Hi Vic,
A: Support for advanced graphics operations such as path for curvers and lines, alpha blending, antialiasing, patterns and transformations was added to SWT 3.1. On Windows, GDI+ is required. On X Windows platforms (i.e. GTK and Motif), Cairo 0.4.0 is required. If your Windows platform does not have GDI+ by default then you can download a redistributable package from Microsoft.
Source: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#nographicslibrary
It looks like your OS is missing the GDI+ library which can be obtained via the SWT site (see link above).
Best regards,
Martin

What might be the problem?
My work is stopped here.
Please help me out so that i can restore my work.
FYI:I have installed the NWDS again on my system but still i am unable to get the same.Versions are the same.
Thanks and regards,
Chandrashekar.

Options you have
- Delete the .metadata folder and restart NWDS (you will lose all your settings!)
- Try a recent JDK; 1.4.2_04 is really old!
- Install from the DVD
- If you downloaded the install, extract it to the root of one of your disks, not some subdirectory and install from there.

Hi nayab,
                 Ur workspace metadata seems to be corrupted. Go to ur workspace. rename .metadata folder & open the NWDS. It will not show ur previous configuration so u have to import the Development configuration again. In case ur any activity is open, it will come back when u import the Development Configuration.
regards
Sumit

Hi Suresh,
I have done what you have said and now its working fine.
But,
As i installed NWDS again i need to get back my Project(DC) in the NWDS.
How can this be done?
I had tried several options and i was fortunate enough to get back my Project but I am unable to Check-Out Source in the NWDS,thus i am struck here as i cannot further proceed to go on with my Work.
Please help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Chandrashekar.

The cropping works great, the issue that I am having is the background color that i specify in the drawImage function of Graphics is not working correctly, it defaults to black as the background regardless of what I supply (in this case Color.WHITE). Also, the overlaying image or top most image (comes from a file) is being inverted(i think it is) or otherwise discolored. Here is the code below that I am working with:
Thanks,
Sam
               public void Crop(int Height, int Width, int SourceX, int SourceY) throws Exception {
                    //output height and width
                    int OutputWidth = this.OutputImage.getWidth();
                    int OutputHeight = this.OutputImage.getHeight();
                    //create output streams
                    ByteArrayOutputStream MyByteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    MemoryCacheImageOutputStream MyMemoryCacheImageOutputStream = new MemoryCacheImageOutputStream(MyByteArrayOutputStream);
                    //Create a new BufferedImage
                    BufferedImage NewImage = new BufferedImage(Width, Height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
                    Graphics MyGraphics = NewImage.createGraphics();
                    MyGraphics.drawImage(this.OutputImage, -SourceX, -SourceY, OutputWidth, OutputHeight, Color.WHITE, null);
                    // Get Writer and set compression
                    Iterator MyIterator = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("PNG");
                    if(MyIterator.hasNext()) {
                         //get image writer
                         ImageWriter MyImageWriter = (ImageWriter)MyIterator.next();
                         //get params
                         ImageWriteParam MyImageWriteParam = MyImageWriter.getDefaultWriteParam();
                         //set outputstream
                         MyImageWriter.setOutput(MyMemoryCacheImageOutputStream);
                         //create new ioimage
                         IIOImage MyIIOImage = new IIOImage(NewImage, null, null);
                         //write new image
                         MyImageWriter.write(null, MyIIOImage, MyImageWriteParam);
                    //convert output stream back to inputstream
                    ByteArrayInputStream MyByteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(MyByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray());
                    MemoryCacheImageInputStream MyMemoryCacheImageInputStream = new MemoryCacheImageInputStream(MyByteArrayInputStream);
                    //resassign as a buffered image
                    this.OutputImage = ImageIO.read(MyMemoryCacheImageInputStream);
               }

Thanks for all your help!
Here is the solution, notice the clear rect:
               public void Crop(int Height, int Width, int SourceX, int SourceY) throws Exception {
                    //output height and width
                    int OutputWidth = this.OutputImage.getWidth();
                    int OutputHeight = this.OutputImage.getHeight();
                    //Create a new BufferedImage
                    BufferedImage NewImage = new BufferedImage(Width, Height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
                    //create new grapics
                    Graphics2D MyGraphics = NewImage.createGraphics();
                    //set background
                    MyGraphics.setBackground(Color.decode(this.BackgroundColor));
                    //clear rect
                    MyGraphics.clearRect(0, 0, Width, Height);
                    //draw image
                    MyGraphics.drawImage(this.OutputImage, -SourceX, -SourceY, OutputWidth, OutputHeight, null, null);
                    //dispose graphics
                    MyGraphics.dispose();
                    //resassign as a buffered image
                    this.OutputImage = NewImage;
               }

Changeing Paint's Graphics outside paint

I have this code:
public void Paint (Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setTransform (t);
how can I access g2 from outside Paint?

You should not access g2d outside of paint. Let me explain. First of all, references to Graphics that are passed to methods, such as paint() and update(), are only valid during the execution of the method that they are passed to. That is, they are a copy of the original Graphics object. Once the method returns, the reference is no longer valid because its caller is responsible for disposing of it. Each Graphics represents a graphics context supplied by the native windowing system and there are usually only a limited number of them. Is this making sense. The important thing to remember is that the paint() method only has a copy of the Graphics object and that it is usually a bad idea to store it in an instance variable. The way that you get a reference to the Graphics of an image or a component (when you are outside of the paint() method) is to call the image.getGraphics(), component.getGraphics() or any of the Graphics.create() methods. Each returns a copy of the original Graphics object and you will be responsible for disposing of this copy when you are done using it. A very good example of this can be found when Double Buffering. Double Buffering is where you clear and draw an image off screen first, and then "blit" it straight onto your component. Here is an excerpt of code that is not from a paint() method://use double buffering to avoid flicker (paint image off screen then blit to screen)
if (offScreenImage == null) offScreenImage = createImage(getWidth(),getHeight());
Graphics offScreenGraphics = offScreoffScreenImage.getGraphics();
Graphics g = getGraphics();
//get graphics can return null if invoked before component's peer is created
if (offScreenGraphics!=null && g!=null) {
   try {
      //clear the offscreen image
      offScreenGraphics.setColor(getBackground());
      offScreenGraphics.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
      //blit to screen
      offScreenGraphics.drawImage(image,0,0,this);
      g.drawImage(offScreenImage,0,0,this);
   } finally {
      //must dispose of all graphics
      offScreenGraphics.dispose();
      g.dispose();
   }//end try
}//end ifIt demonstrates the getting of the Graphics object when your current method it is in wasn't passed a reference to the Graphics object. In the code above, image and offScreenImage are instance variables. If you still want to use the Java2D version of the Graphics object, you will have to cast it once you get a reference to it. I hope this helps.
Also, about repaint(). When you want to do application-triggered painting, you will want to call the repaint() method and should never call the paint() method directly. repaint() calls update(), update() clears the screen on heavyweight components, and finally paint() is called.

I need help to draw an image and move it plz plz : )

Ok, so I have this whole code and I understand most of it but not all of it but I'm trying to make image "drop.gif" to move down the right side of the window.

An Image JPanel, A semi-transparent JPanel, and non-opaque components

This is a more intelligent re-asking of the question I posed here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=579298&tstart=50.
I have a class called ImagePane, which is basically a JPanel with an image background. The code is much like the ImagePanel posted by camickr, discussed in this topic: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=316074 (except mine only draws the image, it does not tile or scale it).
On top of my ImagePane, I can place another component, TransparentContainer. This again extends JPanel, only a color is specified in the constructor, and it is drawn at about 70% opacity. This component is meant to help increase the readability of text components that blend with the background image, without blocking out the background image completely.
This works very well, until I need to add a component, like, say, a non-opaque JRadioButton in a ButtonGroup. When you select a new JRadioButton at runtime, the semi-transparent JPanel fills with a combination of a completely opaque color (the one specifies to the TransparentContainer) and garbage from the non-opaque component being redrawn.
I have noticed that the UI is restored to being non-messed up if you place another application window on top of it and then move it. So apparently, one solution is to redraw the entire UI, or just the part that has the JRadioButton on it, every time the radio button is clicked. However, this seems unnecessarily complicated. It seems to me that I am missing something in my TransparentContainer's paintComponent() method. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is my TransparentContainer code, if it will help:

I added the main method to your TransparentContainer class ...
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 JFrame f = new JFrame("test transparent container");
 f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 TransparentContainer tc = new TransparentContainer(Color.RED, true);
 JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello, World!");
 tc.add(label);
 f.getContentPane().add(tc);
 f.setSize(800, 600);
 f.setVisible(true);
 }...using the code you posted the label was not shown. I modified your paintComponent(Graphics g) method and I did this (see the areas in bold):
 /* protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
 * Paints the component with the borders and colors
 * that were set up in above methods.
 protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
 // Call super so components added to this panel are visible
 super.paintComponent(g);
 Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
 AlphaComposite alphaComp;
 g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
 g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_COLOR_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_COLOR_RENDER_QUALITY);
 g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ALPHA_INTERPOLATION,
 RenderingHints.VALUE_ALPHA_INTERPOLATION_QUALITY);
 g2d.setColor(getBaseColor());
 /* Draw the main body of the component */
 if (getFullTransEnabled())
 alphaComp = AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 0.6f);
 g2d.setComposite(alphaComp);
 else
 alphaComp = AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 1.0f);
 g2d.setComposite(alphaComp);
 g2d.fillRect(cbw, cbw, super.getWidth() - 2 * cbw, super.getHeight() - 2 * cbw);
 alphaComp = AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 0.6f);
 g2d.setComposite(alphaComp);
 /* Draw the inner border: */
 g2d.setColor(getInnerColor());
 g2d.fillRect(obw, obw, ibw, super.getHeight() - obw * 2); // left border
 g2d.fillRect(obw, obw, super.getWidth() - obw, ibw); // top border
 g2d.fillRect(super.getWidth() - cbw, obw, ibw, super.getHeight() - obw * 2); // right border
 g2d.fillRect(obw, super.getHeight() - cbw, super.getWidth() - obw * 2, ibw); // bottom border
 /* Draw the outer border: */
 g2d.setColor(getOuterColor());
 g2d.fillRect(0, 0, obw, super.getHeight()); // left border
 g2d.fillRect(0, 0, super.getWidth() + obw, obw); // top border
 g2d.fillRect(super.getWidth() - obw, 0, obw, super.getHeight()); // right border
 g2d.fillRect(0, super.getHeight() - obw, super.getWidth(), obw); // bottom border
 alphaComp = AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 1.0f);
 g2d.setComposite(alphaComp);
 // Do not dispose the graphics
 // g2d.dispose();
 }...seems to work fine now. Perhaps you should also add methods or additional constructors so the user can easily change the transparency level...and add some javadoc comments to your constructors ...at a first glance I did not know what fullTrans was
public TransparentContainer(Color color, boolean fullTrans)good luck!!

Need help with error log

Hello folks...
I wish I knew what I was looking at here, hopefully someone can make sense of this for me?
Yesterday I started up Flex Builder 3 and had an error. All I could see was java this java that...so I reinstalled java, hoping that might do something.
now I get a little different error than I saw, but I still see a lot of java references.
Thanks for you help!

Sorry...I'm completely new to Flex.
What do you mean by changing the workspace?
When I try to start Flex Builder 3, I can go no further as the error message comes up. Can I change the workspace outside of the application...if so, how?
Thanks much!

Error in opening Flex Builder

Hi,
I am facing a problem here in using Adobe Flex Builder 3. I was unable to build the workspace project on flex builder earlier, maybe due to some missing configurations,therefore I planned on reinstalling the flex builder.
Now, after reinstalling the flex builder, it does not works for me. It gives me an error when I try to open it.
Following error was encountered in the log file:

Any key pointers?
thanks,
Ankit

The only thing I can think of that could have caused this was
this line of code:
<mx:Button label=">" />
Would that do it? If so, shouldn't Flex Builder simply show
me a warning instead making the file completely
inaccessible?

Problem exiting eclipse 3.7 while using FB4.6 Plugin

I've tried many different versions of eclipse and I've come down to the realization that it is FB4.6.
Everytime I exit eclipse a pop up saying there are errors look in the metadata/.log file.
It appears as if FB4.6 is missing some of the plugins that it is trying to use. Any solutions?
Here is the .log File:
This is using eclipse 3.6. Every other version that I tested throws a similar if not identical .log file.
I've tried reinstalling everything, and starting in a clean work environment.

Stretch part of a buffered image

For my dissertation at university I am writing a program to generate rectangular cartograms, for an example look at:
here (Not my work)
I have written the algorithm to generate the cartograms(rectangles are drawn using Java 2D rectangle) and as a further step, I have overlayed a transparent buffered image of the actual map. I want to link the image and the rectangles so that when a rectangle gets bigger, that part of the image gets stretched larger (and visa versa for a rectangle getting smaller). I can check whether rectangles are getting larger or smaller but I am not sure about how to code the stretching(distorting) of the buffered image. Any ideas (or suggestions how to do this differently) would be greatly appreciated.
I am posting my drawing code in case this helps understand what I am trying to do. The algorithm for generating cartograms is not important and is contained in another class.

 if(showPop == true)
 double finalarea = area*0.005;
 BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal(finalarea).setScale(2,BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
 finalarea=b.doubleValue();
 String areastring = Double.toString(finalarea);
 g.drawString(areastring,(rect.x)+5,(rect.y)+25);
 if(transparencyChanged ==true)
 float tempfloat=(float) transparency;
 image = loadTranslucentImage(tempfloat);
 g.drawImage(image, 0, 0,getWidth(),getHeight(), null);
 else
 g.drawImage(image, 0, 0,getWidth(),getHeight(), null);
}My idea is to have an arraylist of rectangles in this class to keep a local copy of the rectangles being drawn. It is then easy to test if the new rectangle being drawn has a greater or less area than previously. Once this is done, I need to execute some code to stretch a rectangle of that size and position in "image".
Thanks,
Matt

I want to link the image and the rectangles so that when a rectangle gets bigger, that part of the image gets stretched larger (and visa versa for a rectangle getting smaller)Why don't you create a class that has at least these two fields
BufferedImage country;
Rectangle rect;Of course you can use any name for the fields you want.
You have one universal image (in this case "Euro_map.jpg"). Country will be a subimage of this universal one
//see BufferedImage#getSubimage api
country = euroMap.getSubimage(x,y,w,h);then when you draw rect you draw the country on top of it scaled to fit the same bounds.
g2d.setRenderingHint(
 java.awt.RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
 java.awt.RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g2d.setComposite(
 AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, transperancy));
g2d.drawImage(country,rect.x,rect.y,rect.width,rect.height,null);
g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.SrcOver);Lastly, in your code you have this
BufferedImage aimg = new BufferedImage(loaded.getWidth(), loaded.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TRANSLUCENT);The third parameter should be a BufferedImage type (TYPE_INT_ARGB for example). java.awt.Transparency.TRANSLUCENT has a value of 3, so you were creating a TYPE_INT_ARGB_PRE by chance. Luckily this type has an alpha channel. Were you aware you were doing that?

Eclipse Error during Database Studio startup

I have some MaxDB 7.7 and 7.8 databases on SLES11 x86_64. There is no Windows machine nearby so I cannot use good old (stable!) DBMGUI but I have to switch over to this fancy Databse Studio tool. Installation was no problem, but during there startup I get some error messages:
cd /sapdb/clients/DatabaseStudio/DatabaseStudio/
setenv PATH /sapdb/clients/DatabaseStudio/DatabaseStudio:$PATH
./dbstudio -vm /usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/bin/java

I get a small pop-up window with this information text:

How to draw a shape to Panel instead of draw to Frame

I have a Frame and add a Panel into this Frame. I want to draw a shape to Panel instead of draw to Frame. how do i do?

You can do two different things:
1) For temporary drawings that will disappear when the component is repainted, you can use getGraphics() on the Panel, draw on the Graphics, then dispose the Graphics.
2) For persistant drawings, subclass Panel and override the paint(Graphics g) method. Anything in there will be painted along with the panel. Start with super.paint(g); when you override for good coding practice.

"Graphic is disposed" in NWDS 7.1.1
