Forte graphics libraries.

Hello,
I have a question that maybe someone can answer. Are there any
commercial graphics libraries available for Forte?
I know that in theory you can use OCXs, but the ones that we have do
not work reliably with forte. I would be interested in hearing about
OCXs that are known to work with Forte.
Specifically we are looking for scheduling related widgets,
calendars, gantt charts and bar charts.
I already know about Brahma Software's OCX library and the calendar
shareware file under the forte tech support pages.
Thanks,
Dale

Russ,
To clarify... FORTify Beacon, Brahma's business graphics library, is not
an OCX. It is a TOOL-based library supported on all Forte-supported
platforms. Thus, it resides in the development repository, is treated as any
other supplier plan, and may be deployed using Forte's built-in
capabilities.
FORTify Activate, another product in the FORTify suite, is a pre-wrappered
set of ActiveX controls. This may have been the source of the confusion.
Thanks,

Dale,
One thing you need to know about OCX's and Forte. To work properly they
should not have nested interfaces, i.e. OCX's imbedded within
themselves, and they need to follow Microsoft's apartment model
threading. Version 4.0 of Forte might loosen these requirements but for
now, they apply. I was not aware that Brahma's Business graphics
implementation was via an OCX, that stinks.

Hi Dan,
I am curious about how you are using the ImageData graphics. If you are
using them as static, graphical window elements, then ImageData is probably
appropriate. However, if your intention is to read in, display, or
manipulate various images, then we may have a better solution for you. I
try not to use this forum to blatantly advertise our product, so I will
send you more detail privately. However, anyone else who wants to know
more about our Imaging Developer products can contact me directly, or check
out our web site at http://www.msfw.com
I am also happy to answer questions about imaging solutions in general.

Ruby graphics libraries / toolkits

So apart from Ruby GTK, what is available out there? Googling has been shockingly uninformative, as has the ruby homepage. :?

meh, it's the wording that affects the number of results - i tried 'ruby graphics toolkit' and 'ruby graphical libraries', and got no results apart from GTK.

Graphics libraries

I know that within the Java SDK there is an extensive ability to create 2D and 3D graphics for use in an application. However, what is the situation with 3rd part libraries (e.g. specifically looking at Open Inventor from numerical algorithms group). Is it easy to use these libraries within swing or other GUI API? For instance, from my limited knowledge so far I would envisgae creating some sort of 'pane' in which I could then simply paint a chart/graph that I'd created with the NAG library. Is it this easy or much more involved? To what extent are libraries compatible? As you can see I at a fairly basic level here so any help much appreciated.
Cheers

I went to google and typed in 'turtle graphics'. I got many links, but this may be what you want:

I should add, I've never heard of Turtle Graphics before.

Xinerama makes graphic libraries crash

So I was updating my system a little more than a week ago, and now I have a problem starting X, kdm, and most graphical environements.
I think it might be the latest nvidia drivers that are responsible? or the nvidia-libgl libraries?
I get the following errors in dmesg attempting to start kde and subtle respectively:
drkonqi[371]: segfault at 18 ip 00007fca6c8173dc sp 00007fffab071c80 error 4 in libQtGui.so.4.8.4
xterm[459]: segfault at 8 ip 00007ff121ef1080 sp 00007fff6d1efad8 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0
the following link suggested that disabling xinerama evades the problem, but for me it is not a solution.
I downgraded a bunch of packages in an attempt to pin-point the responsible one, but there are so many interdependencies it was a mess. so im back at the faulty stage with xinerama disabled.
Any ideas on who's responsible for the crash and solutions?
thanks

I downgraded some packages on the fresh install, and indeed with nvidia-313.30 I have no problems with Xinerama enabled.
So it seems the problem is introduced with nvidia driver 319.17.
My test system is running fine with:
- linux-3.8.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
- nvidia-313.30-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
- nvidia-utils-313.30-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
- nvidia-libgl-313.30-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
For further debugging note that a downgrade of nvidia-libgl-319 was not explicitly forced, and that X was successfully started, not complaining with any of the above mentioned errors. It did complain, unsurprisingly, about a missing library file, so downgrade to 313 resolved this.
So I would say that the 'bug' is likely in the nvidia and nvidia-utils package, with the former being the most likely.
I'm not sure how I should proceed, and if I should file a bug with nvidia??
I wonder how exactly I should do that.

What graphics libraries will iPhone support

Hi, I'm tasked with adding Cocoa support to our static library. This library will need to be able to draw textures (frame by frame output from a webcam to be exact).
My question is, which graphics library should I be using? Is there one that will work for both?
Simplified, which graphics library can I use that will draw on both Cocoa applications AND iPhone applications? NSOpenGL? Core Graphics Library?
Thanks

straight from the Apple web site:
"Quartz is a powerful 2D drawing engine for creating vector graphics, bitmap images, and PDF content. Core Animation is the technology that adds smooth motion and dynamic feedback to your user interface by creating an illusion of motion. OpenGL ES is the interface for high-performance 3D graphics on mobile devices."
It sounds like Quartz might be the way to go. The thing (that I'm hoping that I can take advantage of) is that our library already supports Apple Graphics Library for Carbon. Would this be a quicker way to do this (by modifying the AGL code)?

Executing c graphics programs in Terminal

the following prgm has been written in the vi editor...it has been named hello.cpp
#include<iostream>
#include<graphics>
int main(void)
int gd = DETECT, gm;
initgraph(&gd, &gm, "");
line(0, 0, 100, 100);
closegraph();
the errors are as follows:
g++ hello.cpp -o hello
hello.cpp:2:19: error: graphics: No such file or directory
hello.cpp: In function 'int main()':
hello.cpp:5: error: 'DETECT' was not declared in this scope
hello.cpp:6: error: 'initgraph' was not declared in this scope
hello.cpp:7: error: 'line' was not declared in this scope
hello.cpp:8: error: 'closegraph' was not declared in this scope
kindly assist...

So how about a little web searching? I'll get started for you...
For example:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/architecture/index.html
Which led to this:
http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/
The initial search also indicated some third party graphics libraries for OS X, for example, http://www.macobserver.com/article/2007/08/20.13.shtml
Good luck!

Forte XML interface

Hi Everyone,
We are looking at interfacing our Forte4GL application to an external
application on a remote machine via XML. It will be a simple request
response protocol.
I have looked an XML example that came with Forte but there isn't too much
documentation. I know that it is possible to open a raw TCP/IP socket where
we would have to implement the XML protocol, but I am sure there must be an
easier way.
Has anyone done developments using XML ?
If you wouldn't mind giving me a few pointers or some good advice I would
really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hello Rob,
the next Forte 4GL Release will have some functions to export a forte service as SOAP XML Service.
With Forte 3.5.2 i developed some XML-Applications based on the Forte-XML-Libraries. Besides i wrote a little example HTTP Service, which you can use to handle xml-messages.
Just send me email and i will provide you with more information.

How to model 3 dim structures (no graphical stuff)

Hi all,
I am in search for an API that allows to model simple 3d structures like cubes, balls etc.
I need to model the structures and ask questions like "what object is at point (x, y, z)?" or "what objects are intersected by a line y=mx+c?".
I have no need to visualize them.
So here is my question: Does anyone kow about a library that deals with operations like those?
Or does anyone know how I call this functinoality? Any search for 3 dimensional modeling leads to graphical libraries - what I do not need. If there is no such library, can anyone lead me to some information to the theoretical basics for this operations?
Thanks a lot,
Clemens

Sounds like you want a scene graph. Scene graphs are usually used in 3d graphics, but you should have no problem using such a library without any graphics.

Cleanup of non-graphical Java Bean

I'm currently working on a non-graphical javabean that manages serial communications with a piece of our companies electronic hardware. One of the properties of the bean is "connected", and this property governs whether or not the bean has acquired control of the serial port.
The problem I have is that when the bean is deleted it remains connected to the serial port, blocking any other connections. I want to try to clean up properly but how can I do this? As far as I can tell non-graphical beans are given no notification that they have been removed from a page.
Note that I am reluctant to make this bean graphical. I want to reserve the possibility of using it on embedded devices that may not have access to graphical libraries such as awt or swing.
Chris.

A bean that is deleted is eventually garbage collected. So, an approach would be to override the finalize() method and put your serial port disconnecton code in that method.
Here is a trivial example:
public class MyBean {
   protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
      // put your code here to disconnect serial port.
      super.finalize();
      System.out.println("disposed");
   public static void main(String[] args){
      MyBean di = new MyBean();
      di= null;//delete the bean.
      System.gc();

Inherit from a graphical classe

Hi,
It seem to be impossible to create a new class who inherit from
a Forte graphical class (like ArrayField for example).
I'd like to add a new method to ArrayField so I imagine a
new class who inherit from ArrayField.
Does somebody knows if it is possible ?
Thanks by advance.

Java class names should start with an uppercase letter.... and should indicate the purpose of the class, that is to say, what it represents.
For example, the class that best describes the reason behind many postings here:
{color:#0000ff}http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/nio/charset/CoderMalfunctionError.html{color}
and the outcome of those postings:
{color:#0000ff}http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/nio/charset/CoderResult.html{color}

Graphics Engine

I would like to know wether one can develop a 3D graphics engine in JAVA. If so, what are the things I need to know before I can start trying to make one.
Thanking You in Advance
Lithuvien

Yes.
You should know:
1) it's a good educational experience, but there's a lot of annoying details in 3d graphics and if you'll be learning that a lot more than java. I hope you have a good textbook.
2) If you haven't done 3d graphics before, the first thing you should do is brush up on linear algebra.
3) Bugs are harder to squash than in other programming efforts, because so often the problems are only noticable when viewed and are hard to express in any way other than intuitively: "it looks wrong". It's hard to debug "it looks wrong".
4) there are existing 3d packages for java, etc. If you want to get cool graphics fast, you're probably better off learning those than making something yourself. And it'll look better on a resume if you know an established package.
5) nevertheless, it's really interesting. You can learn a lot. You can get crude but cool results quickly, but there are diminishing returns as you try to add more polish. It's a lot of effort to add even minor effects. There's a reason that there are armies of programmers developing the major 3d graphics libraries.
