Multiple graphics objects?

Is there any way to plot different graphs in multiple Xmath Graphics windows? I know that the graphics window can be divided into a matrix of subplots, but what I'd like to do is plot two graphs in one window and a third graph in a second window. I know in MATLAB, you can do subplots as well as plotting multiple figures in different windows. Does MATRIXx have anything like this?
Alternatively, is there any way to subdivide the graphics window into two rows and two columns with one plot stretched across both columns of the first row and two smaller graphs taking the spots { row = 2, column = 1 } and { row = 2, column = 2 }? For the first plot, I tried doing something like { row = 1, column = [ 1, 2 ] }, but the debugger informed me that keyword column only accepts integer values.
Thanks,
Luke G.

Hi Luke,
Yes, Xmath does support multiple plot windows. You have to use the Plot2D command for multiple windows, using the {win=num} option.
To plot graphs in subplot areas, use the {posn=[numrows,numcols,row,col,rowspan,colspan]} option. This syntax works in both Plot and Plot2D and does exactly what you want.

Painting multiple graphic objects

Hi, I need to create something where I can paint rectangles and circles etc on a canvas.
Almost like MS Paint.
I guess I must use a JComponent to paint on, but my problem is how does it store all previously painted objects, e.g if i draw 3 rectangles, the minimize and maximize the window (i.e call update()), only the last rectangle is visible.
Must I store everything in an array, and then traverse it everytime update() is called ?
Surely there must be an easier way ?

There is one, it called BufferedImage, you create one then get it graphics, draw on it every time you want (not in the pain method), and in the paint method you draw this bufferedimage to the graphics.
BufferedImage b1;
Graphics g1;
b1 = new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
g1 = b1.getGraphics();
g1.setColor(Color.red);
g1.drawRect(100,100,100,100);
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(b1,0,0,null);

Attaching MouseListeners to multiple graphics Objects ie rectangles

Can any one please help me by telling me how I can go about attaching mouselisteners to different rectangles in an application using one panel. I m not looking for code but any thing that my show me the way to this. Its very important that i do this.
Please help me

In the future, Swing related questions should be
posted in the Swing forum.
Maybe you just use a JPanel as a rectangle by setting
the border of the panel. Then you can add a
MouseListener to the panel.The code is as follows

   import java.awt.*;
   import java.awt.geom.*;
   import java.awt.image.*;

Querying for a script insert multiple selected objects...

Is there a script or plugin which insert multiple selected objects in one new text frame with one click?
And is there a script or plugin which extract the content of anchored text frame out it's frame and replace it with it's frame. and extract selected text and insert it inside a new anchored text frame in it's place? (like convert text to table - convert table to text, but instead table we use text frame)

Hi,
Using OMB scripting to set attribute properties in a data mapping sort of defeats the purpose of utilizing a graphical user interface to define and set properties for a data mapping? Surely the GUI data mapping tool was created to get away from writing scripts and scripting would also require that you know the name of the data mapping, table operator and the set of attribute names for which you have to write one line of script to set each property value, i.e. 90 lines to set 90 attribute values.
Cheers,
Phil

Zoom a 2D graphic object

we can zoom a 2D graphic object by scale x,y coordinates.
For instance, a rectangle will be enlarged to double size by doubling the coordinates,
My question is to seek the idea of keeping the object size unchanged but zoom the inside detail?
Just like mapquest,click zoom button more details will be clearly seen but the frame size unchanged?
Thanks

There are a couple of solutions to this that I can think of.
The first would be to have bitmaps prerendered at multiple resolutions with all the detail necessary for that resolution, and then display the lowest resolution image that gives the greatest amount of detail for the resolution needed by the application at the time. This method is used in 3d graphics programs to show lower detail textures on objects that are farther away.
For very high magnifications, the large images may have to be partitiioned into multiple subimages, and of course you would only display the ones necessary to fill the viewing window.
The other method would be to not use bitmaps at all, but store things as Shapes, which you can scale as required via an appropriate AffineTransform as necessary.
These two methods are not at all mutually exclusive, so combining them and using bitmaps in one area and scaled shapes in another is entirely possible.

New technique to place multiple anchored objects in InDesign story

Hello,
For a while I have been trying to figure out how to insert multiple anchored objects into an Indesign story. As far as I can tell, you cannot copy multiple objects that have already been placed in a document (such as a multi-page pdf) into an InDesign story, but must copy and paste them one-by-one into the story. This is a problem for a project I am working on where I want to have a large number of 340x52 pt pdfs to flow throughout a document in a master text frame interspersed with text.
I have now found a solution for this issue that I thought I would share in case it would be helpful for anyone. It utilizes Automator actions for Mac OS X and Microsoft Word 2011 [2008 may work also, but I don't have a copy of that to test]; I am not good with scripting but perhaps similar solutions could be found for other systems and programs.
1. If you want to place a multipage pdf within a text frame, first it into individual files for each page (with Acrobat Pro or pdftk or something similiar).
2. Create an Automator service or program with the action "Create New Word Document". You can also use another automator action to save the document, or save it manually (to change the filename). In the finder, select the items you want, then run the service or drag them into the Automator program you have created.
3. Place the word document into your InDesign story. Your items will now be anchored objects ordered in your text frame as they were in the finder.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if anyone has suggestions for doing this process is a more efficient way. I am not sure, but it may be the case that this approach would only work on Macs, as I gather from this thread.

I might note that I am using InDesign CS 5, and importing from a document stored in docx format.

How to change font/ font color etc in a graphic object using JCombobox?

Hello
My program im writing recently is a small tiny application which can change fonts, font sizes, font colors and background color of the graphics object containing some strings. Im planning to use Jcomboboxes for all those 4 ideas in implementing those functions. Somehow it doesnt work! Any help would be grateful.
So currently what ive done so far is that: Im using two classes to implement the whole program. One class is the main class which contains the GUI with its components (Jcomboboxes etc..) and the other class is a class extending JPanel which does all the drawing. Therefore it contains a graphics object in that class which draws the string. However what i want it to do is using jcombobox which should contain alit of all fonts available/ font sizes/ colors etc. When i scroll through the lists and click the one item i want - the graphics object properties (font sizes/ color etc) should change as a result.
What ive gt so far is implemented the jcomboboxes in place. Problem is i cant get the font to change once selecting an item form it.
Another problem is that to set the color of font - i need to use it with a graphics object in the paintcomponent method. In this case i dnt want to create several diff paint.. method with different property settings (font/ size/ color)
Below is my code; perhaps you'll understand more looking at code.
public class main...
Color[] Colors = {Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN};
        ColorList = new JComboBox(Colors);
ColorList.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
                 JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)ev.getSource();
                Color colorType = (Color)cb.getSelectedItem();
                drawingBoard.setBackground(colorType);
          });;1) providing the GUI is correctly implemented with components
2) Combobox stores the colors in an array
3) ActionListener should do following job: (but cant get it right - that is where my problem is)
- once selected the item (color/ font size etc... as i would have similar methods for each) i want, it should pass the item into the drawingboard class (JPanel) and then this class should do the job.
public class DrawingBoard extends JPanel {
       private String message;
       public DrawingBoard() {
              setBackground(Color.white);
              Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, fontSize);
              setFont(font);
              message = "";
       public void setMessage(String m) {
            message = m;
            repaint();
       public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
              super.paintComponent(g);
              //setBackground(Color.RED);
              Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
              g2.setRenderingHint
              g2.drawString(message, 50, 50);
       public void settingFont(String font) {
            //not sure how to implement this?                          //Jcombobox should pass an item to this
                               //it should match against all known fonts in system then set that font to the graphics
      private void settingFontSize(Graphics g, int f) {
                     //same probelm with above..
      public void setBackgroundColor(Color c) {
           setBackground(c);
           repaint(); // still not sure if this done corretly.
      public void setFontColor(Color c) {
                //not sure how to do this part aswell.
               //i know a method " g.setColor(c)" exist but i need to use a graphics object - and to do that i need to pass it in (then it will cause some confusion in the main class (previous code)
       My problems have been highlighted in the comments of code above.
Any help will be much appreciated thanks!!!

Not possible to store multiple fileReference object in same array?

Hi all,
I'm trying to store multiple fileReference object in one array. But everytime I push() in a new object the old objects that's already in the array gets set to the latest object.
I'm letting the user select an image. Then I push the selected fileReference object into an array like my_array.push( FileReference(event.target) );
If I then run a loop on "my_array" to check it's content I'm getting the latest pushed fileReference object for every index in the array.
With one object pushed in:
1. Image1.jpg
With two objects pushed in:
1. Image2.jpg
2. Image2.jpg
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thank you so much

This is basically what I'm doing. The code is cut out from a larger portion so there might be errors, but hopefully not.
// Local Files
private var localFiles:FileReference           = new FileReference();
private var fileList:Array                = new Array();
private function browse(event:MouseEvent)
     trace("[Browse] Using local files");
     localFiles.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onLocalFilesSelected);
     localFiles.browse(getAllowedTypes());
* LOCAL FILE
private function onLocalFilesSelected(e:Event)
     localFiles.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, localFileHandler);
     localFiles.load();
private function localFileHandler(event:Event):void
     localFiles.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, localFileHandler);
     fileList.push(FileReference(event.target));
     showFileList();
private function showFileList():void
     for(var $x:int=0;$x<fileList.length;$x++)
          var file:FileReference = FileReference(fileList[$x]);
          trace($x+": " + file.name);

Trying to move a graphics object using buttons.

Hello, im fairly new to GUI's. Anyway I have 1 class which makes my main JFrame, then I have another 2 classes, one to draw a lil square graphics component (which iwanna move around) which is placed in the center of my main frame and then another class to draw a Buttonpanel with my buttons on which is placed at the bottom of my main frame.
I have then made an event handling class which implements ActionListner, I am confused at how I can get the graphics object moving, and where I need to place the updateGUI() method which the actionPerformed method calls from inside the event handling class.
I am aware you can repaint() graphics and assume this would be used, does anyone have a good example of something simular being done or could post any help or code to aid me, thanks!

Yeah.. here's an example of custom painting on a JPanel with a box. I used a mouse as it was easier for me to setup than a nice button panel on the side.
Anyways... it should make it pretty clear how to get everything setup, just add a button panel on the side. and use it to move the box instead of the mouse.

Creating new graphics object from a existing one and sending it for print

Hello,
i have a graphics object which is big in size, I am creating a new graphics object from the existing one as given below
//map is a graphic object
Graphic g1 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width,height);
Graphic g2 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width1,height1);
Graphic g3 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width2,height2);
arrayList.add(g1);
arrayList.add(g2);
arrayList.add(g3);
Now I want to send the graphic object g1,g2,g3 for print in the method
public int print (Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int idx) throws PrinterException {
// Printable's method implementation
if (curPageFormat != pf) {
curPageFormat = pf;
pages = repaginate (pf);
if (idx >= 3)) {
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
g = (Graphics) arrayList.get(idx);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
This is not working... what is wrong. can anybody suggest..
I tried standardprint.java to print a object inside a scrollpane, it is not printing the entire diagram. so I am thinking of something like this.... Please let me know what to do....
Thanks

The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
Open the project and go to File > Rename.
Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

RE: multiple named objects with the same name andinterface

David,
First I will start by saying that this can be done by using named anchored
objects and registering them yourself in the name service. There is
documentation on how to do this. And by default you will get most of the
behavior you desire. When you do a lookup in the name service (BindObject
method) it will first look in the local partition and see if there is a
local copy and give you that copy. By anchoring the object and manually
registering it in the name service you are programmatically creating your
own SO without defining it as such in the development environment. BTW in
response to your item number 1. This should be the case there as well. If
your "mobile" object is in the same partition where the service object he is
calling resides, you should get a handle to the local instance of the
service object.
Here is the catch, if you make a bind object call and there is no local copy
you will get a handle to a remote copy but you can not be sure which one!
It end ups as more or less a random selection. Off the top of my head and
without going to the doc, I am pretty sure that when you register an
anchored object you can not limit it's visibility to "User".

Subject: multiple named objects with the same name and interface
All,
More than once, I have wished that Forte allowed you to place named
objects with the same name in more than one partition. There are two
situations in which this seems desirable:
1) Objects that are not distributed, but are mobile (passed by value to
remote objects), cannot safely reference a Service Object unless it has
environment visibility, but this forces the overhead of a remote method
call when it might not otherwise be necessary. If it were possible to
place a copy of the same Service Object (with user visibility) in each
partition, the overhead of a remote method call could be avoided. This
would only be useful for a service object whose state could be safely
replicated.
2) My second scenario also involves mobile objects referencing a Service
Object, but this time I would like the behavior of the called Service
Object to differ with the partition from which it is called.
This could be accomplished by placing Service Objects with the same name
and the same interface in each partition, but varying the implementation
with the partition.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why this would be a good thing or a
bad thing?

David,
First I will start by saying that this can be done by using named anchored
objects and registering them yourself in the name service. There is
documentation on how to do this. And by default you will get most of the
behavior you desire. When you do a lookup in the name service (BindObject
method) it will first look in the local partition and see if there is a
local copy and give you that copy. By anchoring the object and manually
registering it in the name service you are programmatically creating your
own SO without defining it as such in the development environment. BTW in
response to your item number 1. This should be the case there as well. If
your "mobile" object is in the same partition where the service object he is
calling resides, you should get a handle to the local instance of the
service object.
Here is the catch, if you make a bind object call and there is no local copy
you will get a handle to a remote copy but you can not be sure which one!
It end ups as more or less a random selection. Off the top of my head and
without going to the doc, I am pretty sure that when you register an
anchored object you can not limit it's visibility to "User".

Subject: multiple named objects with the same name and interface
All,
More than once, I have wished that Forte allowed you to place named
objects with the same name in more than one partition. There are two
situations in which this seems desirable:
1) Objects that are not distributed, but are mobile (passed by value to
remote objects), cannot safely reference a Service Object unless it has
environment visibility, but this forces the overhead of a remote method
call when it might not otherwise be necessary. If it were possible to
place a copy of the same Service Object (with user visibility) in each
partition, the overhead of a remote method call could be avoided. This
would only be useful for a service object whose state could be safely
replicated.
2) My second scenario also involves mobile objects referencing a Service
Object, but this time I would like the behavior of the called Service
Object to differ with the partition from which it is called.
This could be accomplished by placing Service Objects with the same name
and the same interface in each partition, but varying the implementation
with the partition.
Does anyone have any thoughts about why this would be a good thing or a
bad thing?

InDesign Place Multiple Graphics in a grid

I really like new feature of placing multiple graphics all at once into a grid, simply by holding the Command+Shift. This seems to be limited to only working when multiple files have been chosen in the Place dialog and loaded into the Place cursor. It would be really beneficial for this grid ability to be extended to instances when a single file that contains multiple pages is chosen (ex:multi-page InDesign document or PDF). Each page is loaded into the Place cursor as if they were separate graphics to be placed, just the grid keyboard command doesn't work since only a single file was chosen from the Place command.

That's a great idea. Post it on the official form: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Problem with decimal data visualization in a circular graphic object type

When we are design a report using Crystal Reports 2008 we found the following problem. When we insert an object of type circle graphic selecting the option in the graphics wizard for view in the legend data both in value and percentage (u2018bothu2019 design) we cant show them in a two decimals format at the same time.
Using the option u2018number formatu2019 and indicating two decimals only affects the value but not the percentage.
Show both the value and the percentage with two decimals at same time itu2019s a necessary requirement for our report design.
Is there any way to show both the value and the percentage in a circle graphic object with two decimals at the same time?
Thanks.

hello Jose,
i am not sure what you mean by "circular graphic object type".
there's nothing in the standard cr 2008 build that has this that i've ever found that creates a circle other than inserting a box and changing the rounding on the corners. if you're using a 3rd party product or add-on you'll need to contact whoever built it.
cheers,
jamie

Best practice for linking fields from multiple entity objects

I am currently transitioning from PHP to ADF. I'm looking for the best practice for linking data from multiple entity objects.
Example:
EO 'REQUESTS' has fields: req_id, name, dt, his_stat_id, her_stat_id
EO 'STATUSES' has fields: stat_id, short_txt_descr
'REQUESTS' is linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.his_status_id
'REQUESTS' is also linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.her_status_id
REQUESTS.his_status_id is independent of REQUESTS.her_status_id
When I create a VO for REQUESTS, I want to display: REQUESTS.name, REQUESTS.dt, STATUSES.short_txt_descr (for his_stat_id), STATUS.short_txt_descr (for her_stat_id)
What is the best practice for accomplishing this? It appears I could do it a few different ways:
1. Create the REQUESTS VO with a LOV for his_stat_id and her_stat_id
2. Create the REQUESTS VO with the join to STATUSES performed within the query for the VO. This would require joining on the STATUSES EO twice (his_stat_id, her_stat_id)
3. I just started reading about View Links - would that somehow do what I'm looking for?
I also need to be able to update his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr from a dropdown.
Any suggestions on how to approach such a stupidly simple task?
Using jDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 if that makes a difference in the solution.
Thanks ahead of time,
CJ

CJ,
I vote for solution 1 as it's just your use case. As you said you what to update the his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr by a drop down. This is exactly the LOV solution.
ViewLinks are used fro master detail navigation (which you don't do here) and Joining the data make it difficult to update (and you still need a LOV for the drop down box.

FCP 7 Multiple Graphics Cards & 3 Displays

With FCP 7 (Studio 3) has Apple fixed the issue that you can't have multiple graphics cards and more than 2 displays as was the problem with prior versions?

I did the typical; post a question then play around with the problem routine here.
I've found a solution where i put the "playout monitor" on the same card as screen 1. move screen 2 to another card and make the relevant adjustments to the displays arrangement panel so everything is the same layout as before. FCP now plays out to the correct monitor it seems it can't handle sending to other cards.
i'm running 10.5.8 and FCP 6.0.6
