The matplotlib ellipse demo is nice. But I could not implement it in my code without a for loop. I was getting an axes figure error. Here is what I did instead, where of course the xy center are my own coordinates with respective width and height based on the image over which I plotted … Read more
Consider a bounding circle around the given point (c, d), which passes through the nearest point on the ellipse. From the diagram it is clear that the closest point is such that a line drawn from it to the given point must be perpendicular to the shared tangent of the ellipse and circle. Any other … Read more
Here is a solution to the problem. It is a subclass of TextView that actually works for ellipsizing. The android-textview-multiline-ellipse code listed in an earlier answer I have found to be buggy in certain circumstances, as well as being under GPL, which doesn’t really work for most of us. Feel free to use this code … Read more
