Are dashed grid lines possible without bitmap background?

Hi,
I am trying to get dashed grid lines onto my graph. Having searched around, I suspect that I can only achieve this by setting the background as a bitmap that has the dashed lines on. Is this correct?
I think that this was addressed in the .NET version, which now has this functionality, but not in the (legacy) VC++ version. I just wanted to confirm that this was the case.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Richard,
After installing the legacy support version to one of our machines I can confirm that the feature you're looking for does not seem not available for VC++. Unfortunately as this is legacy support it is unlikely the feature will be added in the future.
I hope this answers your question
Kind regards,

Outer table frame without grid lines

Howdy,
I have a form that is printing a variable size table that can span more than one page. I am attempting to create an outer frame around the table without grid lines in the middle.
There is a framed pattern, the one in the upper left hand corner of the patterns, that appears to fit my scenario. However, when I use this pattern, the outer frame appears, but there are also grid lines.
Is it possible to create an outerfram around a table without grid lines between the cells?

Hello Ernest,
Goto Table Painter Settings, there you have tabs like Grid, Main Grid and so on...
By default, it would have selected the Display check box in Grid tab. Remove that check and goto Main Grid tab, and check the Display check box.
I guess your problem is solved.

Showing Grid without column headers and Grid lines

Hi all
does anyone knows how can set a grid object to display without grid lines and without column headers?
appreciate the help
Yoav

Hi Yechiel,
When you work with the grid you just have to drag it into your srf and bind it with some table by specifying the table name in its properties.
When the form launches the columns of the grid will be created automatically as per the number of columns in the table.The caption of the column in the grid will be the same as that of the name of the column in the table.The only condition for this is that the table should contain some records, if the table is empty no grid lines and the column header will be displayed .
I hope this meet your requirements.
Below I am sending you the code segments with the help of which you can control the grid progamatically...
//Declaring the grid object
Grid oGrid;
//Initializing the grid object
oGrid=(SAPbouiCOM.Grid)oForm.Items.Item("MBS_Grid").Specific;
//Adding a new data table to the form
oSboApplication.Forms.ActiveForm.DataSources.DataTables.Add("MBS_DataTable");
//Assigning the data table to the grid
oGrid.DataTable = oSboApplication.Forms.ActiveForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item( "MBS_DataTable" );
// This statement will clear the grid
oGrid.DataTable.Rows.Clear();
// In this way you can set the column properties
oGrid.Columns.Item(0).Editable=false;
oGrid.Columns.Item(1).Editable=false;
oGrid.Columns.Item(2).Editable=false;
oGrid.Columns.Item(3).Editable=false;
oGrid.Columns.Item(4).Editable=false;
oGrid.Columns.Item(5).Editable=false;
// In this way you can set the column width
oGrid.Columns.Item( 0 ).Width = 50;
oGrid.Columns.Item( 1 ).Width = 60;
oGrid.Columns.Item( 2 ).Width = 130;
//This is the way you can set a user defined caption on the column header.
query="select U_CTX_MOVCODE as 'Movie Code',U_CTX_MOVNAME as 'Movie Name',U_CTX_SHELF as 'Shelf Number',U_CTX_SPACE as 'Space Number',U_CTX_CARDCODE as 'Customer Code',U_CTX_RENTED as 'Rent Status' from [@CTX_VSTORE] order by Code";

Disable grid lines ?

G'day all,
I have a spreadsheet that has no grid lines, just a coloured background with numbers in each cell.
When I click on any cell all the grid lines appear and it's really distracting to see what's going on in the spreadsheet.
How can I disable the grid lines when I'm adjusting cell data ?
Cheers.
Tony

Tony,
Changing the cell borders to the same color as the background will make them appear to go away.
Click on the table name in the sheets pane to select the entire table. Then in the Table Inspector, Cell Borders section, click the icon that looks like a plus-sign. Then click the rectangle just below the plus-sign icon and select a color that's the same as your background, probably white if you're using a default table format. That "Plus sign" is really indicating that you want to operate on all the interior borders, as opposed to the outside border, or just the horizontal borders, or just the vertical borders, or just the left edge of the selection, etc. If you study all the choices, you'll see the pattern. The rectangle below the interior border icon is the color selection activation button, as you may have guessed.
So, after changing all the interior borders to the same color as the background, you should have what you want.

Can grid lines on a XY Graph be made dashes from solid

I'm using the SPC toolset. When the control limits are plotted (in red) if the control limit is placed over a grid line, the color of the control limit changes becoming much less visible. If I can make the grid lines dashed, at least a portion of the control limits will remain red for visibility. I can find no way to change the grid lines other than color.

You could try grabbing a screen print of the graph and edit it in photoshop or similar to look the way you want. Then customise the control, paint it transparent and use your image as its background. I have done something similar to make a psychrometric chart (attached)

How to print a report without row numbers or grid lines?

Is there a way to print a Discoverer report without row numbers or grid lines?
Thank you.
Blake

Hi Blake
You're not doing anything wrong.
The settings made when you use Tools | Options | Sheet are global settings that are only applied to new workbooks and worksheets going forwards. These have no impact on existing worksheets or even the one you currently have open. This is because Discoverer does not know whether your original worksheets were setup in a certain way deliberately as opposed to inheriting the global settings as they were at that time. What this also means, reading between the lines, is that these settings must then be stored within the worksheet itself, and this is exactly what happens.
Thus, to edit an existing worksheet's settings you need to open the worksheet, right-click in the sheet and from the popup select either Format Table or Format Crosstab depending upon the type of worksheet you are working with. After making any necessary changes you will need to save or re-save the workbook in order for those settings to be remembered for the next time.
Best wishes
Michael

When I have a border around a group of cellsand remove it, it also removes the grid lines. When I go to print the sheet, there are blank spaces where the border had been. I'm sing a MacBook.

When I have a border around a group of cell, how do I remove it. If I outline the cells again and then show in the Inspector NO BORDER, it removes not only the borderbut when I go to print it also the grid lines.

What application are you using? Numbers? Excel? Something else?

Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending." However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

Hi,
My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country). Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound. However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot. Is that true? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
Sincerely,
- Matt

just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!

How Can I Print without the shadowed grid lines showing up?

Does anyone know how to print out a page where your bordered cells show up and the background shadowed grid or cells don't print?

You can take control of your grids and outlines by using the Tables Inspector > Cell Borders.
What you described sounds like grid lines set to "Thin" and the color set to a shade of gray. You may also choose None or a number of other patterns, colors and thicknesses. Do some experimenting. The range of cells you have selected will be affected by your choices.

The User Manual has this:
Formatting Table Cell Borders
You can change the line thickness and color of table cell borders. Or you can hide the border of any cell.
To format table cell borders:
1 Select the cell border segments you want to format.
2 Use the controls in the format bar or in the Table inspector.
Click to choose a stroke color.
Click to choose a stroke style.
Click to choose a line thickness.
Stroke pop-up menu: Lets you choose a stroke style. Choose None to hide borders.
Line thickness: Controls the thickness of the stroke.
Color well: Lets you choose a stroke color.
When you click the color well in the format bar, a color matrix appears. Select a color by clicking it in the matrix, or click Show Colors to open the Colors window for additional color options.
When you click the color well in the Table inspector, the Colors window opens.

Can you create an area chart and line chart combo? The line bar combo chart doesn't capture what I want.

hi,
it is better for 2 different questions,make 2 differents threads...
You used the 2ond solution(google???),put in the dashboard...html enabled...and check your pdf again.
Moreover,printing pdf with answer is discouraged...always prefer Xml Publisher.
Last,there are 2 fst files which configure the *.pdf files , check them,

GRID LINES IN LOV

Is it possible to show grid lines( like forms block ) in lov's instead of plain background.

I know that I can control the origin of the rulers, but when I change that, the grid lines do not change, which is quite annoying.
Depends on which version of Illustrator you are using.
In recent versions turn on global rulers, then change the rulers origin in order to position the grid.

White text on a bitmap background 30C - 30M - 30Y - 100K - how to trap it?

I know is possible to trap a white text over a rich black if both of them are vector objects, I don't know if it is possible to get the same result if the rich black background is a bitmap coming from photoshop and is made by 100% black and any percentage of the other three colors i.e. 30%.
I tried different times without success, is there a way to get it??
Thank you for any suggestion

can depend on the RIP. i think screen's Trueflow can, but i've had trouble doing this using AGFA apogee (if an agfa techie reading this knows how to do it, let me know!!!). I had a newsletter where white type was above a background similar to what you're talking about, but also had a picture of a person in the top left hand corner. luckily, the type was not near the person, so i was able to distinguish between the type and background, and put a vector rich black in behind the text but above the bitmap to trap the text.
otherwise there is a manual trapping solution where a black stroke the weight of the desired trap is applied to the text above the rich black bitmapped background. make sure the outline is to the outside of the type otherwise the type will become thinner. also need to make sure that the "overprint 100% black" in the handling of black preferences is turned OFF and then make sure black overprints elsewhere where it needs to.
this workaround is NOT recommended if the type is partially over the rich black bitmap and half over something else (because the keylines will be visible). its also a nusiance because it means manually setting all the black text to overprint like the old quark days... yuck.

How do I remove unwanted dark grid lines from my Basic_Graphic_Textures?

Basically, I have been having dark grid lines show up in files I create in Illutrator CS6 as of late. This particular instance is surrounding a background layout im trying to create. I select a 650x500 rectangle and apply a patterns fill. To be specific, Patterns--->Basic Graphics--->Basic_Graphics_Textures-----Diamonds. No matter what I do, there is a dark grid benath the fill. It shows up in any fill I have been doing lately.
The above image is a layout with 3 layers. 1 white layer(bottom), 1 red/pink layer(middle), and the top layer being the rectangle/diamond fill.
This only happens with pattern fills and with fluid repeating text fills. Normally, the dark lines are full squares, but in the above image they are only running vertically. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if this is just a hardware issue with my graphics card, or if I'm missing something else.

The patterns are for filling space with a repeating pattern but have some problems as you are discovering. Try dragging the swatch for the Diamonds texture from the Swatch panel to a file you have open. You can see how the pattern is created. Notice the overhang on both sides. Does this look like your problem?
By changing the stroke of the line in the Diamonds pattern to 0.25 and replacing the swatch I have to go out to 50% size to see the repeat like this
