The present invention generally relates to a figure processing method and a figure processing apparatus. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a figure processing method and a figure processing apparatus having a function for automatically displaying ruling lines suitable for drafting and editing a figure by utilizing a display apparatus by an operator.
In general, there have been known such a figure processing apparatus and a method that a figure is drafted and edited in response to an instruction issued from an operator with operating a mouse or the like, while observing the figure displayed on a display. When the figure is formed by way of the above-explained apparatus and method, figure processings such as a parallel displacement, a rotation, a mirror-image inversion, a duplication, an erasing and a zooming operation must be carried out with respect to the figure displayed on the display. These figure processings may require to move the figure shown in the display to a desirable position, to designate a side or a radius of the figure, and to modify it to a desirable length. However, it is difficult that the operator visually and correctly measures a distance and a position on a display screen. It is also difficult to make a pointing device such as a mouse coincident with a desirable pixel, because the operator may move his hand. As described above, it is so difficult for the operator to correctly designate a point, a position and a length on a screen of a display.
Therefore, most of the drafting or figure processing apparatuses aided by display devices own a function to display square latticed rules on the screens and also to correct the position pointed out by the pointer on the display screen to a cross point of the lattice or a point on the lattice line in order to aid the position designation for accepting such demands.
The operators who employ such a figure processing apparatus, can readily determine a correct position by designating an adjoining position of a target lattice point or lattice line, instead of pointing the exact point on the display.
Some of these figure processing apparatuses own a function capable of modifying an interval of the lattice lines, a gradient thereof, and a datum position by the operator.
However, since the conventional figure processing apparatuses can display only the square latticed rules, it is impossible to determine correct lengths when the lines cross each other not at a right angle. Also, since it is not easy to modify an attribute of the ruled lattice in the conventional figure processing apparatuses, it is difficult to locate a lattice point of the rules on the center of the circle for correctly modifying the center and radius of the circle based on the rules. Also, in case that the figure is desirable to be moved in a proper direction, it is difficult to make the gradient of the latticed rules coincident with the desirable direction for relying to move the figure on the rules.
For instance, if a designation is made of a point which is separated from a certain point by a predetermined distance, relying on the square latticed rules, this distance cannot be correctly determined unless two points are located on the same lattice line and the distance between these two points is equal to a value obtained by multiplying the interval of the lattice lines by a certain integer number. If a straight line is drawn no in parallel to the ruled lines, there are many cases that a length and a position can be hardly, correctly determined.
Also when a radius of a circle is designated, it is difficult to establish a correct designation unless the center of the circle is coincident with the latticed point.
As previously explained, the optimum shapes of the rules, optimum intervals thereof and optimum positions thereof should be determined based upon the sorts and target amounts of the processing operations to be executed, and there are some cases that the squared latticed rules impede the correct position designation.
It is so desirable that the display displays only such ruled lines as to be utilized when an operator performs an operation. For instance, if a distance is designated by using a lattice interval as a unit, a selectable point for the figure processing is included in the points on the lattice line which passes through the datum point used to measure the distance.
However, in accordance with the conventional figure processing apparatuses, since a large quantity of unnecessary points are displayed, there are higher probabilities that erroneous designation may happen to occur, because an operator moves his hand and causes visual errors.
Furthermore, there are some cases that no point is present t be designated by the operator in the latticed rules, when a radius cannot be designated unless a gradient of the latticed rules is modified because a lattice point indicative of the radius scales out from the display, or when a designation is made based on an angle.
Furthermore, there is only one sort of latticed rules which can be used at the same time. If the position, interval and angle of the latticed rules being displayed, are not suitable, the attributes of the rules must be changed. For example, in case that a plurality of ruled lines are alternately used, the attributes of the ruled lines must be changed every time. An operator must give up an operability of the conventional figure processing apparatus and a correct positional designation thereof, and thus he must continue to use the same ruled lines, or he endures such a cumbersome operation that the attributes are repeatedly changed.
Also, a ruled line is formed using a coordinate of at least one datum point as a reference point. For instance, latticed rules are formed so that coordinates of two datum points are used for opposite points of the unit lattice, whereas concentric ruled lines are formed and displayed in dot lines with a predetermined interval so that the center point is located at a coordinate of a datum point. To perform an enlarging process or a compressing process with respect to a figure drafted on a display screen with displaying an arbitrary ruled line thereon, there are some cases to easily draft a correct figure by substituting the presently displayed ruled lines by suitable ruled lines for an individual process.
For instance, when a circular figure is enlarged or reduced with fixing the center, it is preferable to use concentric ruled lines whose datum points are the center of the circular figure. However, it is difficult to designate the correct coordinate of this datum point with reference to the ordinary latticed rules and the displayed circular figure.
An object of the present invention is to provide a figure processing apparatus and a figure processing method capable of displaying ruled lines suitable for a figure processing operation to be executed, and also of easily designating a correct position.
A figure processing method, according to the present invention, for forming a figure with employment of a drafting machine having a display screen which displays both a figure to be drafted and ruled lines for aiding the drafting operation, comprises the steps of:
determining a sort of ruled lines to be displayed, in accordance with a shape of the subjected figure displayed on the display screen and a figure processing procedure instructed by an operator;
determining coordinates of datum point of the ruled lines on the display screen in accordance with the shape of the subjected figure;
displaying a configuration of said ruled lines, relying on the coordinates of datum point:
acquiring coordinates of a point designated by the operator;
modifying the coordinates of said designated point, relying on said ruled lines; and,
performing said instructed figure processing procedure to said figure, relying on said modified coordinates of the designated point.
A figure processing apparatus, according to the present invention, comprises:
ruled line determining means for determining a sort of the ruled lines to be displayed, depending upon both a shape of the subjected figure displayed on the display screen and a figure processing procedure instructed by an operator;
ruled line displaying means for determining coordinates of datum point of the ruled lines on the display screen in accordance with the shape of the subjected figure to display a configuration of the ruled lines on the display screen, relying on the coordinates of the datum point; and,
coordinate reading means for acquiring the coordinates of the point designated by the operator;
figure processing procedure means for modifying the coordinates of the designated point, relying on the ruled lines, and for performing the instructed figure processing procedure to the figure, relying on the modified coordinates of the designated point.
In accordance with the figure processing apparatus and method of the present invention, since the ruled lines optimal to the figure processing is automatically displayed on the display, the operator can very easily or correctly draft a figure based upon the displayed ruled lines.

FIG. 9 is a schematic block diagram for showing a hardware arrangement of a figure processing system according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 9, reference numeral 901 designates a display unit for displaying a figure to be processed by the figure processing system, and a menu, and also information required for processing ruled lines, and so on. Reference numeral 902 designates a display control unit for controlling display of information on the display unit, 903 a frame memory for storing bit map data to memorize screen information corresponding to an overall display screen, and 904 a bit map processor for processing bit logic operation on data stored in the frame map. Reference numeral 905 designates a keyboard, and 906 a mouse used to enter a user's instruction. Although a pointing device such as a mouse is used in general for inputting information of position designation, a keyboard may be used for the same purpose. Reference numeral 907 designates a central processing unit (CPU) for processing a figure by utilizing programs and data stored in a main memory 908. The processed figure is stored in a data file 909, or is printed out from a printer 910. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described constructive elements, but may employ other constituent elements. For instance, a tablet and other devices may be employed as the input units.
FIG. 10 shows a functional arrangement of a figure processing program into which one preferred embodiment of the present invention has been assembled. In accordance with this preferred embodiment, draft and edit of a figure are performed in accordance with an operation of an operator based upon a figure processing system indicated by reference numeral 101.
Reference numeral 102 denotes a user interface control section for displaying a figure, an operation menu, and ruled lines and the like which are to be processed, on a screen, and also for interpreting an instruction issued from the operator. Reference numeral 103 denotes a figure editing control section for drafting and editing figures in accordance with the operation instruction of the operator which has been interpreted by the user interface control section. Reference numeral 104 designates a ruled-line control section which interrogates a ruled-line shape decision section 105 about the shape of ruled lines to be displayed when the ruled lines are required to be displayed, and cause the ruled lines to be displayed on a ruled-line display control section 106. Also, when information of position designation is inputted by the operator, the ruled-line control section 104 instructs a designated position correction section 107 to execute a correcting process, and transfers the corrected result to the figure editing control section 103.
Further, an operating system 108 controls to execute an application program containing the figure process system 101, and manages various hardware units comprised in the figure processing apparatus.
FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a process sequence or procedure, according to one preferred embodiment, in case that a figure processing operation such as a zooming operation of a figure is carried out by the figure processing apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a process for determining a shape or form of ruled lines to be displayed, according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a display process of circular ruled lines, according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a process to correct a position designated by the operator on a ruled line, according to the embodiment. FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating a process to correct a position on a circular ruled line.
FIG. 7A illustrates such a state that a zooming operation is to be conducted on a circle while displaying latticed rules thereon. FIG. 7B indicates such a state that the latticed rule has been changed into circular ruled lines. FIG. 7C indicates such a state that the operator has designated a size of zooming operation on the circular ruled lines. FIG. 7D shows a display screen under such a state that the zooming process for the circle is accomplished and then the original latticed rules are displayed. FIG. 8A shows such a state that oblique latticed rules are displayed with respect to a straight line for a zooming process. FIG. 8B shows a display screen under such a state that rectangular ruled lines are displayed with respect to a polygon for a zooming process.
In FIGS. 7A to 7D, and FIGS. 8A and 8B, reference numeral 71 denotes a figure drafting region, 72 a draft menu, 73 a figure editing menu, 75 a cursor, 76 a figure to be edited, and reference numerals 74, 77, 81 and 82 denote ruled lines.
Referring now to the flow charts shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, a description will be made of such a process for performing a zooming process of figures, depending upon a sort of figures to be processed, with employment of ruled lines having shapes adapted to the figure's sort. Examples of screen representations for the process operations are shown in FIGS. 7A to 7D, and FIGS. 8A and 8B.
Assuming now in this preferred embodiment that the zooming operations for the figures are carried so that concentric circular ruled lines are selected for a circle to be zoomed, latticed ruled lines for a straight line, and rectangular ruled lines analogous to a circumscribing rectangle of the figure to be zooming-processed for other sort of figures than the above described figures.
It is also assumed that as shown in FIG. 7A, latticed rules 74 are dislayed at the initial state, and a zooming operation is carried out for a circle 76.
When the zooming operation is initiated by selecting the operation from the figure editing menus 73 with the cursor 75, which are displayed with icons (see FIG. 7A and step 11 of FIG. 1), a check is first made if ruled lines are displayed or not (step 12). When the operation is performed in a mode without displaying ruled lines, since it is not required to process ruled lines, the process is directly advanced to step 16. At step 12, in case that "ruled lines are displayed", a display of the ruled lines is wiped out after storing data about the ruled lines being presently displayed (step 13). Thereafter, another ruled lines for aiding in the zooming operation are displayed at steps 14 and 15.
First, shape of the ruled lines to be displayed are determined (step 14).
FIG. 2 shows a detailed flow about the deciding process 14 for determining shape of the ruled lines as to the zooming process. In the flow chart of FIG. 2, the sort of figure processing operation to be executed is determined (step 201 of FIG. 2). Since the zooming operation is executed in this example, the process is advanced to step 202 at which the sort of figure to be processed is checked. Since the sort of figure to be processed is a circle in this example, a sort of ruled line is selected to be a "circle" (step 203); the center of the subjected circle to be processed is assumed as a datum point of display for the ruled line (step 204); and then a value obtained by multiplying the radius of the subjected circle by a minimum magnification is assumed as an interval of the ruled lines (step 205).
If the sort of figure to be processed is a straight line (step 206), then a sort of ruled line is selected to be an "oblique lattice" (step 207); a starting point of the straight line is set to the datum point of display for the ruled line (step 208); a value obtained by multiplying a length of the subjected straight line by a minimum zooming magnification is selected to be an interval of the ruled lines (step 209); and then the gradient of the subjected straight line is selected to be the gradient of the oblique lattice (step 210).
When the sort of figure to be processed is neither a circle, nor a straight line, a sort of ruled lines is selected to be "rectangle" (step 211), a cross point of diagonal lines of the circumscribed rectangle for the subjected figure is set to a datum point of the ruled lines (step 212); and an aspect ratio of the circumscribed rectangle of the subjected figure is set to an aspect ratio of the rectangle to be displayed as the ruled lines (step 213). If other figure processing operation than the zooming process is selected, the process is branched to procedures suitable for the sort of the selected processing operation (step 214).
When the shape of the ruled lines is decided through the deciding process 14, the ruled lines are displayed (step 15 of FIG. 1).
A detailed content of the ruled lines drawing process 15 is shown in FIG. 3. Since the sort of the ruled lines is circular (step 31 of FIG. 3), a process for drawing circular ruled lines on the display screen is called (step 32).
A detailed flow of the process for drawing the circular ruled lines is shown in FIG. 4, "O" is substituted by coordinates of the datum point of the ruled lines and ro by the interval of the ruled lines (step 41), and a counter i is set to 1 (step 42), then ri =ro �i is obtained in step 43. Those "ri " become radii of the circular ruled lines. An investigation is carried out for a distance up to a boundary of a region for displaying the ruled lines from the point "O", namely a figure drawing region 71 in this case in order to check whether or not the circular ruled lines can be drawn within the display screen (step 44). If the maximum distance is smaller than, or equal to "ri ", the process is ended because the ruled lines cannot be displayed. If the distance is greater than "ri ", a circle having the center at the point "O" and the radius of "ri " is displayed (step 45). The circle is clipped by the boundary of the display region (step 46). The process is returned to step 43, and then the process operations as defined from step 43 to step 46 are repeated until the ruled lines scales out of the display region.
In case that the sort of the ruled lines is a "lattice" (step 33), the process advances to a process for displaying latticed rules (step 34) and latticed rules 81 are displayed (see FIG. 8A). In case of other sorts, the process advances to a process for displaying rectangular rules (step 35) and rectangular rules 82 are displayed (see FIG. 8B).
Once ruled lines 77 are displayed (see FIG. 7B), the system waits for the operator to designate a size of the figure expected after the zooming process. When the user designates a point on the figure drawing region 71 (step 16 and FIG. 7C), it is checked if ruled lines are displayed (step 17). If it is judged that the ruled lines are displayed, a further check is performed with respect to a correction mode (step 18). If the checked correction mode if in "correction is required", a correction process on the designated point is carried out (step 19).
When the ruled lines are not displayed, or when the correction mode is in "correction is unnecessary", the zooming operation of the figure is carried out utilizing the coordinates of the designated point by the operator (step 21).
FIG. 5 is a flow chart for illustrating the correction process 19. First, a check is done whether or not a sort of ruled lines are circular (step 51). If YES, then a process for correcting the designated point on the circular ruled lines is executed (step 52). To the contrary, if NO, then a further check is made whether or not the sort of the ruled lines are lattice (step 53). If YES, then a process for latticed rules is performed (step 54). If NO, then a process for rectangular rules is performed (step 55).
Since the sort of the ruled lines is circular in this example (step 51), the process for circular rules is called (step 52).
A detailed content of the correcting process for circular rules (step 52) is shown in FIG. 6. It is assumed that point "P" is a designated position where the correcting process is performed, point "O" a datum point of ruled lines (FIG. 7B), and length "ro " an interval of ruled lines (step 601). A content of counter "i" is equal to 0 (step 602). Distance "r" between two points "O" and "P" (r=|OP|) is calculated (step 603). A radius "ri " of a ruled line is obtained at step 604 (ri =ro �i). Then, comparison is made between "r" and "ri " to determine a ruled line for correcting the point "P". If r=ri, then since the point "P" is located on the ruled line, this process operation is finished without performing further process operation (step 605). If the distance "r" is greater than the radius "ri " (step 606), then the content of the counter "i" is counted up by 1 (step 607) and the process is returned to step 604. If "r" is smaller than "ri ", then decision is made on such a rule line that is positioned closer to the point "P" among the (i-l)th ruled line and the i-th ruled line. In case that the two ruled lines are positioned equidistant from the point "P", the ruled line positioned outside is selected. The point "P" is corrected to a cross point between a straight line passing through the points "O" and "P" and the ruled lines determined in the above-described manner. In other words, at first, comparison is made between "r" and "ri -ro /2" (step 608). If r<ri -ro /2, then the point "P" is to be corrected on the ruled line of radius (ri -ro) (step 609). If r≧ri -ro /2, then the radius "r" is to be corrected on the ruled line of radius ri (step 610). A point "P" is obtained on a cross point between the ruled line to be used for correction and a line segment OP extending to the side of point "P" (step 611). Thus, point P is corrected to be located on point "P'" (step 612).
After the point designated by the operator has been corrected on the ruled line, the ruled lines for the zooming operation are wiped out, the saved data of the original square rules which have been displayed before the zooming operation is instructed are retrieved, and the original ruled lines are displayed again (step 20 of FIG. 1). And then the zooming process operation of the figure is carried out with employment of the coordinates of the corrected point "P" (step 21 of FIG. 7D).
If the sort of the ruled lines is "lattice" (step 53), then the process advances to a process for correcting the designated point on the latticed rules which will be defined later (step 54). If the sort of the ruled lines is not lattice, the process advances to another process for correcting the point relied on rectangular rules which will be defined later (step 35), then correction is executed.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an operator may easily employ suitable ruled lines for the subjected figures even in the same figure processing operation.
For instance, in a zooming operation, necessities for designating the zooming size are points selectable for a designated position by the operator and points aiding to determine the zooming size by the operator. In latticed rules, there are many points which cannot be used to zoom a circle, and which impede eye-estimation by the operator for estimating the zooming size, whereby it is difficult to designate a correct position. One of the reasons why the zooming operation is performed by the operator with employment of the ruled lines, is to correct the designated position on the ruled lines thereby to obtain the figure with a constant magnification. However, if the relationship between the position and size of the figure to be zoomed and the position and intervals of the ruled lines are inadequate, it is impossible to obtain a figure having an expected size.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ruled lines may be changed into those having suitable sorts, positions and sizes for the subjected figures, depending upon nature of the selected processing operation, and the operator can designate correct positions in order to obtain the required results.
Further, although three different sorts of ruled lines as circular rules, latticed rules and rectangular rules have been employed in the above described embodiment, other forms may be employed. For example, in a zooming operation of an ellipse, ruled lines having a shape analogous to the subjected ellipse may be employed. When a figure having an arbitrary shape is zoomed, ruled lines having a shape analogous to a contour thereof may be employed instead of circumscribed rectangle of this figure. Alternatively, when a rotation process is performed, radial-shaped ruled lines having a center at a datum point of rotation may be employed.
Although unit value of the minimum magnification of the zooming operation is fixed and the interval between the ruled lines is determined by utilizing this fixed unit value in the embodiment, the way to display the ruled lines may be modified, taking account of not only the shapes of the subjected figures, but also their sizes, in such a manner that a minimum magnification unit is selected to be 1, for small figures and 1/10 for large figures.
In accordance with the present invention, since the ruled lines suitable for the contents of the processing operations may be automatically displayed, depending upon the contents of the process operations and also the subjected figures, the user can readily designate correct positions for forming figures and correcting figures.

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 374 reviews
The folks at the front desk were wonderful and welcoming. Great clean hotel close to White House and all the monuments
Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. Although parking was a little pricey and sofa bed a little stiff, I would definitely stay here again. Rooms were comfortable and clean.
Room was booked for 4 adults but couch was only suitable for children. In-room coffee for 2 everyday, towels had to be requested extra each day and phone didn't work. Location good and Wi-fi ok.
Only one night for the Kennedy center. I would stay here again, no doubt. Everybody was very helpful and courteous.
Very nice however parking rates are very high

Jiminy Cricket explains the basics of safety around electricity, including lightning.
A Walt Disney I'M NO FOOL Cartoon.It's easy to prove that I'M NO FOOL WITH ELECTRICITY if I pay attention to Jiminy Cricket's admonitions.This is one of a short series of little television films in which Disney helped to inform viewers about basic safety concerns and the foolish ways in which lackadaisical folks can hurt themselves. The story of man's involvement with electricity since caveman days is also discussed. Jiminy Cricket, as voiced by the inimitable Cliff Edwards, is the perfect teacher.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

LA Robotics Club Message Board › arduino help 5 volt and 13 volt leds
|A former member
Hello, I'm working on a project that will have about 70 individually controlled LEDs. I've been using a shield that controls 32 pwms, and you can stack the shields for more and more pwms. So far so good, but their output is 5v. This works great for 5v leds, but I do need about 10 13v leds as flashers too. Do you guys know how I can control that? Maybe build some kinda gate that accepts the 5v signal, which switches to turn on and off a 13v signal? Maybe I'm making this too complicated. I should preface this by saying, I'm an artist, I'm just starting to get into Arduino.
I'd love to hear your ideas.
user 80978712
Santa Monica, CA
A common NPN darlington transistor like an 2N2222, or a Darlington array like the common ULN2003 would likely work for your application. The choice depends on the simultaneous current requirement for the 13V parts.
To put it as simply as possible, one Arduino pin controls one transistor. The 13V supply connects to the 'high side' (anode) of the LED. The 'collector' pin of the transistor connects to the cathode. When the Arduino pin supplies a positive voltage 3.3-5V to the 'base' pin of the transistor, the transistor turns on and completes the circuit, and 'switches the low side' (cathode) to ground.
If the 13 volt LED parts require a limiting resistor, put it in the circuit on either side of the LED. For more info, Google will return a thousand examples of switching 12 volts, or a relay, using an Arduino I/O pin with an NPN transistor. There will be plenty to read and simple schematics look at. I'm going the the Long Beach meetup later this month, if you are there we can talk about it.

Thanks, I'll see you at the meeting. It looks like it's just slighly more complicated being that it's 6.3v and 13v now;) See you Sunday.

Riley's mother was a pregnant feral kitty that I trapped. She was too far along to be spayed, so I kept her in a large storage room. It was two weeks before she had 5 babies. When the kittens were 7 weeks old I put an ad on the Walmart bullentin board and the next day a lady came and adopted 4 of the 5. Riley was so cute that I kept him. I had his mother spayed, and she still lives in the woods behind our house. I feed her whenever she comes by to visit. She has finally let me pet her on the back...Somethin- g she would never do when she was in the storage room.

How would his leadership style play on the national stage?
Barry Black's scolding hasn't broken the impasse in Congress, but prayer is just about all we have left.
We may be heading toward a "mutually hurting stalemate." (Yes, that's a real thing.)
The president can't force other leaders into a room and tell them they can't leave because he's the boss.
It's time for him to make the ultimate political self-sacrifice.
Even if the filibuster can make a politician more famous, it's an odd format for showcasing leadership.
Americans want negotiation, but Washington won't give it to us.
It took guts for Rep. Scott Rigell to break from the pack on the GOP's stopgap funding plan.
Maybe the notion that Americans are so willing to forgive and forget has gotten ahead of reality.
Perhaps the two leaders should have had that official sit-down in St. Petersburg after all.

Basilica di San Miniato al Monte information
Five minutes uphill from Piazzale Michelangelo is this wonderful Romanesque church, dedicated to St Minius, an early-Christian martyr in Florence said to have flown to this spot after his death down in the town (or, if you want to believe an alternative version, walked up the hill with head tucked underneath his arm). The church dates to the early 11th century, although its typical Tuscan multicoloured marble facade was tacked on a couple of centuries later.
Inside its unlit interior, 13th- to 15th-century frescoes adorn the south wall and intricate inlaid marble designs line the nave, leading to a fine Romanesque crypt. The sacristy in the southeast corner features frescoes by Spinello Arentino depicting the life of St Benedict. Slap-bang in the middle of the nave is the bijou Capella del Crocefisso , to which Michelozzo, Agnolo Gaddi and Luca della Robbia all contributed.

Plaza Mayor And Surroundings, Lima
41 Reviews

This is the main square in Lima and the centre of the old town. It is always busy, with people coming and going and often parades, demonstrations... 140 square meters.
Around it you will find:
- The Cathedral
- Archibishop Palace
- Government Palace
- Pizarro statue
Address: Centrum of Lima
There were so many balconies, that "limeños" never thought of them as being unique. Lima was simply considered "the city of the balconies"
In the viceroyship, the noble and wealthy Spanish families who settle in Lima built mansions very similar in architecture to the Arab-moresque style of spain
Among the custom of these inmigrants, it was considered inappropiate that their women go out of doors, that is the reason why the balconies, ladies of Lima´s high society to observe what ocurred in the street without having to go outside. But if women went outside street they must to hide or cover the face, "tapar" the face, so they call them "las tapadas"
Take the balconies tour, bacause has been declared that balconies were for Lima as was the Eiffel tower to Paris, the Statue of Liberty for New York and the Lions in Trafalgar Square for London

This is the main square in Lima, it's where in the 16th century Francisco Pizarro located the center of the city. The square has hosted some of the most important events in the history of the city, and you can find many important buildings in it, such as the Cathedral, the Government Palace, the Cityhall, the Archbishop Palace and the Club de la Unión.
Address: Centrum of Lima
This pedestrian streets connects the Plaza de Armas and the Plaza San Martín. It used to be a very important and aristocrat street, nowadays it's mainly a shopping street, but you can find many interesting building while you walk along. Don't forget this is a very busy street in Lima, so be careful with your belongings while walking around... it should be ok, I was there in the night time and it didn't feel dangerous, but you should watch out just in case!
Address: Centrum of Lima
You don't really notice how pretty it is until you look back and notice the modern meets neoclassic arched glass ceiling. There's also a postage museum, but we didn't go in. The souvenier stands that line the back are a little different from the other ones around Plaza Mayor -- I got a kitschy pack of postcards showing traditional Peruvian fashions as 50's-esque illustrations.
Address: Centrum of Lima
Although the Archbishop's Palace has baroque elements and ornate cedar balconies which are located over the main doors - elements which might make you think it was old, it was really only constructed in the mid 1920s. It is next to the Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas and is the residence of the Archbishop of Lima, and the administrative headquarters of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lima.
It is listed as It is a popular tourist attraction but I don't know if it is open to the public. We didn't go in.
The first major church began construction in 1535. Pope Paul III turned it into an episcopal seat in 1541. In 1547, Lima was elevated to an archdiocese, which turned it by a short period, in the more extensive ecclesiastical circumscription of the world. The patron of the episcopal seat is Saint Rosa of Lima
Located on the land that Francisco Pizarro allocated to be the residence of the head priest of Lima after the foundation of the city in 1535, the current building was opened on December 8, 1924.
The palace was designed by the Polish Peruvian architect Ricardo de Jaxa Malachowski. The location formerly belonged to the city's first police station and the city's first jail.
There is a granite sculpture of Saint Turibius of Mongrovejo the patron protector of the Archdiocese. The palace also displays two flagpoles, one for the Peruvian flag and another for flag of the Vatican. The interior has a sculpture of Santa Barbara the patron of Cuba. The ceiling is illuminated by famous French stained glass windows and the interior also contains marble staircases with wooden handrails.
Address: Centrum of Lima
Every morning after my breakfast i walked to Plaza Mayor. Every morning it was misty and it felt like it would begin to rain. It never did though. Around noon the sun was shining and it was nice and warm. Plaza Mayor is surrounded by beautiful and interesting buildings and is real heart of the city. Vendors come to you and try to sell their stuff but they are never too persistant. You tell them 'no' in firm tone and they leave you alone.
Address: Centrum of Lima
This very impressive building is the residence of the Archbishop of Lima, and holds the administration of the archdiocese. It's located in the Plaza de Armas, next to the Cathedral. Most impressive are the balconies which belong to the "neo-colonial" style, that was developed in the 20th century.

The main place of old Lima. Nowadays Lima is so big that there are a lot of other big "main places" of several districts of the "Municipalidad de Lima". Every district as for example Miraflores, Lince, San Isidro, Jesus Maria, Surco as as well Lima (also a district -the central district) etc has it´s own townhall and government.
Here around the main plaza de armas are placed the gigantic cathedral of Lima, the government building of the peruvian president and several other oficial buildings. Very special is the fact, that all the buildings around are painted in yellow....to have a contrast to the often grey sky. Also amazing are the wooden balkonies at some of the buildings around the plaza.

The Plaza de Armas (also known as Plaza Mayor) of Lima is a World Heritage Site, declared by UNESCO. Along its two sides, there are arcades with shops - Portal de Escribanos and Portal de Botoneros. The surrounding buildings are of lovely colonial architecture with wooden balconies and grilled ornate windows.
The Cathedral was reduced to rubble during an earthquake in the 1700s. This is a reconstruction with amazing silver-covered altars, fine woodwork, walls of intricate mosaic designs.
San Francisco, on the other hand, withstood the same earthquake. This monastery is famous for the tilework and ceiling in the cloisters. There are interesting catacombs under the church that can be visited.
There are many other buildings that visitors can admire. They include the Palacio Torre Tagle (Jr Ucayali 363), Casa Aliaga (Union 224), Casa de la Rada (Jr Ucayali 358), San Pedro (Jr Ucayali), etc...
Rio Rimac is the pretty-dry river that cuts through the centre. If you observe under the bridge, you may sometimes spot some young boys.
My host told me these are the 'piranhas'. They are the type of robbers who attack tourists, usually those who just arrived, tired, from a night bus, in droves of up to 20. They just attack the poor guy, slipping their hands into every pocket and crevice on the tourist, underneath the shirt, stripping the tourist of his backpack and carting the backpack off.

You can't go to LIma without going to Plaza de Armas (Mayor). Of course, every Peru's city and village have it's own Plaza de Armas but you can't miss this one: beautiful architecture and peaceful sector in the central of a very busy and noisy city.
Address: Centrum of Lima
The Plaza Mayor was created by Fransisco Pizarro.
On the sides of the plaza are:
- The Presidential Palace
- The Cathedral
- The Archbishop´s Palace
- The Municipality building.
Some years ago the plaza and surrounding streets were filled with merchants, but they have now been prohibited to be there.
The two-storey balconies and galleries have no connection with local tradition and are purely arbitrary. But the plaza still conservs some of its charm from the past.
The fountain in the middle is from 1650.
The place has also been called Plaza de Armas.
Address: Plaza Mayor
This is the bridge 'Puente de Piedra' over the river Rimac.
Water supply to the city is taken out from the river many miles east of the city. (see some notations in connection with Huachipa in my Peru page)
It is low water in the river when taking this picture.
I would not necessarily describe this as a must see activity, but close to the Presidential Palace is this statue of Francisco Pizzaro, the Spaniard who conquered the Inca empire. I find it interesting that they have a statue to honor this man, when in reality, Lima and the country of Peru was better off under the Inca Empire than it is now.
The XVI Century Plaza de Armas is probably the best place to start your visit to Lima.
There you will find the Cathedral and the Archbishop´s Palace next to each other, the Government Palace and many other beautiful colonial buildings that earned Lima´s historical city center the deserved title of Unesco World Heritage Site.

With this paper, we present a novel framework for message exchange in location-based services removing the need for a central trusted third party. In addition, we show, that this approach can be used to realize an "attestation of origin" feature allowing for better value-added services. Furthermore, we show how to apply this generic setup for the realization of a privacy-aware online social network.
