MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP TUTORIAL.An operating system, sometimes called an “OS”, is the main program the computer uses to function properly. Operating systems act as a link between you, the user, and the programs you use on a computer. Different types of computers use different types of operating systems. The majority of computers used at BGSU either run Microsoft Windows or the Mac OS. While files can be shared between these two types of systems, they are generally incompatible. The tutorial on this page explains how to use a PC, which (on campus) will soon use the Windows XP operating system. To understand how to use a computer running Windows XP, follow these step-by-step lessons.Most PCs run on an operating system called Windows. These particular tutorial deals with the Windows XP professional version of the Windows operating system. The operating system is what allows you as the user to access the information in the computer. To understand how to use a computer, it is important to know several features of the Windows system. Desktop The desktop is the area you see when the computer is not running applications. It consists of the icons on top of it, as well as the Start button and other features. The desktop can be used to temporarily store information or to move around documents and windows. Icon Icons are little pictures that represent different programs or saved items. Double-clicking on the icon accesses the information icons represent.Each application opened will appear in its own window, or its own little section of the screen. Windows can be moved and resized so that you can operate many different applications at the same time. To learn how to manipulate windows, refer to the Manipulating Windows portion of Level. Dialogue Box When you ask the computer to do certain commands, such as to save your work, the computer will need more information from you, and this will appear in a dialogue box. These boxes contain options and commands for the computer to execute. Click here to get MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP TUTORIAL

PDF- A Guide to the Python Universe for ESRI Users

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 07:13:00 +0000

A Guide to the Python Universe for ESRI Users.Scripting in ESRI software has historically followed two models. The fi rst model is demonstrated by ARC Macro Language (AML). This model shows its PrimOS heritage. Output is piped to fi les, data handling is fi le system and directory based, and the code is very linear in nature. The second model is exemplifi ed by Avenue that shows its Smalltalk origins. Object.request is the name of the game: things donʼt have to be linear, I/O is sometimes a struggle, and integrating with other programs is a mixed bag. Both are custom languages that have their own dark, nasty corners. With the introduction of ArcGIS 8, your scripting-based view of the world was turned upside down. Interface-based programming required you to use a “real” programming language, such as C++ or Visual Basic, to access the functionality of ArcGIS 8. There was no script for automating a series of tasks. Instead, you had to write executables, navigate a complex tree of interfaces and objects to fi nd the required tools, and compile DLLs and type libraries to expose custom functionality. With the introduction of ArcGIS 9, ESRI is again providing access to its software through scripting. ESRI realized that many of its users donʼt want or need to be programmers but would still like to have tools to solve problems they encounter. These tools include nice, consistent GUIs; scriptable objects; and the nuts-and-bolts programming tools necessary for customization. To fulfi ll this need, ESRI supports a variety of scripting languages using ArcObjects—starting with the geoprocessing framework. Python, one of the languages supported, is an Open Source, interpreted, dynamically typed, object-oriented scripting language. Python is included with ArcGIS 9 and is installed along with the other components of a typical installation. This article gives you an overview of what is available in the Python universe to help you with GIS programming and integrating ESRI tools. Introducing Python Python was fi rst released in 1991 by Guido van Rossum at Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. Yes, it is named after Monty Pythonʼs Flying Circus, which Guido loves. Its name also means that references from the movies and television show are sprinkled throughout examples, code, and comments. Many of Pythonʼs features have been cherry-picked from other languages such as ABC, Modula, LISP, and Haskel. Some of these features include advanced things, such as metaclasses, generators, and list comprehensions, but most programmers will only need Pythonʼs basic types such as the lists, dictionaries, and strings. Although it is almost 13 years old, Python is currently at release 2.3. This refl ects the design philosophy of the Benevolent Dictator for Life (Guido) and the group of programmers that continue to improve Python. They strive for incremental change and attempt to preserve backwards compatibility, Click here to get A Guide to the Python Universe for ESRI Users

PDF- Brief 3ds max Shaping Tutorial

admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 19:20:20 +0000

Brief 3ds max Shaping Tutorial. Go to top view, create a 6 sided cylinder, 0.1 radius—this is the perfect shaft thickness to fit in the hand, so you don’t have to mess with scale upon export. It is exactly 4.5 from the hand to the ground and 4.5 from the hand to the top of the head, so a staff should be 9 tall or slightly less if you don’t want it to go through the ground.Right click, convert to editable poly. Now you have a poly that you can shape. If you decide you need to make the shaft longer after creating the initial cylinder, go to left view (shortcut L), go to vertex subselect and then select the vertices at the bottom of the shaft and drag them down with the move tool along the z axis, only clicking on the z axis of the move tool. Moving the vertices is the most efficient way to lengthen. Of course you could use the scale tool and select the polys but then it would spread in both directions along the z axis so just moving the vertices is much easier.Now let me recreate the power key axe, on the left will be the original and on the right the recreation we’ll be shaping. Look at your 6 sided cylinder, the bottom and top of my cylinder are not equal to the original; so, I go to vertex subselect and move them as I described above.Now to get the shape of the original on the left I need another line intersecting the bottom of the shaft. Switch to poly select and select your bottom polys. Right click and go to quickslice. Quickslice is an amazing tool because it will slice straight through your model, both sides (cut which is above quickslice, only cuts the surface). Now click to the right or left of your model where you want the slice to occur and a line should appear through the polys. Click again and it makes the slice. Right click to get out of the quickslice tool so you don’t accidentally make another slice. Click here to get Brief 3ds max Shaping Tutorial

PDF- The Forger’s Win32 API Tutorial

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:25:08 +0000

The Forger’s Win32 API Tutorial.This tutorial is intended to present to you the basics (and common extras) of writing programs using the Win32 API. The language used is C, most C++ compilers will compile it as well. As a matter of fact, most of the information is applicable to any language that can access the API, inlcuding Java, Assembly and Visual Basic. I will not however present any code relating to these languages and you’re on your own in that regard, but several people have previously used this document in said languages with quite a bit of success. This tutorial will not teach you the C language, nor will it tell you how to run your perticular compiler (Borland C++, Visual C++, LCC-Win32, etc…) I will however take a few moments in the appendix to provide some notes on using the compilers I have knowledge of. If you don’t know what a macro or a typedef are, or how a switch() statement works, then turn back now and read a good book or tutorial on the C language first.This tutorial attempts to get you started developing with the Win32 API as quickly and clearly as possible. It is meant to be read as a whole, so please read it from beginning to end before asking questions… most of them will probably be answered. Each section builds on the sections before it. I have also added some solutions to common errors in Appendix A. If you ask me a question that is answered on this page, you will look very silly.In general I will freely answer any questions that I receive by email, or point you in the direction of a resource that may be of assistance. At the moment I am busy with a couple of large ongoing projects and don’t have the time to work on custom examples or small software projects. I would however be willing to entertain job offers.Sometimes throughout the text I will indicate certain things are IMPORANT to read. Because they screw up so many people, if you don’t read it, you’ll likely get caught too. The first one is this: The source provided in the example ZIP file is not optional! I don’t include all the code in the text itself, only that which is relevant to whatever I’m currently discussing. In order to see how this code fits in with the rest of the program, you must take a look at the source provided in the ZIP file. Click here to get The Forger’s Win32 API Tutorial
