Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a program that will read in a series of files and
create a 3D array from the files read in for converting 2D images to 3D
objects. The values read in will be considered as pixel colours and the
size that 1 pixel occupies will depend on an input from the user when
running the program. How can I dynamically change the data type of my 3D
array at runtime. eg. 3D array was defined as type unsigned char in the
code but the file to be read requires the array to be type unsigned short.
I've tried using
typedef unsigned char pixeltype; // assuming data is unsigned char
in my header file and then writing all my functions using the type
pixeltype.
I've tried casting the pointer to the array to a variable of type
unsigned short but it didn't really work. Googling also didn't produce
anything fruitful. Thanks and best regards.

unsigned char *image; /* your raw data */
int pixelsize; /* size of each pixel, in bytes */
int redoffset; /* offset of the start of the red channel from pixel
beginning */
int redbits; /* number of bits used for the red channel */
For extra brownie points, you can have a big / little endian flag.

That's not really possible. If you've only allocated memory for a
certain number of chars, however are you going to fit the same number of
shorts in there? It would mean that sizeof(short) <= sizeof(char), and
that is only very rarely true on desktop computers. (And where it is, of
course, sizeof(short) == sizeof(char) == 1, and CHAR_BIT >= 16.)
If you know the maximum size of your elements, going the other way
(allocating memory for an array of the largest possible data type, and
then possibly filling it with a smaller type) is possible, but may cost
a lot of memory.

Yeah... I guess I might have to do it that way by using unsigned short
in my code and then cast it to chars as I need to. Thanks for the help.
Cheers!

Hi all. I'm trying to dynamically build menus and objects after my page
loads. Data is stored in an XML file and is parsed at runtime into
Javascript objects. At the moment, I'm working on creating menu items
from these objects. The parsing works fine (using Sarissa), and Firefox
builds the menu no problem. IE, however, does not. The functionality of
the menu will be a single onclick event. It seems that Firefox allows

I want to dynamically add or replace bound methods in a class. I want
the modifications to be immediately effective across all instances,
whether created before or after the class was modified. I need this
to work for both old ('classic') and new style classes, at both 2.3
and 2.4. I of course want to avoid side effects, and to make the
solution as light-weight as possible.

Hey all:
I've searched the newsgroup, and googled, but I'm stuck. I want to be
able to 'dynamically' add a .js file to a web page after the page has
loaded, based on user interaction.
For example, the user make a choice by clicking on an item called
20050928, and as a result a file named "20050928/case.js" is
"included", and the data contained within is available.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
