Get line width?

I would like to place a logotype to the right of the first lines text, where the X is:
Lorem ipsum X
dolor sit amet
Is it posible without copying the text to a box and resize it and check the box size?

horizontalOffset is your friend here. Use in conjuction with baseline to get the position of any character:
alert (app.selection[0].insertionPoints[-1].horizontalOffset + " "+app.selection[0].insertionPoints[-1].baseline);
(Click the text cursor anywhere in the text to see the result.)
You can read these properties for any text position "the usual way", i.e., referring to lines, words, and characters:
alert (app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].lines[0].characters[-1].horizontalOffset);
for example.
(I'm omitting Javascript formatting here because man! what's up with those scroll bars!?)

Hi,
What ever text you are sending in the email, create a standard text for it using tcode SO10. In the program use the FM READ_TEXT to get the data into internal table which will be of length 132 char. If you want line widht of 255 chars convert using FM SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE as below,
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      line_width_dst              = '255'
    TABLES
      content_in                  = it_data
      content_out                 = it_mess_att
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_line_width_src_too_long = 1
      err_line_width_dst_too_long = 2
      err_conv_failed             = 3
      OTHERS                      = 4.
Use FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send email.
Hope this will help you.

Line width on framemaker table

hi there... i've got an issue on generated the framemaker9 - pdf.
First, After generated to pdf, the table line width looks like not consistent. There are some thin and thick.. how must i do to get the table look nice with the all line is thin...
procedure that i use to build the table is ------> Custom ruling and shading - choose from table (apply ruling style)
Second - what is the difference between click or not at convert CMYK to RGB at settings in PDF Setup ? What exactly the function of convert CMYK to RGB ?

Sha,
If you have two separate questions, please create two posts. (Converting CMYK to RGB is the default behaviour of all previous versions of FrameMaker on Windows. Switching off this conversion is supposed to pass through the CMYK data when saving as PDF. Whether you need this or whether it works completely as you need it, you have to test.)
Regarding line widths: Have you printed the page?
Assuming your line with is set to be 0.5pt. With 72pt/inch and 25.4mm/inch you get a theoretical line width of 0.1764mm.
Your screen has a resolution of maybe 96ppi (pixel per inch) so each pixel has a width of 0.2645mm. You can see that with pixels so wide, you can not successfully show 0.1764mm in 100% zoom size. The software (e.g. Adobe Reader) tries its best, but sometimes fails. The human eye is very good at detecting patterns and recognizes even slight changes inside a pattern very easily.
Your printer may have a resolution of 600dpi (dot per inch) so each dot is as tiny as 0.0423mm. This time the printer may use about 4 dots to create the 0.5pt line, with a 1200dpi printer it could be 8 dots.
So in the end what you see is just a technological limitation. If the so-called "Retina" display makes its way into mass market with >300ppi resolution those effects will fade away...

Changing line width for more than 5 chart series - Interactive Mode

Hi,
Re: BI Publisher 11.1.1.6.0, Interactive Reports
I have a number of charts with a dynamic number of series based on the number of devices, cpus, network interfaces etc. on a particular system. Is it possible to change the line width for all series? I can change it for the first 5 series as per "Chart Plot Area" properties "Series[1-5] Line Width", however any subsequent series retain the default width.
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Hello,
Which version of APEX are you using?
Go to your Flash Chart attributes - get into your series (click the icon) in the section of Series Query you'll find the maximum rows.

Line width question; Freehand MX

Is it possible to change the line width of all lines in a
document?
I go to Edit > Select > All In Document.
I go to the Properties box and on the Object tab I try to
click Stroke.---, but it is not active.
Thanks for the help.

First, let's get the terminology straight. Strokes (not
lines) can be
applied to paths.
Find & Replace Stroke Width will only replace stroke
widths on objects that
are already stroked. It won't add strokes to non-stroked
objects.
A Hairline stroke is 0.25 pt. wide. If you selected Hairline
as the low end
of the selection range, then strokes smaller than 0.25 pt.
will not be
affected.
Compared with FH9, FHMX adds group-level attributes, so to
stroke every
object at the path level, you will need to Select All and
then Subselect
until you have reached the path level. I have set up a custom
keyboard
shortcut for Edit>Select>Subselect. That allows me to
drill down below group
level.
FH users also need to be aware that groups that have been
scaled after
'Transform as Unit' (TAU) is applied will scale the strokes
according to the
subsequent transformations. If you have unwittingly applied
TAU to groups
you may not see the changes you expect from Find &
Replace Stroke width. I
have unchecked the preference "Groups Transform as Unit by
Default' and use
the Transform as Unit checkbox in the object panel only when
required.

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 :)

Measuring Line Width Of Composed Text

Hi,
In the solutions.pdf of the CS4 SDK, there is a piece of code listed in example 9 that will estimate the width of the text. I tried implementing it as a snippet but upon compiling the code in xcode, I get an invalid static_cast from type IFontInstance* to type const IPMUnknown* that originate from the line of code InterfacePtr<IFontInstance> fontInstance(nil).
I haven't changed any part of the code, and I don't think adobe would post examples of non-working code on a document named solutions.pdf , so I'm betting that I missing something here but I can't figured out what... any hints is highly appreciated... thanks!
-- Jeff

To procede, omit the "(nil)" argument and you should be fine for that line, or specialize the method in question.
I tried this, but I got error messages pointing to a function that uses the fontInstance pointer. The function is in the form of:
EstimateStringWidth(WideString run, IFontInstance* fontInstance)
and the error tells me that the line:
totalWidth += EstimateStringWidth(charBuff, fontInstance);
has no matching function.
Also, most of the samples in the SDK creates a IFontInstance using an InterfacePtr.
I tried this approach because solutions.pdf suggests this method to estimate text widths... I want to measure the text width of a composed line to determine the raggedness (degree of whitespace left on the end of each line) of a paragraph. But with this issues, am I better off using the GetWidth method of IWaxLine to get the width.
Now, my next question would be, can I get the estimate width of the line if I change the properties of the paragraph, ie. justification settings, without actually composing the text in the ui. I need this so that I can compute for the optimal settings to changed so that the degree of raggedness of the paragraph would be less than the original.
Thanks again!

Report Text line width

Is there a way to set the text line width on a report to 80 characters and then have it wrap to the next line. I'm getting very long cells that I have to scroll over with the arrow key to see the text past my screen size.

Any one know the HTML command to set text line size?

Change line width in Apple Mail?

Is there a way I can change the line width in the e-mails I write? Maybe a plug-in?

Bump.
Are these phantom extra line breaks and vanishing line breaks not occurring to anyone else?
In Mail Preferences > Composing > Responding > Quote the text of the original message
...I tried disabling (unchecking) it, but it doesn't make much difference. Again, the problems occur in the body of a
Message > Reply
...not a newly-created message. I've even pasted the body text into TextWrangler and done a "Zap Gremlins" and "Remove Line Breaks," but after I paste it back into Mail and reset my line breaks like I want, I still get extra and/or removed line endings when I review my sent message.

Any way to set line width on outgoing (text) messages?

My messages to a mailing list (and probably elsewhere) sometimes get chopped up by the addition of extra returns, so they're hard to read by the recipient (we've all seen this, especially on messages forwarded several times). I always send text-only email. A correspondent suggest setting my outgoing message line width down to 60 characters to avoid this, but I can't find anywhere in Mail's preferences to do this (I seem to remember such a setting on another email client years ago). I'm embarrassed to report back to my Windows-using correspondent that Apple Mail doesn't offer this option. Can anyone tell me it does, and where?

No, I'm not putting in any extra returns. I seem to remember this from back in the 90s: that some points in the Internet's email system allow lines of only 60 characters' length, so if your message arrives with 72 character (or longer) lines, it'll get all chopped up; and the solution is to set your email client to produce only 60-character lines. But I can't find any way to do this in Mail.

Rotating line width

A tangental question to the arrow issue previously posted. I tagged this question to the end of the other thread but it may have gotten lost.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnRZn_p8MFk
In the example I gave the arrow thickness was only in the vertical plane. I have been playing with this and can't seem to figure out how to get the width to be horizontal.
I've tried making the line straight, add the width, then rotate the line in X, but then I can't get it to curve.
I changed the Brush Type to Airbrush and by turning on Local 3D and I can make the Line "tubular" but I can't get the ribbon look I've trying to achieve.
I just wish it was a simple as just being able to rotate the line thickness.

If you're referring to the manner in which the line/arrow curves (on the edge vs on the flat side), then you've discovered a fundamental problem with the line due to the fact that it's a 2D element and not a 3D element.
The only real way to get a line to bend along its spine is to use a 3D replicator using a thin rectangle as the source. Replicators can be 3D and can be positioned in such a way to mimic a 3D line. However, you'd have to attach arrows manually, and then animating it is a whole other can o'worms. Not to mention the fact that you'd have to create a lot of replicates for even a single line which will significantly drive down performance.

Changine line widths in multi page reports?

I need to be able to change line widths on a "per channel basis" within a multi page report. Is there a script that I can use to do this?

Hey Zilla,
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do but I've written a short example that hopefully does something similar. It may not be the most efficient example but it should get you started. I assumed that by line width you're referring to the width of a plot on a graph in DIAdem Report. The following code changes the width of three plots on two graphs each on different sheets. The code is pasted below. I'm attaching the report template I used. It uses the default DIAdem dataset. If you have a different report the object names may be different. (The report template was created in DIAdem 9.1)
Call GraphSheetNGet(2)
Call GraphSheetRefSet(GraphSheetName)
Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DAxis1")
for i=1 to 3
Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DObj1_Curve" + s
tr(i))
D2CURVELINEWIDTH ="35.0"
Call GRAPHObjClose("2DObj1_Curve" + str(i))
next
Call GRAPHObjClose("2DAxis1")
Call GraphSheetNGet(1)
Call GraphSheetRefSet(GraphSheetName)
Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DAxis1")
for i=1 to 3
Call GRAPHObjOpen("2DObj2_Curve" + str(i))
D2CURVELINEWIDTH ="35.0"
Call GRAPHObjClose("2DObj2_Curve" + str(i))
next
Call GRAPHObjClose("2DAxis1")
Call Picupdate
I hope this helps!! If this isn't what you're trying to do please post back with more information so I can try to help.

Chart Lines Dissapearing When Line Width Less than .38pt

I have a Line Chart with about 70 different series. As you can imagine, it gets pretty crowded. In SQL server 2005, I was able to set the line width to .25pt, but when I try to do the same in 2012, the lines disappear! The smallest line width that I can
get to show up is .38.....If anyone out there knows why this happens, I would really appreciate a hint. I've tried everything from messing with the markers to the empty point settings...
Thanks

Hi Scott,
I am able to reproduce your scenario that when the line width with less than or equal to 0.375pt, they will all disappear in the line chart in my test environment. Based on my research, it seems to be the particular render extensions which cannot display
the narrow lines in line chart. However, if we export the report into PDF, the all lines which narrow than 0.375pt will appear in the report. I think this is by design.

How can I create a line width 0 when using a line style other than solid?

Every time I select a line style other than solid,
the line width gets reset to 0. This makes for a
VERY faint line on the printed output.

If this question is for the HiQ box, this is not a product that is supported by general technical support Applications Engineers any longer. The help for HiQ is exclusively online, and can be found at http://www.ni.com/support/hiqsupp.htm
Of course, this question can still be answered by other HiQ users that visit this forum. Please post back if you have any questions. Thanks, and have a great day.

Reports Builder: line width of a graphic and generated PDF

Hello,
I change the line width of a graphic but in the generated pdf the line width remains equal.
Some pics:
The graphic in Reports Builder:
!http://i25.tinypic.com/20famuu.jpg!
The xml code:
<SeriesItems>
<Series id="0" markerType="MT_BAR" borderTransparent="true" transparent="true"/>
<Series id="1" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#101df" lineWidth="9"/>
<Series id="2" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#101df" lineStyle="LS_DASH" lineWidth="9"/>
<Series id="3" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#b4045f" lineWidth="1"/>
<Series id="4" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#b4045f" lineStyle="LS_DASH" lineWidth="1"/>
<Series id="5" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#0" lineWidth="9"/>
<Series id="6" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#0" lineStyle="LS_DASH" lineWidth="1"/>
</SeriesItems>
The graphic in the PDF report:

Why in the PDF report the size is different?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english...

To procede, omit the "(nil)" argument and you should be fine for that line, or specialize the method in question.
I tried this, but I got error messages pointing to a function that uses the fontInstance pointer. The function is in the form of:
EstimateStringWidth(WideString run, IFontInstance* fontInstance)
and the error tells me that the line:
totalWidth += EstimateStringWidth(charBuff, fontInstance);
has no matching function.
Also, most of the samples in the SDK creates a IFontInstance using an InterfacePtr.
I tried this approach because solutions.pdf suggests this method to estimate text widths... I want to measure the text width of a composed line to determine the raggedness (degree of whitespace left on the end of each line) of a paragraph. But with this issues, am I better off using the GetWidth method of IWaxLine to get the width.
Now, my next question would be, can I get the estimate width of the line if I change the properties of the paragraph, ie. justification settings, without actually composing the text in the ui. I need this so that I can compute for the optimal settings to changed so that the degree of raggedness of the paragraph would be less than the original.
Thanks again!
