Re: [OT] Text analysis and author, anyone done it?

2011-06-25 Thread Peter Alcibiades
Well just in case anyone ever does need to do it, here are two places to get
started.  One is NLTK - the free Natural Language Toolkit and its associated
free online book Natural Language Processing with Python.  Which appears to
double as a Python tutorial, so its two for one.

http://www.nltk.org/book

Then there is this

http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/web/views/NaturalLanguageProcessing.html

which has a bunch of tools and material in R.  i guess we have all known
that one day it was going to be our painful duty to learn R, but, like St
Augustine, hoped it would not be yet.

[OT] Amiga OS in 2011

2011-06-25 Thread Roger Eller
Richmond and Andre may enjoy this.  I just stumbled across this video, which
is a pretty good history lesson of the many variants of Amiga OS.  Then, at
23 minutes into the video is a short review of some original Amiga
hardware.  I still have my original Amiga 4000 from the 1990's btw.

 It can be done statistically. Various methods have been proposed and used. 
 One general kind of measure is the probability of another word coming, as a
 function of the past n words.  Another is to measure the length of gap
 between occurrences of pairs of a given word.  There is technical literature
 on it, and I guess LC would permit writing something to do it.  Not that its
 the best thing to do it in, that seems to be R, but its what I know.
 
 But it would be nice if someone had already done it, in any language.  Save
 a huge lot of work.
 Peter

Don't know if anyone has already tackled this kind of thing in LC, but it 
should be fairly easy to do. (Whether the algorithms actually work to 
distinguish different authors is something I know nothing about.) The gap 
between pairs of a given word, in particular, is nearly trivial. The question 
would be speed, and since LC is blindingly fast at processing text strings, I'd 
be optimistic about that, unless you're talking really huge texts.

formattedheight and formattedwidth

2011-06-25 Thread Pete
I have a number of cards in the same substack that need to be displayed with
different heights and widths.  In the preOpenStack handlerr, I have:

set the height of this stack to the formattedheight of this card
set the width of this stack to the formattedwidth of this card

The height and width end up several pixels short of what they need to be.
 Adding 10 to the fomattedheight and 20 to the formattedwidth makes things
about right, but

Re: [ANN] New custom control Circular Slider

2011-06-25 Thread SparkOut
I'm getting the same behaviour as AcidJazz - click on a slider and it works,
but never lets go and have to Ctrl+Alt+Del to kill LC in order to get
anything else to respond.

Use the height and width, not the formattedHeight and formattedWidth. 
The formatted measurements only include the smallest area that 
encompasses all the visible objects objects. If the card objects don't 
touch all four sides, the formatted measurements will be smaller than 
the card measurements.

the objectType of me?

2011-06-25 Thread Slava Paperno
I'm looking for the name of the property that states the object's control
type, e.g.

if the controlType of me is button then set cursor to hand

The term controlType exists only in my imagination... what is that
property called, please?

Slava

the objectType of me?

2011-06-25 Thread Slava Paperno
I've discovered that I can use this:

if word 1 of the long name of target is button then...

Is that the way to do it? Seems a bit childish :) There's got to be a
controlType property, no?

Hi Slava,

I believe you're looking for the short name of me or the short name of the 
target is button
