Re: [racket-users] Re: How to draw a 3D ball?

2015-07-20 Thread Mianlai Zhou
Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I meant the former, i.e., a 2D pict of a ball with
some shading to make it look 3D.
Is there any quick way to do it or I have to implement the algorithm by
myself?

Thanks again.

 By 3D ball do you want a 2D pict of a ball with some shading to make it
 look 3D, or a 3D model of a ball? If it's the latter you can use the pict3d
 package (raco pkg install pict3d):


 (require pict3d)
 (sphere origin 1)

 If you do this in DrRacket, the repl will show a window with a 3D ball
 model in it. You can click it and use the arrow keys to change the angle
 and position you view the ball from.

 I think you want to make the panel have a non-stretchable height:

  (define my-pane (new horizontal-pane%
   [parent my-frame]
   [alignment '(center center)]
   [stretchable-height #f]))

[racket-users] drawing with canvas

2015-06-22 Thread Mianlai Zhou
Hi people,

I am wondering why this segment of code failed to work:

; don't work
#lang racket

(require slideshow racket/class racket/gui/base)

(define my-frame (new frame% [label my frame]
 [width 300] [height 300]
 [alignment '(center center)] ))

(define my-canvas
  (new canvas% [parent my-frame]
  ))

(define my-dc (send my-canvas get-dc))

(draw-pict (circle 60) my-dc 40 40)


(send my-frame show #t)

While the following codes *do* work:

; do work
#lang racket

(require slideshow racket/class racket/gui/base)

(define my-frame (new frame% [label my frame]
 [width 300] [height 300]
 [alignment '(center center)] ))

(define my-canvas
  (new canvas% [parent my-frame]
   [paint-callback (lambda (self dc)
  (draw-pict (circle 60) dc 40 40)

   )]
  ))

(send my-frame show #t)

Is there anyway to avoid using redefining paint-callback to draw one or more
pictures on the canvas, as in the first example?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Mianlai

 Hi Matthias,

 Thanks for answer. However, this is not what I wanted:

 I want to persist that I can write the code below (where define can be
 changed to other name):

 (define (f #t) 2)
 (define (f #f) 3)
 (define (f _) 0)

 to do what I want to do.

 So how should I define my define in order to do it? Your answer is
 perfect but it is a different form
 from my original code above.

 Could you give me an answer? Thanks.
