Finding rotation angles from a normal Hello, sorry if this is a newbie question, but it's really puzzling me since I have a very modest math knowledge. I would like to know or to see an example of how to calculate the 3 rotation angles for a vertex point, knowing its normal. For ex...

Help needed for parsing algorithm I'm trying to find a clever way to parse the following text file (well, a part of it) so that it would be organized in nodes (i'd like to end up with a c# treeview). version // NODE { number 8.2 } morphBinaryFile grizzly....

C#: populating treeview recursively Hi, I'm trying to populate a treeview getting data from an array, but I get a GPF and can't understand what's going on. Here is the function I'm using: private void PopulateTreeView(int parentId, TreeNode parentNode) { ...

C vs. C++ extern Hi, I have a problem using extern declarations in a C/C++ mixed solution. The following code works perfectly if both files are .cpp //main.cpp int myVar; //client.cpp extern int myVar; void test() { myVar=99; } But if I rename clien...

C++ multi-level tree search Hi, I'm not very experienced with C++ and here is a screenshot that shows what I'd like to accomplish: I'd like to be able to use a recursive function or an automated mechanism that can find all the children values of a certain node. For example: ...

VC++ : change menu text colors This seems to be a quite difficult task, and I could not find any reference or sample. I know how to change the background color of a window menubar, but how can you change the text color as well ? Is it possible ?

memset: compile error Hi, I'm using VC++ 2003 and I'm getting a compile error with the following code: #include <cstring> MEMORYSTATUS memory; memset(&memory,sizeof(MEMORYSTATUS),0); cube.cpp(151) : error C2501: 'memset' : missing storage-class or type spe...

16bit depth buffer issue Hi, I'm developing a small application on an iPhone, which has a 16 bit depth buffer. I obviously ran into z-buffer fighting when rendering the terrain. Reading some at www.opengl.org, they advise to use a multipass tecnique: 12.080 There is...

[SOLVED] glDrawElements issue (screenshots provided) Hello, I have a problem figuring out how to address indicies for a later call at glDrawElements. I have a 1x1 test grid (so just 2 triangles) which is rendered correctly using glDrawArrays. The 6 verticies are setup like this (in this screenshot the...

Finding rotation angles from a normal Well, I prepared an image that should explain better what I'm trying to do. Basically is a terrain with some objects deployed on it. First problem: object are deployed vertical to ground plane (red ones), while I'd like to have them p...

Finding rotation angles from a normal Thanks for your answer Bob. What if I'd not care about the rotation angle around the normal, and I'd just like to gather the other two ?

Help needed for parsing algorithm Thanks but too complicate.

C#: populating treeview recursively That's right, I can see now that it just makes an infinite loop. But still can't figure out how to make a recursion out of it.

C vs. C++ extern Well I think it's better if I start to convert those C files into C++: I guess mixing both C/C++ can be done but in my case, having a quite complex project, it's better to uniform sources.

C vs. C++ extern Thanks for your help guys ! In the header.h file I have put the following code as you suggested, but with a little difference: #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif int myVar; #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif I ran a test including the...
