How to set a frame size

Hi
I am tring to create a window with some menus on it. I have set a size to the window as (400,400). The trouble is when the application is run a small sized window is displayed on the top left corner as opposed to a 400*400 window. Although I can drag the widow to expand it, I was wondering if there was a way to set window's size.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

How to set the frame size?

Hi,
Can some one show me how to set the frame size in this program? History: I have created a window and added a button but its to small. So I want to increase the size of the frame to at least 600X400 pixel.
private static void showGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("ButtonDemo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Create and set up the content pane.
        Main newContentPane = new Main();
        newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
        frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }It would be nice if you could show me how to do it.
Thank you very much for reading this.

Simply adding
frame.setSize(new Dimension(600,400));to the end of your code should work perfectly.Or, if you want to do it correctly, .setPreferredSize() on your frame before you .pack() it. The default layout manager for JFrame is BorderLayout, which uses the preferredSize of each component to calculate sizes during the .pack() call.

How to set proper frame size in Sequence in FCE

Hi there. I'm trying to import and edit some Nikon video, which is 1280 x 720. It seems to import fine, and each clip retains its proper size. But the sequence is not the right size. It seems to be set at an automatic 720x480 and no matter what I do I can seem to get it to change.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, that seemed to work. I'm using FCE 4.
Now, I also have some 1080p footage from Canon. I guess I have to reset the easysetup in order to keep it the right size. I notice it only offers 1080i. Will that be a problem?

How do you set the frame size?

Trying to set a frame size for 1920px X 1080px but can't see where to set this in a new project?

Frame dimensions are a property of the sequence, not the project. A project can contain multiple sequences with different properties.
File>New>Sequence opens a dialog where you can choose a preset or configure custom settings. Several of the preset groups have 1920x1080 options.
Asssuming you have footage of those dimensions that you'll be using in the sequence, then you can simply create a sequence from an asset. Either drag it to the New Item button in the Project panel's lower right corner, or right-click it and select New Sequence from Clip.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

How to set the fix size jframe window

when I run the jframe ,the jframe window size is very small
1)how to set the fix size jframe window??
2)how to set the jframe cannot change the window size??
thx~~

1. You can set the size by calling JFrame's method setSize. There are two versions of this method: (1) setSize(int width, int height) and (2) setSize(Dimension d). Note, that when you use this method to set the frame size, you don't have to call JFrame's pack method.
2. JFrame has a method called setResizable(boolean resizable) which you can call with the argument false.
Without any ill intent, these questions are regarding something that is very easily answered by looking at the documentation for the JFrame class. I suggest to anyone working with swing to at least look briefly through the base classes they're extending before giving up. In my experience it is always more gratifying to figure things out on my own than asking someone. But please don't take this the wrong way, I respect people who seek out help in order to further their knowledge, instead of just giving up.

That's pretty much all there is, although you could always add a componentlistener and manually not let the size go below your minimum.
Or you could try overriding setSize...

How to set the stack size for alchemy application?

Anybody know how to set the stack size for alchemy application?
If you know, please tell me how to adjust the stack size for alchemy application?

Hi,
The stack size is set as public const gstackSize in the alchemy generated code. You can see this if you build with ACHACKS_TMPS set. The default is one megabyte.
One way to change the stack size is to use llvm-dis to disassemble avm2-libc/lib/avm2-libc.l.bc, generating avm2-libc.l.ll, modify the constant, and then use llvm-as to recompile your modified library and overwrite the old one. These utilities should be in your path if alchemy is set up.

CR 2008 SDK: how to set custom paper size?

Dear forum users, I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 2008 SDK to print barcode labels to a Datamax Printer.
The printer uses a custom page size. Can anyone tell me how to set custom page size and margins using C# and CR2008 SDK?
Best regards
Alessandro

I'm experiencing this problem: I need to print barcode labels which are 4 x 9 cm each (a custom paper size). The report has been build correctly, orientation is right but when I print the labels programmatically by an application I made the label gets printed in a wrong way.
In particular, orientation and paper size are not correct.
So I would like to try to force both of them (both the orientation and the custom paper size). How can I do that?
Best regards
Alessandro
