10.1.3 EA - Visual Properties Quirks in BC Diagram

A couple of things I've noticed using the Visual Properties settings for Associations and View Links in the Business Components Diagrams:
1) After manually setting the "Show Association Name" and "Show Role Names" on all of the Associations in a diagram, then closing the diagram and JDeveloper and opening it all back up, several of the associations have their visual property settings reverted back to being unchecked. (I just set the global properties to default to being checking in Preferences. We'll see if that changes the behaviour.)
2) A uni-directional View Link still shows both accessor names on the diagram if the "Show Role Names" is checked, even though only one accessor is available. (The unavailable one shows greyed out in the Accessor Name field of the View Link Editor -- View Link Properties page.)
No biggies, just FYI.
Johnny Lee

The second one of these is intended, as you have asked for the role names to be shown, and the dialog option controls if these names get generated into the source code or not. Clearly you were expecting something else. Were you expecting the diagram only to show the accessors generated into the source code? If so we will file an ER for this feature.

  • Visual Properties enhancement request

    Hi,
    I'm using JDeveloper 9.0.3 preview to do some modelling. To keep my diagrams neat and clean, I always deselect 'show inner classes' from the visual properties context menu for java classes, as well as some other visual changes.
    The problem is, I have to do this for any new class I put on the diagram. If it was one property, it would not be such a problem, but if it's 4 properties that I have to change, it's quite a hassle. Therefor, 2 feature requests:
    1) It would be nice if there was a checkbox in the visual properties screen like 'Remember these values for new items', so all my new entities will use the same visual properties as the ones allready ni the diagram.
    2) In some other modelling tools, I use copy+paste to create a class with the same properties as the original one, and then change it's name. This won't work in jdeveloper, because copy+paste does only work between diagrams, after which it doesn't really make a copy, but puts the same object on the other diagram. It would be nice, if there was a 'Paste as new' option next to the 'Paste' option, to create a new class/entity based on the one being copied (and then naming it for example 'MyClassCopy' or 'MyClass2' if the original was named 'MyClass'. (or present a dialog to give it a new name).
    Greetings,
    Ivo

    Ivo,
    In response to point 1, this feature is already available by setting the properties in the Preferences dialog available from Tools | Preferences.
    1) Invoke Tools | Preferences
    2) Navigate and expand the 'UML Diagrams' node
    3) Expand the 'Class Diagram' node
    From here you can change any Visual Properties including fonts and colours for any new elements that you then create.
    Hope that helps,
    Lisa

  • Visual Properties of the form act weird

    I see the text on the buttons, text box colour are missing when i open a form in 10G-As and it works fine on 9iAS-Release2.
    Any ideas??

    Hi,
    to transmit information between iview you need to use nested iview :

  • Unable to unlock VI with VI properties or view block diagram.

    I have a VI that I need to modify, but I am unable to open the block diagram or unlock the VI in the VI properties dialog box (options are grayed out).  I generally have my VIs locked with no password, but I have always been able to unlock them at a later time with the properties diolog box and change anything.
    Is there a way I could have locked myself out?

    If you saved the VI without a block diagram, I believe this could happen.  If that is indeed the case, you'll need to replace the VI with your latest backup, since there's no way to retrieve the diagram once you've saved a VI without a block diagram.
    Also, make sure you're not trying to look at the diagram of a Control or Global VI...

  • 10.1.3 EA - AppModule Quirks in BC Diagram

    Create an AppModule in a BC Diagram, drag a View Object with an attached View Link into the Module, then drag the View Link into the View Object Instance in the Module. What's supposed to happen is that the View Link brings with it the "other end", i.e. the other View Object that is related to this View Link. What happens is that two images of the trailing View Object Instance appear in the AppModule, one visibly linked to the first VOI (the one the VL was dragged into) and the other standing alone within the AppModule. They are two images of the same instance. If you change the name of one of them, the other's name is also changed. If you delete one of them, they both disappear from the AppModule.
    Close the diagram and re-open it and you have what you expected in the first place -- two separate VOIs with a VL attaching them, no "mirrors".
    Kinda cute, but weird.
    Johnny Lee

    Cool. You guys are SO on it! I can't wait for the production release. Some of these kinds of quirky things are just interesting, or mild nuisances, but there are other bugs that cause loss of work. We probably shouldn't be developing production applications with this release, but we are committed to working within an Oracle environment and the JSF/ADF combo is just too promising.
    Anyway, thanks, Sioban, for your efforts monitoring and responding on this forum.

  • A database procedure call takes a long time but user is okay with that

  • 320x240 QT export produces black bars on right and left

    Ok, this one is strange. So far, it only appears to affect 320x240 targets from sources that don't have square pixels. Starting with a 720x480 DV movie (even if I change the properties to display 640x480), I export directly to 320x240 and I get a movie with black bars down the right and left. I did not tell QT to letterbox or scale, although telling it to scale does no help.
    The problem seems to be in the meta data. If I go to the movie's visual properties and change the move dimensions to 324x240 (with preserve aspect ratio unchecked), then the black bars disappear. When I change it back to 320x240, they are still gone and the movie plays fine. I save it and reopen it, and the black bars are back! The same thing happens exporting from Final Cut Pro using Quicktime conversion. This is definitely a bug.
    The work around is to export to another 4:3 format with square pixels first and export that to 320x240.
    On a related note, the same thing happens when I record a movie in Quicktime at 320x240. I get a recording with black bars down the sides.
    This has never happened to me before. I'm a professional QT software developer and a content producer. I've been using Quicktime Pro for a decade, at least. I've been over all of the export settings, and I've deleted all of my Quicktime preference files.
    Is there a way to report a bug to Apple?

    Regarding: "there's a pretty good chance that your playback target isn't Quicktime Player"...
    My assumption is that if your material is 320x240, it's probably that size because you're planning to either display it on a small-screen device, send it to a TV set, embed it in a presentation, or deliver it via the Web. In any of those cases, your final delivery target isn't QuickTime Player, but rather some other mode, such as the QuickTime web plug-in, iPod, AppleTV, or even some other option. In which case the strangeness with the player doesn't seem so strange.
    As a workaround, you could layer your 320x240 movie with at 350x240 grey rectangle on the layer behind. That would fix it in QuickTime Player, but it would cause grey bars on either side if you embed into a web page or something like that.

  • How do I change the message background colour in mail,(2013)?

    I'd like to be able to do this.
    I send a lot of photos,(for my biz as an art photographer), and they would present FAR better on aa grey or black background than on the harsh and glaring white background.
    I haven't figured out how to create a coloured background template for the Stationary plug, or that might be an option.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciate!

    You can't do that, but you can change the visual properties of the display by selecting Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Calibrate...

  • 2D Line Chart question

    I have Apex 3.1 . I have created a 2D Line chart with for different series (so there are 4 lines on one chart). I also have a Legend on the left side next to the chart to label whatr each line is for. In my query for those lines I have the Name for the Legend as all CAPS but it shows up as first letter capital and the rest lower case. Is there a way to force it to all upper case?
    The second question I have is that underneath the legend I would like to have some type of text box were I can write a couple lines to help explain what is going on in the graph. Is there a way to do that?

    You basically have only a couple of options here:
    First, turn off the labels and possibly turn them into Hints. They wouldn't show on the chart, but when the user held over the data point, a tool tip would appear showing them the valuable.
    Second, adjust elements of the chart. What you are really looking at here is that your data set is causing this specific issue and not the charting engine or anything like that. You could try to manually change the axis max and min to get more spacing, or you could adjust the height of the chart to get more spacing, but this may not be a viable option. You could have one set of labels above the plotted line and another set of labels below the plotted line that way the values do not overlap with anything. However, from a conceptual standpoint, it will be difficult to determine in code which line should have values above and which should have values below. When your data set changes, you may end up with labels in the wrong place if you hard code where they are at.
    The current XML reference can be found at: http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/xmlReference/index.html however, that is for anychart 5. I'm looking for the link to the earlier versions...
    You can use this to create custom xml where you can adjust the position of the labels.
    Finally, you do not want expand the height of the chart between two points on the Y axis. That would change the structure of the chart and the visual properties of the chart and the shape of the data would be askew. You cannot do this for good reason. You can though use a logrithmic scale. In most cases though, this is not a practical solution. Data sets need to have very specific characteristics in order to be able to merit a logrithmic scale. Most queries require a simple linear scale.

  • 2D Line Graph Question

    I have a 2D line graph that I built. At some points in the graph where the lines intersect the number values displayed on the graph get bunched up and it is hard to read. Is there a way to fix that? This is APEX 3.2 on Oracle 10.2.0.4 database. Thanks

  • Copy HTML Code into DW?

    In CS6 I create a simple rectangle and increase the roundness of the rectangle. I then select the shape and choose edit > copy HTML code and I open Dreamweaver CS6 and paste the code into the code window. I thought it was supposed to write code to replicate the shape I created in FW, though instead it is just referencing a graphic of the shape I made in FW that was exported. What did I do wrong?
    Thanks.

    Use the CSS Properties panel, not Edit > Copy HTML Code.
    Create the rectangle
    Make sure it's selected
    Open the CSS propreties panel
    Click the Copy All button
    Go to Dreamweaver
    Create a Div and apply a class to the div
    Create a CSS class and within the rule, press Ctrl or Command + V to paste the CSS properties from Fireworks.
    Refresh the page (and switch to Live View) and you should see the rectangle, with all the supported visual properties, displayed using CSS.

  • Layout and DPI

    Hello,
    I know how to change text padding for different dpi with @media tag in css file.
    I konw how to choose image with MultiDPIBitmapSource
    Layout properties like gap, padding... are not styles, not bitmapSource
    How can I simply choose layout visual properties like gap and padding based on DPI ?

    Those values should be applied in a skin. Use the dpi selector in CSS to choose an appropriate skin for the DPI, or create a skin that implements various custom styles to determine the layout values.

  • Need Info On {QText} Tag

    Hello,
    I am trying to embed text of different sizes and shapes in my slideshows. I would like to center text (even though the exported text says that it is center justified, it isn't). I would also like to have a transparent background so my images show through.
    Where is there info on {QText} and what can I do with it?
    Thanks,
    Gary Young

    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/REF/refDataExchange.6.htm
    You can edit the text track in any text editor.
    The track can be made transparent by changing the "Visual Properties" (version 7) or "Graphics Mode" (version 6).
