Centering text with drawString() in applet

I want to draw a String in the center of my applet, is there a way to tell it to draw itself centered, or is there a way to find the width of the string to position it absolutely? Which would be easier? Thanks.

You can use the graphics' font metrics (especially the stringWidth (String) method).
Kind regards,
Levi

Centering text with drawString();

Hi there! I'm putting some text inside some shapes (ellipses). So far woked great the alignment, here's my piece of code :
Font thisFont = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 11);
          g.setFont(thisFont);
          g.setPaint(Color.black);
          FontMetrics metrics = g.getFontMetrics();
          int strWidth = metrics.stringWidth(this.objetivo);
          int h = metrics.getHeight();
          int fontXOffset = ((this.width - strWidth) / 2) + this.x;
          int fontYOffset = ((this.height + h) / 2) + this.y;Problem is when my string gets bigger than the ellipse width. I'd like to break it into new lines and than arrange it on the center of the shape.
Any ideias???

Yep, but considering that I don't know how many lines
does my text will have, I wont be able to center it
vertically. Because, a text with only one line, doesnt
start at the same point as a text that has 3 lines,
agree with me?I understand now: you want to center vertically as well as horizontally.
You'll have to do 2 passes:
1. determine how many lines the text will be broken into, but don't draw.
2. draw the text, centered vertically, and additionally horizontally if you wish.
You could either accumulate the TextLayouts from 1 to use in 2, or recompute them.

Centering Text with CS5

Hi Folks,
I usually add a 200px white matte around my photos, and put a couple of lines of text at the bottom to give the image a title, and to include my name.
The two lines of text end up on two seperate text layers, and I usually just use the move tool to position / centre them "by eye" ... and 1/2 the time when I've flattened the image - converted it to sRGB profile - uploaded it to the website - linked to it from a forum etc I THEN discover that I've done a bad job of aligning the text (eg line 2 may not be centred with respect to line 1 etc).
Just wondering if anyone has any workflows that would make this text aligning step easier? It would also be great if it were possible to have the rulers centered on the image (ie so zero is in the middle), with a couple of highlights representing the ends of the text - anyone know if this is possible?
Many thanks,
Cheers,
Colin Southern

Thanks folks,
Problem solved, thanks to your help!

Centering texts with DefaultTableCellRenderer

Hi,
I 've created a JTable and now I am trying to center the text in the cells of the table.
I am using an AbstractTableModel for this table and the data are store in a vector.
I tried to extends DefaultTableCellRenderer like this but it did not work because (I think) of the vector.
Here a snippet:
class centerTextRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer{
public centerTextRenderer(){
setHorizontalAlignment(CENTER );
public void setValue( Object value){
setText( value.toString() );
Does anyone have a suggestion?
--kirk123

Your class looks OK (you don't even need to override the setValue() method). Did you tell your table to use your renderer?
table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new CenterTextRenderer());
Note: the Java convention is to use upper case characters for all words in a class name.

Reading and writing to a text file from an Applet

I'm a novice java programming with very little formal programming training. I've pieced together enough knowledge to do what I've wanted to do so far...
However, I've been unable to figure out how to read and write to a text file from an Applet (I can do it from a normal java program just fine). Here is a simple example of what I'd like to do (you can also look at it on my website: www.stat.colostate.edu/~leach/test02/test02.html). I know that there is some problem with permission/security but I'm not smart enough to understand what the error messages are telling or understand the few books I have. If anyone can tell me how to get this applet to work, or direct me to some referrences that would help me out I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Andy

I have almost the exact same problem, and I am in the same situation as you are with respects to the language.
I am simply trying to create a file and output some garbage to it but my applet always spits back a security violation. I've tried eliminating the restrictions on the applet runner I use but I still get the error.
My method:
debug = new Label() ;
debug.setLocation( 20, 20 ) ;
debug.setSize( 500, 15 ) ;
add( debug ) ;
// output
try
     OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream( new File( "" + getCodeBase() + "output.txt" ) ) ;
     byte[] buffer = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } ;
     file.write( buffer ) ;
     file.close() ;
} catch( Exception e )
     debug.setText( e.toString() ) ;
     Can anyone tell why this isnt working?

I need a report in SAP which allows multiple Profit centers selection with

Hi,
Cany anybody help me with below issue -
I need a report in SAP which allowing multiple Profit centers selection with :
- Profit Center #
- Profit center Name
- Profit center long text
- Profit Center group
- the related PC node showing the BU and the product category group.
Let me know is there any report which can provide us with all this details.
With regards.

Hi,
I recommend the PCA standard drill-down or interactive reports accessible via the follwoing menu path:
Accounting --> Enterprise Controlling --> PCA --> Infosystem --> Reports for PCA
There are several reports which allow entering profitcenter groups or profitcenters.
Long Text is not possible. Makes also no sense to report on Long Text.
Best regards,
Andreas

Centered text in PDF

Hi
I am new to this Acrobat SDK forum. I am trying to write a PDF code, but I have problems centering text. Below is a short "program" that writes the text "Centered text" starting at position x=100, y=600. But how do I center this text at some position, say x=200, y=600 ? Can anyone help?

Hi, Irosenth and others again.
To try to solve my problem (because I do not know how to do this in PDF), I made a short PostScript program to check the length of the characters in Helvetiva 10 pt. A part of the program is shown below. If I have the length, I can calculate the centered position of the text in my C or Fortran program, that makes the PDF file. This investigation gave, for instance, the lengths for A, B and W as:
A: 6.66797
F: 6.10840
W: 9.43945
When I placed the EPS file into Adobe InDesign a bit different values came out:
A: 6.66959
F: 6.10963
W: 9.43942
... and still different in Adobe Photoshop:
A: 6.67081
F: 6.11075
W: 9.44115
I have the feeling that character lengths are given as integers in the font file (not as real numbers) and I actually have to multiply these lengths (for 10 pt. Helvetica) with some unknown value to find the "correct" lengths of the given characters. Does anyone know the actual length of the character A in Helvetica for instance?
PostScript program:
/Helvetica findfont
dup length dict begin
{1 index /FID ne {def} {pop pop} ifelse} forall
/Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding def
currentdict
end
/Helvetica-ANSI exch definefont pop
gsave

The only concern I would have in that is that sometimes there are preparatory or cleanup methods invoked behind the scenes before or after the method you write. For example, you never call myThread.run(), you call myThread.start();
I tried pasting your code into Eclipse but Eclipse gave lots of errors. And in order to investigate these errors, I'd have to be able to read your code, but you have no indentations so it's a bit hard to do.

Output to a text file in an applet...

i can't figure out how to do output to a text file in an applet... i've gotten output in applications, but nto applets. if someone can give me a link to a site that explains this, i would be much appreciative.

There is no easy way, since accessing Files with write permissions is a security issue. You can sign the JAR your applet is in, and use Security managers to try and get around it, but it is quite complicated I believe.
Do a search for Security Signed Applets etc...

Design Canvas & Centering text

Forgive me for being a noob here but I have a couple of questions :-
1.) How do I undock the design canvas so I can use it full screen ? At the moment, everything will only snap to the grid that is the displayed part of the design canvas - not the whole screen.
2.) How do I centre text on the screen for instance a heading ? I've used 'text-align: center' but that of course just justifies in the output text box - not the screen.

(1) At the moment there's no way to do that with a single gesture, but we're merging the NetBeans 4.0 window manager so in the future that will be easy.
For now, you can click on the "pushpin"-like icon near the top of the properties and project navigator window to cause them to slide out to the right.
(2) To get centering like this, don't use absolute positioning. Here's what you can do: go to the Source tab, and add something like this (under body or form depending on where you want it):
 Hello World! 
(or use h1, h2, ... instead of p.) Output Text renders a span which is an inline tag, so you can't set the text-align directly on it. If you want to use an output text (for example to value bind it), you can first add an output text (but DON'T absolute position it: either double click on the output text item in the palette, or drop it and then go remove its position, left and top properties from the style property of the output text). Then go to the source tab, locate the h:outputText you've dropped, and add a right before it and right after it, e.g. "wrap the output text with a p block tag).
Hope that helps.
