Using the NetTopology in C# I'm getting a 'found non-noded intersection' Exception when determining the difference between two specific geometries.
These geometries are the result of using several routines like CascadedPolygonUnion.Union, Intersection, and Difference.
At some point, we have a MultiPolygon from which we want to cut out another geometry (Polygon):
We use this code to try and cut off the 'red' polygon:
Geometry difference = multiPolygon.Difference(geometryToRemove);
But then we get a NetTopologySuite.Geometries.TopologyException with the message:
found non-noded intersection between LINESTRING (240173.28029999882 493556.2806000002, 240173.28177031482 493556.28131837514) and LINESTRING (240173.28176154062 493556.2813140882, 240173.28176153247 493556.2813140842) [ (240173.28176153894, 493556.2813140874) ]
I asked this question also in the NetTopologySuite Discussuion forum because we are close to a release date and I was hoping someone could give some extra insight (of ideas for a workaround) as this looks like a bug in de library because the polygons themselves seem valid.
The data regarding the polygons can be found here - we use the 'RDNew' data to perform the Difference action, but I also added the WGS84 versions of these polygons to be able to view them in tools like geojson.io.
Thanks to one of the maintainers of the library I got the answer.
Basically, I needed to upgrade to version 2.2 (which I already did at first to see if this would resolve the problem).
But second, I needed to configure the application to use the - in version 2.2 introduced - 'NextGen' overlay generator, which is not turned on by default.
To use the 'Next Gen' overlay generator, add the following code at some starup point in your application:
var curInstance = NetTopologySuite.NtsGeometryServices.Instance;
NetTopologySuite.NtsGeometryServices.Instance = new NetTopologySuite.NtsGeometryServices(
curInstance.DefaultCoordinateSequenceFactory,
curInstance.DefaultPrecisionModel,
curInstance.DefaultSRID,
GeometryOverlay.NG, // RH: use 'Next Gen' overlay generator
curInstance.CoordinateEqualityComparer);
I use the current instance of NtsGeometryServices to get and reuse the current default instances of the other configurable parts.
But your free to create new instances of the required parts (like mentioned in the original post at https://github.com/NetTopologySuite/NetTopologySuite/discussions/530#discussioncomment-888410 )
There are also possibilities to use both overlay generators next to each other (also mentioned in the original post), but I never tried this as we will be using the 'NextGen' version for the entire application.
I am fairly new to programming and I just wrote a simple application in C# .NET to retrieve information about system drive space. The program functions fine but I'm struggling with formatting the output.
See output:
I'm trying to use padding to get the text to line up in sort of a column format within a rich text box but the output doesn't line up because if there are multiple drives, the drive names are different lengths which throws off the padding. Even if the drive letter comes back one as M: and the other as I: the difference in the size of the letter is enough to throw off the alignment while padding.
I am wondering if there is a way to force each string value to a specific length so the padding is applied evenly or if maybe there's an even better way to format my output. Thank you in advance for your time and let me know if any further information would be helpful!
Note: One of the comments asked an important question, regarding whether the question refers to the System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox (WinForms) or the System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox (WPF) control. This answer applies only to the WinForms version of RichTextBox, so if you're using WPF, this doesn't apply.
The most important thing, and this was mentioned in the comments, is that you'll need to use a Monospaced font.
Since you stated you're using a RichTextBox, you'll need to know how to set it to use whatever monospaced font you've chosen.
To do that, you can use the RichTextBox.SelectionFont property.
For more general instructions, refer to this MSDN article: Setting Font Attributes for the Windows Forms RichTextBox Control
Once you set the RichTextBox.SelectionFont property, only text added to the control afterwards will use the specified font. To apply the font to existing text (i.e. you populate the RichTextBox and then change the font to an appropriate monospaced font), take a look at this answer, which tells you precisely what to do.
Once that's done, there remains the simple matter of adding the appropriate amount of whitespace to the end of each string, such that the next piece of data appears at the appropriate position. You'll probably be using String.PadRight, but for more general information about padding strings, check out this MSDN article: Padding Strings in the .NET Framework
Here is string formatting example:
string varOne = "Line One";
double varTwo = 15/100;
string output= String.Format("{0,-10} {1,5:P1}", varOne, varTwo);
//expected output is
//Line One 15 %
where formatting properties in curly brackets are:
{index[,alignment][ :formatString] }
I've already tried asking the question on their forums but as yet to have received a response, hope someone can help me on here.
I have setup a custom report screen in asp.net where people can drag labels and fields and Migradoc produces this accordingly by using textframes and top/left/width/height properties to lay them out in the same place they were dragged/resized to. This all works great however one issue I have is if the text is longer than the textframe it runs off the page and I need the page to move on accordingly whilst retaining the other objects in place.
I can use the below code to measure a string:
Style style = document.Styles["Normal"];
TextMeasurement tm = new TextMeasurement(style.Font.Clone());
float fh = tm.MeasureString(value, UnitType.Millimeter).Height;
float fw = tm.MeasureString(value, UnitType.Millimeter).Width;
But it's only useful for comparing the width against the frame and not the height because it could be different once put into a smaller area. Does anyone know how I can measure this string based on bound width/height values i.e. within a text frame.
Look at the CreateBlocks() method in the XTextFormatter class and how it calls MeasureString in a loop to break the text to multiple lines.
I'm afraid you have to implement such a loop yourself.
Or maybe use the PrepareDocument() method of the DocumentRenderer class to let MigraDoc do the work and just query the dimensions when it's done.
BTW: a similar question had been asked at the forum before:
http://forum.pdfsharp.net/viewtopic.php?p=3590#p3590
Answer includes some source code.
An easy way to do this (using I-liked-the-old-stack-overflow's link) is to add the PdfWordWrapper class to your project and then calculate the dimensions of your text as follows:
var wrapper = new PdfWordWrapper(g, contentWidth); //g is your XGraphics object
wrapper.Add("My text here", someFont, XBrushes.Black);
wrapper.Process();
var dimensions = wrapper.Size; //you can access .Height or .Width
//If you want to reuse the wrapper just call .Clear() and then .Add() again with some new text
Has anyone any idea how to use Excel.XlLegendPosition.xlLegendPositionCustom to specifically position the legend of a chart? Currently, I'm using
chart.Legend.Position = Excel.XlLegendPosition.xlLegendPositionBottom;
which does exactly what one would expect. Right up until the time when you try and print the chart. THEN it places the legend pretty much where ever it wants -- which isn't where I need it to be.
I've checked the MSDN and every other site I could think of. The best Microsoft can come up with is as follows:
xlLegendPositionCustom: A custom position.
There are no examples that I could find that show how to use this.
Thanks for any help.
Okay, it doesn't seem as if anyone has encountered this particular issue -- or needed to use the command. No worries, I appreciate folks taking the time to look at the question.
I did find a workaround that allows you to position the legend using points. It appears if you use the preset positioning options (like Excel.XlLegendPosition.xlLegendPositionBottom), Excel positions the legend based on whatever magic MS uses to figure these things out. Since I couldn't figure out how to use the Excel.XlLegendPosition.xlLegendPositionCustom, I played around with the other commands and found these:
chart.Legend.Left = 375;
chart.Legend.Top = 450;
Those commands will take an int (I used 374 and 450) and using them, you can force the position of the legend to anywhere on the chart.
I don't think you can set it to xlLegendPositionCustom, it's read-only, i.e. when you 'ask'(Debug.Print ActiveChart.Legend.Position), after setting ActiveChart.Legend.Left/ActiveChart.Legend.Top you get -4161 which is xlLegendPositionCustom.
I have developed a large business portal. I just realized I need my website in another language. I have researched the solutions available like
Used third party control on my website. (Does fit in my design. Not useful regarding SEO point of view. Dont want to show third party brand names.)
Create Resource files for each language.( A lot of work required to restructure pages to use text from resource files. What about the data entered by the user like Business Description. )
Are there any Other options available.
I was thinking of a solution like a when a page is created on server side then I could translate it before sending back to client. Is there any way I can do that?(to translate everything including data added from databases or through a code. And without effecting design. )
If you really need to translate your application, it's going to take a lot of hard, tedious work. There is no magic bullet.
The first thing you need to do is convert your plain text in your markup to asp:Localize controls. By using the Localize control, you can leave your existing <span> tags in place and just replace the text inside of them. There's really no way around this. Visual Studio's search and replace supports regular expression matching that may help you with this, or you can use Resharper (see below).
The first approach would be to download the open source shopping application nopCommerce and see how they handle their localization. They store their strings in a database and have a UI for editing languages. A similar approach may work well for you.
Alternatively, if you want to use Resource Files, there are two tools that I would recommend using in addition to Visual Studio: Resharper 5 (Localization Features screencast) and Zeta Resource Editor. These are the steps I would take to accomplish it using this method:
Use the "Generate Local Resource" tool in visual studio for each page
Use Resharper's "Move HTML to resource" on the text in your markup to make them into Localize controls.
Use Resharper to search out any localizable strings in your code behind and move them to the resource file as well.
Use the Globalization Rules of Code Analysis / FXCop to help find any additional problems you might face formatting numbers, dates, etc.
Once all text is in the resx files, use Zeta Resource Editor to load up all of your resx files, add new languages, and export for translation (or auto translate if you're brave enough).
I've used this approach on a site translated into 8 languages (and growing) with dozens of pages (and growing). However, this is not a user-editable site; the pages are solely controlled by the programmers.
a large switch case? use a dictionary/hashtable (seperate instance for each a language), it is much, much more effective and fast.
To Convert The Page To Arabic Language Or Other Language .
Go to :
1-page design
2-Tools
3-Generate Local Resource
4-obtain "App_LocalResources" include "filename.aspx.resx"
5-copy the file and change the name to "filename.aspx.ar.resx" to convert the page to arabic language or other .
hope to helpful :)
I found a good solution, see in http://www.nopcommerce.com/p/1784/nopcommerce-translator.aspx
this project is open source and source repository is here: https://github.com/Marjani/NopCommerce-Translator
good luck
Without installing any 3rd party tool, APIs, or dll objects, I am able to utilize the App_LocalResources. Although I still use Google Translate for the words and sentences to be translated and copy and paste it to the file as you can see in one of the screenshots below (or you can have a person translator and type manually to add). In your Project folder (using MS Visual Studio as editor), add an App_LocalResources folder and create the English and other language (resx file). In my case, it's Spanish (es-ES) translation. See screenshot below.
Next, on your aspx, add the meta tags (meta:resourcekey) that will match in the App_LocalResources. One for English and another to the Spanish file. See screenshots below:
Spanish: (filename.aspx.es-ES.resx)
English: (filename.aspx.resx)
.
Then create a link on your masterpage file with a querystring that will switch the page translation and will be available on all pages:
<%--ENGLISH/SPANISH VERSION BUTTON--%>
<asp:HyperLink ID="eng_ver" runat="server" Text="English" Font-Underline="false"></asp:HyperLink> |
<asp:HyperLink ID="spa_ver" runat="server" Text="Español" Font-Underline="false"></asp:HyperLink>
<%--ENGLISH/SPANISH VERSION BUTTON--%>
.
On your masterpage code behind, create a dynamic link to the Hyperlink tags:
////LOCALIZATION
string thispage = Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
eng_ver.NavigateUrl = thispage;
spa_ver.NavigateUrl = thispage + "?ver=es-ES";
////LOCALIZATION
.
Now, on your page files' code behind, you can set a session variable to make all links or redirections to stick to the desired translation by always adding a querystring to urls.
On PageLoad:
///'LOCALIZATION
//dynamic querystring; add this to urls ---> ?" + Session["add2url"]
{
if (Session["version"] != null)
{
Session["add2url"] = "?ver=" + Session["version"]; //SPANISH version
}
else
{
Session["add2url"] = ""; // ENGLISH as default
}
}
///'LOCALIZATION
.
On Click Events sample:
protected void btnBack_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["FileName.aspx"] = null;
Response.Redirect("FileName.aspx" + Session["add2url"]);
}
I hope my descriptions were easy enough.
If you don't want to code more and if its feasible with google translator then You can try with Google Translator API. you can check below code.
<script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
$.when(
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', includedLanguages: 'en',
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.FloatPosition.TOP_LEFT}, 'google_translate_element')
).done(function(){
var select = document.getElementsByClassName('goog-te-combo')[0];
select.selectedIndex = 1;
select.addEventListener('click', function () {
select.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
});
select.click();
});
}
$(window).on('load', function() {
var select = document.getElementsByClassName('goog-te-combo')[0];
select.click();
var selected = document.getElementsByClassName('goog-te-gadget')[0];
selected.hidden = true;
});
</script>
Also, Find below code for <body> tag
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
It will certainly be more work to create resource files for each language - but this is the option I would opt for, as it gives you the opportunity to be more accurate. If you do it this way you can have the text translated, manually, by someone that speaks the language (there are many companies out there that offer this kind of service).
Automatic translation systems are often good for giving a general impression of what something in another language means, but I would never use them when trying to portray a professional image, as often what they output just doesn't make sense. Nothing screams 'unprofessional!' like text that just doesn't make sense because it's been automatically translated.
I would take the resource file route over the translation option because the meaning of words in a language can be very contextual and even one mistake could undermine your site's credibility.
As you suggest Visual Studio can generate the meta resource file keys for most controls containing text but may leave you having to do the rest manually but I don't see an easier, more reliable solution.
I don't think localisation is an easy-to-automate thing anyway as text held in the database often results in schema changes to allow for multiple languages, and web HTML often need restructuring to deal with truncated or wrapped label and button text because, for example, you've translated into German or something.
Other considerations:
Culture settings - financial delimitors, date formats.
Right-to-left - some languages like arabic are written right to left meaning that the pages require rethinking as to control positioning like images etc.
Good luck whatever you go with.
I ended up doing it the hard way:
I wrote an extension method on the string class called TranslateInto
On the Page's PreRender method I grab all controls recursively based on their type (the types that would have text)
Foreach through them and text.TranslateInto(SupportedLanguages.CurrentLanguage)
In my TranslateInto method I have a ridiculously large switch statement with every string displayed to the user and its associated translation.
Its not very pretty, but it worked.
We work with a Translation CAT tool (Computer Assisted Translation) called MemoQ that allows us to translate the text while leaving all the tags and coding in place. This is very helpful when the order of words change when you translate from one language to another.
It is also very useful because it allows us to work with translators from around the world, without the need for them to have any technical expertise. It also allows us to have the translation proof read by a second translator.
We use this translation environment to translate html, xml, InDesign, Word, etc.
I think you should try Google Translate.

Very easy and very very effective.
