Help needed with image

I currently need a web page to be turned to image, so that later i can paint boxes and regions for classifying the various part of the page. The problem is the page is dumped to a jpg but the program doesnt wait for the page to load and gives me a blank screen shot. below is the code
JEditorPane jep = new JEditorPane();
jep.setEditable(false);
try {
jep.setPage("http://www.google.com");
catch (IOException e) {
jep.setContentType("text/html");
jep.setText("<html>Could not load Page </html>");
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(jep);
JFrame f = new JFrame("Displaying Web Page");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
f.setSize(512, 342);
f.setVisible(true);
Image image2 = scrollPane.createImage(800,600);
BufferedImage image = (BufferedImage) image2;
try {
ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File("c:\\Temp\\tt.jpg"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
The image was turned to BufferedImage since it gave me errors when I tried to give write the image file.
I think there needs to be some sort of wait operation but cannot figure out :\
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Sceptre

what do u mean by stack trace ?
the problem is not the error with the image file, that is solved by using BufferedImage.
The Problem is the program not waiting for the page to load before taking the screen shot.
As for the error when using an Image for the ImageIO.write it was the following:
symbol : method write(java.awt.Image,java.lang.String,java.io.File)
location: class javax.imageio.ImageIO
ImageIO.write(image2, "jpg", new File("c:\\Temp\\tt.jpg"));
1 error
Sorry if I wasn't clear

  • Help needed with Image Events problem

    Hi there I'm writing what I thought was a simple script to convert a folder full of images from jpg to tiff. But the script fails when trying to convert the first image in the folder. Instead of converting the image, Preview opens with the image shown and I get this error message: error "The variable ImageRef is not defined." number -2753 from "ImageRef".
    I have seen some posts about other people having the same problem, but I haven't seen any solutions.
    Here's the script.
    on run
    tell application "Finder"
    set PicturesFolder to ((path to home folder) as string) & "Pictures:SenseCam" as alias
    set Photographs to (get entire contents of PicturesFolder) as alias list
    end tell
    tell application "Image Events"
    launch
    repeat with Photo in Photographs
    if (Photo as string) ends with "jpg" then
    set ImageRef to open Photo
    save ImageRef in Photographs as TIFF
    close ImageRef
    end if
    end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
    repeat with Photo in Photographs
    delete Photo
    end repeat
    end tell
    end run
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello
    You may try something like the modified code below.
    Noticiable changes :
    #1 - Removed the parentheses. Your original code won't yield alias list but a list of finder objects, which is the reason why Preview opens the image. (The statment 'open finderObject' behaves the same as double clicking it in Finder)
    #2 - Only delete the original jpeg files which are converted to tiff.
    #3 - Build new path for converted image.
    #4 - Save in new path. (When saving image in a format other than its original format, always save the image to a new file and do not attempt to overwrite the source file.)
    cf.
    http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/imageevents/08.html
    on run
    tell application "Finder"
    set PicturesFolder to (path to home folder as string) & "Pictures:SenseCam:" as alias
    set Photographs to get entire contents of PicturesFolder as alias list -- #1
    end tell
    set DonePhotos to {} -- #2
    tell application "Image Events"
    launch
    repeat with Photo in Photographs
    set Photo to Photo's contents
    set oldPath to Photo as string
    if oldPath ends with ".jpg" then
    set newPath to oldPath's text 1 thru -5 & ".tif" -- #3
    set ImageRef to open Photo
    save ImageRef as TIFF in newPath -- #4
    close ImageRef
    set end of DonePhotos to Photo -- #2
    end if
    end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
    delete DonePhotos -- #2
    end tell
    end run
    Hope this may help,

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

    We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue.  All is now mostly well.

  • Help needed with itunes

    help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

    (Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
    If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Help needed with java

    Hello everyone
    I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
    here is my code so far:
    A Class that maintains Information about a book
    This might form part of a larger application such
    as a library system, for example.
    @author (your name)
    *@version (a version number or a date)*
    public class Book
    // instance variables or fields
    private String author;
    private String title;
    Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
    author = bookAuthor;
    title = bookTitle;
    Return The name of the author.
    public String getAuthor()
    return author;
    Return The name of the title.
    public String getTitle()
    return title;
    and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
    Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
    This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
    Add a second Constructor with signature
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
    this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
    Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
    Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
    Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
    Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
    public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
    Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
    Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
    However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
    If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
    Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
    Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
    Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
    Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
    Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
    Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
    Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
    PS. sorry it looks so messey

    1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
    2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]

    If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
    This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Help needed with perl Image::Magick module

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this (it might belong in the Newbie corner instead), but I'll give it a try.
    I need an Image::Magick Perl module (and a load of other modules, which I have found) for a program I desperately need. Now, the only thing I know about Perl is that v. 6 is supposed to be coming out soon - apart from that, I'm blank. The installation is giving me some problems.
    The installation guide is somewhat ambiguous. It says:
    Next, edit Makefile.PL and change LIBS and INC to include the appropriate path information to the required libMagick library. You will also need paths to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc. delegates if they were included with your installed version of ImageMagick.
    In the Makefile.PL which comes with the package, these two are defined:
    'INC' => '-I../ -I.. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/include/libxml2',
    'LIBS' => ['-L/usr/lib -lMagick -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/usr/lib -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -ldpstk -ldps -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lxml2 -lpthread -lm -lpthread'],
    I haven't changed anything in them, because I haven't got the slightest idea what to change and to what. When I run the installation procedure ('perl Makefile.PL', 'make', and 'make test'), I get an error message during the test (but not before that). Here's the entire output from 'make test':
    /bin/sh ../magick.sh PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/bzlib/*.t t/jng/*.t t/jpeg/*.t t/mpeg/*.t t/png/*.t t/ps/*.t t/tiff/*.t t/x/*.t t/xfig/*.t
    /bin/sh: ../magick.sh: No such file or directory
    make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 127
    There is mention somewhere that one might compile the module together with ImageMagick or with Perl, but I don't think I'm ready for that...
    Is there anyone skilled in Perl who can tell me what it is that I'm doing wrong, alternatively make a package file...?

    I've found two other packages that I needed in AUR, but when I run the make test for the program that I need (fontlinge), it still complains that it can't find the Image::Magick module. I already have the imagemagick package installed, though, that's why I thought I'd have to install and compile the perl module separately.
    Here's the output from the 'make test' for fontlinge:
    make -C modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/eyolf/temp/src/fontlinge-2.0.1/modules'
    make[2]: Entering directory `/home/eyolf/temp/src/fontlinge-2.0.1/modules/fontlinge'
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/eyolf/temp/src/fontlinge-2.0.1/modules/fontlinge'
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eyolf/temp/src/fontlinge-2.0.1/modules'
    ./misc/check_for_modules.pl --skip-fontlinge-module
    Ok. Cwd 'abs_path'
    Ok. DBI
    Ok. User::pwent
    Missing Image::Magick
    Ok. Getopt::Long
    Ok. DBD::mysql
    Ok. File::Find
    Ok. File::Path
    Ok. ExtUtils::MakeMaker
    Ok. 5.006
    Ok. bytes
    Ok. -utf8
    It seems some required modules are missing.
    How to get missing modules differs from _which_ module you are missing.
    You can get modules like DBI from your distributions CD
    or search the web for a RPM/DEB/...-file. www.cpan.org is always a good adress.
    It may be a good idea to configure your perl-CPAN-Module as ROOT(!!!) by typing
    perl -MCPAN -eshell
    It is VERY important that you do not just 'su' to root but 'su -' on SuSE linux.
    Once you have configured perl, you can install CPAN-modules by
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install MODULENAME'
    Other modules like Image::Magick require you to have the programs installed
    they belong to.
    If you are missing a 'fontlinge'-module, you have not installed this
    program correctly. :-)
    If the missing module begins with a '-' sign this module might miss,
    because it is not possible to DEACTIVATE it, i.e. unwanted utf8 encoding.
    make: *** [test] Error 255
    If this makes sense to anyone, I'd be very happy. (For the record: Fontlinge is - or at least seems to be - the only decent font manager I've found for Linux. This seems to be a gaping, wide open black hole in the Linux world... There's gfontview, opcion, fontpage, and a couple of other minor apps that I've found, but none of them are functional for anything but the most basic operations, and on the whole, there doesn't seem to be much between the KDE font manager - which really makes one wonder how far the KDE people want to go in their emulation of windows... - and the font editor FontForge, which is great as a font editor, but overkill as a viewer, and hardly a manager.)
