How to draw grid?

I want to draw a grid in an application. how do i do that?
I want to use a efficient & effective way of doing it.
I was thinking along the lines of drawing a 2D rectangle and draw horizontal/vertical lines in position to make up the grid. (this probably would be a hard coded way)
would above work then?
Any ideas?

You should also store a variable like gridX and gridY that you can change. These variables specify the amount of desired grid lines in the x and y direction. Then at draw time, based on the width and height of the component you caculate the interspacing betwen lines required to meet your desired # of lines and draw accordingly.

How to draw a straight dotted line on Bar chart at 70%?

Hi
Could you please let me know how to draw a straight dotted line on BAR CHART at 70%?
Thank you

Hi,
This may vary depending on what version of crystal you are using.
Right click on the graph & go to 'chart options' & choose 'Grids'
In the grids pane go to the grids tab. From there check the 'draw custom line at' and specify where you want to draw the custom line.
Once the line is drawn highlight the line, right click and go to 'chart options' & 'selected item'.
select what format you want the line to look like (choose the dashed one).
good luck!

How to draw vertical lines in SMART FORMS

Hi Guys,
Can anyone please let me know how to draw vertical and horizontal lines in smart forms, i have to do this in the secondary window.
thanks,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
In the window output options you have option of check box to get lines.
Then you need to give the spacing for vertical and horizontal.
Another option is putting a template on window and getting the boxes, but it is quite little bit complex.
Put the cursor on the WINDOW in which the lines you want.
Right click on it>create>complex section.
In that select the TEMPLATE radio button.
Goto TAB TEMPLATE.
Name: give some name of line.
From: From coloumn.
To: To coloumn
Height: specify the height of the line.
Next give the coloumn widths.
Like this you can draw the vertical and horzontal lines.
If the above option doesnot workout then u can try the below option also
any how you can draw vertical and horizontal lines using Template and Table.
for Template First define the Line and divide that into coloumns and goto select patterns and select the required pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
For table, you have to divide the total width of the table into required no.of columns and assign the select pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
if this helps, reward with points.

Naveen

2> if the user finds some interesting image on the video, he will pause the video
and draw a circle to mark the interesting part on that image.
I know how to draw a 2D shapes on JPanel, however, I have no idea how I can

How to Draw table in SAPscript ???

Hi all Guru of SAPScript!
I want to draw a table with column and row in SAPscript. Who can help me step by step?
Thanks!
Edited by: kathy a on May 6, 2008 11:53 AM

Hi,
Use BOx Syantax How to Draw table in SAPscript ??? Pls Read the description
Syntax:
1. /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
2. /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
3. /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
BOX
Syntax:
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
Parameters: For each parameter (XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME), both a measurement and a unit of measure must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be entered as a percentage between 0 and 100.
XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
WIDTH: Width of the box.
Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
HEIGHT: Height of the box.
Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
FRAME: Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as %.
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP/4 numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
Units of measure: The following units of measure may be used:
TW (twip)
PT (point)
IN (inch)
MM (millimeter)
CM (centimeter)
LN (line)
CH (character).
The following conversion factors apply:
1 TW = 1/20 PT
1 PT = 1/72 IN
1 IN = 2.54 CM
1 CM = 10 MM
1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the layout set header
1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set header
Examples:
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
POSITION
Syntax:
/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words as a value which specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
XORIGIN, YORIGIN: Origin of the coordinate system.
WINDOW: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current window (default setting).
PAGE: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same as those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
Examples:
/: POSITION WINDOW
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
SIZE
Syntax:
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
WIDTH, HEIGHT: Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
WINDOW: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
Examples:
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

How to draw smooth curve in Hyperdraw??

Okay, I've checked the manual 4x and have been playing with Hyperdraw for 30 minutes and still can't figure out how to draw a smooth bell curve in the Hypereditor... In Cubase, I would take the pencil tool and draw a nice curve but can't seem to figure out how do the same in Logic!
Could someone pleeeeease lend me a clue...?
Thanks.

Yes, Logic was an acquisition. It has remained to this day "The Redheaded Stepchild". If they ever take
some engineers off the iOS projects and put them on Logic, the application may shape up. Don't get your hopes too high though. iOS is where they make all the Money. Logic is small potatoes in Apples big picture.
PS: This message will soon disappear because it contains truth.
To give them credit, Logic made a HUGE jump in usability when it hit Logic 8.
I mean, MASSIVE.
It's actually usable by mortals now.
Even among professional tools, there are well-designed ones and completely arcane ones with the same functionality.
Logic grew over decades of adding an extra little limb here, and growing a third chin down there, etc., at the behest of a hundred studio techs missing this or that and calling up the engineers or higher-uppers. It was an extremely powerful, but utterly convoluted MESS.
The fact that you can now explain the basic structure of Logic 8 in less than three minutes (the fact that it HAS a "basic structure", rather than just a kraken-like reenactment of 80 years of studio development known as "The Environment") makes a huge difference, and, though they've confused people who've whittled the beast into shape over the past twenty years by trying to make the application "Logical" (including key commands), the benefits to users are, IMHO, tremendous.
I know a number of people who wouldn't have considered working with Logic before (Nuendo users), and now that Logic 9 appears to have fixed many of the most glaring bugs in Logic 8, are adding it to their toolset.

Hello Saravanakumar,
You could insert an OLE Object > Create New > MS Word Document (or MS Excel Worksheet), draw your diagonal line and insert into the report. As well the OLE Object could be inserted into a section that then underlays the following sections if you require this line to appear across fields.
