Beginner question - how do I do vertical text?

Hello, Text boxes assume horizontal text is required.  How do I turn the text box on its side so the text runs vertically?  Thanks
(It must be really obvious, because I cant see the same question being asked, or as a topic in help)  Thanking you in advance.

Also, just something you should know for positioning objects. For almost any object you can select the object then go to either the 4th or fifth inspector tab, the one with a ruler, and at the bottom it has options for how many degrees to turn the object, or you can flip it, etc.

  • 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.

  • Beginner question - using pre for flexibility in text?

    Hi,
    Apologies for the beginner question, but I am struggling to work out whether it is more sensible to use <pre> in all my texts, as it seems more flexible.
    It seems that when I use <p> - paragraph - I can't use multiple space bars to align certain bits of text, but more disruptively I have gaps between text when I press Enter (I guess this defines the paragraph, but isn't always wanted).
    Well, basically, <pre> seems more flexible, but it behaves strangely sometimes. What do other people use?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Ireshe, just a beginner like you.  Have never heard of <pre> tags, use <p> tags.  If you hit SHIFT enter after a sentence this puts in a <br> tag or line break which basically leaves a blank line between text.
    If you add     &nsbp;    or lots of them between words this gives you an extra space between letters.  How all your paragraphs sit on the page is defined by CSS.  E.g.
    p {
         margin:0;
         padding: 5px 0 0 10px;}
    This would place all text within <p> tags on your page, with a 5px gap at the top, no space to the right or bottom and 10px space to the left.  Hope this helps, good luck!

  • 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.
         * <P>
         * 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.

  • Beginner Question: How to put 5 V on an output?

    Hi everybody,
    I am an absolute beginner here, a Biology student that has to do electronics in Labview now...
    I want to do as much of this myself as possible, but need truly beginners hints, hoping to be clever enough to put it together myself with your information.
    I need to control some outputs, and monitor some inputs. I am focusing on the outputs at the moment.
    Questions:
    How do I make a block in my block diagram that can put a variable voltage on an output? I need two controls, one that puts a voltage on an output of 0 to 10 V continuously, the other puts a voltage on an output of 0 to 5 V in increments of 0.1 V
    Any hints will be highly appreciated. I have Labview 6 to work with. Pointers like 'look at p
    age XX of the manual' will do, but descriptions here, or through my mail... anything will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Well, for me and my past gigs this has been a very common situation. When
    I worked for telecom we would have to develop apps for instruments that we
    wouldn't receive for six months. Luckily we had the basic concept of how
    they were supposed to run and this was adequate for development. It
    sounds like you're in a similar situation.

    Lemme see if I understand you from this post and your first one. You
    would like to buid a user interface that includes the following:
    1) A boolean control that gives these two options:
    a) output a continuous voltage in the range of 0-10 volts b) output a
    ramping voltage starting at 0 (or 0.1) volts and ending at
    5 volts using 0.1 volt increments with a dwell time of x mseconds
    2) A boolean to stop the application
    (perhaps another one to pause it)
    3) Several numeric controls:
    a) numeric control for the output voltage b) numeric control for the
    dwell time (optional) c) numeric control for the voltage increments
    (optional) for if the
    user wants to use values other than 0.1 volts
    4) An indicator that shows what the measured output voltage is. This is
    good for verifying your output signal. A chart would be nice.
    This is a top down approach which is helpful for laying out the
    application's user interface. The next thing you want to do is build some
    subVIs to simulate your voltage signals. Once you get some hardware you
    can simply replace these simulation subVIs with the real ones that
    actually communicate the hardware.
    I'm not sure if your measuring the output voltage too. I kinda just
    assumed this but that would require another subVI. I won't tell you how
    to build the subVIs (I can't take all the fun out this) but I hope I've
    pointed you in the right direction.
    Merry x-mas!
    -Kevin
    PS: learn how to play with control references. they're very convenient
    when you need to update the front panel indicators with data from a subVI
    sitting in its own continuous loop. it avoids global variable abuse.

  • Beginner question - how to efficiently check if a photo is part of the selection

    Dear all,
    Sorry for this beginner question, however I don't know how to solve it and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:
    My target is to get all the "heads of stack" (photos with Position 1 in stacks) of the selection ("photos" below).
    for i, photo in ipairs( photos ) do
      local photoName = photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
       if photo:getRawMetadata( 'isInStackInFolder' ) then
       --Photo is in a stack
            local photoHeadOfStack = photo:getRawMetadata('topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto')
            local stackPos = photo:getRawMetadata( 'stackPositionInFolder' ) -- get the position in the stack
            local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
            app:logVerbose("Photo nb ^1, name ^2 is in a stack with the position ^3", i, photoName, stackPos)
            if stackPos == 1 then
            -- photo is master of the stack
                 stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photo
                 app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is top of the stack ^2", photoName, #stackTop)
                 -- check if couple if correct
            elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then
                 app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack already selected", photoName)
            else
                 stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photoHeadOfStack
                 app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack ^2 - ^3 ", photoName, #stackTop, photoHeadName)
            end
      end
    end
    In the if structure in the middle checking the Position in the stack, if the Position is not 1, I would like to check if the photo heading the stack ('photoHeadOfStack') is part of 'photos'. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and 'elseif photos[photoHeadOfStack] then' but it doesn't work ->this elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' is part of 'photos'.
    Is there anyway to have this check done without checking "manually" photos ?(via for example a for Loop)
    I'm sure that Lua proposes this, but I don't know how...
    I thank you for your Support!

        --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
        tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
        "photos". ]]
    stackTopSet = {}
    for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
        local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
        if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
        end
    stackTops = {}
    for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end

  • [Question] How to remove baby blue text chat bubbl...

    My Skype for Windows (windows 7), just updated to the latest version 6.22.0.107. With this update Skype has completely changed the look and feel of the entire interface giving it a light blue overlay on everything.
    I was wondering if there is any way to remove the light blue chat bubbles that now show up surrounding all text messages sent or received?
    I would prefer the old simple black and white standard text message layout of the previous version of skype. I find that the light blue bothers my vision and makes it more difficult for me to read my messages and follow the conversation.
    Thanks for any help with this issue.

    How to remove them:
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi
    The Skype design will as all other designs evolve. Look at for instance MS office, the 2003 version looks nothing like the 2007 one and beyond. Reasons for this; ribbons made people more productive (according to designers).
    The design quirk now, is devices, all for now 3 of them phones, pads, and Computers. Crossplattform design is not an easy task, and will offcourse cause design changes.
    That said, chat bubbles and the like are a new Skype thing, is it good, we don't know yet. When I had my old Nokia phone, I laughted off the iBubbles, now I'm om Android, and used to them.
    Would I prefer the old msg style? Yes, most likely, but I do manage to have fun in the new one (phone).

  • Beginner Question - How do I amke frames size 320x240 ?

    I am trying to make a student project using QT movies which are 320 x 240 pixels.
    I want to string them together with some edits, titles and text but not change their size. Then save them back to a Quicktime movie the same size.
    But when I drag 2 movies each about 15mb into iMovie they are turning into a huge file over 1.1Gb. I think they are being "upsized" to HD. Is that right?
    How do I stop that? It is way to big for my hard drive space and I have only just started. I will also have to make the final file small enough to take on a flash drive to school.
    Am I using the wrong program for this? If so what should I use?
    Thanks for any help.
    Patrick (Peter's my Dad)

    Hi Peter,
    I'm a father too, so I appreciate your "joined forces"... ;-))
    .. but, where to begin?
    he doesn't have a lot of time
    before publishing a book, you have to learn reading & writing...-
    you don't learn the basics of editing and the many feature of apps as iM, nor QTpro on the fly...
    esp. No 5) on your list, How do you add controls, buttons, interactivity etc? lets me stumble..
    * QTpro is a tool with some "basic" editing skills. And a mighty converter.
    * iMovie is an elaborated editing tool for TV...
    * "interactivity" is a feature of socalled slideshow makers as Keynote, Powerpoint...
    you have to decide, which tool to use, depending on your goal you want to accomplish...
    probably, you should forget all that video editing, and add his "micro clips" in some Keynote presentation?
    and that We kept the size down so he can fit the project on his 256mb flash drive now is really hillarious (sorry, probably not approbiate english term, me no english speaker).. that adds the next, maybe the biggest hurdle to go, because video downsizing aka compressing is the next problem. and compressing makes e.g. titles/letters unreadable...
    ...... where to start?
    do they have "Keynote" on the computers at school?
    if NOT, you have to save the whole presentation as a "movie", you just need a playback app; but that will be for sure much, much bigger then a tiny flashstick...
    do you need video+new audio+titles IN video+transitions IN video?
    then you need an edit tool as iMovie...
    convert the micro movies with QTpro into "dv stream", import to iM, follow advices found here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieAtAGlance.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson1.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson2.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson3.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson4.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson5.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson6.pdf
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovieLesson7.pdf
    after editing, in the share/Quicktime/Expert settings dialog you can choose a compressor, which could crunch your video down to some size => loss of pic quality/readability of titles...
    ... and also because we do not have heaps of space free on my hard drive....
    video contains 13Gb per hour. fullstop. no workaround to avoid that.
    Plan B)
    use Keynote
    create charts/slides
    add some videos here&then (not fullsize!), prepare them with QTpro before import to Keynote, e.g. edit them. place "titles" on Keynote slide, NOT in video; adding audio is ... very, very basic in Keynote...- (Keynote is a slideshow maker, no video editor....)
    safe as Keynote pres (small file, needs Keynote on school computer) or as Quicktime movie (huge file, needs only QTplayer app)
    What is a reasonable size for a presentation
    best practise: the res of the computer/monitor/beamer your using for presentation... in most cases MORE then video...
    How did they make those?
    ... not in a hurry…
    sorry for being no help.... :-/

  • Beginner Question - How to hide the parameters of a created process on a remote machine.

    OK so I am useng the following Powershell command invoke-WmiMethod -class Win32_process -name Create -Argumentlist ($some_command_with_parameters) -Authentication 6 -ComputerName $Your_Computer -Credential $cred
    The question comes when I pass the command with parameters in the command is encrypted until it gets to the destination but then it appears to be very easy to view the command parameters by using a PROCESS Get command while that command is being run. 
    Is there a way to hide the parameters on the remote system to prevent someone from viewing those at the time I run my script.  The problem is that I would like to pass a username and password as a parameter but would like to make sure it is fairly secure.

    Yeah I was trying to execute a cmd.exe /c ...  This works great except the for mentioned issue.  Essentially what I was trying is to create a backward mapped drive.  In order to transfer a log that is created from the command I am running,
    back to my machine.  I know the process I am doing could potentially be done different but in the enviroment I am in it is very restricted so I am basically working with what I have here.  Is there any way to at least make sure that no one other
    than the person who created the process can see its arguments?  Interactive prompts or using files won't work as I am doing this remotely and essentially issuing one long command that will do everything I want. A file might work but I don't have a secure
    way to transfer a file as this has to be a process I can do on multiple servers and many of them do not have anything setup for doing that.  The other issue is the credentials would still be unsecure on the server as long as the file was there. 
    I think my best bet would be if possible to restrict others from viewing a process and arguments that I create.  Any ideas?

  • Beginner question - How to use JFrame class?

    How can we use a JFrame class created? Shld you run it like JApplet on browser or appletviewer?

    First, if I understand what you want to do exactly, you need to write two classes. The main one will be your class that extends javax.swing.JFrame. Wherehas the second will be your "container class" and will extends java.applet.Applet. This second class will do nothing more than instantiate your JFrame subclass. This is this last class that will be called in your HTML file.
    I made up some code quickly to give you an idea:
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    public class TestJFrame extends JFrame {
    //Constructor
    public TestJFrame() {
    super("My test JFrame"); //calls the superclass constructor
    this.setSize(200,200);
    this.setVisible(true);
    // Main (optionnal here: just in case you need to
    // instantiate the class within an application)
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    new TestJFrame();
    =======================
    import java.applet.Applet;
    public class TestJFrameApplet extends Applet {
    public void init() {
    new TestJFrame();
    Hope this help

    Thank you a lot...

    Ok, sorry, i should have posted it in another forum i see.

    You can.
    Check the iPhone user guide, which you can download to your computer as a PDF file, and access to the iPhone user guide is included on your iPhone as a Safari bookmark.
    And read what I provided with my previous post.
    Thanks. But I have read the user guide and it says, as I have suggested above, that I need 3rd party software.
    From the manual:
    *Uploading Photos and Videos to Your Computer*
    +You can upload the photos and videos you take with Camera to photo applications on your computer, such as iPhoto on a Mac.+
    +Upload images to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer.+
    +• Mac: Select the photos you want and click the Import or Download button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.+
    +• PC: *Follow the instructions that came with your camera or photo application*.+
    I have also looked in Windows 'Camera Wizard' as you have suggested above and my phone is not listed nor can I add it because the manufacturer "Apple" is not an option when adding a new imaging device.
    It should not be this hard!
