    <p>How general does this need to be? Also, how are representing your shape, and the points? Your algorithm seems to be ok; do you need help turning it into code?</p> <hr> <p>Alrighty, here's something i came up with. Notes on the code: </p> <ul> <li>The distance method takes two Points and returns the distance between them.</li> <li>The normalize method takes two points and returns the normal vector pointing from the first point to the second point.</li> <li>The Point class has the multiply method which multiplies the point by a scalar</li> <li>The Point class has float (or double) precision</li> </ul> <p>I'm using the Point class to represent vectors by the way.</p> <p>I haven't tested this, so there might be bugs. There might be issues with how this algorithm handles exact regions (e.g. your square with exactly 4 points on it). Let me know if there are issues or if you have any questions! :)</p> <pre><code>Point[] shapePoints; //already initialized int numPoints; //already initialized Point[] retPoints = new Point[numPoints]; int totalLength; for(int i = 1; i &lt; shapePoints.length; i++){ totalLength += distance(shapePoints[i], (shapePoints[i-1])); } float segLength = ((float) totalLength) / numPoints); Point currShape = shapePoints[0]; Point nextShape = shapePoints[1]; Point prev = currShape; int counter = 2; while(numPoints &gt; 0){ Point norm = normalize(new Point(nextShape.x - currShape.x, nextShape.y - currShape.y)); if(distance(nextShape, prev) &lt; segLength){ int tempLength = segLength; tempLength -= distance(nextShape, prev); currShape = nextShape; nextShape = shapePoints[counter]; counter ++; norm = normalize(new Point(nextShape.x - currShape.x, nextShape.y - currShape.y)); norm.multiply(tempLength); } else{ norm.multiply(segLength); } retPoints[numPoints - 1] = norm; prev = retPoints[numPoints - 1]; numPoints --; } </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>Point normalize(Point p){ int scale = Math.sqrt(p.x * p.x + p.y * p.y); p.x = p.x / scale; p.y = p.y / scale; return p; } </code></pre>

    1. COwell for now all I want to get are the points (x,y). It's pretty general, as the (straight-line) shape makes no difference. I really only deal with the endpoints. And yes, I'm having trouble turning it into code elegantly =)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
