How can I show vertical text?

Hi all, does any body knows how can I show a vertical text using g2.drawString() method?
For example:
g2.drawString("Help", x, y);
I want the text appear like:
p
l
e
H
of course with the correct rotation of each character.
thanks in advance

Here's the code we use in the JFreeChart project:
 * A utility method for drawing rotated text.
 * 
 * A common rotation is -Math.PI/2 which draws text 'vertically' (with the top of the
 * characters on the left).
 * @param text the text.
 * @param g2 the graphics device.
 * @param x the x-coordinate.
 * @param y the y-coordinate.
 * @param rotation the clockwise rotation (in radians).
 public static void drawRotatedString(String text, Graphics2D g2,
 float x, float y, double rotation) {
 if ((text == null) || (text.equals(""))) {
 return;
 AffineTransform saved = g2.getTransform();
 // apply the rotation...
 AffineTransform rotate = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(rotation, x, y);
 g2.transform(rotate);
 // workaround for JDC bug ID 4312117 and others...
 TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(text, g2.getFont(), g2.getFontRenderContext());
 tl.draw(g2, x, y);
 // replaces this code...
 //g2.drawString(text, x, y);
 g2.setTransform(saved);
 }That bug workaround is causing trouble in some JDKs, try the original code and see if it works for you.

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,

Hi All,
I am using Jdeveloper 11g Release1(11.1.1.4.0)
I have created EO and VO which is based on that EO.
By using Vo i have designed .jspx page ,on that page i have taken adf form which is based on that VO.
My problem is when database table is blank (i.e zero row) then input text on page not displayed.
I want to show blank input text when such condition occurs.

How do I add vertical text in a cell

How can I add vertical text within a cell. In Ecel it is easy as pie but I can't seem to find a quick fix in "numbers"?

Rotation of text in a table cell is not supported in Numbers.
The most often recommended workarouns is to use a floating text box. Rotate the box 90° (or other desired value), make sure that Wrap is set to 'none', then place the text box in front of the cell.
For other suggestions, see some of the posts in the "more like this" list to the right.
Step 2 is to make a request to Apple that this feature be added. Go to the Numbers menu in Numbers, choose Provide Numbers Feedback (or use the link), make your request that this feature be added to future versions of Numbers.

How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

How can I make the text vertical in numbers? I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

I already gave two tools to fit this kind of needs.

Saisir dans une cellule le mot à écrire verticalement puis le sélectionner.
ATTENTION, il ne faut pas sélectionner la cellule mais le mot qui doit apparaitre surligné.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “write_vertically”
Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.
Pour mon usage personnel j'associe un raccourci à ce script grace à FastScripts.

How can I show text sentence on XY graph

Hello,,,, anyone knows??? How can I show text sentence on XY graph?
I just know that the only numeric data type can be the input data but my case I have both the number and message to show on the same graph.
Thanks in advance

You start out with an array of zero size. Since replace array subset does not change the size of an array, you stay with zero annotations. If nothing is there, you cannot replace it.
Possible solutions:
(A) Instead of reading the current annotation list (which is zero!), you could initialize the shift register with a diagram constant (right-click...create constant), expand it to the desired number of elements and make them all e.g. with a blank text.
(B) Alternatively, you can manually create the desired number of annotation by right-clicking on the graph and select "data operations...create annotations". Now you start of with an array of the correct size if you read the annotation list with a property node and you can replace them programmatically with new annotations as desired.
(C) You can also initialize the shift register with an empty array, then use built array to add annotations.

How can we show data in rows when it is in Columns........

I have strucked with a simple but a complex problem.
I have a Report with data in vertical rows..need of the hour is how can we show that data into column structure.
here is the table sample which i have in Database..
Location      chrg_type    Effective_date
xxxxxxx        xxxx          xx-xx
thhis is the structure in effective date we have several months in it in a single column i want show the effective date or effective month in various columns instead of a single column.
my required table is....
                            Effective_date     Effective_date
Location      chrg_type     xx-xx              xx-xx
xxxxxxx        xxxx          xx-xx
any tough heads?????

Hi Sunil,
Your 1st problem is that you are going to need one more field to accomplish you goal. What type of data do want under your new date columns?
Anyway, once you have that you need to move on to how to move the data out into columns based on date.
Try something like this.
0_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',CurrentDate) AND
DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',CurrentDate)
THEN {tbl.DataField}
1_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',DATEADD('m', -1, CurrentDate)) AND
DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',DATEADD('m', -1, CurrentDate))
THEN {tbl.DataField}
2_Date = IF DATEPART('m',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('m',DATEADD('m', -2, CurrentDate)) AND
DATEPART('yyyy',{tbl.Effective_date}) = DATEPART('yyyy',DATEADD('m', -2, CurrentDate))
THEN {tbl.DataField}
... Repeat this process until you have all of the columns you need, following this format.
Hope this works for you,
Jason

Yes I mean 2 video side by side. How do I do that in iMovie 11?
From iMovie Help:
To add a side-by-side clip:
Make sure Advanced Tools are turned on.
Open the project you want to add the side-by-side clip to so that it’s showing in the Project browser.
In the Event browser, select a video clip or a frame range that you want to use as a side-by-side clip, and then drag it over a clip in your project.When you see the green Add symbol, release the mouse button.
In the contextual menu that appears, choose “Side by Side.”In the Project browser, the side-by-side clip appears with a blue border around it above the video clip you added it to, at roughly the spot where you added it (toward the beginning, middle, or end of the clip).
Depending on the length of the side-by-side clip you added, it may extend beyond the clip you added it to (only if there’s another clip after the clip you added the side-by-side clip to). You can drag the split-screen clip so that it begins at a different point in the main clip. To reposition where the split-screen clip appears in the project, drag it to a different clip.
Play back the effect by placing the playhead (the red vertical line) anywhere before the side-by-side clip in the Project browser, and then pressing the Space bar.Press the Space bar again to stop playback.

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear. You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Have you tried Word for Mac?
You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
 public static void main( String[] args ) {
 JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
 f.setSize( 500, 500 );
 ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
 buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
 buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
 buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
 MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
 ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
 ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
 ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
 JPanel panel = new JPanel();
 panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
 panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
 panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
 f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
 f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
 f.setVisible( true );
 public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
 public MyListener() {}
 public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
 System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
 // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

Forms 6.0-- How can I show records in a block in different colours.

In a multi record block, how can I show few records in one colour and few more in a different colour depending on a condition.

Use DISPLAY_ITEM.
This will change the visual attribute of the item in the current(!) record,
set_item_property changes the attributes of the item in all(!) records.
