POW Function

I’m looking for an equivalent function in 4D as the pow function in other languages. For example: Does anyone know how to do this? My math is really rusty. Thanks. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm

Re: POW Function

Hi Spencer, Yes, it is! So simple. Thank you. Perhaps some more help from someone? I’m trying to translate some code on the web into 4D. Here are the lines of code along with an explanation: range = max - min; exponent = int(log(range)); magnitude = pow(10, exponent); //So, for example, if y

Re: POW Function

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the answer. Also, thanks to Miyako and Jeremy. Spencer actually helped me get this figured out offline, but I didn’t realize we’d gone offline. So its all taken care of. Thanks. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236 > On Jul 2

collection.min() Returns Null

I was surprised that the following code tries to return null instead of 80: $cTest:=New collection(100;200;Null;80) $lMin:=$cTest.min() I would have expected that a Null value in the collection would be ignored when looking for the minimum value. Is this what others are expecting or is this a b

("#null").min() //<—What should the query string be? Or should I be using a different function? Anyone know what I should be doing here? Thanks. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236 > On Jul 26, 2018, at 1:59 PM, Cannon Smith via 4D_Tec

Re: collection.min() Returns Null

Hi Christian, Thanks. The values are a series that need to be graphed. Some values in a series may be null, indicating that the graph line should be skipped at that point since we don’t know what the value is. That’s why I decided to use C_COLLECTION instead of ARRAY REAL to hold the values. As

Hi Miyako, Perfect! Thanks, that makes sense and works well. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236 > On Jul 26, 2018, at 3:27 PM, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech > <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > in your case, you could do something like > > $cTest:=$

Hi Chuck, If I’m understanding what you’re after, you just need to use the max width parameter with OBJECT GET BEST SIZE. HTH. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236 > On Aug 7, 2018, at 8:58 AM, Charles Miller via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > w

SVG IDs in Listbox Cells

You know how you can give SVG elements IDs and then use SVG Find element ID by coordinates during a click or mouse over event to figure out what element the mouse is over in an SVG picture? I’d like to do this, except that the SVG picture is in a list box. In fact, the list box has several of th

Re: SVG IDs in Listbox Cells

Thanks for everyone who commented on this. It is actually _almost_ doable. With some math it is possible to figure out where the cursor is over a particular picture cell and "SVG Find element ID by coordinates” works in this context. For example: $tID:=SVG Find element ID by coordinates

Hi Keith, I just tried a little test and, yes, it does seem to work. I’ll play with this some more and see if all the parts will come together. Thanks! -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236 > On Aug 14, 2018, at 8:52 AM, Keith Culotta via 4D_Tech <4
