J2ME: Sizing a PNG

Ok..
I can't believe that you can't resize a PNG with J2ME. I just can't believe it!!
Please someone tell me about a way to do it (without spending 2 or 3 weeks by writing my own algorythm).
They should have include something to resize a PNG in J2ME.. this is ridiculous, there are many device with different scren resolution.

So.... nobody knows anything about it?

Problem about Image....

I want to read image file(like Sample.jpg) and trasform to one half size and save to another file.
code:
Image img=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("./Sample.png");
Image img2=img.getScaledInstance(100,100,SCALE_FAST);
then I can draw image2....
but I wan to save image2 to a file(like Sample2.png)...
How can I do it....
Can Image class be transfered to byte array?
Anyway ,my question is how to save a image class to a file in my disk,not only can show it in applet.I want a really file.
Or in Java solution ,how can I do something changed(like resize)with a PNG(GIF..etc) file and save it to another PNG file.

sorry..I found the last 3 topic is the same as my question
.I know how to do it now....But does anyone knows how to save as PNG file.I only can save as JPG or GIF file.Because J2ME only read PNG file,so plz tell me where can I find PNG encoder and decoder.

Encore slideshow picture quality

Importing photograph slides into Encore CS4 the quality of some of them are poor. They appear in the slideshow viewer and monitor in a poor quality. I have had them looking like a mosaic and more recently a yellow flag has had black areas with in the yellow. The pictures have not been manipulated prior to importing.
I have surched the forums without any success.
Does anyone have any suggestions, they would be much a appreciated?

I will do some re-sizing but I do not run to Photoshop yet.
Thanks again for your help.
If you have Photoshop Elements, that has an automatic batch re-sizing function. I am fairly sure that XnView, which is free, will do this also. I am sure that I once came across a free image re-sizing program recently, but cannot recall details.
Microsoft also offered a free image re-sizer for XP. This is still available, and will do batch re-sizing.
To achieve full height TV screen image with no-rescaling within Encore, the image height for PAL needs to be set at 576 pixels - this applies to both portrait and landscape orientated images, so you have to process them separately. You will still lose a little at top and bottom displaying them on a conventional TV as they overscan.
It is better to convert from JPEG to a non-lossy format before re-sizing, either .png, or .psd.

Jpg to png in J2ME device..

I am considering doing a converter that could read JPG images from server and converts then to PNG and shows on device. I wonder what is the basic approach in case like this. I know there is already made solutions for this, but I want to make one in order to understand more these kinds of things.
Thanks in advance..

I tried the server route, but a 30kb JPEG becomes a 210kb PNG, and for downloading over the air on a cell phone, that 7x increase is a painful problem. Downloading the JPEG directly to the J2ME device is definitely the way to go. Pretty lame that J2ME doesn't currently support JPEG natively.
After many nights of searching the Net for an answer to this question, a kind soul pointed me to the following site, which is 80% of the answer we're looking for:
http://webuser.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/
Helmut Dersch
has written/ported a JPEG Decoder that can run in J2ME:
JPEGDecoder: pure-Java JPEG-Decoder for limited Java APIs (e.g. J2ME)I know that it works (he has a sample app that actually runs on my Treo with a panoramic JPEG image loaded from the resource files). Unfortunately, I haven't been smart enough to write the code yet that would download a JPEG off the web and render it on the screen (without all the Panoramic stuff). Should be simple, though.
I am sure that it will take 90 seconds for one of you smart folks. If you actually write the code to do this, PLEASE post the source code so that all of us will learn!
Thanks!!!

Is there a JPEG encoder for j2me, PNG,GIF and BMP encoders are also wanted.

As is known that, image encoders are not currently available in MIDP. I have tried to port a j2se JPEG encoder to J2ME, but it cost me 32M memory when generating a 800x600 image. Could anyone help me. Thanks

well, of course ... what did you expect?Hum, I want to do some processing on my pictures, such as rotation, and then save it or send to my friends via MMS. but it's not easy to save the processed pixels to image file, such as JPEG, GIF or PNG.

Put .png on J2ME form?

Am programmering in Sun One studio 4 me. For 2 days now am I been trying to put a .png picture into a J2ME form without any luck. Can someone plz help me with this? This is how I been trying:
    public void side(String navn)
        Form f = new Form(navn);
        try{
        Image image = Image.createImage("/Duke.png");
        f.append(image);
        }catch(java.io.IOException e){e.printStackTrace();}
        f.addCommand(backCommand);
        f.setCommandListener(this);
        display.setCurrent(f);
    }The Duke.png is taken from samples that was in the editor so it should be ok.

Are you getting an exception?
The path to image is probably wrong. Different developing environments package the MIDlets differently. Try playing around with the path (ie: Image.createImage("res/Duke.png") or Image.createImage("/res/Duke.png")) and make sure the filename is spelled correctly (case sensitive and all).

How to export full image in PNG format lying inside a smaller sized rectangle?

Hi
In my own created extension for adobe inDesign using CS Extension builder 1.5, I am trying to export a page item lying inside a rectangle frame longer than frame height. Full image is not exported but it gets cropped which is of the rectangle height. I need to get full image exported in PNG format. The item can be text/image/drawing/or group of multiple items lying inside a rectangle frame.
Sometimes the correct image is exported although the rectangle frame size is smaller than the inside image/item. Following is the code I’m using to export the page item.
var targetItem:PageItem = pageItem.allPageItems[0];
targetItem.exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, targetFile, false);
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks and best regards

Re-sizing and Pasting in Elements 12

I've just got Elements 12 and I'm having difficulty getting started.
The first thing I need to do, is to re-size a load of images - I need them to be a specific size in centimetres. I don't care how many pixels they are, or how big the file is.
However, whenever i try re-sizing, and then open the image in something else, it hasn't really changed size - it's just set to print at that size in elements. As I'm not printing them, I'm sending them digitally elsewhere to be printed, that's no good to me- is there any way to actually change the size.
Once I've got the images resized, I then want to paste them onto a slightly larger black background. However, I don't seem to be able to paste between files. Is this normal?
To sum up:
I have a load of jpegs and pngs of various sizes, I want to get them all to 6.12 x 8.6 cm, then paste them into a black background 6.4 x 9 cm (providing a thin border against the edges being cropped int he printing process) and save as jpegs. These jpegs will then be uploaded to a printing company via the internet.
I'd hoped this would be a fairly simple process, but it seems to be impossible. Can anyone help?

For printing, it desirable to have the resolution in the range 240-300px/in.
You can convert the ruler scale to metric by right clicking on the ruler. This will help you to visualize the dimensions for reference.
On the crop tool's option bar, enter 6.12cm and 8.6cm for w & h (depending on portrait/landscape orientation.) Enter resolution 240px/in in the resolution field.
Drag out the crop shield to embrace what you wish to retain, then commit with the green checkmark.
Set your foreground color chip to black
Go to Select menu>all
Open a blank layer above the background layer
Goto Edit menu>Stroke(outline) selection. Try stroke width 5px, position:inside. OK
Press CTRL+D to get rid of the marching ants.
You can adjust the black border (stroke width) to suit - simply delete the layer created in step #5, and replace it.

Creating a .jpg image from with in the J2ME app

Hi,
I want to send a document to the printer over bluetooth to print.
For that I searched on net, but couldn't find any APIs supported by J2ME to print it. I also found a link http://www.hcilab.org/documents/tutorials/Brother/ where I found that I can send the data by creating an image and then writing data (text or image ) in to it, and then sending that image to print.
Image img = Image.createImage(816, 40);
Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
g.setColor(0, 0, 0);
g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,Font.SIZE_LARGE));
g.drawString("Printing test from "
                         + System.getProperty("microedition.platform") + " on "
                         + new Date(), 10, 10, 0);
driver.print(img, btAddr);This code is working fine on this printer.
I am using HP 460cb printer, and I tried the same thing, but am not getting any results. Can any one of you tell me what mistake am I making.
                Image blankImage = Image.createImage(SpotBilling.MAX_IMG_WIDTH, SpotBilling.MAX_IMG_HEIGHT);
                Graphics g = blankImage.getGraphics();
                g.setColor(0,0,0);
                g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_SMALL));
                g.drawString("Printing test on Wednesday - 18th Jan, 2006", 10, 50, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
                g.drawImage(imgTest, 60, 150, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
                int width = blankImage.getWidth();
                int height = blankImage.getHeight();
                int y = 0;
                os.write(CMD_UNIVERSAL_EXIT);
                for(int i = 1; i<=height; i++){
                         blankImage.getRGB(temp, 0, width, 0, y, width, 1);
                         byte[] pixels = new byte[width];
                         for (int x = 0; x < temp.length; x++) {
                              pixels[x] = (byte) ((((temp[x] & 0x00FF0000) >> 16)
                                   + ((temp[x] & 0x0000FF00) >> 8) + (temp[x] & 0x000000FF)) / 3);

                         os.write(DATA);
                         os.write(pixels);
                         y++;
                    }I have another query, if I can not do this. Is there any way I can create a .jpg image from with in the J2ME application.
I have some text and an image that I get by invoking camera from the code and then capturing a picture. I need to combine them both, and then send it to the printer.
If there is any way, I can convert this blankImage mentioned above (containing both text and Image), please provide me the solution.
Any document or any source code is appreciated.
regards,
Ashish

I have succeeded in creating a mutable image that contains text and image (.png), through
                     Image img;
                     img = Image.createImage(50, 60);
     protected void paint(Graphics g){
          g.drawImage(img, getWidth()/2, getHeight()/2, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
          Graphics graph = img.getGraphics();
          graph.setColor(0, 0, 0);
          graph.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,
                         Font.SIZE_LARGE));
          graph.drawString("Printing test from "
                                   + System.getProperty("microedition.platform") + " on ", 10, 10, 0);
          graph.drawImage(image, img.getWidth()/2, img.getHeight()/2,Graphics.HCENTER|Graphics.VCENTER);
          graph.fillArc(0,0,10,10,0, 360);
     }Now I want to create a .jpg image of this img image(Mutable image).
What I am doing is that,
1. I am converting this image in to int array, using getRGB() method.
2. Then I am converting int array in to byte array.
3. And then I am opening a file(extension is .jpg)
4. Then I am sending this byte array in to the file which is .jpg
The .jpg file is getting created, but the data in it is very absurd, like yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Please help me in this matter.

}then, i create an instance of NovaBitmapFont and call the drawString method...
so far so good... there arent any runtime errors, but instead of the letters, i got only white boxes on my outputcanvas ....
could anybody help me?
thx a lot!! :)

Your problem seems to be here:
targetGraphics.setClip(x,y, width, height);You are setting the clipping region outside of the actual image. The target image is one you created of size width*height. If you set the clipping region to x > width or y > height then nothing will appear on the picture. That line is completely unnecessary.
But even like this, the moment you create the target image, you are creating a completely opaque image, so you are losing any transparency you might have had in your png. If you need to keep transparency you need to keep all the characters in the original image, and draw it with clipping regions directly onto the canvas.

Best Practice for Many Complex Elements In One PNG File

I use Fireworks all the time, but I'm still embarrasingly ignorant on how to do some things property.
For instance, when I do mockups of a new customers homepage, there may be many small or medium sized complex objects on the page. By "objects" I mean like lots of modules advertising their different services, and each module has its own graphics, text, backgrounds, etc all with lots of different effects applied.
Should all of these things reside in one large png file, or does Fireworks offer some way for me to create some of these as separate png files and just drop an "instance" of them into the main file? I read something about adding files to the Common Library, but I will only need these files for one single customer so that may be overkill.
Or do I even need to worry about separating them at all and should just continue having everything for a single customer in one big single png file?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.

In reading a bit further, it looks like a good option for me might be to just select everything that makes up a specific module and just "group" it. That way I can move it around and turn it off and on easier.
So I'm thinking that unless theres something Im going to reusing more than once in a document (which in this case I'm not) then its fine to have everything all in one png? And the only time I use the Common/Document Library is when i'm reusing things?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around what all my options are in Fireworks, as so far my experience is limited to just dragging around rectangles and shapes and stuff on one single canvas to create website mockups.

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

Emulating HTTP POST for file upload with J2ME

I have search through a lot of site and couldn't find the actual code. I try to emulate below html with J2ME.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="Insert.asp">
<td>File :</td><td>
<input type="file" name="file" size="40"></td></tr>
<td> </td><td>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></td></tr>
</form>
here is my code :
HttpConnection c = null;
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
byte[] filecontent = file byte content ...
try {
c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open("http://xx.com/insert.asp");
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(cmg.length + 15));
c.setRequestProperty("Content-type","multipart/form-data");
os = c.openOutputStream();
os.write("file=c:\\abc.png".getBytes());
os.write(filecontent);
os.flush();
I can emulate form with text field and it work, but when it come to file upload, above code not working, I don't know what to put for the outputstream, filename ? content ? or both ? since the html only has one field that is the "file" field. The file is actually store in rms with filename abc.png, and I just put in the c:\ for the server as a dump path.

File upload is more complicated then that... you need multi-part MIME formatting.... But I have just the code...
