Detect monitor size question

Hi:
Not sure if this will be a problem, but probably it will.
If two monitor sizes differ by a lot...say a 21 inch vs a 17 inch; And I have a whole bunch of Swing components, most of them have preferred sizes. The components were first implemented on the 21 inch monitor, and they look good on that. If I now switch to the 17 inch monitor , I am afraid the components are probably gonna be crowded together..(i am not sure about this yet...i will try this soon)...if so, what can I do to make my components' sizes customized for different sized monitors?

Actually, I just tried, and it does matter. Many of my buttons couldn't show because their total width is wider than the 17 inch monitors. So my application looks very messed up on the 17 inch monitor. I used "setPreferredSize" for most of my components(Especially buttons), because I want my buttons to be the same size, despite the fact that the button text might not all show up. Hmm, would it be possible that if I set the Minimum Size to be much smaller than the Preferred size, then the buttons would be much smaller on a smaller monitor?

  • Program Monitor Size Problem

    I am able to import .mpeg files into PP CS5.  However, while my Source Monitor auto sizes the material correctly, the same material appears zoomed in on my Program Monitor.  I have selected "Fit" as the Program Monitor size.  How do I correct this?  Is it a result of my project preferences perhaps?  Thanks.

    Thanks, Jim.  I studied this video piece closely.  But it did not address the issue of mixed footage, which is the underlying reason for the varying Program Monitor screen sizes of images.  Essentially, if I choose a Sequence setting to accomodate my 1280 x 720 (1.0) footage, then my 1440 x 1080 (1.3333) footage is enlarged in my Program Monitor.  By contrast, if I choose a Sequence setting to accomodate my 1440 x 1080 (1.3333) footage, my 1280 x 720 (1.0) footage is reduced in my Program Monitor.
    I should point out that I was indeed able to create a sequence for each footage type file.  And both Source and Monitor image sizes matched.  But as soon as I created a new sequence and dropped clips from the two different footages into it, I was right back where I started.
    I attempted using Interpret Footage to try and match footage.  But the available selections there do not accomplish this.
    So I suppose the question is:  How does one conform mixed footage like those listed above so that they match in the Program Monitor and consequently, when exported?
    Thanks 

  • Monitor size and websites

    Hi hows it going!
    My name is John
    My question is how do i get my site to stretch and stay consistant to various monitor sizes?
    I constantly have to crt+ to resize on different screens.

    John,
    If you use a relative width (100% width instead of a fixed value in px), the site/pages will adapt to the currently available width.

  • Block websites from detecting window size

    It seems that many websites are able to detect the size of the browser window. This creates two major problems for me:
    1. If I resize the window smaller than some unknown threshold width, the site switches to a mobile version.
    2. If I resize the window beyond a certain dimension, video sites like Youtube will shrink the size of the video player to some proportionally smaller size.
    I have a 42-inch monitor, so I like to work with multiple windows open at the same time, in non-overlapping positions. I might want to watch a video in a window perfectly resized to the dimensions of the video player plug-in only, in the corner of my screen, while working on a Word document side-by-side with a webpage and an Excel spreadsheet. I like to resize things in tall, narrow dimensions because this is what documents look like in real life and it minimizes vertical scrolling.
    How can I either block websites from detecting my browser window dimensions or pass a phony value to them so they display the full-size page (including larger sizes of media players) no matter what size I actually make the windows? I'd prefer to do this in the about:config rather than installing an add-on.
    Why do web designers put so much effort into avoiding scrollbars?!?! Is it so that we have to look at their stupid ads and banners along the margins of the real content?

    ''jscher2000 [[#answer-716231|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    I don't know of a way to override that and report a higher value without actually changing the zoom level of the page to make the text smaller. Hmm...
    </blockquote>
    And that's precisely what I want to do. How many different ways can a website query the user's screen size? (JS, CSS, etc.) If the list of methods is short enough, is there a way that I could block those specific methods, or better yet force a return value of my choosing? I don't know anything about user stylesheets, but based on some casual research I suspect that I can stop CSS-based queries by creating my own user stylesheet.
    I suppose an extreme measure is to block those scripts entirely, but that would break a lot of websites these days.

  • How to detect the size of an image

    Hi,
    I have a servlet which grabs an image (jpg or gif) from a BLOB stored in my database and sents the image back to the client through the ServletOutputStream. This all works good and the image is presented nicely. However, I now want to have my servlet detect the size of the image, and if it is too big resize the image and return it.
    As I am new to images in JAVA I am unsure how to do this and what tools to use for it. I found some information on JAI, but this seems way to elaborate for what I need. Please let me know if anyone knows how to do this.
    Thank you and regards,
    Joost Schouten

    This code figures out the size of any object in bytes. I am not sure about resizing the image though..
    public int getSerializedSize(Object object)
           try
              ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(baos);
              oos.writeObject(object);
              byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
              oos.close();
              baos.close();
              return bytes.length;
           catch(Exception e) //not good
              e.printStackTrace();
           return -1;
         }Rishi

  • Frameset and monitor size

    Howdy, I have a frameset that looks one way on a 14 inch
    monitor but looks another way on a 15 inch or larger screen. Please
    note I am using the same operating system (vista), the same
    browser, ie 7. Both screens are using 1280 x 800. But the frame set
    draws the top frame higher on bigger monitors. For example I have a
    top frame and it has text displayed in it. On a 14 inch monitor
    there is about a 1/8 inch gap between the bottom of the text and
    the frame border. But viewed on a larger monitor with all the above
    specs there is a greater gap between the botton of the text and the
    frame border. What do I need to do to make this frameset display
    the same on different monitors.
    Here is the page:
    http://www.christian-software.com/design/root/cybersitter_frame.html
    Jeff

    What you are describing is a browser viewport dimension
    problem not a
    monitor size problem. You could see both effects on the
    larger monitor by
    simply making your browser height shorter. Click and drag the
    bottom edge
    of the browser viewport to see what I mean.
    You need to know about frames, however. Please read on -
    The decision to use or not use frames should be based on a)
    your site's
    needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential
    problems that frames
    can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site
    and for your
    visitors as casual users of the site.
    I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
    more problems
    than they solve.
    Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
    are described,
    the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
    the kind of
    person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
    when they
    arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
    that you are
    prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
    a need to use
    frames, then by all means use them.
    As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
    frames and their
    potential problems can be found on these two links -
    http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php
    http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/frames/
    Your problem is that you have specified the height of BOTH of
    the two frames
    in absolute values.
    <frameset rows="120,332" cols="*" border="4"
    framespacing="4"
    frameborder="NO">
    <frame src="cybersitter_frame_top.html"
    name="cybersitter_top"
    scrolling="NO">
    <frame
    src="https://www.cybersitter.com/secure/dcsorder.asp"
    name="cybersitter_main">
    </frameset>
    So - when the browser is taller than 120 + 332 = 452px, the
    extra height
    will be allocated to each frame in the ratio of 120/332 to
    the top frame and
    212/332 to the bottom frame. The way to overcome this is to
    make the top
    frame fixed in height but the bottom frame completely
    flexible -
    <frameset rows="120,*" cols="*" border="4"
    framespacing="4"
    frameborder="NO">
    Then rip out the frames and throw them away!

  • Div box gets relocated depending on browser and monitor size. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    div box gets relocated depending on browser and monitor size. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is usually caused by malformed HTML, CSS and/or the use of absolute positioning in primary layouts.  Without a link, it's all guesswork on how to fix it though.

  • Flash Display size on various monitor sizes

    I'm creating an flash interactive that will be view several different monitor sizes. What's a safe or standard size (resolution) to create the flash movie.
    Thanks for any response.

    You should use whatever size fits comfortably in the browser on the smallest screen. Do you have any idea what size screen resolutions your users will be using?

  • Bridge monitor size preview

    Feature request.....
    If you are rebuilding the bridge cache from scratch, it would be valuable to allow and option to allow you to specify the "Generate monitor-size preview"  monitor size.  This would be very useful if you are using an alternate machine to generate the cache.  For example, if you have a very large cache (500,000+ images), the process could take a week of processing or more and it would be useful to do this on a second machine (such as a laptop) which has a smaller screen than the main working computer.  For example, the desired monitor size on my processing computer is 1920 pixels wide, however my laptop may have only 1024 pixels.  By allowing a monitor size specification, I could specify that the preview images could be 1920 pixels even though the actual build computer would have only 1024 pixel screen.

    Thanks for the input-  You might try posting it here also:

  • How do I create a digital book that fits tablets and computer monitor sizes?

    How do I create a digital book that fits tablets and computer monitor sizes?
    Example: An 8.5 X 11, 2 column Word document with pictures, approximately 100 pages.
    Must I also publish the book in a 5X8 format or does Acrobat have something that will do that for me?

    Starting at the end:
    - When the movie or tv show does transfer onto your iphone/ipod touch you will be able to see it in the expanded view of your device in the "DEVICES" section.
    - If the files are not on your device, then:
         -- confirm you have SD or HD-SD video. HD-only content will not play and probably will not even sync. iTunes seems to reliably have SD versions with their HD distributions so this should not be an issue
         -- confirm you are synch-ing the content to the ipod device by browsing the DEVICE view's Movie or TV Show tabs to confirm the movie or episode is 'checked'
    - If the files are on the iPod and you cannot find them, check your Settings: General for Restrictions.  If you restrict, for example the movies to "G" rating. PG and higher movies will sync but you will not be able to find them on the iPod!

  • Fit the ALV grid to the monitor size

    Hi all,
    Please let me know how i can fit the ALV grid to the monitor size of the user. That is The grids should be layered and expanded to the full width of the users monitor.
    Thanks in advance
    Jey Sabith Ebron

    Hi Jey,
    You can fit ALV grid to monitor size by defining the container as docking container.
    In this case, you neednot create a custom container .
    You can use the following code:
      CONSTANTS: lc_height TYPE i VALUE 1200.
    DATA: go_container       TYPE REF TO cl_gui_docking_container,
          go_alv_tree        TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_tree.
        CREATE OBJECT go_container
          EXPORTING
            repid                       = sy-repid
            dynnr                       = sy-dynnr
            side                        = 2                        " Top
            extension                   = lc_height
            metric                      = 1                        " Pixel
          EXCEPTIONS
            cntl_error                  = 1
            cntl_system_error           = 2

    Code above is for ALV tree.
    You can define any ALV grid object using docking container.
    This will solve your problem.
    Let me know if you face any issues.

  • Monitor-size previews not monitor-sized

    I'm glad I'm not going mad, like I thought I was.
    I've recently thought that it is difficult to judge the sharpness of my images in Bridge's full-screen preview. I seem to remember images being sharper in the past, but maybe it's just my perception. I certainly remember it being improved in CS4 (or was it CS3?).
    After discussing an issue with projection quality, I looked in the "1024" preview folder of the Bridge cache, and discovered that the images were not monitor-sized, even though I have this option selected in preferences.
    I use a single 1920x1200 display. The previews are 1920x1275 (an aspect ratio of approximately 3:2, matching the original images). Consequently, the image has to be downsized to fit the monitor. This could be why full-screen previews are slightly soft. Surely a monitor-size preview of a 3:2 image should be about 1800x1200?
    What does anyone else have in their cache? Have I found a bug?

    Do they lose sharpness in their Bridge preview or space-bar display?  I haven't observed that in my environment, but then it would depend in part on image content and I'm perhaps not too critical at that stage of previewing (I can go to 100% preview if I need to evaluate detail).  Seems like resampling down would be preferable to resampling up.
    I'm concerned with full-screen preview (space bar) and slideshow (Ctrl-L) viewing.
    I regularly use full-screen mode to assess image quality - including sharpness - in my first pass of a shoot. Any soft or burred images might be deleted if unusuable. However, I am finding that images appear soft, even though a 100% preview shows that they are sharper than expected.
    On my set-up, a 4288x2848 image is resampled by Bridge to give a 1920x1275 preview. Viewing this full-screen or in slideshow mode, it is again resampled to 1807x1200 (94%) to fit.
    I would have thought it would make more sense to generate a preview which fits the screen, rather than the longest side, to avoid having to resample twice and potentially lose image quality.
    Actually, I can think of one reason why the longest side method would be better: using the Scaled to Fill setting in Slideshow mode (which ironically wouldn't use any scaling). If that's the way it's got to be, then it would be nice to at least see better scaling sharpness on full-screen settings.

  • RE: Get Monitor Size

    Hi, there,
    I want to get monitor size in my JFrame class, which method should I call? Can somebody help me out?
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Xin

    Toolkit tk = getDefaultToolkit();
    Dimension dim = tk.getScreenSize();
    this.setSize(dim.getWidth(), dim.getHeight());
    or
    this.setSize(dim);
    should work as well I think.

  • The 'Monitor Size' setting could do with an update

    This isn't the most important issue in the world, but I did notice that the 'Monitor Size' setting in Frame 11 (Edit > Preferences > Global > General > Monitor Size) hasn't changed for years.
    It's used so that when you have your screen set to 100% zoom, it matches the real paper world in size.
    But - it just has a drop-down for 'diagonal width" monitor size which assumes a 4:3 aspect ratio (as per old CRT monitors) and only goes up to 22".  I'm currently typing on a 23" 'widescreen' (16:9) monitor so I don't think that diagonal width drop-down is going to do much useful for me

    I presume this setting wasn't fixed in FM12, and still assumes a quaint single-screen 4:3 aspect ratio.
    Back when computers were slower, and I was doing a lot of work with relatively high res TIFFs, I figured out that if I set Monitor Size and zoom levels carefully, I could get specific zoom levels to render raster images at exact integer multiples or fractions of the video card's frame buffer raster dimensions. I found that this made a huge difference in display & refresh performance. At 1:1, doing so apparently eliminated resampling of the image data entirely. At integer 1:N or N:1, it apparently minimized the computation required, and minimized artifacts.
    This sort of consideration is less important today, but it would be nice to get the parameter fixed, or at least publish a FAQ on how to game the 4:3 assumption for 16:9, 16:10 and 21:9 monitors, as well as arbitrary multi-monitor configurations.
