Displaying (Chinese) Text Top to Bottom, Left to Right

I would like to display text vertically in a JTextArea starting from the top-left, going down in columns and continuing from left-to-right in Chinese like this:
G D A
H E B
I F C
I looked at the API description of the ComponentOrientation class, which at first seemed to indicate that this could be done but there isn't static constant "ComponentOrientation TOP_TO_BOTTOM" that can be used.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/ComponentOrientation.html
I tried setting the locale of the JTextArea to TRADITIONAL_CHINESE, CHINESE, CHINA, JAPANESE, but with no luck. The best I could get is text going from left to right in rows rather than columns.
Is it possible to (easily) do this or do I need to do something fancy.
Thanks in advance,
Puzzled.

The core i18n libraries and Swing do not support vertical writing at this time. However, this is not an unreasonable request for some scripts.

John O'Conner

  • How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns.

    How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns. Help please.

    If you look closely at the top of the canvas pane, as you move either of the boxes (green or red) there is an indication of pixel positions... "top, bottom, left, right," and "scale."
    Admittedly, it doesn't seem as if you can "enter" the dimensions with your keyboard, however, as you move the boxes, you have a real time indication of the boxs' locations.
    (I couldn't take a screen shot, as you have to actively move the box with a mouse or other input device... thus, I could not also take a screen shot with same device.)
    I hope this helps.

    Hello neelima,
    What kind of monitor are you using?
    Have you tried adjusting the monitor display? Usually on the bottom of monitors are keys to be able to shift the screen left / right, up / down.
    Have you tried resetting back to default settings?

  • Horizontal RSS feed- is it possible to create an RSS feed (showing both pictures and text), that scrolls from left to right rather than top to bottom?

    I am trying to create an RSS feed that will scroll from left to right rather than top to bottom as is standard in iWeb.  Ideally, I would like to show both images and text. I am actually using iWeb '09.  I am not opposed to writing html code if necessary.
    Thank you for your help!

    Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
    The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML
    html {
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: auto;

    Hi,

    I have changed all NLS_LANG registry entry to be AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII in all three my Windows 98/NT/2000 English PCs. The problem still can't be solved.... 8-(
    I uses Chinese Star to allow me to enter Chinese characters.
    Can someone enlight me on this issue?
    Thanks!

    Hi :
    1) change your NLS_LANG registry entry to be SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK
    2) open the Chinese Star
    3) run your application
    I think this will solve this problem.

  • How to number pages on bottom left and right corners

    Hi,
    i am creating a magazine and am trying to number the pages so the first page will have 'page 1' in the bottom left hand corner and the second will have it in the bottom right, i can get the numbering to work but they are all in the bottom left so on the opposite page the number is next to the spine (of the mag), i also need to miss out the front cover
    any help would be much appreciated
    richard

    In order to do mirrored layout elements you need to be sure that you've set up your document as facing pages. Put the page number markers on opposite corners on each page of the two-page master spread.

  • Certain websites display with text only all on left with no images. Ive followed help page troubleshooting tips. Help?

    I cannot seem to see certain websites "full" site. On Ebay...I only see text all piled up on left. If I click thru enough I can see an image but I want the full site. Not the second class citizen version. Also same with Netflix. Amazon is great. I've troubleshooted and cleared cookies and cache. I reset and now I'm using safe mode with add ons disabled but still nothing helps.
    BTW...I'm very untechnical. Im using a laptop with Windows Vista OS if that helps.
    Id also like to be able to use my amazon prime account to stream videos but naturally nothing shows up.
    Please help. SOS. : )

    Ebay website mostly works in flash.
    so you need to update your flash.
    soon this problem will be solved when they started using HTML5

  • Menu bar sometimes don't display chinese text when typing

    I regularly use Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0 to type chinese characters. But for some reason or another, FireFox's menu bar don't show what I'm typing until I'm done.
    That means, instead of seeing this...
    h
    hu
    hua
    huan
    huang

    I see...
    [blank]
    [blank]
    [blank]
    [blank]
    [blank]

    That means I've no idea what I'm typing until I hit the space bar. Microsoft IE8 doesn't have this issue.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    The status bar appears at the bottom corner of the page, covering up ongoing info at the bottom of my pogo game page. If I hover the cursor over top of it, it moves to the other bottom corner....very annoying to have it pop up like that.

  • Left Top and Bottom Corners get crumpled

    When I print with my 7210, the top and bottom left hand corners get all crumpled and this throws off the whole page.  In addition to the paper getting messed up with folded over corners, the print is going downhill.  That is to say, not level.
    Can anyne tell on what to do to fix this?
    It is about 4 yrs old and I am thinking about just going to buy a new one.
    Thoughts?

    I found the problem.
    I turned the machine off and removed the back panel.  There was a piece of paper wedged back there.  I wasily removed it and it works fine!
    Maybe this will help someone else!
