I am trying to align three 3D scans of a bucket in Meshlab. I open the PLY files and click Align, then set one file as base mesh and then choose one of the other files and click Point Based Glueing. This should open up a split view of the two scans that allows me to pick four points. However, I only get the different scans on top of each other and not the split view. This makes it impossible to pick four corresponding points on the different scans - how do I get the split view? I work on a Macbook Air 11 inc from mid 2013.
I don't believe you can split the view with the Align tool.
For aligning multiple layers, you can make only the base layer and layer you want to align visible in the Align Tool Window. Select the layer you want to align and locate 4 points. Align. Then make the next layer you want to align visible and repeat the process.
After trying the current release and latest beta, I sadly gave up and went back to the last version available on sourceforge (1.33).

I am trying to build a custom control which can draw the outline and pins of an integrated circuit.
At present I am using 2 frames, one holding a panel which will represent the package outline. THis frame will be place on a form. The other frame will represent a pin which will contain a shape to represent the pin and two labels, one for pin number one for pin description. My plan is to create the pins dynamically according to package aspect ratio and number of pins.
Are frames a good basis for this or are there better alternatives.
A frame is a good starting point but is heavy. Probably the best solution is to build a custom control. As ancestor, you could start either with TGraphicControl or TWinControl depending on the features you need. Read the documentation to select the best fit for your case.
TCustomControl which derive from TWinControl is a good ancestor for controls that wrap Windows screen objects but perform their own rendering.
The documentation I linked above gives examples of controls.
I am working on a react native application, where I have user "react-native-masonry-brick-list" library for brick view, data is arranged in brick view if user set size of articles in predefine manner, such as I have consider 4 view ratio, which are 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%.
if user pass 1st article 25%, and 2nd article 75%, than 3rd article 100% and son on, than list will be in proper manner.
whereas if user randomly set size than there will be some space left.
how to arrange data in such manner that there only remain space left in last block.
example of predefine size in brick
randomly set size for brick, there is space left in brick
randomly arrange data
AS you have used react-native-masonry-brick-list library, it has no option of arranging random data in brick format, you can opt for two options,
fetch data on app than apply sorting over it or
by applying sorting at your backend
this will be a temporary fix
We make images like the following in Excel. The raw image is imported and positioned in the generally correct area within the annotations, which are themselves images linked to ranges, the contents of which differ depending on selections made by the user.
The absolute position and dimensions of each annotation must be adjusted manually for every image. The number of sample names can vary (up to 12 lanes of samples). The size ladder on the left can also vary depending on the size of the protein being analyzed.
After everything is correctly sized and aligned, the range containing the raw image + annotations is copied and saved as a jpg (which is then imported into an Access database).
Though we've automated some parts of this with VBA, the process of tweaking every image (widths of columns, text size, position of size ladder, etc.) can get very tedious. Surely there is some software out there that will make this process more efficient. It takes one of our staff members hours to adjust and finalize about 10-20 of these images.
Any recommendations are welcomed.
This procedure is called electrophoresis. Samples (in this case proteins) are loaded into a polyacrylamide gel (each sample in its own "lane") and pulled through the gel with electricity. This process separates all of the proteins in each lane by size and charge.
The "ladder" is a solution of various proteins of known size. It's used to determine the sizes of the proteins in the other lanes.
The image on the left contains the range of sizes in the ladder (in this case 10, 15,...150, 200). Each "step" in the ladder image is aligned with the black bands that appear in the ladder lane in the experiment (the actual ladder lane that contains the black bands is not present in this case...it's cropped post-alignment to improve the overall look of the image).
The images on the right are protein names and point to the location on the gel where that particular protein should appear. The protein Actin, for example, is supposed to come out at around 42 kilodaltons. The fact that there is a prominent black band in that location is good supporting evidence that this sample contains Actin protein.
Many gels will also describe the sample source at the top or the bottom. So, for example, if the sample in lane 1 was derived from mouse liver cells, lane 1 would be annotated as "mouse liver."
The raw image is captured in the lab and is saved as a jpg. This jpg is then manually copied directly into an Excel sheet, where extraneous parts of the image are cropped. The cropped image is then moved to within the area of the worksheet that contains the annotations (ladder, protein names, sample names). These annotations are themselves images (linked to other ranges in the workbook that change with every experiment...protein names, samples names, ladder type can be different for every experiment). These annotation images require fine positioning in each case (as described previously) to align with the lanes and with the protein sizes. Once everything is aligned, it is saved as a jpg and moved into Access.
My question is...Is there software already out there designed specifically for tasks like these? Just as Excel is not a database program, it is also not an image annotation program. I want to know if there is an application out there, ready to go, that is specifically designed to annotate images with elements that can vary from image to image.
Of course, there will still be a need for manually moving elements around the image to get everything aligned (I'm not looking for a miracle here). I'm thinking that there has to be something better than Excel for this.
I've been trying different tiling WM's to see which one best fits my needs. Every time I try a new one, it looks good but I find other things that don't quite work the way I like. My requirements have evolved as I go. Initially, I didn't want to get into Awesome because having to learn Lua is not on my wish list but maybe I should give it a try IF it can do what I want better than the other tiling WM's out there.
I'm going to as specific as I can about what I want. I am running a 3440x1440 monitor. I want to use as much vertical space as possible (meaning, a full width, persistent but mostly empty status bar is not an option, but I do like the notification area and a date/time).
I understand it may not do everything exactly the way I want, which is oke. If it does more or less most of what I want I can weigh my options between Awesome and other tiling WM's (actually, only i3 which is what I'm using now but I'm open to better suggestions). I would very much appreciate it if people don't just say no to something it can't do, but say "no, but it can do ...". In other words, feel free to suggest alternatives that might be helpful as well.
Divide the screen in 3 columns, initially 30/45/25, with the right column split horizontally; Fully adjustable and resizable as needed during my work session;
Persistent layout; when closing the last application in a tile, I don't want that tile to disappear and the remaining tiles to resize. Just show an empty space and leave all tiles as they are.
tabbed tiles, so I see which applications are running in a tile (similar to i3).
Resizable tiles with the keyboard into 1 direction; When making the middle column/tile wider, I want that into a specific direction into another tile and leave the other side alone.
Certain applications I want to always launch into a specific tile. For instance, terminals always go into the right-most column top/bottom, browser/spotify always into the middle, atom/IDE always into the left. Some applications should always be floating. Obviously I want to be able to send them to a different tile after launch.
I don't want a 100% width status bar. It will be mostly empty which is a waste of screen estate. Preferably, I'd like a statusbar part of a tile, for example in the right-most tile, resizing with it. Otherwise I'd like it to be fixed to 30% and allow tiles which are not beneath it to use the full height of the screen. My reason for a statusbar is mute; I actually only want a notification area and a date time permanently visible. I don't need a "start menu", dmenu or similar is perfect, which I believe it has integrated.
Many thanks in advance!
The general answer is "Awesome configuration is code and it can do whatever you want". But there is a catch. Can Awesome be configured like you describe? Yes, totally. There is at least 2 distributions coming close enough (mine[1] and worron[2]) (at least for the tiling workflow, not the look).
The "catch" is that the workflow you describe isn't really the "Awesome way". Awesome is usually used as an automatic tiler. You have layouts that describe a workflow (code, web, internet) and manage the clients according to their programming. Manual tile management is rarely necessary once you have proper layouts. That doesn't mean you can't, I did, but it might be worth thinking outside the box and see if you can automate your workflow a bit further.
Also, the default layout system isn't very modern and makes it hard to implement the features you requested. My layout system (see link below) can be used as a module or as a branch and supports all features described above. Awesome is extremely configurable and it's components can be replaced by modules.

The layout "serialization" documentation is here:
https://elv13.github.io/libraries/awful.layout.html#awful.layout.suit.dynamic.manual
It is similar to i3 but has more layouts and containers. As for the "leaving blank space" part, it is configured using the fill_strategy:
https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.layout.ratio.html#wibox.layout.ratio.inner_fill_strategy
As a word of conclusion, I would note that what you ask is "work exactly like i3". If you want such thing, well, use i3. Awesome is a window manager framework. Its goal and purpose is to create a customized desktop shell / WM. If it's what you want, then go ahead and learn it, nothing else can come close to the possibility and the level of control you can get out of it. However it takes time and effort to get to the point where you have "your own perfect desktop". Our users perfect desktops:

The WM your are looking for is herbstluftwm (hlwm). Its a manual tiling window manager. The tiles which you are talking about are called frames in hlwm. Each frame can contain multiple windows. A frame can also be empty. Only if you kill a frame the other frames will automatically resize. You can add new frames vertically and horizontally and resize them. Each frame can also have a different layout to organize the windows inside. The layout you are looking for is max. This will stack the windows inside a frame on each other. It doesn't show you tabs like i3 however. hlwm allows you to create rules to open certain applications always in certain frames and workspaces. hlwm doesn't have a statusbar buildin. I personally like to use tint2. It can be used as a replacement for your requirement to see running applications as tabs.
I have a lot of data to plot in a single plot window and it looks really ugly and not understandable. Moreover legends are coming on to the curves which make curves unreadable. I cannot put curve alone one by one into my latex report which makes it again difficult to maneuver between the plots.
My question is- can't it be possible to put all the curves in single plot generated from gnu plot which can be easily maneuver back and forth in a single plot window the latex report?
I know a bit about tikz pictures where no of frameworks can be easily accessible in single plot.
can't it be used for a whole curves one by one assuming as different frame work. and at last all the plots in the the plot window.
It would be very helpful if is possible so.
I have data with N rows and M columns in it. I need plots of N rows vs. each column separately to be shown in each frame in Latex generated report and in the last frame all the curves should be present. I need a proper procedure to follow to animate the curves.
Yes, this kind of thing can be done with the animate package in latex. I have successfully used it in the past for presentations that I put together with beamer. You could switch between different gnuplot graphs that are loaded into the animateinline environment, but you can also use pgfplots within tikz to modify the plot directly on your latex document without need for an external plot.
Using animate requires investing a bit of time at the beginning but the results can be very nice. Also, Okular (and I'm guessing other PDF viewers as well) seem to have trouble visualizing the animations but Adobe reader (acroread on linux) loads them without problems.
As an example, you can check a 5-minute presentation I put together last year: in slides 4 and 5 you can use the buttons to run the animation. The one in slide 4 includes plotting a gaussian with pgfplots changing the curve parameters between frames. You need to open it with the Adobe reader for it to play correctly.
