Graphics and visual representations are one of the most effective ways to neatly convey complex data sets to readers. This course presents both theoretical and hands-on mapping and graphical problems to students. The course teaches students the basics of GIS based mapping for producing publishable work. Students will develop basic skills in computer-aided mapping and computer drafting primarily using ARCGIS, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Microsoft PowerPoint. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6:30pm HZWLUG - Hazelwood Linux Users Group WhenTue, May 24, 6:30pm . 9:00pm Where3455 McKelvey Rd., Bridgeton, MO 63044 (map) Description http://hzwlug.sluug.org/ TEMPORARY LOCATION CHANGE! for May 2011!

Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Washington University speaking on Citizen Science: How YOU can find aliens, fold proteins, measure galaxies and more.... Professor Pless is very popular with the students and has received some of the top teaching ratings. Here are some of the students' comments: he is hilarious, he can make anything interesting; he is such a funny, great guy.... this is my favorite class to attend; he is so cool and his explanations are very clear; he really, really knows his stuff; awesome lecturer, he is incredible! This is another rare opportunity to hear +a topic in computer science that is applicable to us and that will be clearly presented and fun! SETI@home, Folding@home, and Galaxy Zoo are games that allow anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to help solve large-scale scientific problems. Seti@home is a scientific experiment that uses internet-connected computers in the Search for Extra-Terrestial Intelligence (SETI). Folding@home +is a distributed computing project where people throughout the world can help scientists study diseases by folding proteins on their personal computers. Galaxy Zoo uses Hubble Space Telescope imagery of thousands of galaxies for people to classify according to their shapes. Dr. Pless, in conjunction with three other university centers, will be overseeing the ImageQuest project to enhance citizen science efforts that involve biological imaging. Professor Pless will share his perspectives on why the public can beat the best computer programs and even trained researchers on some problems. He will also highlight +new opportunities for engaging in âtizen scien5%) +nd mobile phone applications. Professor Pless' research at Washington University in St. Louis focuses on Computer Vision. His outlook on life is buoyed by knowing that people are still better than computers at many activities. Dr. Pless is back by popular demand.

McDonnell Hall is accessible from Forsyth Boulevard via Tolman Way. The event, cosponsored by NASA's Missouri Space Grant Consortium, is open to the public free of charge. Rich will explain how St.Louis scientists play a prominent role in the exploration of our solar system. NASA's robot spacecraft and orbiting telescopes are actively exploring planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, from Mercury out to Saturn. One spacecraft is well on its way to Pluto. Images and data are beamed back to Earth to be archived in St. Louis and studied by planetary scientists from all over the world. It is here that all of the images and instrument readings for solid surfaces from all NASA missions, past and present, are stored and cataloged. It is in St. Louis, at Washington University and UM-St. Louis, that scientists are studying the origin of the Sun, Earth and the other planets; the evolution of planets and moons; the location of metal, mineral, and water resources on the Moon; indications of prehistoric water on the surface of Mars, and other topics on the frontiers of planetary science. Rich Heuermann is the Outreach Program Coordinator of the NASA Missouri Space Grant Consortium at Washington University.

Bill Odom returns with another dazzeling presentation of the neatest tricks with the Vim Editor! "Exploring Vim Editor's Visual Mode: Seeing Is Believing." "vi" stands for "visual," but it's Vim that lives up to the promise of the name. If you haven't taken advantage of Visual Mode, you're missing out on one of Vim's most powerful (and time-saving) enhancements over stock vi. This workshop will cover the essentials of Visual Mode, explain how it fits into the "vi way," and dive into some of its less-obvious, but incredibly useful, capabilities. ============================================================================== Thursday, May 12 ============================================================================== 10:00am WCORCC-WE - MS Word SIG Excel SIG Thu, May 12, 10am . 3pm Daniel Boone Branch Library West County Older Residents Computer Club http://wcorcc.tripod.com/ MS Word SIG - 10:00 AM MS Excel SIG - 1:00 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11:00am SCORCC-F Financial SIG Thu, May 12, 11am . 1pm Tesson Ferry Library Branch, 9920 Lin-Ferry Road, St. Louis, MO 63123 South County Older Residents Computer Club http://www.scorcc.org/ ** *Membership Fee Required* ** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12:00pm Gateway/400 Group "SQL" Thu, May 12, 12:00pm . 1:30pm 12031 Lackland Rd, St Louis, MO (map) VENUE: Spazio's in WestPort, at the Comfort Inn http://www.gateway400.org/ "SQL" Sheryl M.

They can be inserted into a table or matrix and their axis size automatically. They can also be used as stand-alone charts. Data bars represent the value i n a cell by the bar.s length. The scale of multiple bars in the same table or matrix enable easy visual comparisons between cells. State indicators are v isualized as a set of built-in icon sets to depict the status against a value, goal, or a trend. You can also create your own icon sets.
