@cvp, thanks! Have been hacking more on the laptop lately.

@rb, if we are talking something like a photo with rectangles, you could also use the iOS Vision framework, see here.

I have a Python implementation lying around somewhere, let me know if that seems interesting.

@rb, are the rectangles exactly "squared" or can they be in any position in the image? Are the rectangles solid colour and the background another colour, or is the background (say) white with (say) black rectangular outlines? Do you know what the colours are or can they be anything?

@cvp, impressive! Know how hard these seemingly simple things can be.

@samsonantony, as one possible building block. here is ObjC code that can be used to save a video clip slowed down without audio:

@JonB, your post should be pinned to the top of the forum, wonder if @ccc has access.

@Robert_Tompkins, I have the same issue, and no workaround.

@talns100, as others have pointed out, int is a quick way to get the number. Always a good idea to wrap it in try ... except ValueError though, to either set a default or give the user some guidance on what you expected to receive.

Usually, if all I want is an int, I prefer to use int(round(float(input()))), just to be that little bit more tolerant of users who input 1.0, for example.

@Steven11, on MacBook, would recommend PyCharm. Community edition is free, and the ease of navigating in the code is just something you cannot live without once you get used to it. Can be a bit heavy on the machine, though.

@cvp, sure, there’s pros and cons, and @ihf’s use case should provide some guidance here.

But you can have a TextView that resizes to fit the paragraph, and TableView rows that also resize to their contents.
