Flex/Actionscript Function to Calculate Random Point IN Circle -

-

not sure i'm doing wrong here looking see if had thoughts or suggestions. i'm trying create function returns random point within circle. following code gives me random points along edge of circle. thoughts on i'm doing wrong here? thanks!

private function getpointincircle(tmpradius:int):point {     var x:int;     var y:int;      var a:number = math.random() * 360;     x = radius * math.cos(a * (math.pi / 180));     y = radius * math.sin(a * (math.pi / 180));      trace("x: " + x + "y: " + y);     return new point(x, y); }

you need 2 degrees of freedom, 1 angle, had, , other distance center:

var d:number = math.random()*radius var a:number = math.random()*2*math.pi; x = d*math.cos(a); y = d*math.sin(a);

if have circle centered in (x0,y0) , not in (0,0) modify this:

x = x0 + d*math.cos(a); y = y0 + d*math.sin(a);

trivia: circle border line. if want refer area delimited border, disk.

Optimized Line drawing in QT -

i new qt. working on graphics. i using qwidget drawing graphics(for drawing graphics in qwidget paint event). need draw background , foreground graphics. background fixed graphics. foregrounds drawing lines. each 100 millisecond need draw 20points. drawing time 8 sec. total need draw 1600 points (total points represents contentious line). i using qtimer invoke drawing in each 100ms. first few drawing drawn fast. in middle of drawing it's become slow. the problem need draw foreground , background in each 100ms. please me fix problem. if 1 have sample code please provide. in advance. is there way draw partial area ie. particular modified region of graphics? qpainter-drawing can slow without hardware support. using qgraphicsview won't if lines visible, since internally uses qpainter anyway. if have draw 20 new points (or lines) per update , per update background gets cleared have render again, there few things try: 1) disable background autofill. see...
