Changing the size of one cell in a table

I have created a table using pages and have struck a problem. I want to resize the width of just one individual cell, but when I highlight it and try to resize it, it resizes all the columns on that part of the table (if that makes sense).
Can I resize the width of just ONE individual cell?

It makes perfect sense, but the ability was dropped with Pages '09. I'm not sure why, but it might have been because of all the difficulties that arose with sorting & such in earlier versions.

I want to programmtically change the font of one cell at a time in a LabVIEW table

I want to programmtically change the font of one cell at a time in a LabVIEW table. How would I do this. I know it is possible to change an individual cells font properties on the front panel but I want to do it via the diagram (code).

You are able to change each cell's background and foreground (text) color, but it seems the ability to specify font information with properties is lacking in both 6.1 and 7.0.

How can I change the coIor of one cell in a JTable

Hello,
I need to change the colours of the cells in a table. The problem is that when I try to change the colour of a one cell the colour of entire column is changed. See the way that I tried to use.
TableCellRenderer cr = table.getCellRenderer(row, col);
if (cr instanceof DefaultTableCellRenderer) {
((DefaultTableCellRenderer)cr).setBackground(bgColor);
......Please let me know if you have any suggestion
Thanks a lot
Jan

try this ...
In ur table call this
ColorRenderer cell=new ColorRender();
// for(int i=0;i<table.getModel().getColumnCount();i++){
// TableColumn mod=this.getColumn((this.getModel().getColumnName(i)));
mod.setCellRenderer(cell);
And ur ColorRender calss should override DefaultTableCellRenderer like this
class ColorRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
protected int align;
public ColorRenderer(int align) {
this.align=align;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,
int column) {
setHorizontalAlignment(align);
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected,
hasFocus, row, column);
if(col==4){
setBackground(Color.cyan);
return this;

Change the Size of "Code" field in Master Table of UDO

Hi there,
I am using UDO in my form, where "Code" is the Primary key field of the Master Table.
Now the Size of the same is 8 characters. Can any one of you help me, to change the "Code" size to 15 characters?
Thanking you,
Pradeep

Hi pradeep,
You can't. But you can create a new alphanumeric field with the intended size.

Adding JUST ONE CELL to a table within Pages

Hello,
I would like to add +just one cell+ to a table within "Pages" - but as far as I can see the program only offers to add whole lines or columns. (Within "MS Word", you have the possibility to "add cells" in a table - you can decide whether you want to shift the other cells downward or to the right.)
Do I miss something?
Thanks for your help.
nb.

Maybe I should have said: Is there a function within Pages that is equivalent to the (very useful) one within Word. There isn't, I'm afraid.
Can I adjust only the size of one cell (with the mouse, by clicking on the vertical/horizontal line) without changing the size of the whole column/line? I guess that it should be working - I didn't manage to do it - might be kind of tricky.
As I said: Thank you!
All the best,
nb.

What is happening when I change the size of the image in the program sequence window?

I noticed that I can change the image size of my exported file. I imported a 720 x 480 DV file into CS5.5. I went to my program sequence window and changed the settings to show the smallest image in that window. I then clicked on the image and used the handles that appear to make that small image large enough to nearly fill the screen. When I exported my final file and played the resulting WMV, the image on my screen was nearly twice as large as it would have been if I had not previously altered the image size in the program sequence window. I had to do this alteration for each clip in my timeline, or the unaltered ones would stay at the smaller size. The quality did not seem to be significantly impaired. I learned about this on a youtube video. The person who did the video claimed that this was a simple and quick way to upgrade standard video to HD. Of course this is not true. He was only changing the size of the resulting video. Does anyone know what is really happing when you do this procedure and why it changes the size of the exported video?

The size (resolution) of the exported video is not affected by anything you do while editing. It is dependant solely on the resolution set in the export settings.
Ideally you want to edit in an sequence that matches your media\, which will be the same size or larger than the required export. In other words, the same or smaller is OK. Making things bigger in post is not the best option. If you need things bigger, shoot them bigger.

Troubles by changing the size of a bookmark header text Repot generation Toolkit

Hello everyone
I'm having troubles getting the size of a header text formatted into a different font size, I attach the code I'm using to get the work done.
At the end I get all I want from the report generation toolkit but the text size in the header and footer . Does Anyone have a clue?
Well the image is too small I'm getting an error when I try to post a bigger one. The thing is that the VI's used here to change the size are append report text.vi and format text.vi. The first one is used to insert text through bookmarks in the header and footer (it works just gereat) and the second one is intended to change the size of the inserted text (it doesn't work at all) I've already used shift registers in the for loop but I get the same results. The last VI is dispose report.vi
thanks in advance

Maquina Etdos Verifica Reporte.vi ‏94 KB

Hello Julio9,
sorry for the waiting I had to clean the block diagram up and take into account some data security issues before I could post the information you asked me to. I have to tell you that I already came out with a patch for the issue nonetheless it is not the correct way to solve it and I would appretiate if you or anyone else could help me to do it right.
Here is what I changed:
In my code at the Initialize state (within the state machine) there is the New Report.vi I opened it to get also the new report SubVI.vi opened, afterwards I selected the NI_Word.lvclass: new report subvi.vi and opened it in its code yoou can easly see the double numeric constant value for the size of the text inserted as default. I just changed it from 12 to 8 to correct the formatting. As the outcome all the text inserted through the bookmarks have the default size (8 pts).
I attached the new version of my code with all the documents you will need. Please follow these steps:
1.-Open the project named Verifica Temperaturas 2010.lvproj
2.-Run the main vi named Maquina Etdos verifica reporte 2.vi
3.-Check the option Laboratorio de Refrigeradores:
4.-Click OK
5.-Complete the information as shown:
(For Selecciona Machote pick the word document named Document.doc attached in the .zip file. For the Selecciona Archivo de temperaturas pick the Estacion1_21-02-2012.txt file also attached in the .zip file)
6.-Press Siguiente
After completing the steps you'll see how the document in created. As expected the size of the text in the header is 8 pts.

Changing the size of a JComboBox

Greetings,
I am trying to build a mechanism to perform zooming on a JPanel with an arbitrary collection of components (including nested JPanels). I've tried a number of things with little success. The following is my most promising contraption. It can zoom labels, textfields, checkboxes, and buttons. However, for some reason, the combo box refuses to accept a changes to its size. I'm not sure why this is the case. Its font changes size appropriately.
Anyway, I'm running in JDK 1.4, and the following program lays out a palette of components. To change the size of the components, hit F1 to zoom in, and F2 to zoom out.

            return AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(m_zoom, m_zoom);

            return font.deriveFont(getTransform());
        private Dimension transform(Dimension dimension)
            Dimension retval = new Dimension();

component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));First of all the above line is not needed. The LayoutManager will determine the bounds (size and location) of each component in the container based on the rules of the LayoutManager. The Flow Layout is the default layout manager for a panel and it simply uses the preferred size of the component as the size of the component.
So what happens is that when you change the font of the component you are changing the preferred size of the component.
So why doesn't the combo box work? Well I took a look at the preferred size calculation of the combo box (from the BasicComboBoxUI) and it actually caches the preferred size. The combo box uses a renderer, so the value is cached for performance one would assume. The method does recalculate the size when certain properties change. Note the isDisplaySizeDirty flag used in the code below:
         else if (propertyName.equals("prototypeDisplayValue")) {
                isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
                isDisplaySizeDirty = true;
                comboBox.revalidate();
         else if (propertyName.equals("renderer")) {
                isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
                isDisplaySizeDirty = true;
                comboBox.revalidate();
            }It also handles a Font property change as well:
            else if ( propertyName.equals( "font" ) ) {
                listBox.setFont( comboBox.getFont() );
                if ( editor != null ) {
                    editor.setFont( comboBox.getFont() );
                isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
                comboBox.validate();
            }but notice that the isDisplaySizeDirty flag is missing. This would seem to be a bug (but I don't know why two flags are required).
Anyway, the following change to your code seems to work:
// component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));
if (component instanceof JComponent)
     ((JComponent)component).updateUI();
}

Changing the size of a drop down list

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list? For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer. Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it. Is this possible? Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Amanda

I am using Tahoma size 10 as well.
Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records? So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records. For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
Wal-Mart 6124
Wal-Mart 6125
Wal-Mart 6126
Wal-Mart 7001
Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter). Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
Thanks again,
Amanda

Changing the Size of generated graph in excel report generation toolkit

Hi, i am trying to build a report generation vi for my Structural health monitoring system in which i need to export 3 graphs in to an excel report. The idea is to have the report on a single page, but when i paste them along with the ceiling and pillar deviation percentages, the report just exceeds the page limit. I wanted to know whether one can change the size of the graphs in excel? One can do it in word(tried that), but i dont want to use the bookmark option as it intend to put this up as a webservice in the next step. I am using LabVIEW 2009 Thanks.

Report Generation SHM.vi ‏30 KB

Hi,
I haven't tried this myself, but looking through the report generation toolkit the "Excel format image VI" (in the Excel specific tab of the Report Genertaion window) looks to be the one you are after. The help entry for the VI says to: "Use this VI to format any type of image in a worksheet, including front panel images, images from a file, and graphs"
Hopefully this will help.

"If anyone needs me, I'll be in the Angry Dome!"

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

How to change the size of control´s prompt?

No matter the size of data to be displayed in the view suface prompt, the controls have the same size.
Does anyone here know how to change the size of control in surface prompt?

HI,
In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.
Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
*** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
Repeat *** for all four images.
Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
Quick sample attached (sorry for the poor images created )
