Drawing/warping a rectangular image into a quadrilateral image

Image
By User



I need to draw a BufferedImage within a given quadrilateral. I want to do that:





enter image description here





I would like the cat to be deformed to be drawn within the quadrilateral.





Graphics objects have different methods to draw images, but only to stretch them along the X and Y axis (See Graphics.drawImage methods).





What I am dreaming of is a method Graphics.drawImage() where I specify the coordinates of the 4 quadrilateral points. Is there an easy way to do that?

    I don't know of any easy way to do this with the standard java packages. You could of course implement your own Bilinear or Perspective transform for four corner image warping, but who wants to do all that work.

    I think your best bet is to look into the Java Advanced Imaging API (javax.media.JAI). Here is an article that talks about perspective transforms with JAI: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/forDevelopers/jai1_0_1guide-unc/Geom-image-manip.doc.html#55959

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
