I'm writing with cocos2d-x, and have a problem:
For example, there are two sprites: a human and his clothes. I use fade (cascade opacity) to make it disappear, but during this the user can see the parts of the human body which were supposed to be hidden by the clothes. How to avoid this? How can I use render for that? Is there a way to overwrite pixels when render in cocos or OpenGL? Can anyone give an example?
You can use CCClippingNode to do the job.
CCClippingNode::create(cocos2d::CCNode *mask) (2.x type)
CCClippingNode::setInverted(bool)
It is used to create a clipping region. And you can use it to cover the body. Add the body in the clippingNode by addChild and use cloth as mask.

Since now, in the design of one of the websites I work, I've been using a graphic to decorate the header section that consists in a diagonal division white in the lower side and transparent in the upper side. The result is this:
If I change upper color, as the image is transparent in its upper area the effect seems perfect:
Now, I need to allow users to change page background and that's the problem:
Background changes to red, but the image I used to decorate the header doesn't change.
Is there any way to allow users to change the background without ruin the header decoration?
Note that store a copies of the decoration imagen in different colors is not an option due I allow users to choose any 24-bit color. Also, to change the image in real time like explained here isn't an option due multiple users may access the same file.
You could try changing the image in realtime using data URIs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/data_URIs
With a data URI, you can do something like the following: <img src="data:image/png;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ%3D%3D" />. The image can be changed dynamically in JS by generating a new image and setting the src attribute to the new data URI.
You will need to find a suitable format for generating images in JS though. I have used pnglib.js before, and it works, but it might be slower than you'd prefer. You might need to test some different libraries and image formats to see which can be generated quickly. Also, make the image as small as possible - should be only the area with the diagonal split, the area to the right can be done with a div instead.
Alternatively, you could generate a unique image server-side via a script. Make a script that takes a GET parameter for the background color and generates the appropriate image (for PHP, you can use GD or IMagick). Advantage is that the server may generate the image and send it to the client quicker than the client could generate it in JS.
Add the following to the div with the background image:
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
The problem currently is that the background cannot overlap your div with the background image. Adding the position: absolute gives your div some kind of "ghost box" model, thus allowing the background of the body to overlap it.
P.S.: you can also play with z-index if you want to.

Hello, all. This is my first post here, but I often come here for help.
I am an amateur web designer and have been in web designing for almost a year now.
The Problem
My question is about CSS3 transforms. I have a small, circular element in the center of my page that transforms successfully when I hover over it. I have a larger circular element that is, by z-index, underneath it. The larger circle also has CSS3 transforms coded in the CSS, but will not transform, or even triggerd when hovered over. Both circles are overlaid, with the smallest on top, to create concentric circles.
My Attempted Solution
One word: Z-index. I have tried putting the larger circle on top, which works fine. The problem with this is that the smaller circle no longer triggers...
The Result I Want
I would like for the circles to remain in their 'concentric' positions and for the larger circle on the outside to transform by :hover. Is it possible to have an 'alternate trigger'? e.g.: in JavaScript, I can trigger an animation by hovering over any element that I specify. Is this possible to do in CSS? Can I hover element (I), and change properties for element (II)? If I cannot do this, how would I go about triggering animations for both circles, by hovering over only one? I am trying to stay with pure CSS/HTML, but I will accept JavaScript answers.
Last Notes
I hope I have provided ample info for a decent answer... Here is a screenshot: http://i.stack.imgur.com/WPj62.png
The circle with the infinity sign is the smaller circle element. The larger circle with the faint border around the screen is the other element.
EDIT:
Something's still not right, please take a look at the full code posted here: http://cssdesk.com/eJ8BH
If I understand your question, it sounds like when you hover over the small circle, you want both the large and small circle to transform, correct?
The easiest way is likely to use javascript for this. If you are using jQuery, it's even easier:
$('.littleCircle')
.hover(function(){
$(this).addClass('myTransformationClass');
$('.biggerCircle').addClass('myTransformationClass');
})
UPDATE: Some further examples based on follow-up feedback.
Here's what I'd do. First, give all 4 related elements a class so you can grab them via jQuery. For the example I use .rolloverSet
// grab all 4 elements and cache them
$rolloverSet = $('.rolloverSet');
// grab the one element that needs to have two classes
$otherElement = $rolloverSet.find('.otherElement');
$rolloverSet
.hover(function(){ // we'll add a hover event to each element in the group
$(this).addClass('myTransformationClass');
$otherElement.addClass('myOtherTransformationClass');
})
.blur(function(){ // remove the classes on mousout
$(this).removeClass('myTransformationClass');
$otherElement.removeClass('myOtherTransformationClass');
})
You do not need jQuery for this. You need to apply :hover on the parent element of the concentric circles and then apply the animation to its immediate children like this: http://jsfiddle.net/nimbu/taqr4/
Things I changed:
Updated to use shorter transitions, animations property
Added moz, o, unprefixed properties
Removed -webkit- from border-radius
Gathered common properties of concentric circles to prevent repetition
Fixed incorrect background-color (#00000000)
i have some variables on PHP who gain values from 0 to 100. I want to develop a simple graph system that draw a horizontal rectangle given the number (0, 1 , 50 and soo). Also i want to add some gradient to the background, doing this in php is complicated and i dont want more load in my server, so i know this is possible in css, but im not a css developer. So if any body can help me with this. In this page (http://www.answerbag.com/) you can se how i want the rectangle, in the results of the pool section in the middle of the above page.
that's very simple since you know the width. Since you probably want the full spectrum of the gradient to show, you probably want to resize the gradient image by using a css #score1 { width: 30px } on that <img id="score1" src="blue_gradient.png"> Then later on, you can use one of the many rounder corner methods to add the round corners to it.
The reason for asking this question is because I want to be able to draw an arrow between two svg images. I want to use canvas to create the arrows, so firstly I generate the svgs then place a canvas on top of them to be able to draw the arrows.
I've tried using style=... but haven't had any luck as everytime I add the canvas element it just pushes my svg images to another pl
If there's no easy way to do this I'll just create arrows using SVG, I figured it would be more efficient to use canvas if I had to do lots of arrows in a short amount of time.
You need position:absolute on the CSS for the canvas to take it out of the flow, and then you can layer it as you like using z-index.
However, I instead suggest that you can use one or two tiny canvases to create the arrowheads and use toDataURL() on them to create a url you can use for <image> tags in the SVG. This way all your graphics are in SVG but you can use the canvas for complex raster effects if you need to.
have you tried z-index? it's a useful css trick
#svgcontent
{
z-index:1
}
#html5content
{
z-index:3
}
EDIT: accidentally screwed the #s up. 'scuse me.
I'm trying to create a gray "frame" (see pic below) around a google map, to try to convey the concept of an area of focus, as oppose to a point (which is usually represented with a marker). Note that this is not an overlay, that is, the gray "frame" should not move when you drag the map.

It appears that only option is to "subclass" GControl to create a custom control. I have 3 questions
1) First of all, is GControl subclassing the best course of action?
2) In my example, the canvas (div) where map renders can change its size (i.e is not fixed width). Do I have to delete and add custom control when canvas changes size? See docs http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/controls.html#Custom_Controls on how to create a custom map control.
3) Now, how to do it. Naively, I thought I could create a table with 3 columns and 3 rows, and set display: none for the cell in the middle. But that doesn't work. I've also experimented with clipping, that didn't work either. My css skills are quite lacking, so there must be way to do this more elegantly than adding four rectangular gray divs. If I wanted to add an inner border, with divs, I would need to paint 8 then. In a nutshell, what's the best way to create a "hollow" rectangle?
Thanks
P.S. This is my first entry to StackOverflow. Just discovered it. It's impressive how well SO is put together.
