C++ Builder makes it easy to build engineering applications with custom data visualization methods. These kinds of applications are necessary to understand data results easily. You can use OpenGL or Direct3D libraries or similar 3rd party engines to create great-looking 3D visualizations which help users to make sense of complex datasets. With C++ Builder you can directly create your own 3D objects in your own C++ app by using TViewport3D. You can also animate them at runtime. In this post we will explain how to visualize 3D nodal data with colored cubes. Table of Contents Why are 3D data visualizations used? How to use Viewport3D for 3D data visualizations? How to use TCube for 3D data visualizations? How to code 3D data visualizations for a 3D grid object with cubes in C++? What does the C++ 3D visualization example look like? Is there a full Example of 3D data visualizations of a 3D Grid object with cubes in C++? Where can I find other C++ examples of 3D data visualizations? Why are 3D data visualizations used? 3D data visualization is important an important tool to help understand complex physical and statistical systems such as thermal distributions, fluid properties, pressure changes, and stress analysis of materials. How to use Viewport3D for 3D data visualizations? Viewport3D (TViewportd3D) component in C++ Builder FireMonkey projects is a great way to display many basic 3D Objects like Plane, Cube, Sphere, Cone, Plane, Ellipse3D etc. Please see this post about Working With 3D In Modern Windows C++ Development for examples on creating these 3D objects. You can also easily load your 3D objects into Viewport3D by using Model3D (TModel3D). To create a 3D object to be used in Viewport3D we need to use TMesh classes.  TMesh is a custom 3D shape that can be customized by drawing 3D shapes.  It is a class which publishes a set of properties from its ancestor, TCustomMesh, in order to let you design new 3D shapes at design time from within the IDE, through the Object Inspector. Use the Data property to specify the points, normals and textures for each point, and the order in which the resulting triangles are drawn. The designed shape is filled with the material specified through the MaterialSource property. If no material is specified, then the shape is filled with a red color. How to use TCube for 3D data visualizations? The TCube is used in the Viewport3D component of C++ Builder. It is a class that implements a 3D cube shape, built on a 3D wireframe, that can be placed with Viewport3D component or with a 3D FireMonkey form. We can use these cubes to visualize the magnitude of our data in XYZ Cartesian coordinates with colors. TCube is a 3D visual object that can be added from the Tool Palette in C++ Builder. To change the color or add texture to the cube, use the MaterialSource property. Set SubdivisionsDepth, SubdivisionsHeight and SubdivisionsWidth to specify how smooth the cube’s surfaces are. In this post we will use these cubes to display our 3D data (i.e. Temperatures in every nodes of a 3D Object). We can also use other 3D objects in C++ Builder. For example you can use TPlane (TPlane) forms in 3D to display surface distributions in a 3D view. For more details about 3D objects in C++ Builder, please read more about Learn To Quickly Create Specific 3D Objects In Modern C++ Applications For Windows How to code 3D data visualizations for […]

Hello to everyone, nowadays during my normal working day I have many students around me with a passion to learn programming. They are from high schools, colleges, from some engineering departments of universities and they are asking which programming language they should learn. I am asking what they want to do by learning a language, and then almost always my answer is C++. C++ is great, you can create simple apps, and simple games in C++ helped along by the features of a great C++ IDE like C++ Builder, Dev-C++, or RAD Studio. The programming industry seems to be developing faster and faster every year and yet the C++ language remains squarely at the center of this evolving development world. There is SO much information on the internet, so I think it’s helpful to guide students to let them learn a powerful language. Whether or not they are just taking their first steps in learning to program or are about to be experienced coding professionals. Generally, they want to learn C++ to control some devices, airplanes, UAVs, IoT systems, some mechatronic applications, and some simple AI applications. Some of them want to develop mobile apps and my answer is to advise them to learn C++. This week, we have another 5 posts focused to teach some first steps along the path of learning to code using C++. These posts help you understand some of the reasons that make C++ such an important programming language. This week, we explain what program you need to develop C++ apps, how can you learn C++ language, why we use C++ language. There is also an example post about how to run a simple C++ program. What’s new in RAD Studio 11.2 with C++? Embarcadero recently announced the release of RAD Studio 11.2 with Delphi 11.2 and C++ Builder 11.2.

Are you excited to take part in the Enterprise Article Showcase Challenge by Embarcadero? Here is your chance to make some money and share your valuable experience at the same time! For this contest we would like contestants to submit a 1000+ word article that shares their experience with RAD Studio – Delphi, C++Builder, RAD Server, and/or InterBase – in an enterprise setting. We know that sometimes it is complicated to get large companies to share their experiences officially. While we prefer first-party accounts for example from a developer or manager involved in the enterprise project, we will also accept theoretical or second-hand articles too. For example, if you can tell the program is written in Delphi or heard from a friend or colleague who worked on it then a case study which relates to that. All entries should be based on facts and true experiences as much as possible but can include “theoretical scenarios” when it makes sense to do so. For example, let’s imagine a scenario where you weren’t involved in the development of the software that is used by company X, in industry Y, that performs Z, but you are pretty sure that it does use Delphi. Now you can’t claim definitively that it uses Delphi, but you can discuss that you believe it uses Delphi. Maybe you heard it from a friend with knowledge in that area? If you think it’s obvious that the project uses Delphi, all the better, especially if you can back that up with some reasoning. You can omit the names of your sources unless they give you permission. So, state what you know, and discuss why Delphi is a good choice for that use case. Use real facts about Delphi, its features, 3rd party libraries, etc. All approved entries receive $100 USD*. Feedback is provided if the entry isn’t approved. If we don’t approve the article you’re welcome to submit it again after you’ve taken into account, any feedback we gave you or made changes we felt were essential. First place will win $1000 USD*, followed by $500 USD* for second place. Aspiring contestants should follow all requirements and tips closely to increase their chances of winning the grand prize! What are you waiting for? Get started now and see if you have what it takes to win the Enterprise Article Showcase Challenge. The Enterprise Article Showcase is a great way to spread the RAD Studio message and highlight the fantastic things RAD Studio can do in the enterprise! Help us get to know how you are getting more done with RAD Studio in the enterprise than teams many times your size. Table of Contents Enterprise Article Showcase Challenge How Does it Work?
