Help needed finding tools or terminology

Third try due to login and post problems ...
I'm looking for some tools to help me with some graphical layout needs,
Part of my problem is that all the keywords an phrases I can think of to fo a Google or forum search bring up too much that I don't want.
Any pointers to tools or terminology would be appreciated.
I have a couple of graphical layout needs.
One application needs to place 'widgets' of a few predefined types on a canvass, connect them with lines, set properties, and display them in different colors/apperance based upon their status. I'm sure everyone has encountered many applications which do this kind of thing. I even coded a couple in SWING myself. This time I hope someone has a toolkit which does all the basics and I can concentrate on my application needs.
A similar need is a layout manage which allows selection of 'widgets' of various types and placement on a tree or directed, acyclic graph according to a limited set of rules (e.g., you can add a leaf or a branch to a branch, but you cannot add a branch to a leaf).
A third variation allows construction of 'composit widgets' from a selection of basic widgets according to a set of rules (e.g., you can make a car using one engine, one body and 4 wheels).
Any ideas of tools that may help me?
Any suggestions of how/where to search to find any such tools?
Thanks,
-- Frank

third time and no answer? he you will not get any answer. This looks like a general problem.
but some terminology for you:
- graphs
- graph-algorithms
- wrong forum
- branches are leafs as long as they have no childs
This is not a problem really belonging to swing. What you need is algorithms. So post in the algorithm forum.
May it helps: MVC. You need the C and the M, swing will only be the V.
There are a lot of tools out in the net for deploying graphs, with definable nodes, nodeproperties, different graphtypes. Just look out for them (graph, graph-layout,etc.)

    Welcome to Apple Support Community.
    If you have an earlier MacBook 2006-early 2009, it has a mini-DVI port.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A/apple-mini-dvi-to-vga-adapter
    Search for 'mini DVI to VGA adapter' online, and you will find many sources for an adapter compatible with your MacBook.

  • Help needed finding logical Firebird replacement.

    A friend would like to buy my Firebird 803 but I am not sure what I can find that will replace it.   I need something quiet and unobtrusive for the TV room with easy hookups.  The Firebird right now is connected to the media system via 2 cables:  HDMI and optical digital.    Ideally, I would like something that would plug into the same 2 cables.
    Anything that's big, requires a lot of wires or has lots of loud fans is not acceptable and will likely result to my gaming being relegated to the back room.  I like gaming on the big screen by the fireplace.    
    Can anyone suggest something that will fit the bill?
    Ideally, graphics benchmarks would be equivalent to the GTX 260, but anything in-between the Firebird and the 260 would be fine
    Price < $3k if possible.
    Is HP planning a second-gen Firebird?  
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Ned.

    ned23,
    The FIrebird is a fairly unique product.. in that it has the power to pull off most of the newer games with decent performance (when in SLI mode) while being very quiet.
    I have a similar configuration - but with an 802. I keep it in a lower profile entertainment center, connected to 1080p LCD via HDMI. I keep it behind closed doors which makes the liquid cooling come in very handy.
    You can certainly find PCs from HP that are more powerful with a slightly smaller case ID, but I don't think you'll find any as quiet. HP's main lilnes of new style of cases do a good job of removing heat and thus keeping the fan noise down. To me, if I had that kind of money to spend, I'd configure an e9280t from HP.shopping's Web site (or build my own)...
    The graphics cards available come with 1 HDMI and 1 DVI (so you'd have to use an adapter). On the side... you'd have to throw in two cards to get SLI back (and really get some good performance).
    Of course, Black Friday is coming up and there will probably be some new stuff coming out.
    I don't think HP can comment unnofficially about new products... sorry. As you, I like my Firebird and would like to see a new product.

  • Help needed finding uncaught exception in amended SQLBooks sample

    Hi all
    I've been playing with the SQLBooks example and now I've got a an uncaught exception error coming up when I try press the + (add) button on the main screen.
    I've changed the DB that I'm using and have created my own equivalent classes for the book object.
    The app compiles with no errors or warnings and the main screen loads up (no data showing as my DB is empty).
    I hit the + button to add a new 'book' and the cellForRowAtIndexPath method runs no problem (I've stepped through that) but after this there isn't anything else for me to step into and the simulator returns to the code with something about an UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION. I'm new to xcode and mac development so don't have the knowledge to debug past what I've done.
    Any suggestions on where I can start?
    Regards
    Wayne

    If you haven't noticed it, the other person who responded to your message is correct. However, the log is a little confusing and it can be difficult to sort the messages in the log into categories. You may want to type the name of your application into the search box to narrow things down a bit. Do that and then run your application and you'll see only the messages sent by it (and not by Xcode).
    If you notice the stack trace in your code (it's a couple of lines long so it's tough to miss), you'll probably find the more informative message a few lines above.
    Hope that helps.

  • Help needed finding old MMS topic listing mms emails for dif providers

    Ok, Im usually better at this. I meant to bookmark or at least copy and save the information provided in I believe it was a FAQ! someone had wrote up on sending MMS to different providers from the iPhone.
    It was great, had a listing of all the [email protected] type emails for sending pictures to diff providers and it worked from the iPhone. Wanted to get that info onto the phone, anyone know what Im talking about and can help point me in the right direction?

    I know this list is rather extensive and possibly overkill, but I got the following information from
    http://www.modmyiphone.com/wiki/index.php/MMSEmailAddresses
    I've cut out the foreign carriers and text-only/pager addresses... but this should suffice since you are in the United States:
    "US Based Carriers:
    Alltel = [email protected]
    AT&T = [email protected]
    Boost Mobile = [email protected]
    Cingular (AT&T) = [email protected]

    despite the workaround, it doesn't fix the real problem. It shouldn't be a huge deal for adobe to add support for multiple svn versions. Dreamweaver is the first tool i've used that works with svn that doesn't support several types of svn meta data. If they're going to claim that Dreamweaver supports svn is should actually support svn, the current version, not a version several years old. This should have been among the first patches released, or at least after snow leopard came out (and packaged with it the current version of svn).
    does anyone know if the code that handles meta data formatting is something that is human readable, or where it might be, or is it in compiled code.
    i signed up for the forums, for the sole purpose of being able to vent about this very frustrating and disappointing situation.

  • Need help in finding a font for a logo

    I was looking for help in finding a font for my logo. I'm not a designer at all, so I'm calling on all the fine designers and folks on the Adobe site to help me out. All replies are, of course, appreciated and any suggestions/comments/ideas will be welcome.
    I'm designing a logo for my film company. I wanted to keep it simple but not boring either. I put together the first draft of the logo using Photoshop CS3 and used Trajan Pro for the film company words (Panthera Films) and used Futura for the slogan ("Inspiration through Imagination"). While I don't mind the fonts, it's simple but, alas, too boring. I love the panther image but need a dynamic font for "Panthera Films" and a complimenting font for the slogan. 
    Can anyone recommend a good combination of fonts to replace the Trajan Pro and Futura? As well, I want to give the logo a nice presence without it being too loud, bold or jumping off the page. As well, should the font for "Films" be the same as "Panthera" or can they be different?
    The image I attached is something I was thinking to use as a banner on a website.
    Any help would be appreciated too with this
    TIA,
    Dale

    Dale,
    As I said, I like it too.
    You may consider making it a bit heavier, maybe bold, for readability at small sizes.
    It is hard to recommend a specific font because it should represent your company and what it stands for. Have you tried typing the name in a word processing application (Worst or something better) and then running through all the font you have? If not, that might give you a few new thoughts about the overall kind of font you feel is the right one. And then it is much easier to recommend something.

  • Need help to find photo's on my backup drive,since installing Mountain Lion cannot find where they are stored.The backups after ML install are greyed out except in Applications, MyFiles and Devices really welcome a hand with this please.

    I need help to find my photo's please (2500) on my backup drive.Lost them after doing a clean install of Mountan Lion I have tried to find them but had no luck.  I use Time Machine with a 1TB Western Digital usb drive. Thanking anyone in anticipation of a solution.

    -Reece,
    We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
    So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
    The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

  • Need help in finding the number of occurrences of a pattern.

    Hi All,
    I need help in finding the number of occurrences of a pattern in a table's column's data.
    Consider sample data - one row's column from a table:
    "S-S-S-A-S-S-P-S-S-B-S-A-P-S-S-C"
    My requirement is:

    Sylvia,
    I cannot comment on PrE 3, as I did not start until PrE 4. With the latter, when one went to use one of the modules, they were automatically "registered." Based on comments in the Help file, I asked pretty much this same question, back then. All was done automatically, in PrE 4.
    Maybe those, familiar with PrE 3, can be of help to you.

    Hi Swetha,
    You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
    How to adjust tables :
    Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
    Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
    NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
    How to collect the changes in TR:
    You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
    Hope it helps!

  • Need help for finding oracle payables tables

I have searched a lot but has been unable to find any table containing all the above mentioned fields. I found the table WF_NOTIFICATIONS for INVOICE_ID, however have been unable to find the latest tables with INVOICE_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS as fields.
    All the tables having this combination are either very old tables which are not used anymore or doesnt give the required data. Please let me know where am i going wrong. Once i get the required tables, i need to join the tables to get the required data with the imp fields. Also, the values of WFAPPROVAL_STATUS are not very clear to me. I need values for it as APPROVED, REJECTED AND INITIATED.
