    <p>So I've managed myself to write the first part (algorithm) to calculate each tile's position where should it be placed while drawing this map (see bellow). However I need to be able to convert mouse location to the appropriate cell and I've been almost pulling my hair off because I can't figure out a way how to get the cell from mouse location. My concern is that it involves some pretty high math or something i'm just something easy i'm not capable to notice.<br> For example if the mouse position is <strong>112;35</strong> how do i calculate/transform it to to get that the cell is <strong>2;3</strong> at that position? Maybe there is some really good math-thinking programmer here who would help me on this or someone who knows how to do it or can give some information?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/noQyV.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <pre><code>var cord:Point = new Point(); cord.x = (x - 1) * 28 + (y - 1) * 28; cord.y = (y - 1) * 14 + (x - 1) * (- 14); </code></pre> <p>Speaking of the map, each cell (transparent tile <em>56x28</em> pixels) is placed in the center of the previous cell (or at zero position for the cell 1;1), above is the code I use for converting cell-to-position. I tried lot of things and calculations for position-to-cell but each of them failed.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> After reading lot of information <em>it seems</em> that using off screen color map (where colors are mapped to tiles) is the fastest and most efficient solution? </p>

    1. COwhat are you using for drawing? Many graphic frameworks (like OpenGL) have helper methods to do the mouse-to-world transform for you.

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.
