How to get Font height

OK I give up.
How can I get font height, not size. For example for font size 12, font height is 17.
This method, getHeight(), is accessable through FontMetrics object which is accessable from Graphics object. I can't get Graphics simply with
JLabel lab = new JLabel();
lab.getGraphics(); // this gets me null
so how can I get the font height ?

Get the FontMetrics object from your Component and its font (you can use method getFont):

CSS layout - how to get 100% height

I'm starting with a Dreamweaver template (2 column elastic,
left sidebar, header and footer). It's set up in CSS so that there
is a div container with a few other divs inside it. I want 100%
width and height. In the CSS for the container, I added width: 100%
and height: 100%. Width is now 100%, but height is not responding.
This is the only code I changed from the original template.
Any idea how to get my height to 100%?
Thanks!

Google "Faux columns".

How to get the height of JPanel?

Hi.
I am new to GUI programming.
I am trying to get the height of a JPanel which I put inside a JFrame but the getHeight() method returns me zero.
My code are as follows:
public class Form2
public static void main(String[] args)
JFrame f = new JFrame();
JPanel p = new JPanel();
f.setTitle("Testing...");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setSize(400, 300);
f.setVisible(true);
f.add(p);
System.out.println(f.getHeight());
System.out.println(p.getHeight());
Can somebody enlighten me on how to obtain the height of the JPanel?
Thanks in advance.

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
I am trying to get the height of a JPanelComponents don't have a size until the JFrame is made visible and all the components are layed out by the LayoutManager. You can use a WindowListener to tell when a frame is shown.

How to get Font's associated with a pdf document.

Hi All,
I am currently working on a project related to Document Management in SAP. For this I have a set of pdf document's that needs to be classified as 'searchable' and 'Non-searchable'. I am planning to identify the document based on Font contents i.e a searchable document has some font associated with it, and non-searchable documents do not have any font associated with it.
I am trying to use the class cl_fp_pdf_object and get the information about font. I see that there is no function which gives me this information directly. Is there any way to get font information of a pdf documents using classes ? or Is there any way to identify directly weather a document is searchable or not ? Please help.
DATA: l_fp          TYPE REF TO if_fp,
           l_pdfobj      TYPE REF TO if_fp_pdf_object.
    Create PDF Object.
      l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = p_dest ).
    Set document.
      l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = l_pdf ).
    Set task to get metadata.
      l_pdfobj->set_task_getmetadata( ).
    Execute, call ADS.
      l_pdfobj->execute( ).
Thanks
Aditya

Just curious....why would you make "font" the basis of that classification?

How-to get Font weight information while reading a PDF document

Hello everyone
it seems that the available tools to read PDF documents from Java don't allow to get font weight informations about the tokens read from PDF.
I need to know if a character is bold in order to recognize if it could be part of a paragraph's title.
is there a way to keep this information? (now I'm using PDFBox but it seems to allow only to get the PDF content as plain text, without keeping this kind of font weight info...)
thanks sincerely a lot
to anyone who would be so kind to help me
;)

I've already read the wiki and the examples about iText, and also the two free tutorial chapters, but it seems iText doesn't allow to check the font character of a pre-existing PDF document,,it only allows to create document with a specified font but this is not what I needWell, to tell you the truth, I don't do much with PDF, myself, I only believe (from anecdotal evidence) that iText is much better than PDFBox. Have you downloaded it and tried a few things, or just read some of the docu? I am fairly sure that if you designate a font, there is probably a way to retreive this font as well, although not necessarily. Download it and play around a bit.

In most cases a swatch contains definitions of a colour in a non-separation colour space, such as a CMYK. In this case the name does not become part of the PDF.
Only if it is a separation colour space does the name become part of the PDF (since it is, by definition, what the colour is - the name of the ink). DeviceN colour spaces also contain named colours.

How to get exact height of HTML line with SUB tag in JTextPane?

Hi, this is my first post. I`ve been searching forum for an answer for a week, but didn`t find one.
I have HTMLDocument inside JTextPane(exacty inside my class that extends it - MyTextPane). I want to do some custom painting in JTextPane so I need to be able to know exact pixel witdh for each line in the document. Easy except one thing, when I use SUB tag the width of the line cannot be simply calculated using FontMetrics, because I don`t know if the text inside SUB tag has lower font size and I don`t know its Y offset to normal line.
I tried get these information from HTMLDocument using attributes from leafElements representing lines, but there seems to be a problem too.
I pass this text:
"(1) LinejW (2) TextB"
to setText method of MyTextPane, this method is overriden so it changes text Font
public void setText(String s) {
super.setText(s);
setJTextPaneFont(this, new Font("Arial",Font.PLAIN,36), Color.black);
}This is how the Element Structure looks like:
Format is Element +": "+elementText+"|"+fontFamily+" "+fontSize
BranchElement(html) 0,22: \n(1)?LinejW (2)?TextB\n|Monospaced 12
---BranchElement(head) 0,1: \n|Monospaced 12
------BranchElement(p-implied) 0,1: \n|Monospaced 12
---------LeafElement(content) 0,1: \n|Arial 36
---BranchElement(body) 1,22: (1) LinejW (2) TextB\n|Monospaced 12
------BranchElement(p-implied) 1,22: (1) LinejW (2) TextB\n|Monospaced 12
---------LeafElement(content) 1,9: (1) Line|Arial 36
---------LeafElement(content) 9,11: jW|Arial 36 <-----------THIS IS THE LOWER INDEX
---------LeafElement(content) 11,12: |Arial 36 <-----------THIS IS just space character '\u020'
---------LeafElement(content) 12,21: (2) TextB|Arial 36
---------LeafElement(content) 21,22: \n|Arial 36
The height of Arial 36 is according to FontMetrics 43(and it really is), but height of the lowerIndex is just 40 pixels(on the screen), not 43 as I would expect. And I still dont have offset, where does the lower index starts paint itself.
Is there any problem with my setText method, so that it changes font style for LOWER INDEX?
I am using JTextPane as notEditable, with just one font style for entire document.
Any suggestion?

Is there any other way to get these information. I just found that I need that information before I put text it in the document.
For example I am would like to generate lines:
paragraph1 - text1
 text2
paragraph2 - text1
 text2
 text3
paragraph3some note - text1
 text2
normal text line
I know what font line will be and I know its AttributeSet. I am trying to get appropriate number of spaces (or left indent) for text2,text3...lines. Then I will pass that string to setText method of JTextPane.
I am unable to get appropriate width for "paragraph3some note - ", since text in SUB tag uses probably different font size.
I am really sorry to bother again. I will think twice what I need before I posting.
You`ve been very helpful so far Stas.
Thanks.

How to get width/height of a movie clip in CreateJs?

In AS3.0 it is like:
      mc.width and mc.height
In AS2.0 it is like:
      mc._width and mc._height
What about createJs
    mc.????

The answer is get "nominalBounds" and then get width and height:
var bounds = mc.nominalBounds;
bounds.width will give you width and
bounds.height will give you height
Thanks

Trying to figure out how to get font sizes in textfield to show up right

This is a flash question it just gets a little complicated.
Running into a cross platform problem.
I have a microsoft .NET application that I created to draw graphics. I put the properties of the drawn object into a database.
I then read the properties into flash and dynamically build the objects that were drawn in microsoft.net with actionscript.
The problem I'm running into is I'm using the Microsoft gdi+ model to draw text in my development environment with a specific font size in points.
When I translate that over into flash, my runtime environment the font size appears smaller.
Note:
I'm using a textfield object and setting the htmltext property to create the text. Then I'm using the bitmapdata object to convert
the textfield into a bitmap. I do this for a couple of reasons.
I can get the fonts to match closely If I multiply the font size of the textfield by 1.50.
For example
var fontsize:number = DatabaseFontsize * 1.50;
this gets my fontsize close for the textfield.
However with certain fonts this does not work. Any help would be appreciated
Am I posting this in the wrong place??

I'm having very similar issues to LarryET above. I followed the directions from TominqueBo_VZW, but I could uninstall the updates only. Even uninstalling those and reinstalling them, I have no improvement. My greatest issue is the lack of pictures from the contacts. Some show, others don't with no discernable common thread.

[SOLVED] How to get fonts in Arch like they are in Ubuntu now?

I'm already using ubuntu font packages, and using the same options (/etc/fonts/conf.d looks 99% same), but fonts in Ubuntu look more sharp.
I can't figure out where is the difference in configuration.

Not sure how to get font anti-aliasing

I'm trying to make my desktop a little prettier.
My WM is XMonad, and my terminal is urxvt-256-unicode-color. I just don't really know where to start - is something like this handled on a system level? Is it something I configure X to do? Or is it something my WM does? Or do I have to configure each app?
All I'm going to use this system for is Firefox, vim and terminal stuff, so I don't mind if I can't do this universally.

How can I get Font Book to install new fonts with Lion OS X without crashing?

Font Book is unresponsive using Lion 10.7.1. When I click on Font Book icon in the dock, I get "Application not Responding". Can't install any new fonts. Anyone else having this issue?
I can get to the open Font Book window if I click on Mission Control to get there, but once there I see spinning wheel, which does not stop.
Any suggestions on how to get Font Book to work well on Lion?

Quick update... I removed all non System fonts from ~/Library/Fonts and deleted com.apple.fontbook.plist from ~/Library/Preferences.
Now FontBook doesn't crash when launched.
I think I'm going to use a 3rd party application to manage all non Apple/System fonts. Hopefully that will avoid any future problems.

Get the height of a report to use for setting height of subreport

I am getting an error: Invalid Section Height   on one of my subreports
that I am programmatically inserting into a report. I have not set the
subreport height, I thought that it would be automatically set if I didn't
set it.   I am measuring the width of a section in the report I am using
for a subreport to use as the Width for the subreport, but not sure how
to get the height of the report.   It appears this needs to be in pixels.
I have manually tried setting it to 14400, which I believe is 11" and I ge an invalid section height error.
How do I get the height for the subreport???
I am using VB.Net 2008, Crystal 2008, Vista Buisiness.   - All the latest service packs of everything.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
The easiest way to figure this out is to test it in the Crystal Reprot Designer first. Bascially you can't set the subreport higth larger than the report page itself. CR needs to allocate space for the Page header and footer then Group header/footer and detail sections. There are options when designing this in CR Designer which will allow you to span more than one page. The simplest way is to design a template report in Crystal Report Designer so you can see all the options required to make this work. Then you can set the same in code when inserting.
Remember "If it can't be done in the Report Designer it can't be done in code" The Designer uses the same set of API's as .NET. By using a test report you can then see what settings are being configured when you get the info in code.
It believe you simply need to set the Can Grow options. Test this in the Designer then update us if you have any more questions.
Thank you
