I recently attended a lecture where the speaker's slide show had a header through the entire presentation showing the high level grouping of the slides and with a dot representing how far through the overall presentation we were. I liked this style a lot and am now trying to emulate it but cannot seem to find any tutorials or even come up with the right keywords to search on this. is there a specific name for this and how do i accomplish this in PowerPoint or Google slides preferably.
Try searching on
powerpoint breadcrumb
i corresponded with the presenter who i was trying to emulate and am going to consider this case closed because they used beamer and latex to make the slides which is how the header with "section dots" was generated. in case anyone is wondering they used the theme warsaw and the final result should look something like this example: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=23331 but with all the sections and section dots being there and cycled through as you click through your presentation.
I made a little PowerPoint Add- In to generate a quick Breadcrumb header for your slides. You still have to set the colors, but it's really fast if you don't want to use the Master:

I am using the latest swiftui and would like to know if it is possible to create drag & drop boundaries based on color?
I already created a drag & drop with rotation, pinching, etc. But would like to be able to create regions where you can drop into.
Thanks
Yes it is! It's a great idea, and I think you should pursue it.
As it stands there's a hundred different ways to go about things. Spend some time thinking about how you would want it to work, then just take baby steps. You've already covered a lot of the ground work by implementing rotation and pinching.
Write some code (in a playground so you get instant feedback) that does some simple drag and drop work. Add in a line of code that turns the background a different color or changes its opacity when you let go/lift your finger.
Those types of incremental changes are well documented and you will be able to google them quickly. I think it's a great sign that you haven't found ready made examples. It means you are thinking outside the box.
This is an opportunity for you to think like a developer and a designer. If you post your results somewhere or release a project on GitHub at some point, others will be able to find your work using the same search criteria you used when you didn't find any results.
If you get stuck, post the code the code that has you baffled, and I'm sure you get help on this site. Best of luck 🍀
I have a page for a real estate website with a list of all of the companies properties. Within each listing, there is a slider with ~50 images of that property.
DEMO: http://lexis250.github.io/groupecopley/properties/
The site is built with Jekyll and Foundation.
The problem is that this page is extremely heavy to load. I would like to implement a lazy load so the images are only loaded when they are requested. What is the most efficient way to go about doing this?
Code base on github:
https://github.com/lexis250/groupecopley
If I need to provide more information please let me know. I am a beginner.
You can implement this using a combination of pagination and lazy loading. You can place 5 or 10 sliders on a page. Then each slider can use lazy loading to load images. As suggested in the comments as well look into slick here: http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/
Scroll down on the link you will see a feature for lazy loading along with code.
Edit:
You can also look into image compression and optimizing websites by gzip compression. Gzip compression is explained here: http://betterexplained.com/articles/how-to-optimize-your-site-with-gzip-compression/
Any advice on how to create a simple help menu with Qt? I could not really find anything interesting in the examples.
What I have in mind is nothing too fancy like a whole window that looks like a web browser with a search engine, I just want to write few paragraphs, but maybe starting with links to each paragraph at the top, really like a basic web FAQ.
Thanks in advance!
If you want to implement it yourself, there are a number of ways.
That might be an overkill, but you can make your help as a number of local HTML pages which have links to each other, and use QWebView to show them to the user.
A simpler method would be to use a list or articles with search:
QListWidget to hold the names of the articles. When the user clicks one, you will open it.
QLineEdit with a QCompleter attached to search through this list (by article name, nothing too complicated).
QTextBrowser to display the article. Remember that QTextBrowser can render HTML, so you can make the articles look fancy.
You can use Qt Help Framework. If you aren't searching for a complex help system you may use a QTextEdit with HTML or you can give a link to an online documentation in your program's menus.
I'm developing a web portal that mostly works like a newspaper site. In the focus, there are articles, containing text, videos and images. These articles have attachments which shall be presented in a sidebar. These attachments might be the same objects that will be displayed within the body text.
I have been thinking a lot about how to create the structure and - and this is a major point - how to enable the editor to edit all this stuff comfortably.
What I evaluated were Django-CMS and feincms as complete systems, and several third-party-modules that do snippets of the work.
Now, I a have solution for inline objects: I forked the inline-module of django-basic-apps which is now able to take additional parameters for the objects to embed. Their parameters are an important thing to e.g. embed "an image with object id x, but max x pixels in size".
What is not solved with my approach is, to generate a sidebar containing a bunch of inline tokens. I could create a custom widget for this, though. A better solution would surely be to add a functionaly like somehow attaching generic objects (videos, images...) to an article object.
While my solution is working so far, I'm not sure if there are other ways to solve these common scenario, and I would like to hear some other experiences about this topic, and if there are any other ways you deal with it.
For there does not seem to be a bigger need of a solution for this generic problem, I will use my solution and see whether it proves in practice.
Take a look at Armstrong CMS. It's specifically designed to meet the needs of news organizations. It was developed out of the code that powers The Texas Tribune, a very large Django news site that won the Edward R. Murrow Award for best local news website in 2010.
Armstrong scales very well, is fast and can handle just about any kind of content you want to throw at it.
I am doing some web data classification task and was thinking if I could get the co-ordinates of html elements as they would appear on a web-browser without taking into consideration any css or javascript being referred in the web page.
My language of programming is c++ and the need results for a couple million of pages, so it has to be fast. I know there is a Microsoft COM component which renders the page in a web browser control and then can be queried for position of different html tags. But this is not suitable in my case as it first renders the whole page which takes up a lot of time.
So as I found out, there are open-source layout engines WebKit, Gecko that can probably be used for this. But that's a huge piece of code and I need someone to direct me to the right classes or right modules to look into or any previous/similar work someone has done previously. Also, please let me know what you guys think is a good choice if I want to customize the existing code for use with multiple threads to make it faster.
Thanks
Generally, you would find that different page rendering engines do render the html in their own way and the results will differ.
The thing is that if you stick to any concrete browser engine, what you are to do is somehow bringing this engine into your project and using engine's interface to retrieve these coordinates. Kind of a tough task though, simply because you'll have to read a lot of documentation and crawl through thousands of files.
I think that right approach would be posting this task in some place, that is specific for the page rendering engine you've chosen. (gecko/webkit/...)
If you prefer sticking to something MS-specific, guess it's gonna be easier, but can't help you with something like class names or code chunks that you want to see. Probably somebody else could guide you in this case.
