MFC: Draw rectangle inside a rectangle

Hi,
I have drawn a rectangle:
dc.Rectangle(10,10,200,100);
Now i want to draw rectangle inside it by reducing 10 from each side. i.e the new rectangle will be: CRect(20,20,190,90).
I am manually adjusting the co-ordinate, Is there any API to do this.
offsetRect() is not solving my issue.
Thanks

Just write yourself a function and use it as needed. Programming is not manual work; the computer does the heavy lifting.
Edit: Actually, I think CRect::DeflateRect() does what you want.

Want to draw some rectangles inside a swing panel object

HI,
I want to draw some rectangles inside one JPanel object in swing. The JPanel object should also hold some buttons, labels, etc.. I can add simple buttons, label etc. easily to the panel object but how do I add graphics (like lines, rectangles) to it ??
an immediate response would be highly appreciated!!

I am not sure why you are talking about the rectangle.
To repeat I fill in a bit of code (subject to compiler errors since I Do not have a machine where I can compile or test on at the moment):
private class ColourCube extends JPanel
     // The size of each rectangle with colour
     private static final int ROWS = 10;
     private static final int COLS = 10;
     // To store current selection
     private int selectedIndex[] = null;
     public ColourCube()
         addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me)
               // Find the rectangle index by dividing
               // x and y positions then set selectedIndex
               // unless it is the same positions as previous
               // then set it to be null
               fireActionEvent();
     // needed listener methods for firing events
     public void addActionListener( ActionListener al)
        // add to list
     // remove etc....
     protected void fireActionEvent()
        // Construct action event
        // call actionPerformed( ae ) on all listeners
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
         // Depending on size and height of this component
         // calculate out colWidth and rowHeight
         // Loop and paint the rectangles in their different colours
         for(int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
            for(int j = 0; j < COLS; j++)
               // set the colour to the graphics object here from the list of colours available
               g.setColor( ... );
               // Added a little bit extra to have some space between
               // each rectangle
               g.fillRect( i * rowHeight + 1, j * colWidth + 1, colWidth - 2, rowHeight - 2 );
         if( selectedIndex != null )
            // We have a selection, lets paint the selection
            g.setColor( Color.white ); // Selection colour
            // The index contains the row in index 0 and the col in index 1
            g.drawRect( selectedIndex[0] * rowHeight, selectedIndex[1] * colWidth, colWidth, rowHeight );
}Lacking from the above component is lacking stuff like preferedSize.
Now, all you do is instantiate the ColourChooser, add it to your applet iether by drag and drop if you have an WYSIWYG editor, or by hand if you are so inclined.
Voila! A composite component appears, doing the stuff it needs to be doing.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Draw Rectangle to Canvas ?

I am finding that working with drawing shape in Java is a bit hard to understand. I am hoping someone can help me out. I have wanting to draw a simple Rectangle to a Canvas. I am hoping that will give the user the look that a Rectangle has been drawn to the screen and not inside of a JFrame or anything like that.
Here is my code that does not seam to work.
Canvas can;
Graphics g2;
Rectangle r;
public void drawShape()
       can = createCanvas();
       g2 = can.getGraphics();
       g2.drawRect(0, 0, 640, 480);
//create canvas that I call from another class
public Canvas createCanvas( )
          r.width = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
          r.height = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
          r.x = 0;
          r.y = 0;
          if(box == null)
               box = new Canvas();
               box.setBounds(r);
          return box;
     }

Draw rectangle with rmi

Dear friends
I do I draw a simple square in rmi?
thanks

RuiAranhaJava wrote:
ejp...posting an interface doesn't help and I don't want no one to do my work...
The simple question is to draw a rectangle or circle in a frame...but one of the problems is that draw (Graphics g) is abstract and must be implemented in a abstract class (I can't even declare the function).
what I really need is a small example to understand how to do this... I really want to understand...
Thankssounds like you would be better off posting in the AWT or "new to java" forums. you are currently posting in the RMI forums which is for questions related to remote communication, not questions related to drawing rectangles. once you figure out how to draw a rectangle, if you still need some sort of remote communication help, i'd recommend reading some RMI tutorials. then, if you have a specific question related to remote communication in java, come back here and ask it.

Fabulous program!
I'd like to add more function,but stuck at the right click when the mouse pointing to the node.I want to show the popup menu when user right-clicks at the node,but show error message when he left-click(means he try to draw another node on the top of that node).
The program seems act properly when mouse is pressed,but error dialog pops and blocks the mouseReleased action.Thanks in advance!

Control of drawing rectangle (links, cropping, etc.)

For some reason, I don't have precise control over drawing rectangles (for adding links or cropping) to PDF documents in Acrobat 9.0 Pro. I used to!
I can still create these boxes, but they are much more rigid control-wise, almost like a "snapping" feature is activated. If links are close together on the PDF, it's hard to make them so they don't overlap.
Does this make sense? Advice?

Under View make sure Snap to grid is turned off.

"I want to draw a line, and it will highlight when I click it."

I am currently working on a project right now. My project is a structural analysis software for civil engineers. Our project is already at it's infant
stage of development. I am having trouble with how to implement drawing on a canvas. Heres the specs:
-There are nodes on the drawing board illustrated by dots.
-Lines must be drawn connecting the nodes.
-Nodes must be a separate object where it could respond to mouse
events.
-Lines must also be a separate object where it could respond to mouse
events.
-Nodes and lines contain mathematical attributes, color information.
-I can instantly delete a line, or change its attributes by selecting
it.
Heres what I have imagined:
-I am going to draw my Nodes in a JPanel which implements a
mouseListener.
-Whenever I want to add nodes to the drawing board, I only have to add
the Node objects i created.
No problem with the nodes. Problem is in the lines i will be drawingconnecting one node to another.
-I tried manual live drawing of the lines as the mouse moves. Now its
flat on the drawing board. It can't be touched!
-I still don't have any idea how to implement the line that it could
respond to mouse events.
-If I try to draw it in a JPanel with mouseListener, a JPanel is square
so if I move my mouse to point in to the line drawn on the JPanel, it
will already respond before the mouse could reach the line image. One
thing also, it could overlap other JPanels.
-The JPanel idea came up to my mind coz I thought these objects could
be
selectable custom components.
-Now I realized JPanel is not the ANSWER!
In simple saying:
"I want to draw a line, and it will highlight when I click it."

Wireframe view in indesign like coreldraw

Hi all,
I have a query. i.e., is there any way to view the pages in wireframe view like coreldraw, as it makes easy to view all the objects and texts in the page.
Or else is there any other way we can view all the objects placed in a page, behind or with transparency etc., just for checking purpose that any unwanted objects is there, which can affect while printing.
thanks

Well, I work for a huge, global company and we frequently have to edit OTHER artists' files. Some artists have very strange ways of building a complicated file and revealing layers is not always enough to discover what "junk" is hidden on a page.
I work in translation & localization, and I have seen everything, from files created by designers in "huge, global" companies all the way down to the mom & pop print shop down the street. I've handled InDesign files that started as idml written out of a database, InDesign files that started as PageMaker 5 files that were incrementally updated over the years, you name it.
I think that a wireframe view would be useful to people like you and me, but may I suggest an edit to your commentary? A classic copyeditor's comment: change from passive to active voice.
"It IS needed" -> "I NEED it."
If you want to trade tips on forensic disassembly & reassembly of crazy InDesign files, I'm game. But fighting with these guys over what the priorities of the engineers over at Adobe ought to be is a losing proposition for all parties. Who signs the paychecks for those engineers? It's not anybody in this thread, I think.
(OTOH, this thread led to the words "Bob's Software & Tanline Company" being posted. That was definitely needed.)

One more thing, since you're using the Draw Rectangle function you need to deal with the cases where the rectangle is not drawn from top left to bottom right. You have to make sure the minimum X value goes to the LEFT input and the minimum Y value goes to the TOP input of the rect terminal of the Draw Rectangle vi. Use the Max & Min function from the comparison palette for this.

Thak you

Now that I am addressing the path items and text items of the group separately I am having some success. Now I am having difficulty getting the correct terms for assigning a Spot Color to the file. Here is a piece of the script.
This works:
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set openDoc to document 1
set ftClr1 to (first group item whose note is "Front3") of openDoc
set ftClr1Paths to path items of ftClr1
repeat with thisPath in ftClr1Paths
set fill color of thisPath to {red:255}
end repeat
set textFrames to text frames of ftClr1
repeat with thistext in textFrames
set fill color of every line of thistext to {red:255}
end repeat
end tell
Need help to set the fill color to a Spot Color that already exists in Swatches.
Thanks
Nick
