Bitmap documentation

Hi,
I can use bitmap command in SAPSCRIPT like
BITMAP <xyz> OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BMON DPI nnn
but I never found any documentation explaining the syntax and parameters. Are there other objets defined except GRAPHICS, other IDs except BMAP and other TYPEs except BMON?
As far as I know the DPI can be selectzed as supported by the printer used but I don't know exactly.
More information especially about where SAP documents it are highly welcome!
Regards,
Clemens

Hi Rich,
thanks a lot, that's a little more than I knew already. Obviously SAP never documented the BITMAP command - shame on them!.
Sorry, can't give you points: I can only see your reply as long as I am logged off. As soon as I logon, the reply is missing (bug or feature?).

Partitioned IOT of Object Type - mapping table not allowed for bitmap index

Hi,
looks like a feature available for standard Partitioned IOTs is not supported for object based tables, namely the MAPPING TABLE construct to support secondary local bitmap indexes.
Can you confirm behaviour is as expected/documented?
If so, is a fix/enhancement to support mapping table for object-based Partitioned IOTs in the pipeline?
Results for partition-wise load using pipelined table function are very good, look-ups across tens of millions of rows are excellent.

Thanks Dan,
the intention is to range partition based on the initial character, so A* -> Text_Part_A, B* -> Text_Part_B, and so on.
Here's an example, using an empty IOTObj_Table as created previously.
1) Set up & confirm some test data (two 'D's, one 'N', and two 'Z's)
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('DEF456',500));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('DDD111',510));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('N3000',515));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('ZZ1212',520));
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('Z111X',530));
SQL> COMMIT;
SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table;

DEF456     500
N3000     515
Z111X     530
ZZ1212     520
2) Just to prove our IOT is enforcing the Primary Key based on the TextData attribute, try to insert a duplicate
SQL> INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('Z111X',530));
Error starting at line 141 in command:
INSERT INTO IOTObj_Table VALUES (IOT_Type('Z111X',530))
Error report:

For Trusted Oracle configured in DBMS MAC mode, you may see
this message if a duplicate entry exists at a different level.
*Action:   Either remove the unique restriction or do not insert the key.
3) Now confirm that our data has been slotted into the range-based partition we expect using the PARTITION clause of SELECT...
- The two 'D's...
SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_D);
TEXTDATA NUMBERDATA
DDD111     510
DEF456     500
- The single 'N'...
SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_N);

SQL> SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_Z);
TEXTDATA NUMBERDATA

4) And to wrap up confirm an empty partition
SELECT * FROM IOTObj_Table PARTITION (Text_Part_W);

Possible to render a UIView into a bitmap without attaching it to a window?

Hi all,
I am trying to capture the visual output of a UIView into a bitmap which I can save to a file. However, it seems that all the information I have about rendering a UIView requires it to be attached to an UIWindow to give it a backing surface.
What I am trying to work out is a method (code!) to render the output of an arbitrary UIView into a bitmap. Once I have that bitmap I will use it in my app (e.g. save it).
The approaches I have tried include:
1) creating a CGBitmapContext, using UIGraphicsPushContext() and then calling the view's draw method:
// 'view' is the UIView instance.
CGRect bounds = [view bounds];
CGColorSpaceRef cgctxcs = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
unsigned char *bufDataPtr = malloc(bounds.size.width * bounds.size.height * 4); // 4 Bpp for RGBA
CGContextRef cgctx = CGBitmapContextCreate(bufDataPtr,
bounds.size.width,
bounds.size.height,
8,
bounds.size.width * 4,
cgctxcs,
kCGBitmapByteOrderDefault | kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast);
UIGraphicsPushContext(cgctx);
[view drawRect:bounds];
UIGraphicsPopContext();
but this does not appear to draw anything into the bitmap context.
2) Get the view's layer, and call -renderInContext on it.
[[view layer] renderInContext:cgctx]; // cgctx set up as above.
Again, this produces nothing.
At this stage I'm stuck. Anyone have any pointers?

That sample gives a nice example of method 2 I already tried.
There seems to be some reason why the layer backing the UIView I'm trying to capture can't be drawn. I'm wondering if this is because of something related to this note in the documentation for [CALayer renderInContext]:
"Important: The Mac OS X v10.5 implementation of this method does not support the entire Core Animation composition model. QCCompositionLayer, CAOpenGLLayer, and QTMovieLayer layers are not rendered. Additionally, layers that use 3D transforms are not rendered, nor are layers that specify backgroundFilters, filters, compositingFilter, or a mask values. Future versions of Mac OS X may add support for rendering these layers and properties."

Possible to view graphics in ABAP documentation without printing?

I have uploaded a bitmap to the document server and included it in the documentation of my component (an interface, in this case), for which the ABAP workbench generates the statement
BITMAP 'BO_VSAB' OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BCOL DPI 300
The picture is displayed in the print preview, and also prints alright. I'd prefer to see it without printing, though, while simply viewing the documentation online. Is there a trick to achieve that, for example by using a different form than the standard S_DOCU_SHOW, or whatever?
-- Sebastian

Quite honestly, so far I've never seen any ABAP documentation with images. I kind of doubt it is feasible because the thingy that displays documentation most likely doesn't have any capability of displaying graphics. I'm guessing there is simply no container or screen element for that.
I'm affraid you'll have to create your own screen to achieve this.

Rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()

I am trying to find whether each page in PDF document is color or monochrome.
For doing this I am rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()
Once after rendering the PDF page, I am using GetPixel() to read each pixel value to decide about color or Monochrome.
Problem:
When I read the pixel to decide about the page color or monochorme, in some XP machines it is showing the PDF page as color and in some PC it is showing it as Monochrome. Color quality in both the system is kept as 32 Bit.
After this I tried copying the PDF page directly into clipboard and then take the clipboard image to decide about color and monochorme, but even this also behaves in the similar way.
Question:
Why rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard() is behaving differently in each machines.
If required I will send my sample project.
With regards,
Rajeshrv.

In SDK documentation, there is no methods are defined for getting the color of the page. In color spaces and color values, we can set the color for drawing operations. A method AVPageViewSetColor is used for setting the color.
But there is no methods defined for getting the color in the page. Please let me know , is there any alternative way.
Thanks in advance.

Poster Image in Strobe Player: Must it be a Bitmap Image?

Hello,
Quick question: must the poster image be a bitmap image in the Strobe and Flash players in OSMF? I would like to use .jpg images because the quality is much better, etc. When I try to create an image in Photoshop and convert it to a bitmap, the quality is very degraded and must be in black and white.
Thanks so much.
Jim

Thanks very much for the reply. I had uploaded a .gif, which didn't work, then went into the documentation and saw it written that poster images were bitmap images and assumed that meant that I need to use a bitmap in order for it to work.

Does XE support Bitmap Indexes?

Hi,
I am trying to create a bitmap index in XE and getting the following error:
ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Bit-mapped indexes
I am guessing this is only available in the enterprise editions of the database or is there some way i can enable this option?
thanks,
Brenden

I am guessing this is only available in the enterprise editions of the databaseBitmap indexes are enterprise only. You can find a full list of included and excluded functionality in the XE documentation.
Cheers, APC

Silly question, how to display a bitmap in a JDialog?

I know there should be somehow easy to do this, but I can't find the documentation that would let me add a graphic object in a dialog box and assign a bitmap file (either GIF or JPG).
Any help will be apreciated, or a link to a web page that shows this.
Thanks

i think the easiest way to achieve this is use a JLabel with an icon displaying the bitmap. You should write an utility method to create the Icon:
public static ImageIcon createIcon(String iconName) {
          URL iconURL = getResource(iconName);
          if(iconURL == null) return null;
          ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(iconURL);
          if(icon == null || icon.getIconWidth() == -1) {
               System.err.println("Failed to load '" + iconName);
          return icon;
public static URL getResource(String resourceName) {
          return Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resourceName);
Then you say:
JLabel label = new JLabel(createIcon("images/myIcon.gif"));
and all you have to do is place the label in the layout of your dialog.

Bitmap Indexes in 10G

Hi all,
Seems like a pretty basic question but have not been able to find a conclusive answer looking around. I know that bitmap indexes only worked on oracle 9i Enterprise edition - is the same through with 10G or can they be used on standard/standard one also?
Many thanks

Seems like a pretty basic question but have not been
able to find a conclusive answer looking around. IGet the answer from Oracle:
- Go to http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
- Select Licensing Information (bottom, first column)
- Select Chapter 1 - Oracle Dtaabase Editions
- Search for Bitmap

Flash and audio and text quality & Documentation/Manuals

Like a donut i posted in the wrong bit so here are the links
to my previous questions rather than duplicating them:
Documentation

Flash
and audio and text quality
Apologies and thanks

There is no polite way to say this: You need training to
learn how to use Captivate to create learning objects for a LMS. It
doesn't need to be a "long" training period, but you are trying to
shortcut ALL training and begin at the end. I advise you learn to
use Captivate as a generator of learning objects (LO) for the LMS.
You seem to be thinking you can to use it as a "shell" for your
Flash output and it just isn't a Flash plug-in ... it is a
self-standing and sometimes complicated - but usually easy to learn
- learning tool in its own right (by "easy to learn" I don't mean
overnight, in any case).
Reasons why include the fact that Flash SWFs are vector based
while Captivate uses bitmapped graphics. Audio is handled entirely
differently on the two. Captivate's communication with the LMS is
not - I think - going to pass on scoring from the movie-in-a-movie
approach you are trying to use. And on and on.
Sorry I don't have more encouraging news for you. Good luck,
michelle.

StageWebView - How to prevent stretching of the bitmap obtained through drawViewPortToBitmapData?

I am trying to show the page displayed using StageWebView as a bitmap. As per the documentation we need to use DrawViewPortToBitMapData. While displaying the bitmap in a UIComponent, the image is getting stretched. How can I prevent that?
     bitmapData = new BitmapData(webView.viewPort.width, webView.viewPort.height, false,
     0x000000 );
     webView.drawViewPortToBitmapData(bitmapData);
     webViewBmp = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
     webView.stage = null;
   uiComponent = new UIComponent;
   uiComponent.width=webView.viewPort.width;
   uiComponent.height=webView.viewPort.height;
   uiComponent.addChild(webViewBmp);

If you do not want to programm anything you can just use the plugin part of the itexttoolbox. Tools->Various->IdentifyColorPages.
For java webstart installation go to
http://itext.ugent.be/library/itext.jnlp
It uses the first approach you described.
Best regards

Query regarding Bitmap Text

Hi,
Adobe has introduced the bitmap text option from flash 8.0
where we can specify the textfield with option ot Bitmap
text(no-alias). I would like to know the way the swf tag
DefineFont3 is written for bitmap text. After a bit of research i
have come to know that we are writing the entire shape of character
but I am not able to understand the way the Glyphtable is
generated.
Although the Flash 8.0 documentation says that it multiplies
the cordinates by 20 but I am still not able to understand.
Can anyone help me about how to write the bitmap text shapes
in the swf??? Thanks in advance.

IPhone: Any officially supported way to efficiently render bitmaps?

I'm trying to render animated bitmapped graphics. Some of them are RGB565, some are ARGB8888, and they need to be displayed at 30 fps. Now, so far the only documented way I found to do it is to create a new CGImage every frame, but this involves two memory copy operations on the whole bitmap, plus potentially unnecessary color format conversion. Now, I'm aware of private system frameworks like CoreSurface, but I would rather avoid unsupported APIs. Anybody has a better way to do something like this in a supported way?

1) No glClear needed if you're covering the whole screen. (I don't cover the whole screen, so I do need it, also I need it to clear the depth buffer).
2) What I mean is if you modify GL state, don't bother querying it beforehand, saving it (in a local variable or wherever) and restoring it once you've drawn. GL state queries are expensive on PowerVR's implementation. Sounds like you're doing the right thing.
3) glTexParami(GLUNPACKALIGNMENT) sets the memory alignment of texture rows. In general, you want it to be 4 (bytes) so that texture uploads can be done using whole-register fetches and puts. 4 is the default, so unless you've changed it, no need to worry. See man glTexParami.
5) Yep.
One other thing.. if you're drawing in landscape mode, the iPhone OS Programming guide tells you to not transform the CAEAGLLayer, but to just draw your content rotated. This is also important. I'm drawing landscape, i.e. use glViewport(0.0, 360, 0.0, 480) and this sequence when setting up the camera:
glMatrixMode(GL_PERSPECTIVE);
glLoadIdentity;
glRotatef(-90.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glOrthof(0.0f, (float)w, 0.0f, float(h), -1.0f, 1.0f));
Cheers,
Phil.
where w=480, h=360.

Bitmap font on J2ME/MIDP devices

Hi!
I want to develop an application that can display my own langue on a mobile phone. I have known that there is a posibility to use a bitmap font(new_font.png) but I dont know how we can do with that.
Does anyone know where can I find some documentation related to that? Or if you have some sample code that can solve my problem, that would be great.
There is not yet unicode for my langue so it would be hard for me to do it this project.
Best regards,

I found an API on the web but don't remember which one - it is not free, though - but it uses the low-level API of MIDP to create those buttons and boxes.
