Can I dynamically control the position of objects on a printed page?

Forum:
Oracle Developer Reports Builder (10g)
I have a need to control the position of printing on a peel off label in my report. I currently am forced to represent a complex object three times , i.e. LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER, printing whichever is configured in the PRINTER_INFO table of my schema. I am printing to over 200 printers and they all print the location differently.
Also, since printing through the DESTYPE=PRINTER ,vs printing from a displayed PDF have different results, I would have to refresent these three objects yet again, sligh lower and to the right to support label printing from a PDF.
I have seen where Word Macro can dynamically position this same object by using xy coordinates.
Does anyone know how to do something like this in Oracle Reports.
Thx in advance,
Gary

Dora,
Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. As I mentioned, the label object has many elements and they all sit on top of each other when doing the layout. This by itself is messy to work with.
This has been workable so far with regard to generating output to the several hundred printers of different models and firmware.
The output is rarely if ever centered in both x & y axis. We have only been able to use in production by relaxing the rules so that the text only need be within the boundaries of the label.
I also found that to support printing from the PDF view that the text positioning is well out of the label boundaries. I would be forced to create an additional three complex objects in the 'Y' axis. Needless to say this is quite messy.
I do appreciate your input, but your recommendation does not meet the requirements of my project.
I don't believe that Oracle Reports can do this task. I am thinking that BI Publisher can, and am doing "due diligence" before recommending a new reporting platform.
Thx again.

Can I control the position of the page background image?

Hi All!
My simple question: Can I control the position of the background image for example in a user-made style? I mean can I make the position of the image to center rather then tile? If it possible without editing the html code...

To create a background image for a region create a table nested within that region using the following definition <TABLE WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" MARGIN="0" BORDER="0"> and create an image call integrated into the <TD> tag within said table.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:

Is there a site-wide title tag that I can edit or are the title tags specific to each individual page?

Is there a site-wide title tag that I can edit or are the title tags specific to each individual page? I'm working on my title tags for Destination West at http://xibuhaohua.com and as you can see, it is in Chinese here as 西部豪华 but it's English here at Destination West. So, I'd like to know if I can edit each separately because I think they should be in different languages.

You can set the title for each page in the Page Properties dialog.
Note that on a master page, you can set a page title prefix or suffix if you'd like all your pages using that master to share a title prefix or suffix.

Restart your phone and if that doesn't help, reboot the device.
Restart the iPhone by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPhone by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the phone start up.

Photoshop sliced layout output are table base, do it can control the position by CSS with div?

Dear all,
I have make some image in Photoshop, and sliced it to html
page, but open it in dreamweaver it show me the table layout that
Photoshop Sliced maked ..
I am wonder, now many web site are integration with CSS, and
I had saw some total using CSS with div maked Web Site, how to
control the sliced image after that Photoshop sliced it?
Any simple example for newbie reference?
And sorry of my poor English.

It seems you have exported the html from photoshop into
Dreamweaver.
This is not the best way to build a page. You should slice up
your images
and then export the images only into a folder. You then build
the page
using these exported images in your table or css layout. You
can place the
images directly into table cells or divs or use them as
background images
via css.

In Captivate, how to effectively control the movement of objects on the stage?

How to, say, make a shape (an arrow, for example) which points to a certain location move (and maybe rotate at the same time) to another location (another point on the stage) one second later. I know I can "apply effect" to it, but still I don't find it very easy to control the start position and end position of the arrow and the way it rotates (for example, how to make it rotate along the X, Y and Z axis respectively?)
Or, how can I make an image fly into the stage to a specific location from a certain direction, linger for a specific time, and then fly out in a specified direction? And while setting up this animation, is it possible to scrub across the timeline to see the effect of the animation, as you do in Flash Professional?

An old pain, efficient control of motion paths and motion effects, I know.
All motion effects are relative to the start position of the object, that can allow you to realize the fly in and fly out: time both effects and leave the necessary 'linger' time between the effects. The motion paths can be edited. To have more precise coordinates you can either edit the XML that describes the effect, or create a motion effect in Flash Professional and save it as XML to be used in Captivate, or use my approach: I create a crosshair group with a perfect vertical and horizontal line object, that you can position exactly using the X and Y coordinates and then drag start or end point of the motion path over that cross hair. I have been pleading to have at least a snap function or a serious improvement that allows to enter coordinates but apparently not many users are wanting this improvement. I used that approach here in the first movie: Reset Effects in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog
And no, Preview slide (which is what you do when scrubbing the timeline) is not a real preview, you cannot see those effects.
Please, next time mention the version you are using. In CP7 and before effect duration was relative to object duration, in CP8 it is (finally) absolute timing.

Is it possible to controll the positioning of a new window when someone clicks one of my links

I was wondering if it was possible to control the positoning of a new window that pops up when someone clicks one of my site document links on my dreamweaver site. When a link is clicked and the new window pops up, I'd like to control the window size and positioning of the new window. Is this possible without having to use a tooltip or other option?

Some browsers will display pop-up windows in the parent window, some will open them in a new tab or new window. I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about end user settings.

Can two frames use the same SessionInfo object?

Hi,
I have some questions on using InfoBus Frame.
Do parent frame and child frame HAVE TO make use the same
SessionInfo object?
I tried to show Master table and Detailed table in seperate
frame without login twice. I am lucky it works since I happened
to make two frames have the same SessionInfo object which is
sessionInfo1 and conmment out sessionInfo1.publishSession()in
Detailed frame.
But when I tried to pass Master frame SessionInfo object to
Detailed frame there is nothing showing up in the detailed frame
it is just blank frame.
So two frames have to use the same SessionInfo object . Dose it
make sense?
I would really appreciate anyone who can enlighten me on this
subject.
Thanks you so much for the attention.

1.Use wizard and test the frame
2.pass the sessioninfo object in parent to child(put method in
child, call from parent e.g ..getsessionInfo(SessionInfo ss)
3.pass the sessioninfo object to rowsetinfo in child
4.add Database authentication (username/password is sufficient)
methods right before publish method
*publish activates RowSetInfo and connects to db
5.add methods in parent to call child
That should work though depending on how you have set up your
wizard generated java form, might tweak
Thanks

Dynamically controling the size (in pixels) of array elements?

Hey Everyone,
I am writing a large vi where front panel space is becoming a limitation. One of the elements that I want to display is a 2-D array of boolean indicators (rectangular LEDs). Is there any way to dynamically resize the elements in the array so that regardless of the number of elements, the entire array is always visible and has a constant footprint. For example, say the array is 8 x 8 elements, and takes up 160x160 pixels on the front panel so each element is roughly 20x20 pixels. Then the number of elements shifts to 4x4. I want the display to stay 160x160 pixels, but the size of each element to double to 40x40 pixels. Is this possible?
Thanks all,
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So thank you for two great ideas/examples. Definitely think I have a couple of very workable approaches. I have a follow on question about using the intensity graph approach.
First some background. This indicator is going to show the progress of a sorting operation, 1-4 copies of 1-8 unique items are being sorted into 1-32 containers. The items arrive at the sorter in random order, are identified, and then placed into the container where they are still needed. The point of this indicator is to show the user, at a glance, how full each container is andwhich componenets are missing. I want the elements (columns) to appear different for the unique items, which I know you can't do in an array of booleans. So I had already dumped the boolean approach for an array of colorboxes, and it was the color boxes that I was trying to dynamically size. There is still a boolean array to keep track of if an item has arrived, but that array drives the array of colorboxes where each type of item is color coded by assigning a gray value to colorbox for false, and a particular color if true. See attached, which works pretty well (detailed adjusts will make it just right).
I think the intensity graph will look much nicer though, so here is the question:
How do I map the different colors onto the intensity graph so it looks like the colorbox array without the lines? The attached get vi puts out a different value for each yes/no, which is to say I already know how to take the boolean and convert the 1 state to a unique number, what I don't know how to do is map that number into a particular color on the intensity graph.
Thanks guys.
Super helpful as always!
Matt
