How about a list of coordinates and alist of walls? <wall id="A" fromVertex="AE" to Vertex="AB"> <wall id="B" x1="0" y1="5000" x2="4000" y2="5000"> <wall id="C" x1="4000" y1="5000" x2="4000" y2="1500"> <wall id="D" x1="0" y1="0" x2="3500" y2="0"> <wall id="E" x1="3500" y1="0" x2="4000" y2="1500"> (The angled wall)
<vertex id="EA" x="3500" y="0" /> <vertex id="AB" x="0" y="5000" /> ect On 9/18/07, Adam Dorritie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 9/18/07, oneproofdk <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mark%40koalit.dk>> wrote: > > I'm looking for help on how to "describe" a physical room in a xml > > file - so I can draw it in a flex container later. > > > > The task is to be able to describe any room for, where there can be x > > walls and x angles. > > > > One room can be very simple, has 4 walls, no funny angles etc. > > Se illustration here : http://koalit.dk/flex/room0.jpg > > So I need only to store 2 values (I guess) > > <wall name="A" length="5000"/> > > <wall name="B" length="6500"/> > > > > But what when the rooms suddenly has multiple walls and angles: > > http://koalit.dk/flex/room1.jpg - http://koalit.dk/flex/room2.jpg - > > http://koalit.dk/flex/room3.jpg > > Perhaps I'm oversimplifying the problem, but I would think that you > could solve this by using pairs of x,y coordinates for each line > (wall), couldn't you? > > For example, room 3 might look like > > <wall id="A" x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="5000"> > <wall id="B" x1="0" y1="5000" x2="4000" y2="5000"> > <wall id="C" x1="4000" y1="5000" x2="4000" y2="1500"> > <wall id="D" x1="0" y1="0" x2="3500" y2="0"> > <wall id="E" x1="3500" y1="0" x2="4000" y2="1500"> (The angled wall) > > Just a thought. > > Adam > > -- Giles Roadnight 0797 4340702 http://giles.roadnight.name
