Box and Size stmt in sapscript

Hi all
a very basic question
can anybody plz tell me whatz the difference between box and size stmt in sapscript
Thanks in advance

hi,

BOX, POSITION, SIZE: Boxes, lines, shading
The BOX, POSITION and SIZE commands are for drawing boxes, lines and shadows. These commands can be used to specify that within any particular layout set, window or passage of window text can be output in a frame or with shadowing.
The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet PCL-5 driver HPLJ4, the
Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when creating output. Line printers and non-supported page-oriented printers ignore these commands. The resulting output may be viewed in the SAPscript print previewer.
Syntax:
1. /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
2. /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
3. /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
BOX
Syntax:
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
Parameters: For each parameter (XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME), both a measurement and a unit of measure must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be entered as a percentage between 0 and 100.
XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
WIDTH: Width of the box.
Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
HEIGHT: Height of the box.
Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
FRAME: Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as %.
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP/4 numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
Units of measure: The following units of measure may be used:
TW (twip)
PT (point)
IN (inch)
MM (millimeter)
CM (centimeter)
LN (line)
CH (character).
The following conversion factors apply:
1 TW = 1/20 PT
1 PT = 1/72 IN
1 IN = 2.54 CM
1 CM = 10 MM
1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the layout set header
1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set header
Examples:
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
POSITION
Syntax:
/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words as a value which specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
XORIGIN, YORIGIN: Origin of the coordinate system.
WINDOW: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current window (default setting).
PAGE: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same as those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
Examples:
/: POSITION WINDOW
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
SIZE
Syntax:
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
WIDTH, HEIGHT: Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
WINDOW: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
Examples:
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

IE 8 Size of Windows, Boxes and Menus

Satellite A665-S6086, Win 7 Home Prem 64, IE 8.
1. I want every window to open full-size, not reduced size, without double-clicking the window title, clicking the maximize icon or dragging the window borders after opening. What settings should I change to do this?
2. I recently compared information on two sites by dragging the entire window of one site half-way down the screen, i.e., I was looking at the top half of both sites simultaneously. I dragged the window back up before I closed it. Now, after the first one during a browsing session, subsequent windows open half-size with the bottom located half way up the screen. How can I get all windows to open full size?
3. Even when windows are full size, whether in IE or not, dialog boxes and menu selections often run off the bottom of the screen when using the laptop display or an external monitor. It is much worse when I use my 32-inch HDTV. All display, monitor and TV setting are either selected automatically by Windows or set at the optimum recommended settings. I tried adjusting the TV aspect ratio to maximize the view of dialog boxes and menus, then returned the settings to view content. To get around these problems I go to Control Panel, Display, and set the magnification lower when working with the offending menus and boxes, then return to my preferred settings, but shouldn't they fit (or be able to be scrolled) at 125% or 150%? Monitor connected by VGA, HDTV by HDMI.
Can the answers to any of these questions be found in any online documentation from MS or Toshiba? Any help would be appreciated.

I can provide a partial answer to my questions.
1 and 2, regarding the size of windows: To get all windows to open full size, open a window and, if it is not full size already, use the pointer to drag the borders to the size you want for all subsequent windows. DO NOT USE THE MAXIMIZE ICON (the square near the upper right-hand corner). Right-click a link on the page and select Open in a New Window, and again drag the borders of this new window to the size you want. When you have opened two windows that you resized, go back to the first one and close it by pressing the CTRL key then clicking the Close icon (the X in the upper right-hand corner). Repeat this for the subsequent windows in order. Now all windows should open to the size you want. This is the procedure as described in the Microsoft Answers web site.

Box in Long text of sapscript

Hi All,
I have created a script.....in that i have to print only long text in the main window.
Now my problem is...the LONG text is breaking and going to next page...
means a part on 1 page and remaining on subsequent pages..
And the problem is the box which i have put arround the main window is coming only in first page and last page . In between pages the box arround the main window is not coming .
How to get the box around those pages also.
help me out...
Thanks,
Guru

Hi
The property of MAIN window is like that, If the Data is more than a Page it automatically goes to next pages.
So better decide where I mean in which you wants to print ? In MAin window , then it automatcially goes to other pages. use a new paragraph format and mention PAGE PROTECTION for that such that it prints in the Same page.
For the boxes see the seetings of the main window in all pages, especially in NEXT page.. so that the box is coming properly
see the box related commands

Location and size of hotspot in a packaged file

Hi all,
I'm working on a authorware program in which I want to use the location ans size of a clicked hotspot to draw a rectangle. Ultimately, I would like to be able to change the size/position of a hotspot, and when packaged, the rectangle should be drawn at the new position of the hotspot, with the new size. So far, I've been succesful in an unpackaged file with:
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeX))
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeY))
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationX)
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationY)
where Title is the title of the clicked hotspot. So far so good... BUT I learned the hard way that GetIconProperty() does not work in a packaged authorware file (next time I'll first read the help section better!). My question: how can I obtain the same information in a packaged authorware file?
I have been looking at the GetSpriteProperty() function, which should work in a packaged file. However, the hotspots are not sprites, and I don't know what spriteproperties I should use for the location and size of the hotspot (#awSizeX, #awSizeY, #awLocationY, & #awLocationX don't work). Furthermore, GetPostPoint does provide the position of the top left pixel position of the hotspot, but I need separate X and Y values for the position of the hotpot to be able to use the Box() function to draw the rectangle. And I need the of the hotspot as well. Lastly, PositionY@Title and PositionX@Title don't work for my hotspots (the value is always 0 and does not change when clicking the hotspots).
I could solve the problem by making variables of all the position values and size values of all the hotspots, but then I would not be able to change the position and size of the hotspot by dragging, and changing the rectangle accordingly.
I would be more than happy to hear if anyone has a solution for me.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your suggestions! Regarding your first thought: I don't know what you mean by making my clickable area a hit *object. I've tried the help pages of authorware, but it drew a blank. Could you explain how I can make my clickable area a hit *object?
Regarding clickX/Y: the values depend on the exact location where the user clicks, therefore drawing a rectangle over a picture (which is not moving) is difficult using clickX/Y. I would like the rectangle to appear on a certain spot (namely on the position of the hotspot, with the same width & height), regardless where in the hotspot the user clicks.

How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
chuck b.

Hi Chuck,
Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
The formula in C1 is pretty simple: =A1
So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.

Is it possible to adjust the photo angle and size in Snapshots theme

Hi
I'm new to aperture and am having a few frustrated-hair-pulling issues with the Snapshots theme. I was using iPhoto to create a Photobook of my son's first year and found it to be too limited for what I want to create. I came across Aperture and was wow'ed by the description saying I could rotate and resize photos, add text boxes etc. This was just what I was after so I downloaded the free trial to test it. I like the snapshots theme the best for the idea of it looking more "homemade" but seem to be unable to adjust the photo angle and size from the given templates. Also I find that the border in adding new photos (which I can adjust the size and rotation of) is without the custom shadow effect that the template ones have. Duplicating the template photo only gives one with the shadow effect but also of the same size with the same rotation that I can't do anything with! Rrrrghhhh
I thought this would be a great way to customize the album I'm making for my little boy, and that it wouldn't be too hard! My mac skills are considerable, but I'm by no means an expert! Is this program too much for a non-pro-creative-housewife with a wish that may be solveable in iPhoto afterall?
Or am I just missing something? Is there a way to do this or shall I just give up and choose another theme?
Any recommendations are welcome! Please!!! My scalp is now officially sore!

Here's the solution I used to solve the same problem. If you're not comfortable editing the source files, this might be more than you want to take on--but I've done it to several files with no ill effects. You can follow the instructions on this page and the referenced original post from (he includes a link on the page). Good luck! He's got some great tips on some of his other pages.
http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/15/aperture-3-book-theme-trick/
A warning about editing the Master pages--it only edits them in that book--it doesn't update the theme. So if you go to create another book with those same layouts, you'll have to duplicate the book and replace all the images. An alternative would be to create a "clean" book with no photos in it and then just use that as a starting point each time.

Many times I drop a photo into a book page box and it resizes it. I want to scale it smaller but it only allows me to make it bigger. Why can't I slide to make it smaller?

Help on resizing text boxes and general image techniques

Using CS2.
I have two basic questions. One has to do with getting the best vector images (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents. The other has to do with the specifics of working with text boxes in FW.
The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been by using PowerPoint. I do all the graphics work and then save it as a gif. I do cropping in a graphics tool (Irfanview, PS) and then insert or place the image. As long as there is no resizing, things work well. I'm not sure how things like DPI are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that also would be done with the graphics tool. I know Irfanview allows for the dpi to be specified during resizing.
The problem starts to show up when the gif object is resized. Things get distorted and I lose the crispness of the image contents. I'm certainly not an expert on graphics however I've been thinking I either need to 1) make the actual size of graphics in PP the size of the final placed image so there is no resizing (just some cropping) or 2) to work in a tool like FW where (I'm assuming) there are better capabilities to resize vector graphics. My sense (again, not an expert) is that the process I'm using converts to vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and that resizing doesn't work as well for bitmaps as for vector objects. Do I have that right?
Moving on to question 2:
Can text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text? Can their size be seen when originally drasing them? Perhaps spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to set the width of vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text that will fill it to the same size. (I know PP has the ability to put borders on text boxes but when working in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box). Say I have a rectangle that is 81px wide. Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?
I tend to want to control actual object sizes so I can get good spacial alignment. For example, I tend to set the width of a text object to an odd number of px so that any line coming out of the text object aligns well with the text. I must admit that it may be time for me to use a different technique in FW (e.g. more alignment of multiple objects vs. knowing dimensions and seting locations). Does my approach need improvement?
Thanks for any advice
Tom

As I wean off of PP I've started looking at FW and Illustrator (I have both). I've done a logo or two in FW and have used it to build some simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus). It can, as I recall, be a little more complex than what I need in this case.
Since PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a consequence, any graphics application will have many more features than you're used to seeing and more than you need for any one project.
I did a little experimenting with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this work. It seems a little more intuitive.
Is a general guideline to use FW for web-destined graphics and Illustrator for what I used to do in PP?
Your suggested guideline is good. Also, note that if you make a logo or vector graphic in Illustrator (saving as .ai format), you can import that into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object there. FW can import and use, just not create, .ai objectes and files.
FW has some vector tools, they are tucked away under Window > Others > Path. Since FW is intended for producing Web graphics, it is a hybrid application, capable of both vector and photo/image editing. Given that it has some of both, it necessarily doesn't have everything that Illustrator has nor everything that Photoshop has. It has most the features of both of those programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo editing Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator support color profiles and other features important for print that Fireworks does not. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other depending on what kind of graphics you need to create or work with and what your intended use of the work is. (But any of them will be superior to PowerPoint! )
I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the text box resizing. I suspect theres an option selected. Knowing it can be done is enough for me to do some homework.
Maybe...don't think of text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box that is determined by the underlying definition of the font, but it isn't in a text box. (Sometimes swooshs will extend beyond the defining box of a character in the font, but that is another issue). The bounding box for the text object is similar to the bounding box of a circle or a star or an irregular shape. There's a reference box for the dimensions, but the text is not inside some other independent container.
To resize, select the text object and change the font size either using the Properties palette or using the scale tool to drag on a corner of the scaling outline (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).
I think that,with Illustrator, you can define text boxes (or other shapes) and fill them with text. *searches* Ah.. Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html
cheers!

Dynamic text boxes, font size issues

I have created a dynamic text box and an input text box.
I have produced code that replicates whatever is typed in the
input box to display in the dynamic box along with a date and time
stamp once a button is clicked.
This all works fine, except for the sizes of the fonts. for
both boxes, i selected font size 10 . The input box is fine,
however the dynamic box text is huge.
When i make the dynamic text font smaller, it fits in fine,
but the input text that is inserted into the dynamic text box comes
in too big. If i make the input text box font smaller it is
unreadable when typing it in.
any soultion to how to make my font consistent. I am assumin
the problem is because both the text boxes are different sizes,
however i don't know how to resolve the issue.
Any help is much appreciated.

Box in MAIN window of sapscript keeps misaligning...

Hello Experts,
I am currently modifying a sapscript and inside the MAIN window, there is a box command that 'boxes' a
static text. But the problem is, the box misaligns since the number of line items is dynamic.
So, how can I make the box command to just 'box' the static text correctly even though the line item is
dynamic?

HI,
Declare the Box and Static text in the main window with a new text element after the text element of the line items . so it will print it in the end when all of the Line items are printed..
(or)
Just create another script with the BOX and the text you want inside the BOX. i.e. this becomes another script which is separate from the line items you are printing there.
call this script in your driver program with start_form FM.
REPORT YTEST_SCRIPT.
DATA:
ITAB TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT,
FS TYPE SFLIGHT.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO TABLE ITAB.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
EXPORTING
 FORM = 'ZSCRIPT_TEST'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO FS.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
 EXPORTING
 ELEMENT = 'TEST'
 WINDOW = 'MAIN'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'. "---------->Ends the previous form
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM' "------------> Starts your new script with BOX and Static text
EXPORTING
 FORM = 'ZSCRIPT_TEST1'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
 ELEMENT = 'TEST'
 WINDOW = 'MAIN'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
This will print the BOX and the Static text in a new page after the line items got printed..
This will solve your issue...
Thanks&Regards

Need po box and street address both in address

Hi,
i need to print oth PO BOX and Street name & number in sapscript.

this is printing either one of those....
is there any possibility to show both?
Giri

Hi Brad,
I tried to concatenate the street and PO BOX in street field and its working fine... but the problem is client wants in different line... not in same line...
is there any commands avaialble for 2 street names?
You don't need to use LOCATION as the other poster suggested. Like I mentioned before, you can use one of the other NAME fields or one of the other STREET fields to store the PO Box value (or just hold the value at runtime if you're not using an address number for the command). You would use the NAME or STREET line in the ADDRESS command as usual. The ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM function takes care of moving it to a separate line when there are enough lines available. Note that if you intend to use an addiional field for permanent storage of the value, you may need to configure your master data object to make the field visible.
Personally, I might opt for the user exit approach.
