Describes how to install and run GTest, a Google framework to conduct unit testing in C++

Build and install Google Test

Download the latest_ (1.7.0) from Google Code (Q: where is it going to live, once GCode shuts down?)

Then follow the primer_, but more to the point, the README (YMMV) Having installed CLion and cmake, this is how I built gtest:

brew install cmake
cd gtest-1.7.0

Lidar_walkthrough

Processing LiDAR to extract building heights

Walk through

Detailed walk through of building extraction using postgis

First lets pull a data layer from of openstreetmap. You can do this any which way you’d like, as there are a variety of methods for pulling openstreetmap data from their database. Check the [wiki] (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Downloading_data) for a comprehensive list. My favourite method thus far is pulling the data straight into QGIS using the open layers plugin. For those who may want to explore this method, check [this tutorial] (http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/downloading_osm_data.html). For building extraction you only need building footprints, and include the building tags. Not all polygons are of type building in OSM, so we can download all the polygons, and then filter the layer for only polygons tagged as buildings.

LiDAR data was pulled from USGS via the Earth Explorer site. [Here] (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/ele

import (
"net/http"
"database/sql"

"log"

cython tricks

Cython

Cython has two major benefits:

  1. Making python code faster, particularly things that can't be done in scipy/numpy
  2. Wrapping/interfacing with C/C++ code

Cython gains most of it's benefit from statically typing arguments. However, statically typing is not required, in fact, regular python code is valid cython (but don't expect much of a speed up). By incrementally adding more type information, the code can speed up by several factors. This gist just provides a very basic usage of cython.

Merge multiple PDFs using Ghostscript

A simple Ghostscript command to merge two PDFs in a single file is shown below:

gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=combine.pdf -dBATCH 1.pdf 2.pdf

Install Ghostscript:

Type the command sudo apt-get install ghostscript to download and install the ghostscript package and all of the packages it depends on.

GitHub Standard Fork & Pull Request Workflow

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j
