In computing, Pic is a domain-specific programming language by Brian Kernighan for specifying line diagrams. The language contains predefined basic linear objects: line, move, arrow, and spline, the planar objects box, circle, ellipse, arc, and definable composite elements. Objects are placed with respect to other objects or absolute coordinates.
Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. These characters are characterized by being designed to be connected horizontally and/or vertically with adjacent characters, which requires proper alignment.
A simple way to parallelize single-color line rasterization is to let multiple line-drawing algorithms draw offset pixels of a certain distance from each other. [2] Another method involves dividing the line into multiple sections of approximately equal length, which are then assigned to different processors for rasterization. The main problem ...
By way of illustration, the following code fragments demonstrate detection of patterns within event streams. The first is an example of processing a data stream using a continuous SQL query (a query that executes forever processing arriving data based on timestamps and window duration).
The first line is a shebang, which identifies the file as a Perl script that can be executed directly on the command line on Unix/Linux systems. The other two are pragmas turning on warnings and strict mode, which are mandated by fashionable Perl programming style. This next example is a C/C++ programming language boilerplate, #include guard.
In computer programming, especially object-oriented programming, a method is commonly identified by its unique method signature, which usually includes the method name and the number, types, and order of its parameters. [4] A method signature is the smallest type of a method.
E.g., if the source process consists of a command which reads an audio track from a CD and the destination process consists of a command which compresses the waveform audio data to a format like MP3. In this case, buffering the entire track in a pipe buffer would allow the CD drive to spin down more quickly, and enable the user to remove the CD ...
LDS-1 (Line Drawing System-1) was a calligraphic (vector, rather than raster) display processor and display device created by Evans & Sutherland in 1969. [1] This model was known as the first graphics device with a graphics processing unit .
