python - how to find a selected vert's symmetrical pair on a maya mesh -


what best (fastest) method find given vertex's symmetrical pair (ie , vert on left side of mesh , right hand side equivalent) possible use open maya api in python or there better way?

you don't want check position of every vert against every other on , over, extremely slow.

a simple approach hash value - simple comparison operation - every vertex identical 2 verts symmetrical. luckily tuples - not lists!! - hashable. algorithm be:

  1. get position tuple each vert
  2. make dictionary (position: vertex) verts on 'left' (or 'up' or 'back' etc) side.

  3. make second dictionary (position: vertex) verts on opposite side, symmetry axis flipped: if doing left/right axis, left list 

    { (x, y, z) : "pcube1.vtx[0]" }  #etc

    and right list 

    { (-1 * x, y, z) : "pcube1.vtx[99]" } # , on

  4. any key duplicated in both dictionaries symmetrical, need collect keys show in both , verts each side represent:

    duplicates = [j j in leftdictionary if j in rightdictionary] pairs = [leftdictionary[k], rightdictionary[k] k in keys]

this won't super fast on big meshes should trick.

the 1 place may have issues if there floating point discrepancies between sides items visually symmetrical may not mathematically symmetrical. modify match numbers withing given tolerance by, say, quantizing values put tuples -- easy way blow them factor, 1000, , turn them integers. raw method errs on side of missing things symmetrical aren't exactly, quantized method may collapse multiple matches if close. i'd stick raw data unless it's failing need.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod...

ios - Change Storyboard View using Seague -

i have following code checks connection server, , depending on want change views if no connection found. nsstring *connect = [nsstring stringwithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://myserver.com"] encoding:nsutf8stringencoding error:nil]; if (connect == null) { [self performseguewithidentifier:@"network_failure" sender:self]; } else { // other code here } my problem not change views. have added storyboard segue between 2 views identifier of network_failure . not have navigation controller or that, problem? thanks help! no not problem. first of all, in objectivec exists nil object oriented null . must use that. so: if(connect == nil) or better: if(!connect) so due fact nil not same of null , probably code does't enter in if scope . you have been able discover breakpoint. anyway: be sure set trigger segue (line) 2 view controller , , name network_failure (that not best name. should instead view1toview2 ) as, m...
