  • that said, here there is my ActionScript code to highlight the text inside a PDF page. It works with Flash 8 or previous ONLY because the new Flash 9 has a different AVM interpreter (AVM2) and many things have changed. Please note: - ``txt`` is the text to search and highlight inside your page - ``mc`` points to _root.text that's where I was keeping my swf/pdf page you should change that so it references yours. Here is the code: function hltext ( txt ) { var mc = _root.text; var my_snap:TextSnapshot = mc.getTextSnapshot(); var start_pos:Number = 0; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); while ( start_pos > 0 ) { trace ( start_pos ); my_snap.setSelected( start_pos, start_pos + txt.length, true ); start_pos += txt.length; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); } }

    The online visualisation of data continues to stretch in many directions with great effectiveness. Inspired by seminal influences, such as Edward Tufte, there's an ever growing stream of online and offline tools, projects, research and resources for visualising, interpreting and researching ultimately any type of data, for a vast range of uses.

  • 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: 1. Could I put it more shortly? 2. Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?
  • What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way around.
  • When you think of a concrete object, you think wordlessly, and then, if you want to describe the thing you have been visualizing you probably hunt about until you find the exact words that seem to fit it. When you think of something abstract you are more inclined to use words from the start, and unless you make a conscious effort to prevent it, the existing dialect will come rushing in and do the job for you, at the expense of blurring or even changing your meaning
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • (i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. (ii) Never us a long word where a short one will do. (iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. (iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active. (v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. (vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

  • For everyone else make sure you follow these steps: 1. Use Flash 8 or previous version (I used 6) with the -T command : pdf2swf -T 6 2. Use the -f command for full fonts : pdf2swf -f 3. Test your outputted swf with: swfdump -t filename.swf , you should see a list of DEFINETEXT statements and the corresponding text. Due to a font conflict I was seeing DEFINETEXT followed by jumbled up text on my first pdf. 4. Test your outputted swf with: swfstrings filename.swf, you should see your text and a LOT of ???????s. Again, I had garbage text when trying to convert my original PDF. If the swfdump and swfstrings tests are working, load your pdf2swf.swf into Flash. Publish it for 8. I loaded it into a movieclip on my root timeline called 'loader' : loader.loadMovie("pdf2swf_files/6new.swf"); I have a movieclip called 'searchText_mc' and have the following code for it: searchText_mc.onRelease = function() { hltext ("wonderful"); } And then the hltext is as Fabio provided. This will yellow-highlight all the occurrences of the search string: function hltext ( txt ) { trace("hltext"); var mc = _root.loader; var my_snap:TextSnapshot = mc.getTextSnapshot(); var start_pos:Number = 0; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); trace("start_pos : " + start_pos); while ( start_pos > 0 ) { trace ( start_pos ); my_snap.setSelected( start_pos, start_pos + txt.length, true ); start_pos += txt.length; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); } } If anyone would like some sample files give me a shout,

Chapter 8: Advanced Views and URLconfs - 0 views

  • Here, each view starts by checking that request.user is authenticated — that is, the current user has successfully logged into the site — and redirects to /accounts/login/ if not.
  • It would be nice if we could remove that bit of repetitive code from each of these views and just mark them as requiring authentication.
  • Now, we can remove the if not request.user.is_authenticated() checks from our views and simply wrap them with requires_login in our URLconf:
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • This has the same effect as before, but with less code redundancy. Now we’ve created a nice, generic function — requires_login() that we can wrap around any view in order to make it require login.
  • making a view wrapper.
  • There’s an important gotcha here: the regular expressions in this example that point to an include() do not have a $ (end-of-string match character) but do include a trailing slash.

  • $ git log HEAD~3..
  • git show 13ed136b
  • git status" tells us that the current branch is "master"
  • It’s a little bit helpful to know that we’ve modified hello.c, but we might prefer to know exactly what changes we’ve made to it.
  • git diff
  • To set your name and email address, just use the following commands:
  • git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  • --author option to the “git commit”
  • a blank line, and then one or more paragraphs with supporting detail. Since many tools only print the first line of a commit message by default, it’s important that the first line stands alone.
  • git commit --amend
  • misspelling in it
  • It's worth emphasizing the value of minimal, independent commits. The smaller the changes are the more useful the history will be when actually using the history, not just viewing it.
  • Just run "git pull" everytime you want to pull in new changes that have landed in the upstream repository.
  • Again, you'll see that this precisely matches the final portion of the output from "git pull". Using "git fetch" and "git merge" let us achieve exactly what "git pull" did, but we were able to stop in the middle to examine the situation, (and we could have decided to reject the changes and not merge them---leaving our master branch unchanged).
  • For now, let's return back to the tip of the master branch by just checking it out again: $ git checkout master
  • $ git --bare init --shared The --shared option sets up the necessary group file permissions so that other users in my group will be able to push into this repository as well.
  • Now, generally the purpose of pushing to a repository is to have some "collaboration point" where potentially multiple people might be pushing or pulling.
  • git clone

  • We can count how often a word occurs in a tex
  • Adding two lists creates a new list
  • count the occurrences of a particular word using text1.count('heaven')
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • By convention, m:n means elements m…n-1
  • A consequence of this last change is that the list only has four elements, and accessing a later value generates an error
  • We can join the words of a list to make a single string, or split a string into a list, as follows:
  • 'Monty Python'.split()
  • frequency distribution
  • frequency of each vocabulary item
  • find the 50 most frequent words
  • hese very long words are often hapaxes (i.e. unique) and perhaps it would be better to find frequently occurring long words.
  • Here are all words from the chat corpus that are longer than 7 characters, that occur more than 7 times:   >>> fdist5 = FreqDist(text5) >>> sorted([w for w in set(text5) if len(w) > 7 and fdist5[w] > 7]) ['#14-19teens', '#talkcity_adults', '((((((((((', '........', 'Question', 'actually', 'anything', 'computer', 'cute.-ass', 'everyone', 'football', 'innocent', 'listening', 'remember', 'seriously', 'something', 'together', 'tomorrow', 'watching'] >>>
  • The collocations() function does this for us
  • find bigrams that occur more often than we would expect based on the frequency of individual words.
  • fdist = FreqDist(samples) create a frequency distribution containing the given samples fdist.inc(sample) increment the count for this sample fdist['monstrous'] count of the number of times a given sample occurred fdist.freq('monstrous') frequency of a given sample fdist.N() total number of samples fdist.keys() the samples sorted in order of decreasing frequency for sample in fdist: iterate over the samples, in order of decreasing frequency fdist.max() sample with the greatest count fdist.tabulate() tabulate the frequency distribution fdist.plot() graphical plot of the frequency distribution fdist.plot(cumulative=True) cumulative plot of the frequency distribution fdist1 < fdist2 test if samples in fdist1 occur less frequently than in fdist2
  • it goes through each word in text1, assigning each one in turn to the variable w and performing the specified operation on the variable.
  • The above notation is called a "list comprehension"
  • [f(w) for ...] or [w.f() for ...],
  • Now that we are not double-counting words like This and this
  • by filtering out any non-alphabetic items:   >>> len(set([word.lower() for word in text1 if word.isalpha()]))
  • A collocation is a sequence of words which occur together unusually often. Thus red wine is a collocation, while the wine is not. A characteristic of collocations is that they are resistant to substitution with words that have similar senses — maroon wine sounds definitely odd.
