Displaying a matrix in swing----HELP!! :)

Hello I want to print out values from a matrix in some sort of table.
javax.swing.JTable is almost what I want, but you can't do row labels (only column labels, I think)--
Are there any classes like JTable, but a little more like an Excel spreadsheet where you have labels on the columns and rows???
Or any other suggestions for displaying matrix values with swing would be helpful!!
THANKS!!!!

Displaying a matrix in Swing

Hi all,
Is there anybody who knows a easy way of displaying a matrix in Swing. It can be done by declaring a lot of buttons (64 buttons in a 8x8 matrix) and than displaying them, but there has to be a better way. Any suggestions
Greetings.
Vincent

You could use AWT or Java2D graphics to display them within a JPanel. Just override the paintComponent(Graphics g) method (don't forget to call super.paintComponent(g) first) and do the drawing in there.
If you need interaction, you could implement a MouseMotionListener and MouseListener to see over which element the mouse is over and in which a mouse button was clicked (or even double-clicked).
class MyMatrixPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight());
g.setColor(Color.black);
for(int i = 0; i < number_of_rows+1; i++) {
g.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
g.drawString("m00",x,y);
for(int i = 0; i < number_of_columns+1; i++)
g.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
The JPanel will need to be added to a JFrame, JDialog, or similar. You'll have to supply the coordinates, and of course this is skeletal. Let me know if this helps and if you need more info.

Display Unicode Character in Swing Objects

I am trying to display Chinese Characters using Swing GUI.
I created Unicode strings using escape character \uXXXX
I displayed \u4e00 successfully
However when I tried to display \ub8db i got a square box displayed instead.
I am using: Winnt ver 4 ,RichWin 97
private Object listData[] = {
new String("\ucfe3\ub8db"), // Two boxes displayed in list
new String("\u4e01\u4e00"), // Characters displayed correctly
new String("Third selection")
To hope to get some replies ASAP. Thanks!!!

Hi Patrick,
Yeh, fonts are rather ubiquitous when it comes to internationalization. The fact that the font.properties files still exist confuses a lot of people. In reality, Sun doesn't support them any more, and they aren't all that useful if you're actually deploying your code onto other machines.
So, to answer your questions... :D
1) Each component will have a font set on it. To start with, each component will end up with the JDK default, usually the Dialog font in Java. From memory, I think this maps to Arial on Windows systems, though I'm not sure if RichWin alters this in anyway, as I haven't used it myself.
You can check the available fonts on your machine by calling:
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
This returns an array of strings. You can basically create a new font from any of the names that appear in here. For instance, if one of the strings was "Arial Bold", you could create the following font:
Font myFont = new Font("Arial Bold", Font.PLAIN, 12);
2) The best way is to simply create the font you want on startup. If you can't rely on the font
you need being installed on every machine you plan to run your program on, the best solution is to either install it on startup, or carry it around with you.
Have a look at Font.createFont(), as it allows you to create a new Font object from a *.TTF file (a TrueType font). In JDK1.3, this is buggy, leaving a large temp file behind every time you run it, but I've already tried this under Merlin Beta, and it's fixed and working fine.
The reason this is handy is because the font we keep talking about on here, Arial Unicode MS, is a TrueType font. So you can carry the font around with you, and load it on startup using this call.
Arial Unicode MS is a 23Mb font, but it's capable of displaying just about any character you could imagine.
The trick from there, once you've loaded your font, is to make sure you call setFont() on just about any component you create. Menus are a cow - you've got to listen for events, as the dropdown menus don't always get the font straight away. But other than that, it's fairly simple.
3) The short answer is to call the getAvailableFontFamilyNames() call above, and look for any familiar font names. If you can't find any, you know you're not going to be able to display anything.
Windows seems to have standard fonts for the international languages. In Chinese, this is SimHei for Simplified (mainland) Chinese, and MingLiU for Traditional (Taiwanese) Chinese. Simplified covers about 30,000 Kanji, while Traditional covers around 80,000.
So for Chinese, you would look for "SimHei" and "MingLiU", plus any of the fonts capable of displaying anything, like "Arial Unicode MS". If none of these strings are in the array, you may want to carry the Arial Unicode MS installer around with you and execute it. This file is about 11Mb, and is available as a download off the Microsoft website.
4) Probably about the most useful thing I've come across is the Sun I18N tutorial on this very website. There isn't a heck of a lot out there, unfortunately. About the only other things I can recommend are http://www.unicode.org for the Unicode character codes, and http://www.njstar.com for NJStar Communicator, which you'll find useful if you're working with Chinese.
Oh, and watch this forum, of course. ;D
Hope that helps!

Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
erroneously assign a wrong variable!

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Banner image will not display in Dreamweaver; can you help?

Banner image will not display in Dreamweaver; can you help?

If the banner image is not displaying, it is either not in an acceptable web file format (optimized for web as jpg, gif or png). Or it is corrupted. Or the path to the image file on server is broken.
It's impossible to say more without a link to your problem page.

Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Hi
I had similar problem. May be my dicision will be helpfull for you.
There are table (for simplicity) sheet(emp, day, job) with the primary key(emp, day). It's needed matrix with X axis as 'emp', Y axis as 'day' (for a one month) and 'job' as the cell.
I created block SHEET_BLOCK with the items: EMP, DAY_01, DAY_02, ..., DAY_31. 'Query Data Souce Name' is:
SELECT emp FROM sheet;
EMP is the 'Database Item', but another (DAY_??) aren't 'Database Item'.
Cteated POST_QUERY trigger for populating fields DAY_??:
DECLARE
v_dest_item VARCHAR2(80);
v_rec_num NUMBER;
CURSOR c_emp_day_job IS
SELECT day, job
FROM sheet
WHERE emp = :SHEET_BLOCK.EMP
BEGIN
IF :System.Mode != 'QUERY' THEN
RETURN;
END IF;
FOR v_emp_day_job IN c_emp_day_job LOOP
v_dest_item := ':SHEET_BLOCK.DAY_' | | v_emp_day_job.day;
COPY( v_emp_day_job.job, v_dest_item );
END LOOP;
END;

Displaying a matrix onto screen

hi guys, i'm trying to make a game. i'm going to load a two dimensional array with images and then display the whole matrix onto the screen and then add stuff to it like mouselistener.
static Object image[][] = new Object[300][300];
i only have a frame now. Can anyone teach me how to display the matrix?

If you know the 2D API, full screen mode only involves a few more method calls, and a switch to active rendering:
