Painting a group of nodes

Hi,
Is it possible to paint a group of nodes which use some effects into an image of an ImageView? What would be the best approach?
Thanks

Let me see if I have got this right - you have a group of nodes with some effects applied to them - lets say a group of rectangles with an inner shadow applied to it and you want to show this as an image in an imageView ?
The short answer is No- since ImageView takes instance of Image class and not a node as a value for its image attribute.
You can display a group of nodes with effects on your scene, so why convert it to an image?Even if you want to, you can take a snapshot of the group, edit it in a image editor, store it as an image and load it into a ImageView -although that's kind of a roundabout way of doing it.
What is it that you are actually trying to achieve here ?

Report Painter - Report group doesnot exist

Hello Expert
I have done the development of new report and report groups through report painter. I did the assignment of report to report group, Also i could able to access the report through T.Code GR53 / GR55 codes.
I have done the Generate report option (Shift +F8) option through T.Code GR52 -> got the message that " Report group ZXXX has been generated". Also did the " Mass generator " and no error are found.
I could able to assign the T.Code through SE93 in my development client. I did the trasnport the development to Unit Testing Server.
In Testing Server, if i try to use the T.Code ... i am getting the message as " Report Group does not exist with message number - GR409. Even thou, i am able to access the report and report group directly through GR53 / GR55.
Kindly guide me, is there any step i have missed ?

Hello Eli
Thanks for your reply,
I did the Mass Generator option in "TEST System" also.
I am not getting any error message & all are in "green color"
Still i am getting the same message " Report Group Does n't Exist"

Hi,
You can delete a report from a report group from transaction code GR52.
Enter the report group in transaction code and press enter. It will display the reports attached to the report group. Select the report which needs to be deleted and click on delete ?(red icon).
Thanks

DBCA did not see the ASM disk group in NODE 2 but see in NODE 1

Are there anyone who encountered creating a database using DBCA with ASM as file system?
Our issue before is in both nodes the DBCA did not see the ASM disk group.
But after setting the TNS_ADMIN in both nodes and running the DBCA as administrator in Node 1, the DBCA able to see now the ASM disk group. Unfortunately, in Node 2 it didn't work out?
So we didn't know why is it from Node 2, the DBCA still didn't see the ASM disk group?Since it is both the same.
Any ideas? Please advise.
For you information, we are using Windows 64-bit, Oracle 11g R2
Thank you in advance for those who will respond.

Grouping tree nodes

Hi,
Here is a tricky one that I have got. Not sure if I am being over creative here or asking too much from apex!!
Let say I have a contracts table which stores parent child relationship between various contracts. the structure is
contract_id, contract_number, contract_type,parent_id
I can create a simple tree which displays as below.
Parent1
child1
child2
child3
Now how can i display a tree which groups all the child contracts by their type and adds an extra type node between parent and child. something like this.
Parent1
Type1
child1
child2
Type2
Child3
Any help is highly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Bhavesh

Hi Bhavesh,
Have a look at: Re: Tree Help
Basically, you need to create some sql that will provide you with id and parent_id values only for each record. In your case, this would mean that you would have to use the UNION ALL functionality to scan your table twice. The first time to get the child/parent data (child/type in your example) and the second time to get the parent/grandparent data (type/parent in your example).
The issue would be ensuring that you can maintain a relationship throughout the structure. In the above example, IDs are all numbers and some have been "bumped up" by adding a large number to the actual value - this needs to be done wherever that ID is needed on both run throughs and to ensure that an ID in the output is unique.

Grouping property nodes

Hi there, I'm creating a DAQ application wich reads in 64 channels. Now I want to enable and disable certain items in the front panel using property nodes. You may understand that this would take a lot of time considering it's a 64-channel DAQ application. Does someone has any idea how to group certain front panel objects so I can use only one property node for multiple objects? Or is there another way?
Another question:
How can I automaticaly read in a front panel datalog file so it remember names I entered last time I used the application?
thanks, Bert.

Consider putting the string, numeric, and check boxes in a cluster.
Place the cluster in an array, and grow it vertically to show 64
elements. If your layout has several columns, make a copy of the array
and make say four of them with 16 rows each.
On the diagram you will be able to set the array properties easily, but
you will not be able to set properties for individual cells within the
array.
This will also affect how you access the controls. Instead of 64x4
terminals all over the diagram, you will just have the arrays, and you
can index and unbundle when you want a data element. If you normally
deal with the 64 displays, this will be very convenient. If you often
need access to individual elements, I'd recommend making a subVI icon
where you pass in the array and the index and it returns the four
subelements as outputs. This will probably clean up your diagram as
well as simplifying the graying of the display.

Use of grouped property nodes

HI,
I'd like to know if there is a way to use a property node like " value " for a group of controls without doing right click /property node /value on each control.
Thanks
Olivier

There is little reason to have many direct value property nodes in any given diagram. (I am just mention this because you explicitly mention "value"). A local variable has the same functionality but is more efficient. (of course, often you can use a wire or shift register for even cleaner code).
(see e.g. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=153611#M153611)
There is also the shared variable, if you run one of the newer LabVIEW versions.
I am afraid that you use all these value property nodes as a poor man's substitute of "variables", breaking all dataflow in the process. Can you explain why you need so many???
(btw: another way to copy a property node would be to ctrl+right-drag an existing property node, then right-click it and "link to...(select another control)". This is not faster in your case, but is quite useful if you want to duplicate a property node that has many properties defined.)

Report Painter - Format group for columns in more than one section

How do have different decimals for columns in different sections.
For. e.g I have three sections
one for quantity (I do not need decimals)
two for dollars (I do not need decimals)
three for formula dollar upon quantity (I need to have two decimals)
I made format group 0 (with no decimals) for first two sections and format group 1 (with two decimals) for the last section.
4.6c does not consider format group 1 and makes every section look alike with format group 0 i.e, no decimals.
How to overcome this?

Anders,
I replied earlier but after reading you post several times I realized that I probably misunderstood what you want. This is what I now understand. You have several resources, each of who may work on various parts of design tasks, assembly tasks, and test
tasks. For example, let's say your resources are Joe, Bill & Tom. Joe is assigned to a design and test task, Bill is assigned to an assembly and test test task and Tom is assigned to a design task, an assembly task and a test task (Tom is very versatile).
You would like to see a report showing just the assembly tasks and the amount of work each of the three resources is assigned on those tasks.
Assuming the above is a correct interpretation, you will need to employ three processes, some VBA, grouping and filtering.
1. First, designate a custom text field for group identification (e.g. use Task Text1 to enter "design", "assembly", or "test" for each task)
2. In order to use grouping and filtering effectively, you will need to translate the Task Text1 information to the Assignment Text1 field. To do that, go to the MVP website at: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm, and run the macro in FAQ 37.
3. Now go to the Task Usage view and set up a group with Text1 as the first group by element and Name as the second group by element. Check the box to group assignments and not tasks. Then select "assignment" for field type of the second element
(i.e. Name).
4. Apply the group
5. To show only the work hours for each resource in a specific group, autofilter on the desired group. Note, if you do not run the macro to populate the Assignment Text1 field with the Task Text1 field, the filter will yield nothing.
Hope this helps
John

Possibility to pause drawing of a scene or group of nodes temporarily

Is there any way to temporarily pause the javafx runtime drawing operations?
The issue I'm having is that I have a sort of physics simulation running with tens of different physical objects. The objects have their x and y co-ordinates
bound to circles that are used for visualization.
Now, while I'm doing the physics calculations inside Keyframe, it seems that for each location update of the objects, the screen gets a refresh and this grinds the whole simulation to snail speed.
So if there would be a way to disable the drawing temporarily, maybe the performance would be better?
Like this:
disableDrawing()
updateCoordinates()
enableDrawing()

After a quick look, I didn't see anything in the API that seems to do exactly what you are asking (I may have missed it), but I can think of a few ideas that might help:
1. The most obvious solution is to just write your own listener, or update trigger, instead of binding.
2. Are you able to drive the physics simulation yourself? If so, I would just step the physics simulation multiple times for each view keyframe, or sync the number of steps with what can actually be handled by the view (javafx). After all, animation doesn't normally exceed 30 fps, so binding the view to a model that is updated say, 90 times a second, is a bit excessive.

Displaying custom node group sequences (and their creation)

Hi,
firstly my usual disclaimer :) I am a newbie at JavaFX and only jump back in when I have a little time here and there.
What I'm trying to achieve, is to create an Object call MyItem which is essentially a Group with a rectangle, image and text. I want to be able to create multiple of these MyItem's and add them to a sequence (list, array).
Then do a foreach item MyItems --> insert into myGroup.content[];
But it keeps saying that either a Node or a Sequence is not what it's looking for...
See below which should be able to describe the problem better than my confusing explanation above:
Main.fx
package exampleitems;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.LinearGradient;
import javafx.scene.paint.Stop;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Node;
public var stg = Stage {
 title: "TestApp"
 scene: Scene {
 fill: LinearGradient {
 startX: 0.0
 startY: 0.0
 endX: 0.0
 endY: 1.0
 stops: [
 Stop {
 color: Color.web("#0c8ec4") //Color.BLACK
 offset: 0.0
 Stop {
 color: Color.web("#0a1945") //Color.GRAY
 offset: 1.0
 width: 800
 height: 600
 content: []
 resizable: false
var man=Manager{};
public function insertThem(){
 var myItemsHere = man.getItems();
 for(node in myItemsHere){
 insert node as Node into Main.stg.scene.content;
function run(){
 stg;
 insertThem();
}Manager.fx
package exampleitems;
public class Manager {
 var itemsListHolderAA=AAItems{};
 package function getItems(){
 return itemsListHolderAA.getItems();
}AAItems.fx
package exampleitems;
public class AAItems {
 var icon="{__DIR__}images/AA.png";
 package function getItems() {
 var i = 1;
 var myItems=[];
 //while(i < 10){
 insert Items{xPos: 20*i, yPos: 20*i, iconItem: icon} into myItems;
 //i++;
 return myItems;
}Items.fx
package exampleitems;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.CustomNode;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
public class Items extends CustomNode{
 public var xPos: Integer;
 public var yPos: Integer;
 public var iconItem: String;
 override protected function create () : Node {
 Rectangle {
 width: (750), height: (470/20)
 fill: Color.TRANSPARENT
 stroke: Color.web("#0c8ec4") //Color.TEAL
 strokeWidth: 1.0
 arcWidth: 20
 arcHeight: 20
 smooth: true
 ImageView {
 translateX: 2, translateY: 1
 image: Image {
 url: iconItem
 fitWidth: (470/20)
 fitHeight: (470/20)
 Text {
 translateX: ((470/20)+5)
 translateY: ((470/20)*0.666)
 font : Font {
 size: 10
 content: "Hello!"
}As you can see, my main problem seems to be that the last Node in Items.fx gets displayed, and not all three (try commenting out Text node and image appears etc...)
So, either I get the Items.fx to return as a Group (?), but then I get the error that it expects a sequence etc.
So how can I get the myItems[] in AAItems.fx to fill up with a "group" of nodes and then be able to iterate through them on the Main.fx ?
I hope that's clear? :/
What I want is a list of Items(.fx) created in AAItems(.fx) and be able to then display (iterate through) them in Main(.fx).
I'm sure it's a concept flaw on my part on how to implement it. Any help appreciated.

Oops. I guess not "exactly" what I wanted:
The Stack container arranges its managed content nodes in a back-to-front Stack. The z-order of the content is defined by the order of the content sequence with content[0] being the bottom and content[sizeof content-1] being the top...
D'Oh! Just replacing Stack with Group does the job... man... I need a holiday!!! :D
