Envelope widths and centering

Hello, hoping someone has run into this issue before... I have an image of whats going on and can post more visuals if needed.
I have an automated situation where text in an envelope gets changed out depending on a list of names.
I modified my original font file to have some extra info so it doesn't drastically change when in the envelope with descender characters (g, j, y, cursive z, etc)
that worked well for me and allows longer names without too much altering by the envelope box.
My issue now is short names try to fill the ENTIRE envelope... which I get that its just how envelopes work
The problem is shorter names look 'ugly' at this size and only good for names with 4 letters or more
Is there any work around to this? like say scaling the 'width' of the envelope based on the name being 3 characters or less (Names like Sue, Joy, Ma)
It currently ignores any white-space/spacing unless it has a character...
Example 1: ' Ma ' = Ma
Example 2: '. Ma .' = . Ma .
I tried some clipping mask magic to no real scalable solution... only thing I can think is that the actual envelope shape needs to scale horizontally.
But I was getting some slight vertical shifting as well... If I leave out an envelope short names look fine but longer ones simply go wider than the art board/intended output size
So I'm thinking I need an envelope and it needs to handle both long/short names/words
Hoping someone has some options, tips to try out.
I am more than happy to elaborate in my workflow just didn't want too much up front.
Thank you!! I appreciate you taking the time to read/any help you may offer my way

Oh wow!
Never thought to add more layers into the envelope, just tried on my end in CC
Thank you very much! Fast reply even!!

Changing Width and Centering the Portal

Hello
I need to gain access to the container above the framework so that I can adjust the width of the portal and center it. How might I go about doing that?
Let me explain this request with an example. The following code is generated by the Light Framework.:
<body>

<table class="prtlHeaderCon" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>

</td>
</tr> 
</table>
There are two issues with this. First, the width is hardcoded into the table which is not ideal. We could override this using !important in a style sheet, but it doesn't solve all of the problems.
The second problem is that I can't stuff this table inside a div. If I could wrap it inside a div I could adjust the width to 960px and center the table using methods outlined here: http://theodorakis.net/tablecentertest.html
So, how might I end up doing this? My requirement is that the portal is centered in the page and fits a 1024px width browser
Thanks for your thoughts

Hi Mike!
SAP Help shows the way once it's working again:

Here's what you do to get new Layouts:
1. Deploy your com.mycompany.myproject.MyLayouts.par to your portal
2. Goto PCD and create a new Layout from your PAR (much like a new IView)
3. Important: On your newly created Layout set the property "is a Template" to true. Otherwise you cannot use it on pages
4. Create a new Page in PCD and assign your Layout to it.
5. Set the Page type to framework page
6. Assign your IViews to the framework page
7. Create or copy a new Portal Desktop and assign both your framework page and your portal theme
8. Change Master rules to assign Portal desktop to user groups.
Voilá.
For every step I took you should be able to find information about in the SDN/SAP Help. If you have any more questions, let me know.

Nested canvas in GridLayout can't get its width and height

Hello,
I have a class entitled DisplayCanvas, which will accept some parameters from an invocation in another class including a shape and message parameters. These parameters must be centered in the instance of DisplayCanvas.
For some reason, when I use this.getWidth() and this.getHeight() within my DisplayCanvas class, I get 0 and 0! I need the width and height in order to center the parameters the user will enter.
Why does the width and height result at 0? What can I do to get the width and height?
In my DisplayCanvas class notice the lines:
canWidth = this.getWidth();
canHeight = this.getHeight();
For some reason the result is 0 for each!

Sorry for glossing over your code sample, particularly as it looks like one of the best I've seen so far on the forums, but I'm pretty sure the answer you are looking for is as follows:
Java doesn't render a component until paint() is called so until then you are not going to have any size settings because the jvm simply doesn't know how big the visual component is. This makes sense when you think about what the jvm is doing. The layout manager controls the display of the components depending on the settings it is supplied. So until it knows how many components you want, where, what kind of spacing, etc, etc, etc, how can the size be determined.
The true cycle of events is therefore:
create an instance of DisplayCanvas,
add it to your container,
make the container visible (which renders the component),
get the size of the DisplayCanvas instance.
You are being hampered because your desired chain of events is:
create an instance of DisplayCanvas,
get the size of the DisplayCanvas instance,
add it to your container,
make the container visible.
This state of affairs is highly annoying and then leads to the next question "what do we do about that?". There is a cunning trick which is to get the jvm to render the component to an off-screen image, thus calculating the dimensions of the component so that you can do precisely the kind of enquiry on the object that you have been looking for. It should be noted that this may not be the visual size for all the reasons given above, but it is the "preferred size" for the component. Check the Swing tutorials and have a look at the section on Layout Managers for a run down on what that means.
Anyway, we can use this handy code sample to determine the preferred size for your component. Notice the call to "paint()" (normally you would never make a direct call to paint() in swing) and the "g.dispose()" to free resources:
package com.coda.swing.desktool.gui;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class PaintUtil
     public PaintUtil()
          super();
     public static Component paintBuffer(Component comp)
          Dimension size = comp.getPreferredSize();
          comp.setSize(size);
          BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
          Graphics2D g2 = img.createGraphics();
          comp.paint(g2);
          g2.dispose();
          return comp;
}Before you make a call to getWidth() or getHeight() put in a call to "PaintUtil.paintBuffer(this);" and see what happens.
By the way, I can't claim credit for this code ... and I really wish I could remember where I got it from myself so I can thank them :)

Aligning two divs and centering them.

so i am running into one main issue with my website. As of now the only two things on my site are a gray image and an image slider. I managed to get them into the same div and next to each other but i need them to both be static and centered by the webpage. I have put them into the same div with class="col-xs-6" and what you see happened. I know that my slider is responsive. They basically need to be next to each other and centered. I am new at making websites but this would help me a lot.
My site: http://rootforsite.azurewebsites.net/ (f12 for code)
I just need them next to each other and centered. Any thoughts?

How to change the width and height of the visible part of the of the report

I have define a report with paper size 'Letter', orientation 'landscape' and 30 columns. Dynamically I am changing width of columns and suppressing many columns of the report.
Mostly using first 16-20 columns and others get suppressed.
Now problem is that when navigating the report thru crystal viewer, a huge blank spaces getting display on right of the report. When we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and only blank part is visible and it is required to scroll left.
Even printing is not working correctly.
Is there any way to change the width and height of the visible part of the report in the viewer thru .net classes? Setting the width and height of the report in Load event handler doesn't help.
Example: CrystalReportViewer1.Width = 200; - is not helping.
Is there any other solution?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi Yogesh,
Your suggestion 'reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize=PaperSize.PaperLedger;' along with 'PaperOrientation' setting as follow works fine. I tried to switch between Landscape and Portrait depending on report width.
reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
But problem with crystal viewer remain as it is.
While navigating report thru crystal viewer, when we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and it is required to scroll left.
Thanks for your very good suggestion.

How to create a map that is larger than the game in width and height?

hi,
i wounder how i can create a map(not the design) that is larger than the game in width and height, part of it will appear in the main page and anther part you can move to it after you press the arrow symbol, but the map is just one image so i want put it in line and out line the game page, and the out line part includes buttons and symbols the player can use, but it will be in line and the other part will be out line when you press the left arrow or the down arrow, how i can do that?
and is that possible to animate it so when the player press the arrow, will give it action to start the animation in one sec, i know how to animate it if that possible but i don't know which code i will use for the mouse click with the arrow symbol, and how to use the same code in the same symbol to start anther animation depending on which part of the map is on?

I don't know a lot about mask and masked layers and how to work with the normal layers beside i will use some 3D graphics but not in the background, i will explain all this to you to be more clearly.
first i am using action script 3.0
close ex,
you have 2d map"image" 900*300 pixel.
this image contains some 2d symbols when you click will go to anther normal map (anther normal layer) so they must appear.
your game 320*320 px, and the place the map will show on 300*300, and there's basics objects will be in most pages including the page that show the map so i don't know a lot about how this will work with mask layers.
so you can only see the left side of the map image and what it contains, while there's two arrows one to the left and one to the right there's three cases here,
first when it show the left side(start from x:0 to x:300), the left arrow will not active when you press and the right arrow will start an animation that make the map image move to the mid side in one sec when you press.
in mid side (start from x:301 to x:600) the same left arrow will active when you press to send you back to the left side while the same right arrow will be active to send you not to the mid side but to the right side,
when moved to the right side the same left arrow will be active to send you to the mid and the right will not active when you press and depending on that,
first how to make the large image appear with the three sides in the same place without effecting the other objects "like disappearing them" ?
and the codes i need in the same left or right arrow symbol to make different actions with the same symbol when clicked depending on which part of the map is on.

CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.

Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again.

I need to write a Java script to make my Art board bigger by 1 (one) inch on the Width and Length, Regardless of the Content?

Hi,
I am currently using "Visible bounds" (java script)to add 1 inch to the width and to the Length of my Art board, but when i make a clipping mask it actually reads the hidden content from the Clipping mask and makes conforms my art board to that particular shape. Am using Adobe illustrator cs6 Here is My Code:
var myDocs = app.documents;
var i = 0;
for (i = myDocs.length-1 ; i >= 0; i--)
    var doc = myDocs[i];
    app.activeDocument= doc;
    var myVisibleBounds = doc.visibleBounds; //Rect, which is an array;
    myVisibleBounds[0] -= 36;
    myVisibleBounds[1] += 36;
    myVisibleBounds[2] += 36;
    myVisibleBounds[3] -= 36;
    doc.artboards[0].artboardRect = myVisibleBounds;
All i Want is to add 1 inch to my width and length and this does it but if i have a clipping mask it will pick up the bounding box i guess? and it will conform it to the shape... any help please... Try my code and you will see that it does add 1 inch but now make you artboard lest say 12" x 12" and make a shape bigger than the art board and you will see how it adds 1 inch to the art board based on that shape... now if you make a clipping mask to fit that shape in the 12" x 12" art board you will still get 1 inch bigger than the shape thats being clipped ...

yes, visible bounds is reading the non-visible masked objects too.
you're going to have to do it the hard way, loop through all your objects to get your bounds manually, and while you're at it, test for clipping masks and use the masking path instead.

Java returning incorrect values for width and height of a Tiff image

I have some TIFF images (sorry, I cannot post them b/c of there confidential nature) that are returning the incorrect values for the width and height. I am using Image.getWidth(null) and have tried the relevant methods from BufferedImage. When I open the same files in external viewers (Irfanview, MS Office Document Imaging) they look fine and report the "correct" dimensions. When I re-save the files, my code works fine. Obviously, there is something wrong with the files, but why would the Java code fail and not the external viewers? Is there some way I can detect file problems?
Here is the code, the relevant section is in the print() routine.

Figured it out. The files have a different vertical and horizontal resolutions. In this case the horizontal resolution is 200 DPI and the vertical is 100 DPI. The imgage width and height values are based on those resolution values. I wrote a section of code to take care of the problem (at least for TIFF 6.0)
   private void setPageSize(int pageNum) throws IOException
      IIOMetadata imageMetadata = _reader.getImageMetadata(pageNum);
      //Get the IFD (Image File Directory) which is the root of all the tags
      //for this image. From here we can get all the tags in the image.
      TIFFDirectory ifd = TIFFDirectory.createFromMetadata(imageMetadata);
      double xPixles = ifd.getTIFFField(256).getAsDouble(0);
      double yPixles = ifd.getTIFFField(257).getAsDouble(0);
      double xRes = ifd.getTIFFField(282).getAsDouble(0);
      double yres = ifd.getTIFFField(283).getAsDouble(0);
      int resUnits = ifd.getTIFFField(296).getAsInt(0);
      double imageWidth = xPixles / xRes;
      double imageHeight = yPixles / yres;
      //if units are in CM convert ot inches
      if (resUnits == 3)
         imageWidth = imageWidth * 0.3937;
         imageHeight = imageHeight * 0.3937;
      //convert to pixles in 72 DPI
      imageWidth = imageWidth * 72;
      imageHeight = imageHeight * 72;
      setImgWidth((int) Math.round(imageWidth));
      setImgHeight((int) Math.round(imageHeight));
      setImgAspectRatio(imageWidth / imageHeight);
   }

What are the units of "Width" and "Height" of a Shape?

What are the units of "Width" and "Height" properties of a Shape when programming?
Something odd like points or twips or tweedles or nibbles?
http://www.ransen.com Cad and Graphics software

Width and Height are properties of type Single; they represent the dimensions of the shape in points, where 72 points = 1 inch.

Finding the width and height of an image

Hi...
i have a path to an image "images/me.gif" and i'm trying to find its width and height.. am trying to use javax.swing.ImageIcon but it refuses to recognise the constructor with just the filename (string) parameter, and needs a URL to the file... anyone knows what i'm doing wrong??? is this the wrong class that i'm using...!??!?!?!?!?

String filename = "images/me.gif";
Image myImage = carregarImagem(filename);
System.out.println(myImage.getWidth(this));
System.out.println(myImage.getHeight(this));

Switching from delimited to fixed width and had to retype 115 column names

Hi we run 2012 enterprise. I just changed a delimited flat file over to fixed width and had to retype all 115 column names. Is there a way to preserve at least some of what ssis already knows (eg col names) in the flat file connection when
this kind of changeover is occuring?

Thx Mike. I appreciate your help so dont take this the wrong way.
Lets be honest. This kind of behavior and some of the others I've posted recently when it comes to switching in and amongst flat file formats (fixed,unicode,unnecessary data type conversion etc etc) in ssis cannot possibly be by "design".
You might think I'm arrogant but hear me out.  As a graduate from one of the better engineering schools in the US and having earned a BSCS from that school, my thinking is that even a first year college student would design this little part of
ssis in a more flexible fashion. And the sad part is that legacy mainframe technologies from way way back baked this kind of flexibility into their products without add ins.  SSIS is purportedly .net technology and as such should follow the
most fundamental rules of OO which include flexibility and reusability.
We should be more careful about the term "by design". I believe this is actually a limitation which I'm sure would have been dealt with had there been more time, money and experience invested. One of my other posts cites a recommendation (from
ssis) that displays along with one of these flat file errors and has something to do with dt_ntext. But the recommendation actually doesnt work. So are we going to say that a recommendation that doesnt work is also by design? I dont think
so. By design infers "for valid reasons".   And I dont believe there are any valid reasons for this/these behaviors.   If there are , pls share.

Prob with fixed column widths and word wrapping in viewer

i have a report where each record has a very long paragraph of text in it.
In desktop and plus, the text column is at a fixed width and the text just wraps nicely according to the column width.
But in Viewer, the column widths do not stay fixed, the text does not wrap, and the long text is displayed in a single line that completely stretches the column width off the page and requires a horizontal scroll bar.
is there anyway to fix the column width in viewer, have the text naturally wrap, and prevent the column stretching. All word wrapping settings are on, but seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find any solution to this.
Thanks...

Hi Pritam,
Per my understanding that you can't see the vertical scrollbar of the ReportViewer controls 2012 to scroll for the grid rows, but can see the vertical scrollbar of the web application, you also can't fix the headers while scrolling, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce your issue, but you have an alternative way to add some css to the web form's source code to display the vertical scrollbar.
Details information below for your reference:
Please check below properties setting of the reportviewer which control the visibility of the scrollbar:
AsyncRendering="true"
SizeToReportContent="false"
Please check if this problem also occur on other version of IE and other type of browser.
Please check if you have done correct setting of the Fix data to freeze the table header as the step of below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934257(v=sql.100).aspx
If step1 doesn't work, please click the source of webform.aspx and add below CSS to add the vertical scrollbar manually:
#ReportViewer1 {
overflow-y: scroll;
Run the application you will see it display as below:
Similar thread for your reference:

If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Current page (not Document) width and height with JSX

Hi,
I am trying to create a script that saves every page of the document and add its width and height to the name.
So far I managed to get the dimensions of the document using:
app.activeDocument.pages.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
app.activeDocument.pages.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
That's ok when all the pages in the document have the same dimensions (Document Preferences).
However, when I use custom pages that does not work.
I tried the code below but does not work either.
for(i=0; i<nb;i++)
     app.activeDocument.pages[i].documentPreferences.pageWidth;
     app.activeDocument.pages[i].documentPreferences.pageHeight;
I have done some research and I don't seem to find any information regarding custom pages dimensions.
Can you please help with this?
Thanks in advance,
Isko

Main();
function Main() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument,
    pages = doc.pages,
    page, width, height;
    for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
        page = pages[i];
        width = page.bounds[3] - page.bounds[1];
        height = page.bounds[2] - page.bounds[0];
        $.writeln("Page: " + page.name + " - " + "width = " + width + ", height = " + height);

When i open a new document, my "width" and "lenght" add two zeros automatically to file size??? For example basic A4 size in mm is 210 00mm x 297 00mm? And i can´t do nothing about it! Why on earth?

This "error note" must have something to do about it?

elppaelo,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
