google maps api 3 - Position of an icon on a polyline -


context: animating icon along polyline, represents car going point b. @ point in time car low on fuel, hence, need go gas station , afterwards continue point b.

hence, when car low on fuel, compute car's current position , make directions request current position point b, gas station waypoint.

once i've got answer, update polyline on car animated (i retain accomplished parts , replace remaining parts new route).

the problem computed "current position" of car way inaccurate (i.e. the computed position differs actual position of icon on polyline).

here minimal working example , fiddle:

var map; var line; var first_path;  function initmap() {     pointa = new google.maps.latlng(50.931300, 4.226360);     pointb = new google.maps.latlng(48.858370, 2.294481);      var myoptions = {         zoom: 7,         center: pointa     };      map = new google.maps.map(document.getelementbyid('map-canvas'), myoptions);      // instantiate directions service.     var directionsservice = new google.maps.directionsservice,         directionsdisplay = new google.maps.directionsrenderer({             map: map         }),         markera = new google.maps.marker({             position: pointa,             title: "point a",             label: "a",             map: map         }),         markerb = new google.maps.marker({             position: pointb,             title: "point b",             label: "b",             map: map         });      // route b     calculateanddisplayroute(directionsservice, directionsdisplay, pointa, pointb); }    function calculateanddisplayroute(directionsservice, directionsdisplay, pointa, pointb) {     directionsservice.route({         origin: pointa,         destination: pointb,         avoidtolls: true,         avoidhighways: false,         travelmode: google.maps.travelmode.driving     }, function (response, status) {         if (status == google.maps.directionsstatus.ok) {             //directionsdisplay.setdirections(response);              console.debug(response);             first_path = response.routes[0].overview_path;              // make polyline on path             line = new google.maps.polyline({                 path: first_path,                 strokecolor: 'black',                 strokeopacity: 1,                 icons: [{                     icon: {                         path: google.maps.symbolpath.circle,                         scale: 5,                         strokecolor: '#393',                         strokeopacity: 0.8                     },                     offset: '90%'                 }]             });              line.setmap(map);              // add marker @ same position icon --> inaccurate             var loc = line.getpointatdistance(line.distance() * 0.9);             var marker = new google.maps.marker({                       position: loc,                       map: map,                       title: 'wrong position!'                     });          } else {             window.alert('directions request failed due ' + status);         }     }); }  initmap();

please note using epoly v3 library computation.

are there other libraries or ways compute current position might work?

resizing Telegram inline keyboard -

telegram's inline keyboard great feature lots of different use cases. inline buttons added list of items this: inline_keyboard = [[inlinekeyboardbutton(text="button", callback_data="button"), inlinekeyboardbutton(text="reset",callback_data="reset")]] inline_keyboard_markup = inlinekeyboardmarkup(inline_keyboard) update.message.reply_text("hi", reply_markup=inline_keyboard_markup) the above code adds 2 buttons each half width of chat screen. i know the normal keyboard button there resize_keyboard parameter somehow can used. my question is there way resize inline buttons ? example make full width or quarter width. unfortunately, can't now. :( you can suggest @botsupport , might add feature next version.

command line - How can a Python program background itself? -

consider following python command-line program. doesn't work because incomplete, think illustrates problem: #!/usr/bin/python3 import multiprocessing pool = multiprocessing.pool() task in expensive_iterator_with_user_interaction(): pool.call_async(expensive_computation, (task,)) pool.close() print("dear user, may press ctrl-z , bg script.") pool.join() thus, problem scripts needs user input while it's launching expensive parallel processes. there moment when user interaction not needed anymore. then, ask user background process shell actions. however, can achieved program itself? (side note: core of problem entanglement of user input firing “expensive computations”. therefore, cannot separate both in 2 scripts, , letting 1 spawning other daemon.) the command screen may you. use screen -l create new session , run application. after inputting data, can press " ctrl-a " , press " d " on keyboard detach session. now...
