sql - Oracle - Sorting a VARCHAR2 field like a NUMBER - I found a solution, need explanation on it -

-

i have varchar2 column want sort numerically. 99% (or possibly 100%) of time contain numbers. looking around , found this solution. quoting source:

remember our goal sort supplier_id field in ascending order (based on numeric value). this, try using lpad function.

for example,

select * supplier order lpad(supplier_id, 10);

this sql pads front of supplier_id field spaces 10 characters. now, results should sorted numerically in ascending order.

i've played around little bit solution , seems workign (so far), how work, can explain?

when sorting strings/varchar, field serted left right, sort normal words.

that why have problems when sorting

1 2 3 10 11 20

which sorted as

1 10 11 2 20 3

but, if pad values left, have like

001 002 003 010 011 020

which sort correctly

i want make logharitmic fit. keep getting runtime error: optimal parameters not found: number of calls function has reached maxfev = 1000 i use following script. can tell me go wrong? use spyder still beginner. import math import matplotlib mpl scipy.optimize import curve_fit import numpy np #data f1=[735.0,696.0,690.0,683.0,680.0,678.0,679.0,675.0,671.0,669.0,668.0,664.0,664.0] t1=[1,90000.0,178200.0,421200.0,505800.0,592200.0,768600.0,1036800.0,1371600.0,1630800.0,1715400.0,2345400.0,2409012.0] f1n=np.array(f1) t1n=np.array(t1) plt.plot(t1,f1,'ro',label="original data") # curvefit def func(t,a,b): return a+b*np.log(t) t=np.linspace(0,3600*24*28,13) popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, t, f1n, maxfev=1000) plt.plot(t, func(t, *popt), label="fitted curve") plt.legend(loc='upper left') plt.show() your original data t1 , f1 . therefore curve_fit should given t1 second argument, not t . popt, pcov = curve_fit(func,...

binding - How can you make the color of elements of a WPF DrawingImage dynamic? -

-
we have need make vector graphic images change color of elements within graphic @ runtime. seem setting colors based on either static or dynamic resource values wouldn't work. want have multiple versions of same graphic, each abilty set graphic elements (path, line, etc) different colors don't think dynamic resource approach work. leaves data binding seems right approach. update graphic use data binding expr instead of hard-coded brush color so: <drawingimage x:key="graphic1"> <drawingimage.drawing> <drawinggroup> <drawinggroup.children> <geometrydrawing geometry="f1 m 8.4073,23.9233l"> <geometrydrawing.pen> <pen linejoin="round" brush="{binding line1brush, mode=oneway}"/> </geometrydrawing.pen> </geometrydrawing> <geometrydrawing geometry="f1 m 3.6875,2.56251l"> <geometrydrawing....
