How to insert markee on a graphic object?
I am very new to video. I work with Final Cut Pro Express.
I watched a broadcast news edit that I want to do in FCPE, which follows: two items:
You take any graphic, a building, a bridge any static object and you neatly superimpose the name or some graphic text message within the graphic. The last one I saw was a stop sign, where it changed into the message they wanted to send..."STOP then it change to "Cancer". The word fit neatly into the octagon of the sign. It works even better on buildings, bridges and other objects.
The second item is easier to spot, NASCAR, where there is a text box that follows the car with stats on the car, driver, etc.
Can anyone tell me how this is accomplished on broadcast news, even though I may not be able to do it at my level of expertise on FCPE.
Any, any information would be helpful.
Thanks.

This is done most easily by exporting a still of the video to an application like Photoshop, and in that application modifying the image for use in the video, reimporting both the original and modified version of the image back into FCP and then transitioning between them - or creating a Matte in Photoshop that allows you to perfectly replace a section of video with another within FCP, by using video layers and the Composite Modes of those video layers.
The second item is easier to spot, NASCAR, where there is a text box that follows the car with stats on the car, driver, etc.
This is very sophisticated technology, and more information can be found here:

How can I tell if a Graphics object has been disposed
Any ideas?
ThanksMy goal is to find out if a graphics object has been disposed or not...
...but I'll play along. the application offers the user some nice graphics to amuse them, I use the Graphics object. In my endeavours, something isn't getting displayed where I expect it to, and I suspect that somewhere I'm accidentally disposing the graphics object. So, like checking for nulls, I want to debug the application and make sure the graphics context is as I expect.
A bit of a side note, SWT will throw an exception if you try and use a "graphics" type object that has been disposed and has a method called, unsurprisingly enough, isDisposed(). Can you guess what it returns? -
How to get name of a graphic object
Hi all,
i created various grids and graphic obejcts in a splitter container.
Now i want to set focus ( cl_gui_control=>set_focus )on the graphics objects, but i dont know the control names. for the grid this is no problem, but as i created the graphics with the FM 'GFW_PRES_SHOW' i dont know their names..
so, is there a simple way to get these object names?
best regards
dennis

Dennis AbmeierHi Ralf,
thanks for your reply!
The container name doesnt help me, i tried already to focus the container. I think the problem is, that i have created 4 instances of different object types in the splitter container, so the focus is always on the first created instance (Layer?) in the container or the last focussed. As i write, focus the manually created instances(Grids) is no problem because i know their names.
So what i need is the name of FM generated (Graphic) instance which lies in the splitter-container. -
How to set tool tips for graphic objects.
Hi
i have a code like this
here dst is graphic object but i casted ti Graphic2D object because i have to set back ground color.
Graphics2D lGraphic = (Graphics2D) dst;
lGraphic.setBackground(Color.RED);
lGraphic.clearRect((int) lx, (int) ly, (int) lw + 1, (int) lh + 1);
lGraphic.drawRect(0, 0, (int) lw, (int) lh);
so now i want to set a tool tip for this lGraphic Object.
can any body please post answer for this proble.
if you will post in advance it will help me a lot.so now i want to set a tool tip for this lGraphic Object.Your concepts are all wrong. Read the API for java.awt.Graphics and try to understand that a Graphics object is akin to a paintbrush: it has methods to draw whatever is to be drawn. The painting is not the brush, the brush does the painting.
To obtain a custom tooltip at certain locations within a JComponent, I think the easiest way is to override getToolTipText(MouseEvent me). The method can return null for locations where a tooltip is not to be shown.

How to insert into collection type of objects?
Hello,
Can any one help with the follwoing code below,where i cant insert into an instance of the table type within the pl/sql block.

create type student as object
(name varchar2(20),
courses courselist);

How to insert the data using SyncoBo Object
Hi ,
please provide the code for inserting the data such tat my meRepMeta.xml
contains
one Top Row
4 Child Row
i done the coding for inserting top rowHi Saravana,
I am not sure about the query based on sync_key value but i am suggesting the code snippet that you can use to get the SyncBo by the SyncBoName and SyncKey.
public SyncBo getSyncBoInstance(String syncBoName, String syncKey) {
SyncBoDescriptor sbd = descriptorFacade.getSyncBoDescriptor(syncBoName);
try {
SyncBo sb = dataFacade.getSyncBo(sbd, syncKey);
return sb;
} catch (PersistenceException pex) {
System.out.println(pex.getMessage());
return null;
Based on the SyncBo value from the previous code snippet , you can obtain the rowCollection thru this method.
public RowCollection[] getRows()
throws PersistenceException
Ex:
sb.getRows()
Once you obtain the RowCollection for the particular syncBo,you can iterate thru rowCollection to get the row entities.
//To get the iterator of the Row entities in this RowCollection.
MeIterator it = rowList.iterator();
From each row entity you can get the field values by this method
public MeIterator getFieldValues()
I would suggest you to go through the API Doc which is clearly explained about all the methods which would be useful for you to do all sort of operation.

How to change font/ font color etc in a graphic object using JCombobox?
Hello
My program im writing recently is a small tiny application which can change fonts, font sizes, font colors and background color of the graphics object containing some strings. Im planning to use Jcomboboxes for all those 4 ideas in implementing those functions. Somehow it doesnt work! Any help would be grateful.
So currently what ive done so far is that: Im using two classes to implement the whole program. One class is the main class which contains the GUI with its components (Jcomboboxes etc..) and the other class is a class extending JPanel which does all the drawing. Therefore it contains a graphics object in that class which draws the string. However what i want it to do is using jcombobox which should contain alit of all fonts available/ font sizes/ colors etc. When i scroll through the lists and click the one item i want - the graphics object properties (font sizes/ color etc) should change as a result.
What ive gt so far is implemented the jcomboboxes in place. Problem is i cant get the font to change once selecting an item form it.
Another problem is that to set the color of font - i need to use it with a graphics object in the paintcomponent method. In this case i dnt want to create several diff paint.. method with different property settings (font/ size/ color)
Below is my code; perhaps you'll understand more looking at code.
public class main...
Color[] Colors = {Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN};
ColorList = new JComboBox(Colors);
ColorList.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)ev.getSource();
Color colorType = (Color)cb.getSelectedItem();
drawingBoard.setBackground(colorType);
});;1) providing the GUI is correctly implemented with components
2) Combobox stores the colors in an array
3) ActionListener should do following job: (but cant get it right - that is where my problem is)
- once selected the item (color/ font size etc... as i would have similar methods for each) i want, it should pass the item into the drawingboard class (JPanel) and then this class should do the job.
public class DrawingBoard extends JPanel {
private String message;
public DrawingBoard() {
setBackground(Color.white);
Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, fontSize);
setFont(font);
message = "";
public void setMessage(String m) {
message = m;
repaint();
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
//setBackground(Color.RED);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setRenderingHint
g2.drawString(message, 50, 50);
public void settingFont(String font) {
//not sure how to implement this? //Jcombobox should pass an item to this
//it should match against all known fonts in system then set that font to the graphics
private void settingFontSize(Graphics g, int f) {
//same probelm with above..
public void setBackgroundColor(Color c) {
setBackground(c);
repaint(); // still not sure if this done corretly.
public void setFontColor(Color c) {
//not sure how to do this part aswell.
//i know a method " g.setColor(c)" exist but i need to use a graphics object - and to do that i need to pass it in (then it will cause some confusion in the main class (previous code)
My problems have been highlighted in the comments of code above.
Any help will be much appreciated thanks!!!It is the completely correct code
I hope that's what you need
Just put DrawingBoard into JFrame and run
Good luck!
public class DrawingBoard extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
private String message = "message";
private Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 10);
private Color color = Color.RED;
private Color bg = Color.WHITE;
private int size = 10;

cbFont.setActionCommand("font");
JComboBox cbSize = new JComboBox(new Integer[]{new Integer(14), new Integer(13)});
cbSize.setActionCommand("size");
JComboBox cbColor = new JComboBox(new Color[]{Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN});
cbColor.setActionCommand("color");
JComboBox cbBG = new JComboBox(new Color[]{Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN});
cbBG.setActionCommand("bg");

cbFont.addActionListener(this);

public void setMessage(String m){
message = m;
repaint();
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setColor(bg);//set background color
g2.fillRect(0,0, getWidth(), getHeight());
g2.setColor(color);//set text color
FontRenderContext frc = g2.getFontRenderContext();
TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(message,font,frc);//set font and message
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
at.setToTranslation(getWidth()/2-tl.getBounds().getWidth()/2,
getWidth()/2 + tl.getBounds().getHeight()/2);//set text at center of panel
g2.fill(tl.getOutline(at));

How To Insert A object into Conext
Hi Techies,

And how to insert a object into a context that is not referencing any table.
For Example I have an object like "rownum" (Which should must be added at Universe level only not at report level). Here this object is not referencing any table and I want this to be used in a query where the remaining objects are coming from the context..
Thanks in Advance..Double-click the Objects and click the TABLES button and select the table you want to associate the object to for the context to work properly (see below).

How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.

// Fill background
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// Create random polygon
Polygon poly = new Polygon();
Random random = new Random();
for (int i=0; i < 5; i++) {
poly.addPoint(random.nextInt(width),

How does one Float a Graphic Object with Text? (Don't want the Graphics Frame stationary)
I now know just enough InDesign to be dangerous. So, help me from blowing myself up.
SITUATION:
I desire a Callout/Quote Box to emphase a quote--to separate it from the flowing text of the manuscript. So, I created a curved-edge rectangle (graphic object) to make the "box", then filled it with the quoted text). All was well in the land of Adobe Novice UNTIL I deleted some text above the newly-created graphic box/quote box. I need the graphic to flow with (stay embedded in; hold its position in) the text outside the manuscript, not say anchored to page.
QUESTION:
Is there a way to have a graphic object which is placed in a manuscript flow with the manuscript text, so that it "holds its position" relative to the text. For example, if I delete a paragraph of text above the graphic object, I want the graphic object to adjust accordingly.
ASIDE:
I am open to any other tricks or methods others use to insert callout or quote-boxes within the flowing text of a manuscript/book.
Thanks in advance.Create your callout. If you will use it often, you can actually grab it and drag it to the desktop for reuse in any Document; it becomes an InDesign Snippet (.inds).
Copy the callout graphic, insert your text curser into the text frame where you want the callout. You've just Anchored an Object.
This is where you want to read up on Anchored Objects. You can highlight and baseline shift the callout (often necessay for anchored objects) , change leading, apply text wrap with standoff (you would select it with the selection tool for this), all of which are way beyond what I have ever tried, but managed it in less than 3 minutes. Basically treat it as a selection of type. The challenges will be line breaks, keep with, gosh knows.
Bob mentioned CS5.5 has more friendly features, which I am not familiar with, and are beyond quick replies.
Work through the above at your discretion, ask more DIRECT questions as needed, and you will get help. -
How must I initialize a graphics object?
Hi,
I've a problem with Graphics Abstract class;
how must I do to initialize a Graphics object?
I must execute this code:
Graphics gr;
gr.drawString("Image",30,0);
gr.drawString("not",30,30);
gr.drawString("Found",30,60);
image.paintIcon(null,gr,0,0);
the compiler returns my the error:
"gr not initialized"
How can I do to initialize this last?
Thank.Or you can call getGraphics() on any Component, but most likely you will do any graphics in the paint method as tjacobs said.

How can I run graphic object on report. ( I got REP-1246 Chart not found)
Hi All,
I made a report that consists a chart object. When I run it on report builder, it works well. But When I call the report from client side, I got "Rep-1246 Char Document not found" . I tried to solve it , I couldn't solve the problem . If I delete chart object from report , then report works well on client side. I didn't use graphics builder to create graphs I used only report builder to do it. I read the threads about it , but I couldn't find the solution. All solutions are about path of graphic file. I don't understand it. Because I only have *.rdf *.rep file. There is no any graph file in my system. I can create it in graphic builder but I don't know how can I deploy the graph object into report layout and run ?
I need urgent help ..
Thanks in advice
SuleymanHi again , I used developer 2000. In order to show graphic object on report firstly
I created my graphic object on oracle graph builder.After that I save it like mygraph.OGD . Then I added graphic object on report builder by using graphic object on report builder. When you click the graphic object you will see CHART FILENAME part in part of CHART. In this field , you should add graphic file path that you created on graphic builder. I added mygraph.OGD into this filename part. I worked well.

Need help about how to capture the name of an object before inserting.
Hi everybody,
how i can capture the name of an object before it inserts in a table.
i will use a pre-insert trigger to do this, but i don't know how to specify the name of the object that's inserting.
any help about this issue will be appreciated.Mentioning objects you mean: You have a procedure which inserts data into some table and this procedure needs to know the name of the caller (another procedure or ...)
