Blog Title

I wasted a good bit of time over the weekend trying to efficiently calculate the minimum bounding box for a given bezier curve. Since I'm drawing each curve (or transition) on its own canvas, I'd like to keep each canvas as small as possible while safely containing every point along its line. After reading through a couple of algorithms, it hit me: "I don't understand a damn thing I'm reading!" This hit me too: "Its the weekend!" Given this bit of news, it was time for a new game plan.

I think I'll just be sizing each canvas element to contain all of the control points used to describe the curve. The elements will in many cases be much bigger than they need to be, but it probably won't matter anyway. We'll see.

Today:

  • Got all Smikey and re-did my wireframes for the app.
  • Checked out Nitram's commit and got it running locally.
  • Started coding some the base js for the designer tool.
  • Had my "front-end wires" reviewed by Nitram. (I recommend it)
  • Had some leftover taco salad. Not enough ground turkey left - had to supplement it with ground beef. (this, not so much)
