Makes 8-12 cakes
These fishcakes are a doddle to make and you can make them from frozen fish and leftover mashed potato. They are also great for preparing in advance and freezing, check the tips section for freezing instructions.
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
For the mashed potato, bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes to the pot and cook until tender, this should tabke about 15 minutes. When cooked drain in a colander and leave to drain for a few minutes. Return to the pot and mash with a potato masher until a smooth consistency is achieved. Set aside.
Put the frozen fish on a roasting tin and cook in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until opaque and starting to flake. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and any bones and flake the fish into large chunks.
Mix the fish, mashed potato, parsley and egg together until well combined. (Mix together carefully so as not to break up the fish too much.) Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 8-12 patties, depending on how large you want them to be and set aside to chill in the fridge for one hour.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the fish cakes until golden brown on each side and heated right through. Serve with tartare sauce and a simple salad.

Designing A Digital Strategy
Hector Miller-Bakewell
Tessa Darbyshire
You will need javascript enabled before you can view this flowchart.


The general idea is that we'll render from the light's point of view, save that to a texture, and then on each pixel, determine whether the pixel is in shadow by comparing the texture's depth value with a calculated depth value.
There are two common methods for doing this. One is to render into the window and copy that result to a texture. The other is to render directly into the texture using the Framebuffer Objects extension.
glCopyTexImage
Render the scene into a window, and call glCopyTexImage
with internal format set to GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT
to copy the depth buffer to the texture.
The rest of the details can be found in the man page.
This function does the same thing as glTexImage2D
, so apart from this you just have to generate the texture and set its filtering correctly during initialization.
Important notes:
glViewport
and then set it back to the window size after you're done rendering.
Note: the graphics cards in WeH 5336 do not support depth-texture framebuffer objects, so you'll have to stick with using glCopyTexImage2D
If you want to use FBOs to use do render-to-texture, the specification for the extension is available here. Just kidding, you don't have to read that. Since there aren't any good resources available online for this stuff, here is some sample code to set up a render-to-depth-texture loop.
Once this has been successfully completed, the contents of the depth buffer will look something like the following image.
Note that you should be pretty careful about how you select your z-near and z-far clipping planes. In this case, I've set z-near to be justin front of the guy's head and z-far to be just beyond the floor, which efficiently uses the full range of the z-buffer. While it isn't necessary to be this excessively precise, you should keep an eye on your range to make sure that you aren't wasting depth, since that will result in artifacts.
To convert between world coordinates and texture coordinates, you need to do two steps.
In practice, probably the best way to do this is, each frame,
gluPerspective
and gluLookAt
)Mat4
s lightModelView/ProjectionMatrix
by calling glGetDoublev (GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, lightModelViewMatrix
), and likewise for the projection matrixglPolygonOffset (0, 1)
and enabling GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL
glActiveTexture
you're using) by calling glMatrixMode (GL_TEXTURE)
and clear the matrix with glLoadIdentity ()
glTranslatef (0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
glScalef (0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
glMultMatrixd (lightProjectionMatrix)
glMultMatrixd (lightModelViewMatrix)
glGetDoublev
just like you got the light's modeview matrix, invert it using the Mat4
invert
function, then call glMultMatrixd
)GL_MODELVIEW
matrix, appropriate textures, etc).gl_TextureMatrix[i]*gl_ModelViewMatrix
and save that in a varying variable. This will convert the points into the shadow map's coordinate system.
Note that just as before, multiplying by gl_ModelView/NormalMatrix
will transform things into eye coordinates, and the lights will be in eye coordinates for lighting calculations.
If then, in your fragment program, you have the resulting varying texture coordinate as shadowTexCoord
and the shadow texture map as a sampler2D
called shadowMap
then reading from the texture using texture2DProj (shadowMap, shadowTexcoord)
, the result will be the following image.
That is, the color that you read out of the texture will be exactly the depth of the nearest occluder of that pixel.
To calculate each pixel's distance from the camera, you can just look at the value shadowTexCoord.z/shadowTexCoord.w
If you render that, you'll end up with an image that looks like
And now, all you need to do is compare those two depth values to determine what is in shadow and what's not.
GLSL makes this a bit easier for us.
We can specify that the depth texture will be used for comparing depth values by setting the following texture parameters using glTexParameteri
when the shadow texture is bound.
GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE
to GL_COMPARE_R_TO_TEXTURE_ARB
will specify that we want to compare texture values to texture R
coordinates (and the R
will be set up to hold the depth value by the function we'll call).GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_FUNC
to GL_LEQUAL
will specify that the comparison function should return 1 when the
texture coordinate is less or equal than the texture value (i.e. when
the object is not in shadow).
To tell GLSL that we're using texture comparison instead of texture mapping, define the shadow map texture as uniform sampler2DShadow shadowMap
instead of uniform sampler2D shadowMap
.
Finally, with all of this set up, calling the function shadow2DProj (shadowMap, shadowTexCoord)
will return a vec4
that is 0 if the object is in shadow in 1 if it is not in shadow.
If you then combine these results with your normal mapping, you can create an image like this, and give John Carmack a run for his money (or something).
One thing that I mentioned earlier was this z-fighting thing.
Calling glPolygonOffset (2, 2)
pushes the scene back by a small epsilon
in the z-buffer before rendering it.
This corresponds to allowing a little bit of wiggle room for the depth
values, so that if they're a little bit off, we err on the side of
assuming that they're not in shadow. If you didn't use glPolygonOffset
then you'll get a kind of gnarly looking image caused by z-fighting as seen below.

We have a large C++ analytical library specialized for research in finance and economics, built for speed and mission critical stability. Yet Python offers us the flexibility to test out new ideas quickly and increase the productivity of our time versus working in C++. There are several key features which make Python stand out. Its elegance, stability, and breadth of resources on the web are all valuable, but the most important is its extensibility, due to its open source transparency. Boost.Python makes Python extensibility extremely simple and straightforward, yet preserves a great deal of power and control.

I would call it a budding/evolving project, since it is currently not in production stage, but rather under heavy development. Python is used as the main scripting/interaction level, but also for rapid prototyping, since the underlying C++ class library is pretty much fully exposed via boost.python (at least the high-level interface). The combined power of C++ and Python for this project turned out to be just awesome.

Lockdown Profiles
A potential for elevation of privileges exists where identity is shared between PDBs, when it needs to be compartmentalized because the individuals using those identities are different and may have different aims or allegiances. Identity can be shared
- at the OS level when the database interacts with OS resources likes files or processes,
- at a network level when the database communicates with other systems and network identity is important, or
- inside the database, as PDBs access or create common objects or communicate across container boundaries using features like Database Links.
A lockdown profile is a declarative way to prevent a PDB to access to the network, administrative features, or common users and objects.
Limiting the access to certain administrative features within a PDB might be desirable for some customers. In this lab, we will examine the effect of a lockdown profile that is intended to prevent any attempt to change the value of the 'cursor_sharing' parameter.
In this section we have 3 labs. In the first one we will disable a statement, followed by disabling the partitioning option in the PDB. Finally we will disable the network access in the PDB.
Lab 1: Lockdown Profiles - Disable Statement 'Alter System'
Lab Details: This lab will help you to disable 'Alter System' statement for 'cursor_sharing' parameter via a lockdown profile.
Database targets to be used: cdb1
Please go through the following steps:
- $ cd /u01/HOL/lockdown_profiles
- $ source cdb1.env
- $ sqlplus /nolog
- SQL> @lab1.sql
In the following table we have listed the various commands executed by the script.

It will format the columns of DBA_LOCKDOWN_PROFILES table so that the available lockdown profiles can be displayed smoothly in the next steps.
|
|

|
SQL> create pluggable database SALES admin user admin identified by oracle12;
|
This will create a PDB named 'SALES' in our CDB.
|
|
5
|
SQL> create lockdown profile p1;
SQL> alter lockdown profile p1 disable statement=('ALTER SYSTEM') clause=('SET') option=('cursor_sharing'); |
A lockdown profile named 'p1' will be created to disable 'alter system' statement and 'set' clause for the option 'cursor_sharing'.
|
|
6
|
SQL> select * from DBA_LOCKDOWN_PROFILES;
|
The current list of lockdown profiles including 'p1' will be displayed.
|
|
7
|
SQL> alter session set container = SALES;
SQL> show parameter cursor_sharing |
You will be connected to the PDB that we created earlier and shown the current value of the parameter 'cursor_sharing'.
|
|
8
|
SQL> alter system set cursor_sharing = FORCE;
|
This will change the value of 'cursor_sharing' to 'FORCE'. However, please remember that the lockdown profile 'p1' is not in use yet.
|
|
9
|
SQL> alter system set pdb_lockdown = p1;
SQL> alter pluggable database close; SQL> alter pluggable database open; |
It will set the current lockdown profile to ‘p1’ and bounce the database in order for the changes to take effect.
|
|
10
|
SQL> alter system set cursor_sharing = EXACT;
|
This time, you will run into the error “ORA-01031: insufficient privileges” since the lockdown profile ‘p1’ is in effect.
|
|
11
|
SQL> alter session set container = cdb$root;
SQL> drop lockdown profile p1; SQL> alter session set container = SALES; SQL> alter pluggable database close; SQL> alter pluggable database open; |
It will connect to the root, drop the lockdown profile ‘p1’, and connect back to the ‘SALES’. In order to see the effect of dropped lockdown profile, it will bounce the database.
|
|
12
|
SQL> alter system set cursor_sharing = EXACT;
|
It will change the value of ‘cursor_sharing’ to ‘EXACT’ since we dropped ‘p1’.
|
|
13
|
SQL> alter pluggable database close;
SQL> exit; |
This final step will close the PDB.
|
Lab 2: Lockdown Profiles – Disable Database Option ‘Partitioning’
Shared identities across PDBs may lead to malicious activities during the operations that are used to administer certain database options such as ‘Partitioning’. In this lab, utilizing the database option ‘Partitioning’ will be illustrated in the existence and absence of a lockdown profile that controls the option.
Lab Details: This lab will help you to disable ‘Partitioning’ option via a lockdown profile.
Database targets to be used: cdb1
Please go through the following steps:
- $ cd /u01/HOL/lockdown_profiles
- $ source cdb1.env
- $ sqlplus /nolog

Lab 3: Lockdown Profiles – Disable Feature ‘NETWORK_ACCESS’
In some cases, customers may want to restrict the operations within a PDB that use the network to communicate outside the PDB. This lab will demonstrate how a lockdown profile can disable the network access features and prevent the outgoing network traffic in a PDB.
Lab Details: This lab will help you to disable ‘NETWORK_ACCESS’ feature via a lockdown profile.
Database targets to be used: cdb1
Please go through the following steps:
- $ cd /u01/HOL/lockdown_profiles
- $ source cdb1.env
- $ sqlplus /nolog
- SQL> @lab3.sql

I smiled, and thought about my own dad's driving. "A different generation, I suppose," I said.
"Exactly, yeah. The thing was, he was a plumber, so he had to go round people's houses, you know, to fix their boilers or whatever—"

Test - Image
Output on Google Lens - Water Bottle
Output on Mobile Net Model - beacon, lighthouse, beacon light, pharos
Result -
This is very interesting... As usual GoogleLens is correct but it seems that MobileNet mistook the image of the bottle for beacon, lighthouse, beacon light, pharos. I feel it happened becuase of of the images similar structure.


To generate the basic skeleton of the project was chosen one of the generators provided in the task description (generator-boom: https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-boom). It was quite useful. Some modifications concerning gulpfile were done. For example, I added gulp-autoprefixer, a powerfool tool to parse CSS and add vendor prefixes to CSS rules using values from Can I Use. Also the folders structure was a bit modified. All custom javascript code is concatenated by gulp into one single file ('build/js/all.js'), third party libraries are concatenated into 'build/bower_bower.js' and 'build/_bower.css' files. (For third party libraries I used bower, for dev-dependencies - npm).
The project has 2 pages (Calculator and About-page), routed by ui-router module. Each of these has it's own template and controller. Simple future volume count algorithm and Server-side connectivity are wrapped into the angular services. The Application has form fields validation, partially realized by angular built-in directives and services, and partially by myself using angular directives.
The application is tested with Jasmine framework using test runner karma. To style the application were used custom stylesheets alongside with bootstrap(angular-bootstrap) tools, which are very useful for fast html application development. For styling I used sass css-preprocessor.

Press release
A range of views are being sought to support the development of a new set of professional standards for teaching assistants.
Teaching professionals, unions, parents and others are from today (28 October 2014) being invited to give their views as part of a nationwide review to create a new set of professional standards for teaching assistants.
Earlier this month a review was launched aimed at replacing the current set of teaching assistant standards with a clearer and more concise version, reflecting the diversity of the existing schools system.
The review, chaired by Kate Dethridge, Principal of Churchend Primary Academy, Reading, will be supported by a panel of experts with a diverse range of expertise. To help the panel develop the new standards, a call for evidence has been launched today inviting headteachers, school governors, teachers, teaching assistants, union representatives, local authorities, parents and other interested parties to submit their views.
Responses will be accepted until November 21 and can be completed online.
The review is expected to report back to the Secretary of State for Education in spring 2015.

The Brexit Party’s contract at a glance
The party has revealed its ‘contract with the people’.
Nigel Farage has laid out the Brexit party’s General Election policies, promising a “political revolution”.
The party’s Contract With The People was unveiled during a speech in Westminster in which Mr Farage promised a “clean break” from all EU institutions.
The 21-page document also contains policies on transport, the environment and business.
Here is an at-a-glance look at the document, which the party says is a contract and not a manifesto.
– Brexit
The Brexit Party promises to deliver “a clean-break Brexit” with no extension of the transition period.
The party has committed to “cracking down on illegal immigration” and to “reduce annual immigration”, with Mr Farage saying in his contract launch speech in London that he would want to cap permanent immigration at 50,000 a year.
The party adds that it will address wage stagnation and the skills gap by introducing a fair points system that is “blind to ethnic origin”, and will always provide a “humane welcome for genuine refugees”.
– Economy
The Brexit Party says it will raise £200 billion by scrapping HS2, keeping the £13 billion annual contribution to the EU, recovering £7 billion from the European Investment Bank and by redirecting 50% of the foreign aid budget (£40 billion over five years).
It promises to invest “at least £50 billion” in local road and rail schemes in “development-starved regions” and to partner with internet service providers to offer free base level domestic broadband in deprived regions and free Wi-Fi on all public transport.
– Tax and Tariffs
The Brexit Party’s contract says it will abolish inheritance tax, cut VAT on fuel bills and will waive corporation tax on the first £10,000 of profits.
It also plans to reduce import tariffs to zero on certain foods, footwear and clothing, and to create freeports in certain regions to “encourage investment and create new jobs”.
The party pledges to “maintain subsidies and grants paid by the EU to UK businesses”, to provide “transitional relief” to key sectors to “ensure a smooth Brexit” and to boost lending to small and medium enterprises.
– Crime
The party says it will increase police numbers, ensure more visible policing, and focus on combating violent crime, robbery and burglary rather than enforcing restrictions on free speech.
Mr Farage’s party pledge to tackle the issues of drug dealing, knife crime and gangs and to “abolish distortive targets” and introduce sentence “ranges” for young offenders, to encourage rehabilitation
– Health
The Brexit Party says it believes in continued investment in the NHS, better management, increasing the number of medical staff and cutting waste.
It promises to keep the NHS publicly-owned and free at the point of use and calls for all politically imposed hospital targets to be abolished.
– Education:
The party promises to abolish both student loan interest and the target to push 50% of young people into Higher Education.
The Apprentice Levy will also be scrapped and tax incentives will be given to employers to entice them to take on “genuine apprentices”.
Mr Farage’s party say it will also “expand parental choice” when it comes to schools, adding that academies and free schools have improved results.
– Housing:
The Brexit Party plans to simplify planning consents for brownfield sites and will change the funding model to make it easier for councils to borrow from central government to build council houses, the document says.
The party adds that it will accelerate infrastructure grants funding and allow more flexibility in the number of affordable homes within a development scheme.
-Environment:
Mr Farage’s party says it will invest £2.5 billion in fishing and coastal communities, adding that a clean-break Brexit would allow the UK to recover control of a 200 mile exclusive economic zone which would create the opportunity to regenerate coastal communities.
The Brexit Party would also make it illegal for waste to be exported across the world to be burnt, buried or dumped at sea.
– Welfare:
The party promises to “revisit” the Universal Credit system and to undertake a 12-month review of it before bringing in reforms within two years.
It says it would support those who have paid into the system with accelerated payment processes and continue to root out fraud.
Mr Farage’s party also promises to “review the position” of women affected by recent rises in the state pension age.
– Defence
The Brexit Party has said it will ensure that the UK maintains its commitment to Nato and meets its promise to spend 2% of GDP on defence “as an absolute minimum”.
– Political Reform
Mr Farage’s party adds that it will reform the voting system, abolish the unelected House of Lords, make MPs who switch parties subject to recall petitions and overhaul the postal voting system to combat fraud and abuse.
It also plans to reform the Supreme Court, make civil servants sign an oath to act with political neutrality and introduce a “Citizens’ Initiative” to trigger a referendum if more than five million people sign a valid register calling for a public vote on a particular issue.


| invoke {rlang} | R Documentation |
Normally, you invoke a R function by typing arguments manually. A
powerful alternative is to call a function with a list of arguments
assembled programmatically. This is the purpose of invoke()
.
invoke(.fn, .args = list(), ..., .env = caller_env(), .bury = c(".fn", ""))
.fn |
A function to invoke. Can be a function object or the
name of a function in scope of |
.args, ... |
List of arguments (possibly named) to be passed to
|
.env |
The environment in which to call |
.bury |
A character vector of length 2. The first string
specifies which name should the function have in the call
recorded in the evaluation stack. The second string specifies a
prefix for the argument names. Set |
Technically, invoke()
is basically a version of base::do.call()
that creates cleaner call traces because it does not inline the
function and the arguments in the call (see examples). To achieve
this, invoke()
creates a child environment of .env
with .fn
and all arguments bound to new symbols (see env_bury()
). It then
uses the same strategy as eval_bare()
to evaluate with minimal
noise.
invoke()
is soft-deprecated in favour of exec()
. Now that we
understand better the interaction between unquoting and dots
capture, we can take a simpler approach in exec()
.
If you need finer control over the generated call, you should construct an environment and call yourself, manually burying large objects or complex expressions.
# invoke() has the same purpose as do.call(): invoke(paste, letters) # But it creates much cleaner calls: invoke(call_inspect, mtcars) # and stacktraces: fn <- function(...) sys.calls() invoke(fn, list(mtcars)) # Compare to do.call(): do.call(call_inspect, mtcars) do.call(fn, list(mtcars)) # Specify the function name either by supplying a string # identifying the function (it should be visible in .env): invoke("call_inspect", letters) # Or by changing the .bury argument, with which you can also change # the argument prefix: invoke(call_inspect, mtcars, .bury = c("inspect!", "col"))

Lab Goals
The primary goal of this exercise is to demonstrate the use of NUnit with Visual Studio. This is a demonstration done by the instructor, but the exercise instructions are listed here in order to perform the tests on your own.
This will go through the process of creating a unit test and run the unit test locally to give you a taste of how unit tests are created and executed. To create unit tests in Visual Studio, we begin by creating a NUnit Library Project. While we often create new solutions for projects, a better idea would be to add a new Test project to an existing solution.
As mentioned in the lecture, there are a few different ways to create unit test projects. Visual Studio has several built-in project templates you can use. Since we are going to be testing business logic in this example, we will use the full NUnit project type.

While we often create new solutions for projects, a better idea would be to add a new Test project to an existing solution.
As mentioned in the lecture, there are a few different ways to create unit test projects. Visual Studio has several built-in project templates for other testing frameworks you can use. Since we are going to be testing business logic with NUnit in this example, we will set up a new class library to use the NUnit framework.
Required Assets
There is a completed version of the solution in the Exercise 1 folder if you'd like to compare your results, or just run the test.
Steps
Lets start by creating the logic for our application by creating a new solution with a single class library in the solution. In this solution we will create a single class library that contains a class that calculates a PERT estimate based on the best case, worst case and expected case of a project task.
-
Create a New Solution with a .NET Standard Class Library as the first project, you can find this template under
C# > .NET Standard > Class Library (.NET Standard). .NET Core > Library > .NET Standard Library. Name it Calculations. -
Rename the single C# source file to PertEstimate.cs. You can do this by right-clicking on the class
file in the Solution Explorer and selecting Rename name and selecting Refactor > Rename . This will also allow you to rename the source file at the same time, which is convenient. -
Add the following static method to the file. This is what we will be testing.
public static double Estimate(double likelyAmount, double bestCaseAmount, double worstCaseAmount) { return (likelyAmount * 4 + bestCaseAmount + worstCaseAmount) / 6; }
-
Next, let's add our unit test project. Right click your solution in Solution Explorer and select Add > New Project.... Next, let's add our unit test project. Right click on your Solution in Visual Studio for Mac and select Add > Add New Project. -
From the Visual C# section select the Class Library (.NET Framework) template. Name it PertTests and add that project to your solution. From the Other > .NET section select the NUnit Library Project and add that project to your solution, name it PertTests. This will create your test project as well as your first test fixture. - To get our new project ready for test use, we need to add two new NuGet packages. Right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages....
- In the Browse section, search for "NUnit" and install the latest NUnit and NUnit3TestAdapter packages. With the right infrastructure packages in place, we can start writing tests.
- Rename the included source file to Test.cs and open it.
- Open the new test projects only class file: Test.cs.
-
Lets create our first unit test to test our
Estimate
functions results. Replace the existing class file's code with this code:using Calculations; using NUnit.Framework; namespace PertTests { [TestFixture] public class TestPertEstimates { [Test] public void PertEstimate_CalculationWithPositiveValues_CheckAccuracyIsSuccess () { // Arrange double likelyAmount = 20; double bestCaseAmount = 12; double worstCaseAmount = 40; double estimatedResult = 22; // Act double actualAmount = PertEstimate.Estimate (likelyAmount, bestCaseAmount, worstCaseAmount); // Assert Assert.AreEqual (estimatedResult, actualAmount); } } }
-
This is a
TestFixture
named TestPertEstimates to indicate the system under test, which this class is intended to test. It has a method with the[Test]
attribute. These attributes tell NUnit (and the Visual Studio Test Explorer) which methods to run as tests. Each method that you add with the[Test]
attribute will automatically become an additional test in your unit test project.You can see that we are following the same model of Arrange > Act > Assert to test that our class follows the core functionality that we need. All your tests should follow this pattern and you should make sure to name your tests appropriately with long, descriptive names so you can tell at a glance what is being tested and what the result should be.
-
Since our test calls the PERT logic in our class library, add a project reference for the test project to use the Calculations project. This will allow us to call the
PertEstimate.Estimate
method.Right-click the References node of your test project in the Solution Explorer and choose Add Reference.... Select Calculations under the Projects section and click OK.
Right-click the References node of your test project in the Solution pad and choose Edit References.... Select Calculations under the Projects tab and click OK.
- Open the Test Explorer from the Visual Studio menu: Test > Windows > Test Explorer.
- Build your PertTests project. If you haven't already built your test project at least once, Test Explorer may not show any tests yet.
- Inside Test Explorer, click Run All to run your new test. (If you have several tests later, you can also select specific tests to run.) Test Explorer should show our PertEstimate_CalculationWithPositiveValues_CheckAccuracyIsSuccess test with a green check indicating the test passed.
-
From the Visual Studio menu select View > Pads > Unit Tests. This will display the Unit Tests in your current solution and give you the ability to run or debug unit tests. You can choose to run all the tests by clicking the Run All option, or to run or debug a single test or the tests in a class or namespace, right click on the option and select Run or Debug.
Note: The Debug choice allows you to debug a test - this can be very helpful when a test is failing and you cannot determine the cause.
- Let's run the test in the Unit Tests tab to see the outcome. Right-click on the Unit Test class in the Unit Tests pad to run the unit test, it should pass and show a green (OK) response.
Summary
Congratulations, you have successfully run and created a unit test with NUnit.

Sunday 8th June 2014 Kitchen vs Table Video Response Whoa! The video has both comforted and scared me witless in equal measures. The EDA experience is clearly designed to be totally immersive in a way that I hadn't fully grasped. Particularly, I hadn't investigated sufficiently to understand how intensive the preparation phase was going to be. Consequently, this first week has been a shock! The sheer volume of work required has me reeling a bit. Having just finished watching the video at mid day on Sunday, I think I probably need time to assimilate it and let it all sink in. There simply isn't time. Which is a bit of a metaphor for the experience so far. A lot of what Shareef said very much resonates with me. I like the inclusive approach, the valuing of all perspectives, the team philosophy and view that it is the relationships with people that is the greater part of being a successful programmer. I found the questions about handling time pressures, workload and learning styles very reassuring. I'll be getting my family to watch the video so that they have some understanding of the philosophy and reason why I will be absent mentally if not physically over the next 3 months. As a more 'mature' participant, I have some insecurities about how I fit this intensive experience into my life. I wonder if my energy levels will cope with the intensity and whether my brain is nimble enough to hold all the new learning. So my determination is to go with the process, stay as open as possible, take whatever I can from the experience and hope that my experience is useful to others. The experience will be a real personal challenge and I am really looking forward to that aspect. I am quite focussed about what I want to get out of it.

This library adds a drag zoom capability to a V3 Google map.
When drag zoom is enabled, holding down a designated hot key (shift | ctrl | alt)
while dragging a box around an area of interest will zoom the map in to that area when
the mouse button is released. Optionally, a visual control can also be supplied for turning
a drag zoom operation on and off.
Only one line of code is needed: google.maps.Map.enableKeyDragZoom();
NOTE: Do not use Ctrl as the hot key with Google Maps JavaScript API V3 since, unlike with V2, it causes a context menu to appear when running on the Macintosh.
Note that if the map's container has a border around it, the border widths must be specified in pixel units (or as thin, medium, or thick). This is required because of an MSIE limitation.
NL: 2009-05-28: initial port to core API V3.
NL: 2009-11-02: added a temp fix for -moz-transform for FF3.5.x using code from Paul Kulchenko (http://notebook.kulchenko.com/maps/gridmove).
NL: 2010-02-02: added a fix for IE flickering on divs onmousemove, caused by scroll value when get mouse position.
GL: 2010-06-15: added a visual control option.
For a description and examples of how to use this library, check out the how-to.
This class represents a drag zoom object for a map. The object is activated by holding down the hot key
or by turning on the visual control.
This object is created when google.maps.Map.enableKeyDragZoom
is called; it cannot be created directly.
Use google.maps.Map.getDragZoomObject
to gain access to this object in order to attach event listeners.
| Events | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
activate |
None |
This event is fired when the hot key is pressed. |
deactivate |
bnds:LatLngBounds |
This event is fired when the hot key is released. The parameter passed is the geographic bounds of the selected area immediately before the hot key was released. |
drag |
southwestPixel:Point, northeastPixel:Point, prj:MapCanvasProjection |
This event is fired repeatedly while the user drags a box across the area of interest.
The southwest and northeast point are passed as parameters of type google.maps.Point
(for performance reasons), relative to the map container. Also passed is the projection object
so that the event listener, if necessary, can convert the pixel positions to geographic
coordinates using google.maps.MapCanvasProjection.fromContainerPixelToLatLng . |
dragend |
bnds:LatLngBounds |
This event is fired when the drag operation ends. The parameter passed is the geographic bounds of the selected area. Note that this event is not fired if the hot key is released before the drag operation ends. |
dragstart |
latlng:LatLng |
This event is fired when the drag operation begins. The parameter passed is the geographic position of the starting point. |
These are new methods added to the Google Maps JavaScript API V3's Map class.
| Methods | Return Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
disableKeyDragZoom() |
None |
Disables drag zoom. |
enableKeyDragZoom(opt_zoomOpts:KeyDragZoomOptions) |
None |
Enables drag zoom. The user can zoom to an area of interest by holding down the hot key
(shift | ctrl | alt ) while dragging a box around the area or by turning
on the visual control then dragging a box around the area. |
getDragZoomObject() |
DragZoom |
Returns the DragZoom object which is created when google.maps.Map.enableKeyDragZoom is called.
With this object you can use google.maps.event.addListener to attach event listeners
for the "activate", "deactivate", "dragstart", "drag", and "dragend" events. |
keyDragZoomEnabled() |
boolean |
Returns true if the drag zoom feature has been enabled. |
This class represents the optional parameter passed into google.maps.Map.enableKeyDragZoom
. There is no constructor for this class. Instead, this class is instantiated as a javascript object literal.
| Properties | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
boxStyle |
Object |
An object literal defining the CSS styles of the zoom box.
Border widths must be specified in pixel units (or as thin, medium, or thick). The default value is {border: "4px solid #736AFF"} . |
key |
string |
The hot key to hold down to activate a drag zoom, shift | ctrl | alt .
NOTE: Do not use Ctrl as the hot key with Google Maps JavaScript API V3 since, unlike with V2,
it causes a context menu to appear when running on the Macintosh. Also note that the
alt hot key refers to the Option key on a Macintosh. The default value is "shift" . |
noZoom |
boolean |
A flag indicating whether to disable zooming after an area is
selected. Set this to true to allow KeyDragZoom to be used as a simple area
selection tool. The default value is false . |
veilStyle |
Object |
An object literal defining the CSS styles of the veil pane which covers the map when a drag
zoom is activated. The previous name for this property was paneStyle but the use
of this name is now deprecated. The default value is {backgroundColor: "gray", opacity: 0.25, cursor: "crosshair"} . |
visualClass |
string |
The name of the CSS class defining the styles for the visual
control. To prevent the visual control from being printed, set this property to the name of
a class, defined inside a @media print rule, which sets the CSS
display style to none . The default value is "" . |
visualEnabled |
boolean |
A flag indicating whether a visual control is to be used. The default value is false . |
visualPosition |
ControlPosition |
The position of the visual control. The default value is google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP . |
visualPositionIndex |
number |
The index of the visual control.
The index is for controlling the placement of the control relative to other controls at the
position given by visualPosition ; controls with a lower index are placed first.
Use a negative value to place the control before any default controls. No index is
generally required. The default value is null . |
visualPositionOffset |
Size |
The width and height values
provided by this property are the offsets (in pixels) from the location at which the control
would normally be drawn to the desired drawing location. The default value is google.maps.Size(35, 0) . |
visualSize |
Size |
The width and height values provided by
this property are the size (in pixels) of each of the images within visualSprite . The default value is google.maps.Size(20, 20) . |
visualSprite |
String |
The URL of the sprite image used for showing the visual control in the on, off, and hot
(i.e., when the mouse is over the control) states. The three images within the sprite must
be the same size and arranged in on-hot-off order in a single row with no spaces between images. The default value is "http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/ftr/controls/dragzoom_btn.png" . |
visualTips |
Object |
An object literal defining the help tips that appear when
the mouse moves over the visual control. The off property is the tip to be shown
when the control is off and the on property is the tip to be shown when the
control is on. The default value is {off: "Turn on drag zoom mode", on: "Turn off drag zoom mode"} . |
