Calculating Angles between connected line segments using MATLAB -


i'm using matlab first time, , have little experience programming.

i have 3 coordinate points connected line segments create sort of zig-zag path. if line segment origin first point extended past first point, need find angle measure line extending first point line extending first point second point. needs done second third point well. i've read solutions of similar questions, wasn't able interpret , modify them situation.

let's coordinates are:

coord = [1 2; 2 4; 1.5 1; 4 2] coord =     1.0000    2.0000     2.0000    4.0000     1.5000    1.0000     4.0000    2.0000

this give following zig-zag pattern:

to find angles of each line segment, can following:

coord_diff = diff(coord) %// find difference between each                           %// coordinate (i.e. line between points)  %// make use of complex numbers. vector  %// given x + i*y, imaginary unit vector = coord_diff(:,1) + 1i * coord_diff(:,2);  line_angles = angle(vector) * 180/pi; %// line angles given in degrees   diff_line_angle = diff(line_angles)   %// difference in angle between each line segment

this gives following angles, upon inspection of graph seems reasonable.

line_angles =        63.4349   -99.4623    21.8014  diff_line_angle =  -162.8973   121.2637

update after comments

coord = [0 0; 3 4; -1 7; 3 10]    coord =      0     0      3     4     -1     7      3    10  coord_diff = diff(coord) %// find difference between each                           %// coordinate (i.e. line between points) coord_diff =      3     4     -4     3      4     3 %// angles of these lines approximately 36.86 , 53.13 degrees  %// make use of complex numbers. vector  %// given x + i*y, imaginary unit vector = coord_diff(:,1) + 1i * coord_diff(:,2);  line_angles = angle(vector) * 180/pi; %// line angles given in degrees line_angles =    53.1301   143.1301    36.8699

i'm not sure how want treat different signs etc., should work:

[90-line_angles(1), arrayfun(@(n) line_angles(n+1)-line_angles(n), ...     1:numel(line_angles)-1)].' ans =    36.8699    90.0000  -106.2602

this simpler, harder adapt in case need change signs or similar:

[90-line_angles(1); diff(line_angles)]

javascript - Jquery show_hide, what to add in order to make the page scroll to the bottom of the hidden field once button is clicked -

i have button on website when clicked, reveals map. button can seen when page first loads up, when clicked, section holding map slides open , goes out of screen since page loads @ top (normal). want page scroll down bottom of div select when button pushed, if map out of screen. if page scrolled down, , clicks show map button, don't want page jump bottom of map. i tried figure out myself, no luck. seasoned jquery coders able give me guidance? many thanks! map = mapdiv.gmap3("get"); infobox = new infobox({ pixeloffset: new google.maps.size(-220, -310), closeboxurl: '', enableeventpropagation: true }); mapdiv.delegate('.infobox .close','click',function () { infobox.close(); }); jquery(".slidingdiv").hide(); jquery(".show_hide").show(); jquery('.show_hide').click(function(){ lastcenter=map.getcenter(); jquery(".slidingdiv...

python - Django-cities exits with "killed" -

i trying install django-cities on server 500mb ram. whenever run: manage.py cities the system exits saying killed. trying run: manage.py cities --import=country --force worked, guessing matter of running out of memory. to bypass, tried refer package local copy of cities' data file. still didn't work. any ideas on how can migrate data without having increase memory on server? based on suggestion comments, solved setting temporary swap file. if unfamiliar it, can follow these steps: set swap file touch /var/swap.img chmod 600 /var/swap.img set swap file size cd /var dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000 this create 1gb swap file. prepare disk image mkswap /var/swap.img activate swap memory swapon /var/swap.img once done, can turn off swap image: swapoff /var/swap.img more information on virtual memory , swap files can found here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-virtual-me...

python - How to get a widget position inside it's layout in Kivy? -

i have gridlayout , added image widgets on after adding of images want draw rectangle in each image using canvas couldn't because don't know exact image widgets positions on gridlayout. code: http://paste.ofcode.org/3bdp9yhjrcrzmsztbu9hqp4 http://paste.ofcode.org/3az3gx4fxzr9dlhe2ami97c in last line of python code : rectangle(pos = (child.x - 2.4, child.y + 467), size = (70, 70)) how draw rectangle in child(my method not good^), also why gridlayout not coming in center after setting it's pos_hint = {"center_x" : .5}? if understand question right, try use such methods to_local() , to_parent() , to_widget() , to_window() . try substract position of gridlayout widgets' positions.
