  • The Three-Dimensional User Interface
    32 The Three-Dimensional User Interface Hou Wenjun Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications China 1. Introduction This chapter introduced the three-dimensional user interface (3D UI). With the emergence of Virtual Environment (VE), augmented reality, pervasive computing, and other "desktop disengage" technology, 3D UI is constantly exploiting an important area. However, for most users, the 3D UI based on desktop is still a part that can not be ignored. This chapter interprets what is 3D UI, the importance of 3D UI and analyses some 3D UI application. At the same time, according to human-computer interaction strategy and research methods and conclusions of WIMP, it focus on desktop 3D UI, sums up some design principles of 3D UI. From the principle of spatial perception of people, spatial cognition, this chapter explained the depth clues and other theoretical knowledge, and introduced Hierarchical Semantic model of “UE”, Scenario-based User Behavior Model and Screen Layout for Information Minimization which can instruct the design and development of 3D UI. This chapter focuses on basic elements of 3D Interaction Behavior: Manipulation, Navigation, and System Control. It described in 3D UI, how to use manipulate the virtual objects effectively by using Manipulation which is the most fundamental task, how to reduce the user's cognitive load and enhance the user's space knowledge in use of exploration technology by using navigation, and how to issue an order and how to request the system for the implementation of a specific function and how to change the system status or change the interactive pattern by using System Control.

  • 1. the Following Program Creates a Graphical User Interface Allowing the User to Enter a Sequence of Numbers and Calculate Either the Largest Value Or the Sum
    1. The following program creates a graphical user interface allowing the user to enter a sequence of numbers and calculate either the largest value or the sum. Assume that the functions maxList and sumList each take a string as a parameter and return the appropriate value. For example, maxList("2 5 1 4") returns 5. from Tkinter import * #1 root = Tk() #2 f = Frame( root ) #3 f.pack() #4 def calculate(): #5 s = e.get() #6 r = v.get() #7 if r==1: #8 result = maxList(s) #9 else: #10 result = sumList(s) #11 l.configure( text = str(result) ) #12 l.update() #13 e = Entry( f ) #14 e.pack() #15 l = Label( f, text="" ) #16 l.pack() #17 v = IntVar() #18 r1 = Radiobutton( f, text = "Max", variable = v, #19 value = 1, command = calculate) #20 r1.pack() #21 r2 = Radiobutton( f, text = "Sum", variable = v, #22 value = 2, command = calculate) #23 r2.pack() #24 q = Button( f, text = "Quit", #25 command = root.destroy ) #26 q.pack() #27 root.mainloop() #28 (a) Explain the purpose of each line or group of lines in the program, and describe exactly how the user should interact with it. Ignore any errors that may occur due to inappropriate input. [20] (b) The question does not say what maxList and sumList do if their input is inappropriate. What would you like them to do, so that the user can see an error message in this case? You do not need to define maxList and sumList, but if your solution also requires modifications to calculate then you should define the new version of calculate.

Remember, there are multimedia tutorials and help pages at this web page: http://www.geomapapp.org/ GeoMapApp: Search for geochemical signatures using PetDB petrology Zoom to the EPR 9N Integrated Study Site. Most of this seafloor is mapped with high-resolution multibeam; fuzzy areas around the edges are the background satellite altimetry-derived bathymetry. Load the PetDB samples chemistry (Focus Sites -> Select From Searchable List, type “MORB” into search box, click once on EPR Rock samples and MORB chemistry from PetDB, then hit OK). When the table is loaded, use the Colour By Value button to colour the symbols on, say, MgO. In the colour palette window, slide the grey lines sideways to change the colour scale. Use the Graph button to plot FeOT against MgO. In the graph plot window, click on the Lasso tool and use the mouse to encircle the high-MgO outliers. This lights up the symbols both on the graph and in the map window. Bonus: On the right, use the Save drop-down menu to copy the selected points into an Excel spreadsheet and open the spreadsheet. Note: you can also pull up these samples using the real-time PetDB Web Feature Service, as follows. File -> Import Dataset from WFS. From the drop-down menu, select PetDB, hit Connect. Hit Load Feature (may take a few minutes depending upon the internet connection).

  • Unit 2 Lesson 2.1-3
    Designing User Interface-1 Unit 2 Designing User Interface-1 Introduction In previous lesson, we have learned how to write simple Visual Basic code. In this lesson, we will learn how to work with some common controls and write codes for them. Some of the commonly used controls are label, text box, button, list box and combo box. However, in this lesson, we shall only deal with the text box the label, and buttons we shall deal with other controls later. Lesson 2.1-3 Adding Basic Controls Upon completion of this unit you will be able to . Place textbox control on the Form. Place label control on the Form. Place command button on the Form. Outcomes TextBox Controls The TextBox is the standard control for accepting input from the user as well as to display the output. For this reason, they tend to be the most frequently used controls in the majority of Windows applications. It can handle string (text) and numeric data but not images or pictures. String in a TextBox can be converted to a numeric data by using the function Val (text). In this section, we will discuss the most useful properties of TextBox controls. After you place a TextBox control on a form, you must set a few basic properties. The first thing I do as soon as I create a new TextBox control is clear its Textproperty. If this is a multiline field, I also set the MultiLineproperty to True. You can set the Alignment property of TextBox controls to left align, right align, or center the contents of the control.
