Graphics within F1 help

Hi all,
has anyone an idea how to insert a graphic into my F1-help.
It seems that F1 processor has some problems with it because if I print my dokument the graphic is shown correctly only within performance assistant (or modal f1 window) the graphic is not shown.
Any help is highly welcomed!
Thanks!
Best regards

You have something called the AWT Event Thread. This is what does all windowing events. If you press a button, the ActionListener is ran in this thread. If you paint the screen, it too is done in this thread.
Now you are adding delays in the paint method (from the sounds of it), so you send the current thread (which is the AWT event thread) to sleep. Now you application can no longer do anything GUI (hear mouse clicks, repaint other components) while this thread is asleep.
This is why you are having the problems you are having.
To fix it you need a datamodel. The circles represent something I would guess, so don't paint circles. Paint Thingies (which are represented by circles).
The paint method has to be changed so instead of handing the loop, it looks at the data model to see how many Thingies it has to draw, and where.
You the use a different loop (either main(), or a TimerTask) to add the Thingies into the datamodel, and call repaint.

What happens when the multiply effect is applied to both the object and the graphic within?

Hi everyone,
I could really use some help with this...
I'm getting a booklet ready to be printed. Originally, half of the pages were to be printed on paper with a (physical) colour. For budget reasons however, I've now decided to print the paper colour, and have the content of the pages overprinted on the tint in the background, which I've applied to the pages in the background of an additional master page.
When I set the objects to multiply, they blend with the background colour, which is the effect I'm looking for, as there would be no 'paper white' on the pages that I want to appear as though printed on coloured paper.
There's something confusing me though; you can also set the graphic within the object frame to multiply. This makes the graphic appear darker, which I don't really understand, since there is no extra colour within the graphic that accounts for this. I've looked at the output in the resulting pdf, and it looks like it's not just an on-screen effect, but the extra amount of (in this case) yellow would also be visible in the printed result.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Please see the graphic for a visual example.
Thanks in advance, kind regards
Robbin

Hi.
          Yes. There is a heartbeat mechanism between all cluster members so they detect when a
          member has left the cluster. The primary server recognizes when it's secondary server
          has failed, and then proceeds to search for another member of the cluster to make as
          it's new secondary.

[JS] CS4 How to position a graphic within a Frame

I have a JS script that I am converting from CS3 to CS4 and I am finding that the behaviour for positioning a graphic within a frame has changed. I have code that sets the geometric bounds of a graphic to a negitave value within the frame, within CS3 this works great. However using the same code on CS4 to set the geometric bounds does not produce the same result. The graphic is always placed at 0,0 and it ignores the negitive top and left values supplied.
Does anyone know what has changed with the geometric bounds of a graphic within a recrangle frame? How would I set the position of the graphic within the frame since setting the geometric bounds does not seem to work any longer.
Thanks,
Sheldon

I have yet to determine why the behavior is different from CS3 to CS4 and how to correct the positioning within CS4. To help explain the problem further I have included a sample script which demonstrates the problem. I have run the script on both CS3 and CS4 and included screen shots of the results when the resulting INDD file is opened. Could someone help explain why the position of the image is wrong in CS4 and what I can do to correct the problem?
Here is the sample script ...
for(i=app.documents.count()-1;i>=0;i--){app.documents.item(i).close();}
app.textPreferences.useOpticalSize = false;
app.textPreferences.typographersQuotes = false;
app.textImportPreferences.useTypographersQuotes = false;
app.taggedTextImportPreferences.useTypographersQuotes = false;
app.pasteboardPreferences.minimumSpaceAboveAndBelow = "300p";
app.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.ascentOffset;
app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = File("C:\\etc\\Friesens_Yearbook_Custom_Color_Settings.csf");
app.marginPreferences.top = '24pt';
app.marginPreferences.bottom = '48pt';
app.marginPreferences.left = '36pt';
app.marginPreferences.right = '36pt';
var doc = app.documents.add();
doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
doc.documentPreferences.pageHeight = 792;
doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth = 612;
doc.documentPreferences.pageOrientation = PageOrientation.portrait;
doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 2;
doc.documentPreferences.facingPages = true;
doc.sections.firstItem().continueNumbering = false;
doc.sections.firstItem().pageNumberStart = 2;
var pg = doc.pages.item(0);
var frm = pg.rectangles.add();
frm.geometricBounds = ['200.5pt','200.2pt','447.8551pt','415.5206pt'];
try{frm.place (File('c:\\test.jpg'), false);}catch(err){};
if(frm.graphics.count() > 0) {frm.graphics.firstItem().geometricBounds = [frm.geometricBounds[0]-147, frm.geometricBounds[1]-49, 407.04+frm.geometricBounds[0]-147, 271.68+frm.geometricBounds[1]-49];};
var objStyle = doc.objectStyles.add();
objStyle.enableStroke= false;
objStyle.transparencySettings.blendingSettings.opacity = 100;
frm.applyObjectStyle(objStyle, true, true);
frm.rotationAngle = 59;
doc.label = '824203.indd';
doc.packageForPrint('c:\\test\\824203\\', true, true, true, true, true, false, '', false, false);
for(i=app.documents.count()-1;i>=0;i--){app.documents.item(i).close();}
The line that I highlighted is the one that adjusts the images position within its frame. It uses a formula to determine the exact position relative to the containing frames position. This is why you will see the calculations to determine the geometric bounds.
Here is the result of the script using InDesign Server CS3, notice the position of the image based on the 'Direct Selection Tool' highlight area (this is the desired result):
And, here is the result after running the script against InDesign Server CS4:
As you can see the Image is placed at the lot left corrner of the frame which is wrong. Any insight into the diffrences in the behavior would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am looking for a new graphics card to help with my 1.5GB files in InDesign.

I am getting "Out of memory " indications as my files gets to the maximum number of pages in my magazine. I am guessing that I need a larger capacity graphics card to help during the construction of the magazine. Any thoughts?

I have a Lenovo desktop with win8 and 16GB memory. I have an upgraded graphics card with 2GB memory. I am using CS6. My free drive space is in the 300GB range. I keep all data off line on a 1TB Buffalo drive. I am producing a 52 page color magazine that is filled with graphics and ads (40%). I rarely import graphics files and normally always link them. As I am moving around my file sometimes processing is slow. I have turned off the pre-flight and only use it when I am ready to go to the printer. That helps. I wopuld like to get back to sub-second response time and thought a better performing graphics card would help.

Feathered edges on graphics within Keynote 6.1?

Is there a way to create feathered edges on graphics within Keynote 6.1 without bringing it in from another program? I know I can use Photoshop or some other program to create the mask but it seems there should be an easy way to do this from within Keynote. It seems the only masking available has hard edges.

Quicker, easier and better results in Photoshop.
You could use borders but not very convincing, select the image then:
Format Inspector > Style > Border > line > then select a line type from the dropdown menu and reduce opacity

Problem with MSI GTX 960 GAMAING 4G graphics card - Please help

So I just bought an MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card. My problem is that it seems to randomly decide when it wants to run fine at 1215 MHz, and when it wants to downclock to around 135 MHz. Today for example, I was playing Witcher 3: Game was running fine (~55 FPS) for a few hours because the card was performing at maximum. Then, out of nowehere, I dropped to about 4 FPS. I checked Afterburner, and the core clock went down to 135 MHz, while I was still in game. The card is not overheating during gaming. I have the fans set to 35% speed at all times and the GPU never got hotter than about 50c.
I have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I even tried an earlier set of nVidia drivers and the same things happened. Also yes, it is firmly seated in the PCI-E slot and yes, the power cable is firmly plugged in.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 Devils Canyon
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI mobo
GSkill Sniper 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card
Antec EDGE 550w PSU
I understand these newer graphics cards have power saving settings built in, but I have my nVidia control panel settings to "Prefer maximum performance" and it doesn't seem to help. It seems my card is putting itself into power saver mode at will. I suppose my PSU could be the culprit even though the recommended PSU is only 400w, and I have 550w. Any ideas?

So it turns out I wasn't running the latest BIOS for my motherboard. I updated my BIOS and cleared CMOS. Everything was running fine for a couple hours. I was playing Witcher 3 at full clock and memory speed. GPU temp was hovering around 62 deg c at 60 FPS. Then after a couple hours, the game crashed. Rebooted my computer, and now I am back to the same issue where the card won't run at full speed in a 3D application. Even ran the Valley benchmark tool again and the card didn't increase speed to compensate.
Do I have a defective card? If so I will get it replaced from Newegg.
Also I don't know if I am running the latest vbios. GPU-Z says I have 84.06.14.00.F3
If there is a newer vbios, I can try to update and see if that does anything. I will try anything before returning this to Newegg. My old video card bit the dust and artifacts everywhere, so I don't have a temp replacement.

Adobe photoshop cs4 graphics card acceleration help!

Need a little help,
everytime i start cs4, it says "adobe photoshop cs4 now includes graphics card acceleration. we recomend you vist your video card manufacturers website and download and install latest drives.
I am running vista 64 bit and a ati radeon hd 4800 series card "4870 to be exact" and under properties it is 8.612.0.0, but when i follow the adobe link and it brings me to the site it has version 9.5?? i clicked update driver and it says its upto date, is this a problem, and why does it show this everytime photoshop starts?
thanks

Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

Pdf docs created in pages show only photos, graphics, NO text, Help

I have tried exporting to pdf, best quality & also "Print" to pdf with same results. The resulting thumbnail on my desktop and the one in "get info". look fine but when the pdf doc is opened only the graphic elements including photos show up. NO words show up at all (on Mac or PC). I need to be able to create pdf so I can print on pc network. Any suggestions. It would appear that I am following the instructions correctly as a pdf is actually created but with the above results.

Tried your suggestion to no avail. However found some new info that might help find the problem.
1. When I open in preview rather than Adobe the document looks correct.
2. When I click and drag across the missing text I can produce grayed blocks where the text should be..
3. If I then "copy" and "past" into a blank word document the text appears in the word document.
4. I was able to open the document with the problem with e-copy desk top a kind of reader/converter.
5. My OS is up to date.
5. Adobe reader is up to date as well (8.1 think).
Thanks, for your help though. I really appreciate your trying.

Dynamic JPanel graphics within a JFame

Dear Forum,
I have a class which extends JFrame. It calls two classes that each extend JPanel with paintComponent() overriden so that I can draw 2D graphics in each. The first JPanel class is a static arrangement of shapes. This class and the class that extends JFrame also implement a MouseListener so that when a MouseEvent occurs within the first JPanel class, it causes the second JPanel class to redraw in graphics. That's the hope.
I am able to do everything but get the second JPanel class to change (i.e. I can get a print statement to verify that my MouseEvent is creating the proper data structure in the JFrame class). However, I cannot figure a way around having the either JPanel class called statically.
Can this be done? It sounds simple enough. Rather than ask you all for code. Does anyone know the general approach to this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

Placing graphics within a scroller area

I have on one of my view a lot of text so I have created it so to scroll see below, (if wrong plese let me know):
<s:Scroller left="20" right="20" top="20" bottom="0">
     <s:RichEditableText percentWidth="100" percentHeight="100" editable="false" selectable="false">
          <s:p>My text goes here</s:p>
     </s:RichEditableText>
</s:Scroller>
Now with in this text would live to place some graphics like boxes with text inside as I want to create a diagram etc, but if i place my rectangle code (see below) with in the 'RichEditableText' section all goes well until till I click on a link to goto this view and nothing happens and it freezes up
<s:Rect width="135" height="71" radiusX="10">
     <s:fill>
<s:SolidColor color="#ff990" />
     </s:fill>
</s:Rect>
Does any one know how I can add the graphics etc with in there to work an scroll with the text, or am i using the wrong scroll method etc.
Many Thanks
Si

Ok I read the doc and searched the web and I found the problem.
RichEditableText can only accept text or InlineGraphicsElement. If you want to add graphics in the text, you will have to create an InlineGraphicsElement and add it to a paragraph.
My first suggestion would be to change your declaration for this :
<s:Scroller left="20" right="20" top="20" bottom="0">
   <s:RichEditableText percentWidth="100" percentHeight="100" editable="false" selectable="false">
        <s:textFlow>
           <s:TextFlow>
               <s:p id="firstPar">
                     My text goes here
               </s:p>
           </s:TextFlow>
       </s:textFlow>
</s:RichEditableText>
</s:Scroller>
This will allow you to have more than 1 paragraph. It's how Adobe implement a RichEditableText in the doc.
To add a graphic to this paragraph, you will add this code in the fx:Script tag.
import flashx.textLayout.elements.InlineGraphicElement;
private var rec:InlineGraphicElement;
protected function view1_viewActivateHandler(event:ViewNavigatorEvent):void
     rec = new InlineGraphicElement();
     rec.source = drawRect();
     firstPar.addChild(rec);
private function drawRect():Sprite
     var spt:Sprite = new Sprite();
     spt.graphics.beginFill(0xff9900);
     spt.graphics.drawRect(0,0,135,71);
     spt.graphics.endFill();
     return spt;
The InlineGraphicElement can load an external file (an image for example). You can also create a sprite and set it as the source as I do here.
I hope this will help you to understand how you could do what you want to do

Possible to generate graphics within smart forms dynamically like SVG ?

Hello,
I would like to generate a graphic for a smart form. This graphic will only be needed in the smart form. Therefore my question:
It is <b>possible to generate dynamically graphics using ABAP</b> as programming language? In the same line like SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) or ChartDirector? I know it works in many other programming languages.
Smart forms can handle *.bmp and *.tif picutres. Therefore the output of this ABAP program should be a picutre within the format *.bmp and *.tif.
Daniel

Welcome to SDN,
I am not sure whether you can use SVG in smart form, but certainly in ABAP yes. check out the following atricle for more info.

If the card did not work in another PC, especially if the other PC had a PSU >=500 Watts and both PCIe power connectors were connected, then the card itself is likely to have issues.

Macbook Pro 2008 Graphics issue. HELP?

I have the 2008 Macbook Pro, 2.6Ghz intel core 2 duo, and have recently encountered the graphics issue which was very common in this machine. My mac is nowhere near dead though, it still runs most of the time from 10 mins (worst case) to a few days- before it freezes and glitches and dies. Most of the time it lasts around 1-2hr. I took it to the apple store and they said it would need a new logic board costing over £300- no thanks. Recently, I have been using SMCFanControl and ramped up the fans to around 5000rpm from 2000 rpm. I havent had any troubles for over a day. Will this carry on- as long as I dont let it over heat- is there any other fixes or advice. Thanks. Please reply!

I couldn't say what is causing the problem. You have graphics, so I assume the GPU is working. If it is hot, then perhaps you need to stop doing whatever causes that such as gaming. You might also check the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
