I'm a noob right now with pygame and I was wondering how to load a textfile, then strip that into a a single line. I believe that i would need to use the .rstrip('/n') function on my variable with the openned text file. But now, how do I turn this into a list? If I intentionally used two colons (::) to separate between my relevant pieces of information in the text file, how do I make it into a list with each list index being the contents in between two sets of ::? The purpose is to create save files in a menu GUI when closed, so is there a simpler way to save and open the contents of variables from one instance of the program to the next?
>>> "foo::bar::baz".split("::")
['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
If you just want to save structured data, however, you might want to look at either the pickle or json libraries. Both of them give ways to dump Python objects to files and then load them back out again.

I am a relatively new user of Tabulator so please forgive me if I am asking anything that, perhaps, should be obvious.
I have a Tabulator report that I am able to print and create as a PDF, but the report's formatting (as shown on the screen) is not used in either output.
For printing I have used printAsHtml and printStyled=true, but this doesn't produce a printout that matches what is on the screen. I have formatted number fields (with comma separators) and these are showing correctly, but the number columns should be right-aligned but all of the columns appear as left-aligned.
I am also using Tree View where the tree rows are coloured differently to the main table, but when I print the report with a tree open it colours the whole table with the tree colours and not just the tree.
For the PDF none of the Tabulator formatting is being used. I've looked for anything similar to the printStyled option, but I can't see anything. I've also looked at the autoTable option, but I am struggling to find what to use.
I want to format the print and PDF outputs so that they look as close to the screen representation as possible.
Is there anywhere I could look that would provide examples of how to achieve the above? The Tabulator documentation is very good, but the provided examples don't appear to explain what I am trying to do.
Perhaps there are there CSS classes that I am missing or even mis-using? I have tried including .tabulator-print-table in my CSS, but I am probably not using it correctly. I also couldn't find anything equivalent for producing PDFs. Some examples would help immensely.
Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance.
Formatting is deliberately not included in these, below i will outline why:
Downloaders
Downloaded files do not contain formatted data, only the raw data, this is because a lot of the formatters create visual elements (progress bar, star formatter etc) that cannot be replicated sensibly in downloaded files.
If you want to change the format of data in the download you will need to use an accessor, the accessorDownload option is the one you want to use in this case. The accessors transform the data as it is leaving the table.
For instance we could create an accessor that prepended "Mr " to the front of every name in a column:
var mrAccessor= function(value, data, type, params, column, row){
return "Mr " + value;
}
Assign it to a columns definition:
{title:"Name", field:"name", accessorDownload:mrAccessor}
Printing
Printing also does not include the formatters, this is because when you print a Tabulator table, the whole table is actually rebuilt as a standard HTML table, which allows the printer to work out how to layout everything across multiple pages with column headers etc. The downside of this is that it is only loosely styled like a Tabulator and so formatted contents generated inside Tabulator cells will likely break when added to a normal td element.
For this reason there is also a accessorPrint option that works in the same way as the download accessor but for printing.
If you want to use the same accessor for both occasions, you can assign the function once to the accessor option and it will be applied in both instances.
Checkout the Accessor Documentation for full details.
I've created a model with Uppaal in which several integer variables change over the course of time. Now I would like to save the values of the variables during the modelling process somewhere (best in xml or a text file). In the Uppaal documentation (https://www.it.uu.se/research/group/darts/uppaal/documentation.shtml) I found the method in point 13 (How do I export and interpret the traces from Uppaal?) and tried the Java API way already, in the hope that it can output the variables as well as the traces. Unfortunately this method seems to be limited to traces. Does anyone know a method to save the variable values from Uppaal?
Hopeful greetings,
Josi
Solution from the comments.
to export the variable value tractory over time, one may use SMC query in the verifier.
For example:
Typeset the following query: simulate 1 [<=300] { Gate.len }
Click Check
Right-click on the query, and from the popup menu choose Simulations (1)
Observe a new window popup with a plot
Right-click on the plot and choose Export Comma Separated Values
Follow the save file dialog and observe the resulting file to contain time and value sequence.
Note that SMC assumes that all channels are broadcast and there are no deadlocks.
Hi all, I'm *very* new at the whole programming thing, but I really like it. Sorry if I do not have enough details
So pretty much, I have excel files that have columns with numbers ( I can't post a picture because I don't have 10 reputations yet.
I've been searching for a couple days and I haven't really found an answer to this. I was wondering if there is a way that I could either create multiple arrays from the file - I know we can't make matrices like matlab - that have the numbers in each column, i.e.
float numbers[] = {1.3, 1.2, 4.2};
Or create the excel file with numbers (the iWork version of excel), and import the numbers file into the xcode project and from there create the arrays
The issue I have is that there's around a thousand numbers so copying it one by one is extremely time consuming
sorry if this is confusing, please let me know if there's anything else I should add as information
There's two easy ways to do this, even if you are a beginner.
Open MS Excel, input your values, save excel document as .CSV file.
Then grab an objective-c CSV converter like this one here in github and you are done.
The second way, you could declare an array of numbers (in example, 'float matrix[5][5];') and use it however you see fit.
I've done both of my suggestions in seperate projects and both work very well. I used the first method for a 15 page excel document that I needed to use in my app, the second method I used in another app that I needed to constantly change the contents of the 2d array.
Once you declare the 'float matrix[5][5]' this is a 5x5 matrix (a.k.a. table) you can use it however you want. You could have the first array be the column and the second array be the row.
You mean generate objective-C source from a .csv file? One way to do this would be to use a scripting language like Perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my #numbers = ();
while (<>) {
chomp;
push #numbers, $_;
}
my $numbers = join(', ', #numbers);
print qq(float numbers[] = {$numbers};\n);
This assumes that your .csv file (say foo.csv) has numbers in the first column and nothing else. If the file contains:
1.5
2.5
18842984
-4
And you pipe it to the script (foo.pl in this example):
cat foo.csv | perl foo.pl
It will output this:
float numbers[] = {1.5, 2.5, 18842984, -4};
Is that what you're trying to do?
I am making an app that lets the user draw on the screen in different colors and brush sizes. I am storing the info about each drawn path in a JSON file once it has been drawn to keep it out of memory. Right now I have it parsing all existing paths, then adding the new one in and writing it all back out again. I want it to simply append the new data into the JSON file without having to read it in and parse it first, that will make it so only one path is ever in memory at a time.
I am using SBJSON, the JSONWriter has a few append functions but I think you need to have the JSON string to append it to first, not the file, meaning I would have to read in the file anyway. Is there a way to do this without reading in the file at all? I know exactly how the data is structured.
It's possible, but you have to cheat a little. You can just create a stand-alone JSON document per path, and append that to the file. So you'll have something like this in your file:
{"name":"path1", "from": [0,3], "to":[3, 9]}
{"name":"path2", "from": [0,3], "to":[3, 9]}
{"name":"path3", "from": [0,3], "to":[3, 9]}
Note that this is not ONE JSON document but THREE. Handily, however, SBJsonStreamParser supports reading multiple JSON documents in one go. Set the supportMultipleDocuments property and plug it into a SBJsonStreamParserAdapter, and off you go. This also has the benefit that if you have many, many paths in your file as you can start drawing before you're finished reading the whole file. (Because you get a callback for each path.)
You can see some information on the use case here.
I'm pretty sure its not possible...what I ended up doing was reading in the JSON file as a string then instead of wasting memory changing all that into Dictionaries and Arrays, I just looked for an instance of part of the string (ex: i wanted to insert something before the string "], "texts"" showed up) where I wanted to insert data and inserted it there and wrote it back out to file.
As far as I can tell this is the best solution.
I'm using Doxygen to generate documentation for my code. I need to make a PDF version of this and using Doxygen's LaTeX output appears to be the way to do it.
However I've run into a number of annoying problems, and not knowing anything about LaTeX previously haven't really got much of an idea on how to approach them, and the countless references for LaTeX related things are not much help...
I worked out how to create a custom style thing in a sty file and how to get Doxygen to use it. After a lot of searching I found out how to set the page margins etc. through this, and I'm guessing the perhaps this is the file I want for doing the other things I want, but I cant seem to find any commands for doign what I want :(
The table of contents at the start of the document contains a lot of items Id rather it didn't as it makes the contents very long. Is there some way to limit this contents to just say the first two levels, rather than having entries for every single individual function, variable, etc.? Id quite like to keep all the bookmarks however. I did try the "COMPACT_LATEX" option but as well as removing items on the contents pages, it removed the bookmarks and the member lists at the start of each section, which I do really want to keep.
Is there a way to change the order of things, like putting the full class description at the start of the section, rather than after all the members and attributes?
Wow, that's kind of evil of Doxygen.
Okay, to get around the tocdepth counter problem, add the following line to your .sty file:
\AtBeginDocument{\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}}% or whatever level you want
You can set the PDF bookmarks depth to a separate value:
% requires you \usepackage{hyperref} first
\hypersetup{
bookmarksdepth = section, % of whatever level you want
}
Also note that if you have a list of figures/tables, the tocdepth must be at least 2 for them to show up.
I don't see any way of rearranging those items within the LaTeX files---Doxygen just barfs them out there, so we can't do much. You'll have to poke around the Doxygen documentation to see if there's any way to specify the order I guess. (Here's hoping!)
You're so close.
Googling on "latex contents level" brought me to LaTeX - customizing the depth of the table of contents for different parts of the thesis which suggests
\setcounter{tocdepth}{n}
where n starts at zero for only the highest level division. This is presumable defined in all the default styles, but is worth a try in doxygen.
You could write a Perl/Awk script to simply delete the unwanted lines from the table of contents. For the file burble.tex, Latex will generate the file burble.toc, which will contain lines such as:
\contentsline {subsection}{Class F rewrites}{38}
\contentsline {subsection}{Class M rewrites}{39}
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {7}Definition and properties of the translation}{44}
\contentsline {paragraph}{Well-formedness}{54}
Simple regexes will identify which levels each line belongs to, and you can filter the file based on that. Once you have the table of contents the way you want it, insert \nofiles in the appropriate place (the style sheet?), which means that Latex will read the auxiliary files but not overwrite them.
