Large black regions obscure CNiGraph3D plots

I am trying to plot 3D mesh data in dynamically created CNiGraph3D objects within a modal Wizard window in an MDI application. The Wizard window is a CPropertyPage object within a CPropertySheet (in Wizard mode).
The meshes are being viewed in the XY plane only and there can be from 1 to 20 CNiGraph3D objects on the wizard page at any one time. Each graph object has the same dimensions although the graphs are resized if any are dynamically added or removed. Scroll bars are added to the wizard page if the number of viewable graphs exceeds the available space.
The problem occurs when scrolling is attempted. A large black region can appear over the whole width of a graph obscuring the mesh plot. When you attempt to intera
ct with the obscured graph an unhandled exception / access violation occurs and the application crashes. I have traced the crash in debug mode and it comes from OpenGL32.dll.
I have Visual Studio Service Pack 4 installed. Other Measurement Studio objects that I'm using work fine so I'd rather see if I can get help with my current configuration before updating (and changing) my system to SP6.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Dear David,
The same thing kind of happened in HiQ
This issue is likely related to your PC's video driver. The 3-D graph in HiQ 4.x for Windows leverages OpenGL, a 3D graphics standard that can rely either on your video hardware or software.
Try each of the following suggestions in turn in an effort to correct the problem.
1) Try turning up the hardware acceleration in device manager for the graphics card, then restart the machine and run the example again.
2) If you are running Windows 98 or Windows 95, try changing the Video acceleration feature to "None." To do this, go to the display settings page in your control panel and choose the Settings tab. Click the Advanced button, and on the next dialog, choose the Performance tab. Move the acceleration
tab to the far left.
3) Try switching to a standard VGA video driver. If the 3D graph works, the problem is likely a bug in your video card driver; make sure that you have the latest driver for your video card.
4) Try switching color depth or display resolution. If the 3D graph works, the problem is likely a bug in your video card driver; make sure that you have the latest driver for your video card.
Kind Regards

IPhoto: large black exclamation point obscuring

Why does a large black exclamation point flash onto my screen instead of the photo I clicked on?

This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
this can be caused by two things
1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2 or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

Big, black box obscuring photos

I'm running iOS4 on a 3G. I recently recieved a video attached to a text message. I saved the video and when I opened the photo app, the thumbnail for the video was in the lower right hand corner of a large, black box that obscured several other photo thumbnails.
I thought it was just a peculiarity of the video I had saved, so a few days later, I deleted it. However, the black box remains. I've since saved a photo in the hopes that it would overwrite whatever the box is, but it, too, just displays in the lower right hand corner.

Any help? If I can help it, I'd really rether not have to do a factory restore.

I've connected my external monitor (LG) to my new Macbook Pro 15" laptop, using the adaptor for VGA...the display now has a large black bar along the left side. No adjustment on the monitor will fix it, no "options" on System Prefs either...any ideas?

I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro, and connected it ot my external monitor (24" LG HD) using an Apple VGA adaptor. The only resolution that looks good is the 1920 x 1080, but the image does not entirely fill the screen. There is a large black gap on the left side of the screen now. It worked fine with my "last generation" Macbook Pro...no adjustment on the monitor will help, and cannot find any System Setting in displays such as "options" or widescreen setting. I've gone to the LG site, but no "Mac" related tech support issues come up...no forum here seems to deal with this particular issue either...any ideas?

I have the same thing but with a 23 inch HP, worked fine with my MBP 13 from 2009 but the 2011 2.4 i5 does the exact same thing as yours!
Very confused and hoping that some one else can help.
Thanks

I have loaded video from vas tape to dvd and now want to rip chapters to put on another dvd. When I rip I get large black borders on each side. I am a novice what can I d? thanks

chapters and write them to a new dvd. The problem is that I get a large black border on each side. What can I do? thanks

Sounds like you have standard definition material in a 4:3 format that you have put in a 16:9 project.
The solution is to change your project aspect ratio to 4:3
Recognize you will still have the black bars (called pillarboxing) when you play the material on a 16:9 TV. (The DVD player will generate them.)

Adobe Reader X prints large black spots in large documents

I have a user with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe Reader X. When he prints a catalog with images, it randomly prints large black spots throughout the document. If I print one of the individual pages that had black spots, it prints fine. Are there any known issues that would cause this or does anyone have any suggestions? He is printing to a Toshiba eStudios 5520c copier. No one else has the problem printing to this printer but, he is the only one using Adobe Reader to print catalogs to this printer. Everyone else printing catalogs to this printer use at least Adobe Pro of some version (the versions differ between users). I have increased the size of the page file and reinstalled the printer driver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for providing the information.
Could you please try and reinstall the printer driver on this user's machine and see if it solves the issue.
Also, do all PDFs with images produce the same output from this user's machine?
Would it be possible for you to share any such PDF? I have sent you my email address as a Private Message.

"New USB device detected" - large black window comes up & at the bottom it says "hold alt to remember the choice". How do I reset?

"New USB device detected" - large black window comes up when I plug an external HD or NetTalk device. At the bottom it says "hold alt to remember the choice". Im running Parallels 6.0, so give me the option to choose. I held alt and chose Mac. Now I want to choose Windows 7 - BootCamp, but Can't. How do I reset my choice, so it always asks me?

Dancing pixels in large black areas of my new 30 inch ACD

I posted this on a thread in the 2004 forum, and then thought to post it here since I just bought my 30 inch LCD new from the Apple Store yesterday.
I have a dancing pixel / pixel static problem, which happens whenever there are large black spaces on the screen, such as the black computer name screen saver, or the black screen where you enter your password to get back into your account from secure sleep. The dancing pixel static also appears in Terminal windows that are set to have a solid black blackground.
To deal with this problem, I just decided to set my Terminal and gvim backgrounds to dark grey. This seems to be a tolerable solution. I also took all the firewire and USB cables out from the back of the display, which was proposed by Apple support as a fix to this sort problem last year, as someone reported in the forum.
I still have to deal with the dancing pixel static in the short interval between the time I activate any screensaver with a hot corner, and the appearance of the same. And the static is all over the place when I try to get out of the screen saver and have to give me password.
I think I can live with that as long as the problem doesn't get worse... Anyone have a similar experience?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

OK I went to the Apple Store today and they let me trade it in for a new 30 inch LCD. This one is definitely better. There is some pixel static still in large black areas. But much, much less. I hardly notice it, though I can if I look for it. But overall I'm very happy with it now. I love the screen. 30 inches really makes a huge difference.
I wonder though what's the deal with large black areas that causes this to happen on the LCDs.

Large black borders arond Canvas View

I have footage imported from a Canon XH-A1 at 720 x 480, when I drag it to the Canvas viewer it displays with large black borders around it and any exports look the same. Looks normal in Viewer. Also must be RENDERED to be viewable in Timeline, which did not used to be an issue - something has changed, but I am not sure what!
Capture preset is DV NTSC 48KHZ, camera is not in HD or wide screen mode. Footage seems to look OK if I import it into iMovie HD, not my preferred editor due to the length of clips being edited.

My i-mac (9 years old) has suddenly developed a large black spot

My flat-screen 9-year-old i-mac has suddenly developed a large black spot in the middle at the very top of the screen. It does not appear to have overheated. The problems started with a funny black ridge along the bottom of the screen and then turned into the current spot at the top. I turned to computer off for a few days, but that did not seem to solve the problem. many thanks.

Apparently your screen has partially failed. This is a hardware problem and needs a tech to repair it.

Large Black Line

Hi all!
Printer: HP Photosmart C4680
I get a large black line down the length of my page only when I scan. I have tried everything that the "help" page has suggested. I have also changed the ink cartrages to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in andvance for you help!

To bump would be considered by most folks to be rather rude. To bump every few hours is pretty excessive and counterproductive - it would appear your post already has 4 replies, not sense for others to even open it.
This is not a link to HP, it is users helping users. If you want to reach HP then Contact HP.
That said, your printer problems sounds like a bit of dust or debris on the scanner element. I suspect you also get the line when scanning to the computer and copying without the computer. Likely you will need to have the unit serviced.

Hello,
You have calculated the number of black pixels using a histogram, right? This is the simple part.
this is how i would approach the problem:
OPTION 1: calculate the linear magnification of your system, using the equation M = f/(f-d) = hi/ho. f is the focal lenght [mm] and d is the distance of the object from the lense [mm]. You can calculate the magnification by placing an object of known height (ho) at the distance d, and calculate the illuminated pixels (hi). Then multiply the pixels with the physical pixel size in mm. When magnification is know, you can always calculate the object size, based on the number of illuminated pixels. But this is only for the specified distance d. If the distance changes, the magnification changes also. If your area covers let's say 50 pixels, arrange it in 50 columns and 1 row. Calculate the object size using first 50 pixels and second using 1 pixel (if the pixel size in different in both directions, take this into account when calculating). Then multiply the calculated object sizes to get the area.
OPTION 2: calibrate the camera system in order to obtain the fx and fy [pix]. Calibration is really simple - use the NI Calibration training interface. Calculate the actual focal lenght in both directions:
fY[mm] = sensor_height[mm] * fy[pix]/sensor_height[pix]
fX[mm] = sensor_width[mm] * fx[pix]/sensor_width[pix]
Let's say that the area of the pixels on your image is Ap. Let's also say that we "arrange" it in Ap columns and 1 row. Calculate the actual object size in X direction:
OX[mm] = Ap * Pw[mm] * d[mm]/fX[mm]
and in the Y direction:
OY[mm] = 1 * Ph[mm] * d[mm]/fY[mm]
where Pw is the element sensor element size in horizontal and Ph in vertical direction [pix].
Then calculate the real-world area by OX*OY [mm^2].
You also need the distance d here - the previous post describes how to calculate this.
Also, hopefully, someone with more experience could comment on what i wrote above. Maybe there is a simpler solution? I am also learning stuff as i go, so any comment would be appreciated.
Hope this helps you get started.
Best regards,
K

Photoshop has suddenly started placing a large black box ontop of the image - its only present on the monitor if I save the image it has gone - the box (some times black sometime white) obscures what Im doing

This has suddenly started - a black box (some times white )
appears over the top of the image & obscures what Im doing. Its not present when I save the file - only when Im trying to work on it. I cant see what Im doing to the image
Help !!

Looks like a bug somewhere in PS - would be interesting to find out if it's happening to more than just us.
Actually this looks a lot like a bug with a GPU driver.
Has the issue reoccurred since you turned off GPU usage?
My trouble is I just use PS and expect it to work.
Well, as Adobe did not make your computer, OS, GPU, … you have to do your own trouble-shooting to verify if the issue is actually with an Adobe application or with another component.

Large black blemish on page and pasteboard

I am using CS3, InDesign ver. 5
I have 100 page document (a type book, part of a 440 page book), with a large, 1 x 3 inch, solid black blemish (a double streak) that extends from the top of the paste board into the document by 1.5 inches on one page. Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it reappears. I exported the file to a PDF (high quality for print). It was not visible in the PDF, but it printed (CreateSpace digital book printing).
The blemish cannot be selected, moved, etc.
The file has four layers. The blemish is mostly associated with one layer. However, when I turn that layer or all layers off, only the portion of the blemish inside the text box disappears. The portion that extends beyond the text frame on the page and on the pasteboard remains.
The blemmish appeared during a sneezing fit (allergies) while I was working on the document. I touched or clicked something, but I have no idea what.
I moved the text frame off the page and created a new, unlinked, frame. Most of the blemish moved with the original text frame (all that was inside the frame and part outside). I made a new frame and the blemish reappeared--now in two places: in its full size on the page, and most of it on the text frame on the pasteboard.
I deleted the page, created a new page, and created a new text frame. As I entered new text, the blemish reappeared.
I exported the file to Interchange Format. The blemish remained.
I deleted the InDesign Defaults and the Saved Data files. The blemish remained.
I can cover it with a frame filled with white: however, I have no idea if that will actually work when the book is printed. And if it does, I cannot remove that portion that covers the text.

I've linked a copy of the problem page here It is a zip fold of the packaged indd file; therefore the fonts are included.
Walton.
I exported the file as IDML and also as RTF. Opening the IDML retained the blemish.
Placing the RTF into a new file also retained the blemish; even though the fonts were all marked as missing, the glyphs appeared in the applied fonts. One strange thing is that the DickChamberlainsDeathF font didn't display the missing font coloration, and in the font pull-down menu in the Control Panel, there were no square brackets around its name (the brackets indicate missing fonts.)
Anyone have a clue about this strangeness?
I exported the file as text. The shape was gone when the text file was placed into a new document.
Then, I reapplied the fonts to the text - the named font was applied to all paragraphs in the font's group. No character.
The default size was 12pt. I selected all the text in the frame and increased the font size to 15pt, and BINGO! It's BAAACK! It remained as I undid each action step by step.
I suspect that the blemish is triggered by a character in one of the fonts. It doesn't seem to go away when fonts are changed back to known-normal fonts. If these fonts are creations of non-major font foundries, or if they have been modified by a mad font scientist, then the problem is likely some miscalculation in displaying the font.
If you really want to track down the source of the problem, I'd suggest starting with a new file, set the default font to a known safe one, type new text samples for one set of glyphs, copy and paste the glyph set to make enough for your samples, then save that file, then save as a new name. In a copy, apply a suspect font to one glyph set. Save As a new name that indicates the applied font.
Open the first-saved file, save with the name of the second font you want to test. Then apply that font to the second set of glyphs. Save again.
Go through this routine until you've got a set of files that have all the glyph sets, but only one font applied in each file. If the blemish hasn't appeared, start back in the first file with an applied font. Select the text with the applied font and change the point size to 15pt. If that doesn't cause the problem, save the file as a new file with 15pt in the name.
Repeat this test for all files. If the blemish appears, then you'll have an idea of which font causes it.
If the blemish hasn't appeared, start over with the first file that has the first-applied font at 15pt. Save it to a new name. Select the second group of glyphs and apply the second font. Save. If no blemish, increase the font size of the second group of glyphs to 15pt. If no blemish, save, and repeat with all other files, aplying the n-th font to the n-th glyph group. Save to new names. Change font to 15pt. Etc.
If still no blemish, start over with the first file. Save to a new name. Apply each n-th font to each n-th glyph group, all in this one file. If this doesn't display the blemish, try the same strategy with the remaining files.
