.e http://, ftp://..etc..), Server's Domain name or IP address and the file path Only provide information necessary to locate a resource relative to the current document(document relative) or current server or domain(root relative) See similar questions...

What is relative vs absolute links?

Frequent Questions About SEO | How To Get Ranked In Search E...
Relative: Relative links usually look something like index.html or /folder/page.html. The way the page knows where to go is all relative to the page the link is placed on. A link to index.html for example, will only work if the file is found in the current folder. Absolute: Absolute links usually look something like http://www.example.com/page.html. This is a full url and the linked to page will be found regardless of where that link is located on the site. See similar questions...

How can I get the absolute mouse coordinates?

Java Programmer's FAQ
You mean, if the browser is about 640x480, you want a y-coord between 0 and 480. If the browser window is about 800x600 you want a y-coord between 0 and 600. This might be needed for a pop-up menu, where you want to pop up at the absolute mouse position. The approach is to sum up the event's (x,y) and the locations of the target and its parents until there is no parent. Though on some browsers, it seems this is not reliable. [Better suggestions are solicited.] See similar questions...

Paths/URL's are incorrect, I want absolute/relative URLs?

TinyMCE:FAQ - Moxiecode Documentation Wiki
These are the different configuration scenarios for URLs within TinyMCE. There is also an example page illustrating these different options: This will convert all URLs within the same domain to relative URLs. The URLs will be relative from the document_base_url. relative_urls : true, document_base_url : "http://www.site.com/path1/" This will convert all relative URLs to absolute URLs. The URLs will be absolute based on the document_base_url. See similar questions...

Should I specify absolute or relative path for my thumbnails?

Zoom Search Engine - FAQ - Customizing appearance of images ...
For example, if you web site is organized such that its thumbnails are always in a directory called "thumb" relative to where the image files are, then you should use relative path "thumb". If your thumbnail images all start with a "th_", you should check "Look for thumbnails with the same filename but with "th_" before the name. See similar questions...

What format should I use for the topo coordinates?

SummitPost - Frequently Asked Questions -- FAQs
SummitPost requires coordinates in decimal degree notation (dd.dddd), not DMS (dd? mm' ss.sss'') or UTM. Be sure to recalculate the coordinates into dd.dddd format. A decimal point (.) is required. Commas are deleted and result in incorrect coordinates. Members in the western hemisphere must use negative longitudes. Here are two examples: Recalculate the DMS-data (dd? mm' ss.

Why is it that the further away the object is, the faster it moves relative to us?

faq2
Just as the raisin itself in the cake is not expanding, objects in the universe are not expanding- it's the space between them that's expanding. See similar questions...

How do coordinates work? How do you use the map?

Imperial Conflict - The FAQ
Coordinates are the same as on normal maps. You have your X-axis, which is the horizontal axis. The Y-axis is the vertical axis. Coordinates are usually made like this: (XX,YY). Planet coordinates add another number, the planet number (Z). So your coordinate will look like this: (XX,YY:ZZ). To use the map, click on one of the sectors. You will get an overview of all systems in that sector. See similar questions...

What is the difference between the absolute and relative measurement in DS3 light grids?

DataSensor Sensors FAQs Infra Photoelectric Area Color Laser...
The absolute measurement provides a voltage signal proportional to the last optic interrupted and can be useful, for example, with objects presenting holes or openings. The relative measurement provides a signal proportional to the number of optics interrupted, and so the object width. See similar questions...

What is the difference between the relative and absolute detection in DS3 light grids?

DataSensor Sensors FAQs Infra Photoelectric Area Color Laser...
In the first mode the object can be detected in any position inside the measurement field. In the second mode, in one pre-established position. These modes can thus solve many different applications, ranging from presence and orientation control, object identification as well as guide control. See similar questions...

Why is my paths incorrect, I want absolute/relative URLs?

TinyMCE:Faq - Moxiecode Documentation Wiki
This will convert all URLs within the same domain to relative URLs. The URLs will be relative from the document_base_url. relative_urls : true, document_base_url : "http://www.site.com/path1/" This will convert all relative URLs to absolute URLs. The URLs will be absolute based on the document_base_url. relative_urls : false, remove_script_host : true, document_base_url : "http://www.site.com/path1/" This will convert all relative URLs to absolute URLs. See similar questions...

Are the temperature values reported by the software relative to this absolute?

FAQ for Solver Software: ANSWER, PORFLOW, TIDAL and RADM -- ...
Yes. Temperature values are always reported relative to this value. The temperature (say, for computing density by gas law) is computed as the reported temperature plus this absolute value. See similar questions...

Fair enough, but are there absolute boundaries on how you, personally, use the term?

The Blue Room FAQ
Yeah, okay, there are at least some semi-rigid ones. I use the term "roleplaying game" to describe any game where I, as a player, can take on the role of a character, interact freely and creatively with other characters, and tackle the character's challenges with meaninfgul choices and creative approaches made from that character's perspective. See similar questions...

Can I use compressed air to dry the filter faster?

FAQs
No, this can blow the filter material right out of the wire mesh and ruin the filter. Pick a nice day to clean the filter and let it dry naturally. A low pressure air flow such as from an industrial drying machine or blow dryer will help the filter dry more quickly. See similar questions...
