For the group of QuadCities which flank the Mississippi River in Iowa and Illinois QuadCities The QuadCities in the United States U.S. state of Minnesota consist of the cities of Virginia, Minnesota Virginia , Eveleth, Minnesota Eveleth , Gilbert, Minnesota Gilbert , and Mountain Iron, Minnesota Mountain Iron located in the Arrowhead Region , overlapping Iron Range region, and St. Louis County, Minnesota St. Louis County .

History The QuadCities, all founded in the 1890s and early 1900s, owe their existence mainly to the mining industry that came to the area around that time. Their prosperity grew as the mines grew. Unfortunately, many of the mines shut down during the Great Depression and didn t resume full work until World War II. This was approximately the peak point for the industry in the area. Slowly the cities, though increasing in area, decreased in population. Populations According to the 2000 census , the QuadCities have a population of 17,868. Virginia has 9,157 residents. Eveleth has 3,865 residents Mountain Iron has 2,999 residents and Gilbert has 1,847 residents. Recent estimates of the 2010 census have declared that Virginia alone has lost about seven percent of its total population, the other cities expected to lose too. Economy and industry The mining industry, long lasting since the early 1900s, is slowing declining production in the area.

Quad buffering provides double buffering for each eye, summing up to four buffers Front left buffer Back left buffer Front right buffer Back right buffer It allows to swap the front and back buffers for both eyes in sync. Quad buffering requires special support by the graphic card and is therefore not available on many low cost models. 3D standards like OpenGL ref http www.opengl.org registry doc glspec30.20080811.pdf OpenGL 3.0 Specification, Chapter 4 ref support quad buffering.

A quad edge data structure is a computer representation of the topology of a dimension two dimensional or three dimensional CW complex map , that is, a graph theory graph drawn on a closed surface . Overview The quad edge data structure represents simultaneously both the map, its dual graph dual and mirror image. can represent the most general form of a map, admitting vertices and faces of degree 1 and 2. is a variant of the earlier winged edge data structure. The fundamental idea behind the quad edge structure is the recognition that a single edge, in a closed polygonal mesh topology, sits between exactly two faces and exactly two vertices. Thus, it can represent a dual of the graph simply by reversing the convention on what is a vertex and what is a face. Details The quad edge structure gets its name from the general mechanism by which they are stored. A single Edge structure conceptually stores references to up to two faces, two vertices, and 4 edges. The four edges stored are the edges starting with the two vertices that are attached to the two stored faces. Uses Much like winged edge Winged Edge , quad edge structures are used in programs to store the topology of a 2D or 3D polygonal mesh. The mesh itself does not need to be closed in order to form a valid quad edge structure. Using a quad edge structure, iterating through the topology is quite easy. Often, the interface to quad edge topologies is through directed edges. This allows the two vertices to have explicit names start and end , and this gives faces explicit names as well left and right, relative to a person standing on start and looking in the direction of end . The four edges are also given names, based on the vertices ... edge Doubly connected edge list References The quad edge data structure was described in the paper ... links http www.cs.cmu.edu afs andrew scs cs 15 463 2001 pub src a2 quadedge.html A quad edge implementation in C . http www.ic.unicamp.br stolfi EXPORT software c 2000 05 04 libquad A quad edge ... more details
