IMAQ Overlay Text.vi: "User-specified Font" ignored

I'm trying to use "IMAQ Overlay Text.vi" use draw a fixed-width tag on an image. In my trials so far, I cannot determine how to use any other font but the default. The "User-specified Font" choice appears to ignore my font requests, but does use my size and bold settings.
What I've tried so far:
Use LabVIEW to tell me font names via the application drop-down menu, and then type one in verbatim into the "Font Name" component of the "User Specified Font" cluster.
Use another Windows program (like Write.exe) to give me font names, and then typing one in verbatim as before.
Use a nonsense font name to provoke some kind of "font not found" error, but none were raised.
This third data point makes me think that a default font is selected if the user's is not found. How do I learn which font names this VI will use? LabVIEW can see and use the font I want, but not IMAQ :-(
I have LabVIEW 2009 with the 2012 Vision Development Module.
Solved!

Check the built in example.. It works.
Excellent! Thanks for your reply :-)
I can confirm that switching from "IMAQ Overlay Text.vi" (and "IMAQ Merge Overlay.vi") to "IMAQ Draw Text.vi" uses the font I specify by name on the Front Panel. This will suit my needs
I have two points for NI engineers and I would like a response:
Does "IMAQ Overlay Text.vi" have any outstanding bug reports about this behavior? Or, am I doing something wrong?
Please make your examples easier to discover and find. With help from Silver_Shaper, I was able to find the example, but the directions on your website are incomplete and misleading. To experience the frustration first hand, follow the link in Silver_Shaper's post and read and follow the text.
You will find that it is incomplete: the article takes you halfway there, pointing you to to "Help » Find Examples... » Toolkits and Modules", but doesn't follow through and ask you to expand "Vision » Functions" before you find the example.
But once you're there, you will also find that the article is misleading. The article is called "Overlay Text on Image" and the same title is used in the overview, but on disk it is called "DrawText Example.vi" and the real name can only be found in the front panel image.
Please confirm the bug or my misunderstanding of "IMAQ Overlay Text.vi", and please confirm that you will update that article.

  • NI-IMAQ overlay

    I want to know if the "Overlay Sub-Palette" (mainly IMAQ Merge Overlay and IMAQ Overlay Text) is a part of NI-IMAQ or NI-Vision.  I don't have to acquire image. I just want to write text on a huge image and the picture control functions are too slow for my application.

  • How do I get specific font to ALWAYS appear in text field whether user has font on computer or not?

    I am designing a simple form to be used as template for OTHER people to type up room signs. We would like the signs to be in a specific font that is not generally loaded on the average computer, and we do not want to have to distribute fonts to a gazillion people. My thought was to create a LiveCycle from, whereby the room user could type their name and title in the text fields on the form, and in theory, it would appear in the font I chose for the text field. I have tried various things, but it always gets substituted by the user's computer.
    Tried: Choosing "rich text" for field format in Object palette; choosing "Embed fonts" in "Save Options"; tried static form, tried dynamic form.  It could be that my test user has such an old version of Reader that it just CANNOT work.
    Thanks!

    The restrictions are listed as "normal." And it does appear as embedded when I go to the document properties, though it didn't until I used it for the text on the form (as apposed to just using in the text fields.) And when another user opens the form, the text appears in the specified font, but once they type in the text field, it defaults to different font.
    BTW, it is an Open Type Font, if that makes any difference.

  • Multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms

    multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms
    Instead of creating multiple forms, 1 in each different language, for the same service, is there any workaround?

    Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.

  • How to reduce the font size - "Portal Smart Text - CURRENT USER"

    Hi Gurus,
    I am showing the user name on the top left corner of our portal page. The default font size is little big(16 point size). How can I reduce the size to probably 10. I am using the "Built-In Navigation Item Types - Portal Smart Text - CURRENT USER" which shows the name of the current user. Please post a reply if you have any idea about this.
    Thanks
    Raj
    --------

    Put the item in its own region, assign a different style to the region, and set the font size for the Display Name attribute in the region's style.
    Or, you can use a PL/SQL item with this code:
    begin
    htp.p('<font size="-3">
    || portal.wwctx_api.get_user
    || '</font>');
    end;

  • Trying to overlay text onto images and save them.

    What I want: I have a computer running the media in my car and I want to hook up a camera to it that'll record when the computer is running and overlay the GPS speed onto the video for later viewing.
    What I got: I have the following piece of code that saves a series of .jpg images at a specified frame rate and a separate Java application that puts them together into a .mov file to view later. I couldn't find anything to record the straight video so if you have any links for that, please point me. But for now I'll settle for doing it this way and I'm not too concerned with the GPS speed NMEA parsing for now, I'll just use a static speed label until I get the overlaying working.
    What I need: I need to know what to plug into the speedOverlay() method in order to grab the image and put the speed on top of it before saving it and moving to the next image. Any ideas?

    Sorry guys, I haven't looked at your links yet but I will, once I get some time to sit down and code again. I just wanted to provide this piece of code that uses the Graphics2d you're talking about to overlay text onto an image but I haven't been able to plug it into my code at all. If you're links answer the question, I'm sorry, just providing it until I can actually sit down and spend time on the research you've given me. Thanks.

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,

  • Can Acrobat 10 Pro rotate a page by a user-specified amount?

    I scanned some pages of text but they didn't feed into the scanner perfectly straight, so when I open the pages they're rotated clockwise by about 1 or 2 degrees. I'd like to rotate them counter-clockwise by 1 or 2 degrees so that the lines of text are perfectly horizontal.
    I have Acrobat 9 and it can rotate pages by only 90 or 180 degrees. For those of you who have Acrobat 10, could you check and see if it offers the option for the user to specify an angle for page rotation? Or does it still support only 90 and 180 degree rotation?
    If Version 10 supports user-specified page rotation then I'd have a reason to upgrade (are you listening, Adobe?).
    Thanks,
    Scott

    You are overlooking the deskew option under Optimize Scanned PDF. That will automatically align the page.

  • Sending Rich Text Emails - Default Message font doesn't work!

    I have just set up Mail to compose Rich Text emails as default which seems to have worked okay. However, I have set the default Message font as 'Arial' and it doesn't seem to work when sent to Microsoft Outlook. However if I set the text to a different font and then back to arial when composing it works fine.
    I just looked at the raw source of the email and it doesn't actually state in the HTML that the font is set to Arial by default, only when it is manually changes when composing. It may display correctly in Mail but with more users on a windows based machine using outlook this is no good! I don't want to have to change the font manually every time!
    Anyone got a fix for this?

    Are there no fixes for this?
    In my eyes this is a major problem and certainly something that is making me consider moving away from Mail...

  • IMAQ overlay Line Thickness

    Hi,
    I have used IMAQ overlay to map two line onto an image. But I want to change the thickness of these lines and couldn't figure out any way. Help is appreciated.
    Regards.

    It looks like IMAQ Overlay Line doesn't let you specify line thickness.  You might consider "tricking" it by overlaying two or more lines, displaced slightly from each other but close enough to merge into a slightly thicker line.  Note that if you do this, you need to think about the orientation of the line, as you'd want to displace your "sub-lines" at right angles to the original line orientation.  For example, if the original line was horizontal, you'd draw two sub-lines a little above and a little below the original line (a vertical displacement), and if the original line were vertical, you'd draw a little to the left and right (a horizontal displacement).
    If you decide to go this route, you'll do yourself a BIG favor if you write the "Thick line" function as a sub-VI that looks a lot like IMAQ Overlay Line, but has an additional "thickness" parameter.  Hide all of the "messy details" inside this VI, including the calls to IMAQ Overlay Line.  This will keep your calling VI "focussed" on the task it is trying to do, without getting "irrelevant" Line-Thickness code popping up and occupying a lot of Block Diagram space.

  • Reader SDK: any way to see what text the user has selected?

    I'm using the Adobe Reader SDK with C#, looking at the interapplication communication features.
    I can open a document in Reader and allow the user to user the reader tools like select text, etc.
    Here's the problem: I want to have my application know what text the user currently has selected.  And I'd like it to know the name of the field that the user has selected, not just the text of the field.
    Microsoft Office's Interop has something like this:
    currentDocument.GetSelectedText();
    Is there any way to do this with IAC or the javascript or plug-in features of the Reader SDK?
    If not, can it be done with the Acrobat API?  I've looked through both sets of documentation, and haven't found what i needed.
    Thanks for any help!

    To write a plug-in for the Adobe Reader you need to go through 2 separate steps.
    Step one - Download the Adobe Acrobat SDK (from here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat)
    and build your plug-in against the Acrobat product, following the documentation to make sure you only use API's that are available in the Reader program. The documentation tells you what version of the Adobe ACrobat or Reader program is needed for the function and whether the function can be called in Reader.
    Step two - Apply for a Reader certificate to allow your plug-in to be loaded by the Reader, the link is on the same web page as the above link. This step can be initiated before you have created your plug-in, and I would recommend that you do start this process before you develop your plug-in as Adobe can refuse to give you the certificate in which case all your development would be wasted.
    Only once you have permission form Adobe can you make your plug-in work with the reader application.
    Once you have done both these steps there are plenty of people on this forum that can help you with specific problems you may encounter.
    If you are not sure you have the knowledge to build the plug-in, there are plenty of people that you can hire to create the solution for you.

  • Error in RFx with user-specified status profile

    Hi experts,
    I am having an issue in SRM 7.0 creating status profile for RFx.
    When I try to create a new RFx, I get an error screen with message "Status profile ZCCP is not allowed for "Bidding Header""
    In order to configure this, I went through the steps described in SAP Library:
    1- Define user-specified status profiles in Customizing for Supplier Relationship Management under SRM Server->Cross-Industry Functions->Application Settings->User-Specified Status->Create Status Profile for User-Specified Status:
    I created status profile ZCCP with the following data:
    10     SUSP     Suspended     10     90     1     1
    90     HABI     Abilities 10     90     1     1
    and I assigned the status profile to object type "Bid Invitation Header (PS_BBP)"
    2- Assign user-specified status profiles to procurement documents in Customizing for Supplier Relationship Management under  SRM Server->Cross-Industry Functions->Application Settings->User-Specified Status->Assign User-Specified Status Profiles to Purchasing Documents
    I created a new entry with:
    BUS2200     H Header     0     ZCCP
    3- Assign user-specified status profiles for each transaction type in Customizing for Supplier Relationship Management under  SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Define Transaction Types
    I assigned the status profile ZCCP to all relevant operation types of obj. type BUS2200.
    Does anyone know where this went wrong??
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Joã

    Hi joa
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/e8/70ff4187526430e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    You can use Status Management for records and documents. In Customizing, define the status values and the permitted sequence of these values. Users can then set these status values as attributes for records or documents.
    The following Customizing steps need to be performed for Status Management:
    ·        Status value definition
    To perform this step, choose IMG activity Customizing for Status Management -> Define Status For more information, see the online documentation for the IMG activity.
    Status profile definition
    To perform this step, choose IMG activity Customizing for Status Management -> Define Status Profile. For more information, see the online documentation for the IMG activity.
    Status network definition
    To perform this step, choose IMG activity Customizing for Status Management -> Define Status Network. For more information, see the online documentation for the IMG activity.
    ·         Assignment of a status profile to an element type
    For element types whose elements you want to use Status Management for, assign an existing status profile to connection parameter STATE_PROFILE_ID. (The connection parameter is only offered for records and documents.)
    Subsequently, users will be offered the attribute Status in the attribute maintenance dialog box whenever they edit the elements in question. Input help contains the status values that you have created.
    If you want to use Status Management for the API, you require the following authorization objects: S_SRM_STAT, S_SRM_ST_P and S_SRM_ST_N.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • Can't install fonts in user/library/fonts folder

    I have a problem which has a number of different symptoms (I presume they are related as they all started at the same time):
    I can't install any fonts into my user/library/fonts folder. Or, rather, I can install them but they vanish about five seconds later
    I have three files on my desktop. Every 60 seconds (precisely) they vanish for about a second and then reappear
    Seemingly randomly, but always when I empty the trash, I get a message saying "The last time you opened Finder, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"
    The error message I get in (3) above always disappears when the desktop files blink as in (2) above.
    These problems only started in the last 24 hours. Yesterday I installed an update which took me to Mail 6.6. I also installed a Microsoft update to Word. I also installed an update for TechTool Pro taking me from v6 to v7.
    Solutions I have tried:
    I have checked SMART status (no problems)
    I have verified volume structures (no problems)
    I have reset boot and kernel caches
    I have deleted font caches
    I have reset home directory permissions and ACLs
    I'm running a MacBookPro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    I am stuck, puzzled, frustrated but hopeful that someone in this community can help me out.
    If you can, I would be so very very grateful.

    If I am reading it correctly, do I boot using the drive copy, change premissions using utility, then reboot using the original drive? Is there another way to repair premissions, change password?

    Also when I called Wacom support they actually had me create a new user account to install the software. It's odd that I can install the fonts in the applications folder in one user account but they do not show up in the administrator account.
    As I stated, if that new account was an admin one, the fonts should be available to all users. Alternatively, they might be user specific, but you'll have to ask Wacom about that.
