DISPLAYTITLE dynamic cast In the C programming language, the code dynamic cast code operator is a part of the run time type information RTTI system that performs a type conversion typecast . However, unlike an ordinary C programming language C style typecast, a type safety check is incurred at Run time computing runtime , and it will either throw an exception handling exception when dealing with references or return a null pointer when dealing with pointers if the types are not compatible. Thus, code dynamic cast code behaves more like a typecast in a programming language such as Java programming language Java , rather than the C style casting which performs no runtime check. Example code Suppose some subroutine function takes an object computer science object of type code A code as its argument, and wishes to perform some additional operation if the object passed is actually an instance of code B code , a subclass computer science subclass of code A code . This can be accomplished using code dynamic cast code as follows. source lang cpp include typeinfo For std bad cast include iostream For std cerr, etc. class A public Since RTTI is included in the virtual method table there should be at least one virtual function. virtual void foo other members... class B public A public void methodSpecificToB other members... void my function A& my a try B& my b dynamic cast B& my a my b.methodSpecificToB catch const std bad cast& e std cerr e.what std endl std cerr This object is not of type ... cast B my a if my b 0 my b methodSpecificToB else std cerr This object is not of type B std endl source See also static cast reinterpret cast const cast External links http publib.boulder.ibm.com infocenter ... code dynamic cast code operator at IBM Mac OS X Compilers http msdn2.microsoft.com en us library cby9kycs.aspx code dynamic cast code operator at MSDN DEFAULTSORT Dynamic Cast Category C Category Articles with underscores in the title fr Dynamic cast it Dynamic cast ru Dynamic cast ... more details

A colour cast is a tint of a particular colour, usually unwanted, which affects the whole of a photographic image evenly. Certain types of light can cause film and digital cameras to have a colour cast. In general, the human eye does not notice the unnatural colour, because our eyes and brains adjust and compensate for different types of light in ways that cameras cannot. In film, colour casts can also be caused by problems in development. Improper timing or imbalanced chemical mixtures can cause unwanted casts. Solutions Image Colour Cast Example Orange.JPG thumb 200px Example of a photo with an orange colour cast due to incandescent light Image Colour Cast Example Corrected.jpg thumb 200px The same photo with the colour cast corrected There are two main causes of colour cast, Sunlight or cool light and Incandescent Light Incandescent light or warm light .

Image Bellycast.png right thumb 200px Plaster belly cast of pregnant woman s torso A belly cast is a three dimensional plaster sculpture of a woman s pregnant abdomen for the purpose of having a keepsake of the pregnancy . They are also known by other names such as a belly mask, pregnancy belly cast, a pregnant plaster cast and prenatal casts to name a few. Belly casts are often made during the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy and some women choose to make a series of belly casts thereby capturing the progression of their pregnancy. Belly casts are made by preparing the skin with a coating of Vaseline or a similar lubricant. Strips of wet plaster gauze are layered over the pregnant abdomen to replicate the mother s and her unborn baby s shape in her. Some women choose to also cast their breast s, arm s, hand s and thigh s into a full torso sculpture. The plaster sets in about 20 30 minutes some fast setting strips set in as quickly as five minutes. Once set the mask is then gently removed by the mother using a wriggling motion. It takes 24 48 hours for the belly cast to completely dry. Gesso is a product that is supplied with most providers of belly masking or belly casting kits that is painted onto the belly mask after it has dried and cured to stop it further absorbing moisture from the air. Gesso also works as a surface primer for painting a belly cast while aiding to extend and preserve the life of a belly mask.

Cast earth is a modified and patented building material developed since the mid 1990s by Harris Lowenhaupt . Based on the earlier unpatented Turkish Alker, it is a concrete like composite with soil of a suitable composition as its bulk component, but is set with about 15 gypsum calcined gypsum plaster plaster of Paris instead of Portland cement cement . It can be used to form solid walls that need not be reinforced with steel frame steel or timber framing , unless extra earthquake construction seismic reinforcement is necessary. Forms are set up and filled with cast earth, which sets quickly and solidly. Once the forms are removed the wall stays sound. The calcined gypsum sets quickly, which is one quality that has historically made plaster of Paris so useful. When calcined gypsum is added to soil, however, the setting time is reduced even further, to mere minutes. Often this quick setting is too fast and a retardant must be added to the mix so it can be poured. In Alker, lime is added to extend working time to 20 minutes. Cast earth uses another retardant for an even greater working time. When the structure is dry, it is similar to adobe in various ways, outperforming it in tensile strength , hardness, and erosion resistance. It also has less tendency to crack and shrink. Cast earth walls do soak up water, however, if they are not sealed with a silicone coating or other waterproofer. Using cast earth in place of other materials reduces the time and labor needed to complete a project. Machinery is used in place of much of the manual labour human labor during cast earth construction. It is often less costly, since earth and calcined gypsum are plentiful and cheap materials to acquire. Few contractors are licensed in the use of cast earth today, but if public demand for structures made of the material grows, more builders will seek training in its use.
