    <p>This is less an HTML, CANVAS question and more of a general math question. I posted it here because it's prototyped using CANVAS and is still kind of a general programming question that I thought someone could answer. Here is the basic idea: I want to draw a line 10 pixels thick, but I don't want to use the standard lineTo and set a stroke width. I want to actually draw the border of the line using beginPath and lineTo. The reason being is this is actually for AS3 project and using this method allows us to have a line stroke and fill. So rotating the canvas and things of that nature are out of the question. I just need to figure out how to calculate the proper x, y coordinates for the line.</p> <p>In the code below is the coordinates for the top of a line. I basically want to take this coordinates, add 10 to the y axis for each one and that will give me the return coordinates for the bottom of the line. Of course, each segment of the line is rotated, so calculating the coordinates for the bottom of the line has proved tricky. I'm hoping someone can help.</p> <p>Once you run the example code, the issue should be obvious. The line isn't drawn properly. For relatively mild rotations of line segments it seems to work, but as the angle of rotation gets more severe the x, y coordinates are calculated incorrectly.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;canvas id="canvas" width="800" height="600"&gt; &lt;/canvas&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var coords = [ {x:78,y:183}, {x:130,y:183}, {x:237,y:212}, {x:450,y:213}, {x:517,y:25}, {x:664,y:212}, {x:716,y:212} ]; var coordsBck = []; for( i = 0; i &lt; coords.length; i++ ) { var c1, c2, r; c1 = coords[i]; if( i &lt; coords.length - 1 ) { c2 = coords[i + 1]; r = Math.atan2((c2.y - c1.y),(c2.x - c1.x)); console.log( c1.x, c1.y, c2.x, c2.y, ( r * 180/Math.PI )); } else { r = 00; } var d = r * 180/Math.PI; var cos = Math.cos( r ); var sin = Math.sin( r ); var x = cos * 0 - sin * 10; var y = sin * 0 + cos * 10; coordsBck.push({x: c1.x + x, y: c1.y + y}); } while(coordsBck.length &gt; 0 ) { coords.push( coordsBck.pop() ); } var ctx = document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d"); ctx.beginPath(); for( i = 0; i &lt; coords.length; i++ ) { var line = coords[i]; console.log( i, line.x, line.y ); if( i == 0 ) { ctx.moveTo( line.x, line.y ); } else { ctx.lineTo( line.x, line.y ); } } ctx.fill(); function t(o) { return "x: " + o.x + ", y: " + o.y; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

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.
