PPG Industries, Inc. is an American Fortune 500 company and global supplier of paints, coatings, and specialty materials. With headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, PPG operates in more than 70 countries around the globe. By revenue it is the largest coatings company in the world followed by AkzoNobel.[2] It is headquartered in PPG Place, an office and retail complex in downtown Pittsburgh, and is known for its glass facade designed by Postmodern architect Philip Johnson.

Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company was founded in 1883 by Captain John Baptiste Ford and John Pitcairn, Jr., at Creighton, Pennsylvania.

Based in Creighton, Pennsylvania (about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh along the Allegheny River), PPG soon became the United States' first commercially successful producer of high-quality, thick flat glass using the plate process. PPG was also the world's first plate glass plant to power its furnaces with locally produced natural gas, an innovation which rapidly stimulated widespread industrial use of the cleaner-burning fuel.[3]

PPG expanded quickly. By 1900, known as the "Glass Trust", it included 10 plants, had a 65 percent share of the U.S. plate glass market, and had become the nation's second largest producer of paint.[4] Today, known as PPG Industries, the company is a multibillion-dollar, Fortune 500 corporation with 150 manufacturing locations around the world. It now produces coatings, glass, fiberglass, and other chemicals.[3]

Pitcairn served as a director of PPG from its start, its president from 1897 to 1905, and chairman of the board from 1894 until his death in 1916.[5]

Ditzler Color Company, established in 1902 in Detroit as an automotive color concern, was purchased by Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (now PPG) in 1928. On 19 December 1968 the company changed its name to PPG Industries, Inc., to show its diverse offerings. In the mid-1980s, Cipisa, a Spanish paint company was acquired and renamed PPG Ibérica and its CEO, Pere Nadal Carres, became CEO of PPG Ibérica.[citation needed] In 1990 PPG founded Transitions Optical as a joint venture with Essilor.[6]

In October 2000, PPG Industries announced it had agreed to buy Courtaulds Aerospace for $512.5 million.[7] Based in Glendale, California, the aerospace business has annual sales of approximately $240 million, employs 1,200 people. It manufactures sealants in Glendale, California and Shildon, England; coatings and sealants in Mojave, California; glazing sealants at Gloucester City, New Jersey; and coatings at Gonfreville, France. The business also operates 14 application-support centers located in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

In 2006, the company rolled out a two-tiered pay system which resulted in massive strikes at union locations across the country. The system, now in place company-wide for non-salaried employees, provides lower rates of pay and fewer benefits to those employed after the roll-out than those employed before the roll-out. In West Virginia, after a bitter five-month strike, the company still refused to eliminate the two-tiered system. In Lake Charles, Louisiana, the employment contracts of union employees had to be extended during a strike regarding the two-tiered system.[8]

In 2007, the company was involved in a lawsuit on failing to disclose a purchase reduction of its two major auto glass customers.[9]

In 2007, PPG in Australia acquired Barloworld Coatings (Australia) Pty Limited, producer of the Taubmans, Bristol, and White Knight brands of paint.[10]

On 2 January 2008, PPG acquired the SigmaKalon Group of companies for $3.2 billion from private investment firm Bain Capital, strongly increasing its paint and specialty coatings business.[11]

In 2008, PPG renamed their automotive glass division PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works) and sold a majority of it to Kohlberg & Company. PPG retained 40% ownership of PGW until March 2016 when they sold their stake to automotive parts salvage company LKQ Corporation.[12][13]

In 2012, PPG acquired Dyrup A/S, founded in Denmark in 1928 as S. Dyrup & Co A/S by Sigurd Dyrup and Axel Monberg and Ejnar Thorsen of MT Højgaard, some of whose brands are Dyrup, GORI (outdoor woodcare paint), and Bondex.

In April 2013, PPG completed the acquisition of AkzoNobel North American architectural coatings business including Glidden, Liquid Nails, and Flood brands.[14] 2013 revenue was US$15.1 billion, while assets were US$15.9 billion.[citation needed]

On April 1, 2014, PPG finalized the sale of Transitions Optical to its joint venture partner, Essilor International of France; however, PPG’s technical center in Monroeville will continue to provide research and development services for Transitions.[15][16] On November 5, 2014 PPG closed a deal, to purchase Mexican Consorcio Comex, S.A. de C.V. (“Comex”) for $2.3 billion [17]

In April 2015, PPG Industries completed the acquisition of REVOCOAT, a global supplier of sealants.[citation needed] Chuck Bunch remains Executive Chairman, while Michael McGarry serves as President & CEO.

In July 2016, PPG announced its sale of the flat glass business to Vitro, a glass manufacturer based in Mexico, for $750 million.[18]

In October 2016, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced the acquisition of the naming rights to Consol Energy Center by PPG; the facility will be known as PPG Paints Arena.[19]

In September 2017, PPG announced the sale of its remaining fiberglass operations to Nippon Electric Glass for $541 million. This was following PPG's 2016 sale of its European fiberglass operations to NEG, and divesting its ownership in two other Asian fiberglass joint ventures.[20]

In March 2017, the company launched an unsolicited takeover bid of €20.9 billion, which was promptly rejected by AkzoNobel’s management.[21] Days later, the company launched an increased bid of €24.5 billion ($26.3 billion), which was again rejected by AkzoNobel’s management.[22] A number of shareholders urged AkzoNobel to explore the offer and subsequent negotiations.[23][24] In April, activist investor Elliott Investors called for the removal of the Chairman of Akzo, Antony Burgmans, following Akzo's refusal to enter talks with PPG. Elliott, which has a 3.25% stake in the company, claimed it was one of a group of investors that met the Dutch legal threshold of 10% voting-share support, which is needed to call an extraordinary meeting to vote on a proposal to remove Burgmans.[25] On April 13, Templeton Global Equity said it was among another group of investors calling for an extraordinary meeting of AkzoNobel shareholders to discuss Burgmans' continued tenure as Chairman.[26] Later in the same month Akzo outlined its plan to separate its chemicals division and pay shareholders €1.6 billion in extra dividends, in order to attempt to hold off PPG.[27][28] The new Akzo strategy was dismissed by PPG, which claimed that their offer represented better value for shareholders,[29][30] supported by activist Akzo shareholder Elliot Advisors.[31] On April 24, a day before Akzo's annual meeting of shareholders, PPG increased its final offer by approximately 8% to $28.8 billion (€26.9 billion, €96.75 per share), with Akzo's share price rising 6% to a record of €82.95 per share.[32] Akzo shareholder Columbia Threadneedle Investments urged the company to open dialogue with PPG,[33] whilst PPG claimed that the deal would add to earning within its first year.[34] Great Britain's largest pension scheme investors, Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), urged Akzo to engage with PPG.[35] On 2 May, Reuters revealed that the supervisory board of Akzo was meeting to discuss how to deal with PPG's third offer, still maintaining it did not value the company highly enough.[36] In early May, Akzo again rejected PPG's bid, citing the deal still undervalues the company, as well as potentially facing antitrust risks, and not addressing other concerns such as "cultural differences". Under Dutch company law, PPG must now decide to either make a formal bid or walk away.[37] In early June PPG chose to abandon pursuit.[38][39]

In May 2021, PPG completed the acquisition of Wörwag, a German coating manufacturer.[40]

In November 2010, PPG agreed to remove 700,000 tons of toxic waste from Canal Crossing, a brownfield site in Jersey City, New Jersey where the company operated a chromium processing plant between 1954 and 1963.[41][42][43][44] Stringent standards were agreed to in a federal court settlement.[45]

Lime Lake Reclamation Project of PPG Industries in Barberton, Ohio, received special awards in the National Beneficial Use of Biosolids Program from Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) region 5 in 1998.[citation needed]

According to the book Strangers in Their Own Land by Arlie Russell Hochschild, Pittsburgh Plate Glass ordered employees to dump toxic tar in Bayou D'Inde in Lake Charles, Louisiana.[46]

PPG has been involved in sports for numerous years, including being the primary sponsor for the CART Indy car series from 1980 to 1997. The company has been a partner of Team Penske in CART, IndyCar Series and NASCAR Cup Series since 1984.[47] Since the race's inception in 1994, PPG has sponsored the trophy for the Brickyard 400.

On October 4, 2016, it was announced that The Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh would be giving up its naming rights, and transferred to PPG, making the arena named the PPG Paints Arena.[48]

PPG also partners with Formula 1 racing teams. They have a partnership with Williams F1 Team since 2017.[49]

PPG is the prime sponsor of John Force Racing and makes all their cars and paints and decals them before each NHRA race.[50]

As noted, the draw functions in PyGame don't actually do blending the way you might expect. From the PyGame documentation:

Most of the arguments accept a color argument that is an RGB triplet. These can also accept an RGBA quadruplet. The alpha value will be written directly into the Surface if it contains pixel alphas, but the draw function will not draw transparently.

What you'll probably want to do is essentially what Alex Martelli said--create an intermediate software surface with an alpha channel, draw your shape onto that surface, then blit with blending onto the final surface. If you've used PyGame's font rendering, notice that it works roughly the same, except that Font.render creates the temporary surface for you.

I'm a bit rusty with Python and PyGame these days, but here's a quick example that hopefully doesn't have too many mistakes:

# returns a surface with the circle drawn onto it"def render_transparent_circle(color, radius, width=0):"    size = radius * 2"    temp_surf = pygame.Surface((size, size), SRCALPHA)"    temp_surf.fill(Color(0, 0, 0, 0))"    pygame.draw.circle(temp_surf, color, (radius, radius), radius, width)"    return temp_surf""# draw a half-opaque blue circle of radius 30 to the display at point (50, 100)"def test():"    transp_blue = Color(0, 0, 255, 128)"    screen = pygame.display.get_surface()"    circle = render_transparent_circle(transp_blue, 30)"    screen.blit(circle, (50, 100))

p.s. -- If you're going to display the same shape multiple times, you may want to consider caching the intermediate surface (but don't forget to profile to find out if it helps).

For the particular functionality that you want, you'll need to build a custom function. Honestly, the logic behind the magic __call() function isn't all that difficult.

Something like this should do the trick:

public function __call($function, $args)"{"    // Expects findBy to be the first part of the function"    $criteria = substr($function, 6);"    $criteria = strtolower($criteria);""    $select = $this->select()"                ->from($this->_name)"                ->where($criteria . ' = ?', $args);"}

Obviously if you want it to handle more complex cases like arrays or multiple criteria parameters, you would need to implement better checking but this should provide the basic idea.

The lower environments should try to match the production environment as closely as possible given the resources available. This applies to all development efforts regardless of whether they are python-based or even web-based. In practical terms, most organizations are not willing to spend that type of money. In this case try to make at least the environment that is directly below production as close to production as possible.

Some of the variable to keep in mind are:

It's not too difficult to write your own little parsor for that using PyParsing.

import json"from pyparsing import *""data = """var txns = ["   { apples: '100', oranges: '20', type: 'SELL'}, "   { apples: '200', oranges: '10', type: 'BUY'}]""""""def js_grammar():"    key = Word(alphas).setResultsName("key")"    value = QuotedString("'").setResultsName("value")"    pair = Group(key + Literal(":").suppress() + value)"    object_ = nestedExpr("{", "}", delimitedList(pair, ","))"    array = nestedExpr("[", "]", delimitedList(object_, ","))"    return array + StringEnd()""JS_GRAMMAR = js_grammar()""def parse(js):"    return JS_GRAMMAR.parseString(js[len("var txns = "):])[0]""def to_dict(object_):"    return dict((p.key, p.value) for p in object_)""result = ["    {"transaction": to_dict(object_)}"    for object_ in parse(data)]"print json.dumps(result)

This is going to print

[{"transaction": {"type": "SELL", "apples": "100", "oranges": "20"}}," {"transaction": {"type": "BUY", "apples": "200", "oranges": "10"}}]

You can also add the assignment to the grammar itself. Given there are already off-the-shelf parsers for it, you should better use those.

It really depends on the specific modules you are using. I am running several 64-bit Linux systems and I have yet to come across problems with any of the C modules that I use.

Most C modules can be built from source, so you should read about the Python distribution utility distutils to see how you can build these modules if you cannot find 64-bit binaries.

Whether a specific module will work in a 64-bit environment depends on how the code was written. Many modules work correctly when compiled for 64-bits, however there is a chance that it won't. Many popular modules such those from SciPy work just fine.

In short you will either need to just try the module on a 64-bit system or you will have to find the developer/project page and determine if there is a 64-bit build or if there are known bugs.
