Painting

Question:
The game I am making in Swing involves objects moving around a grid. The way I create the animation is as follows...
I have all my characters in JLabels as images. If I want a character to move left I simply call the setBounds method on the JLabel to the new location.
1) So my question is I guess this setBounds method inherently calls paint or repaint?
2) Will this paint the entire container the JLabels are in?
I ask because as I get better graphics I want to maintain quick code and do this the right way, if the graphics get too heavy I might need to overwrite the paint method?

It will repaint the old position and the new position.
Wow, that is perfect! that is what I anticipated getting the paint method
to do if I overrode it, this is a direct result of using Swing I guess? Actually, I should modify my above statement. It will repaint the intersection of the old location and the new location. So if you are just moving the image by a few pixels it will repaint a small area. If you are moving the image from the top of the frame to the bottom, it will repaint all the "extra space" in the middle as well.
Just changing the location of a component is the simplest way to code the problem, but it can be slower as the number of components increases. But you approach of changing all the locations at one time and then doing a single repaint is the most efficient.
Managing the painting of each component yourself in the paintComponent() method will the the fastest, but the code is much more involved.

Logical Formulae in Report Painter

Hi,
How do we insert a logical formula in a report painter.
For instance, "IF-THEN-ELSE".
Your early replies would be appreciated..

You would create a formula column in reports or formula variables to use in columns.

if (wt > max)This forum doesn't quite handle <> properly. The greater and less than symbols. So above you will see > this is the html character code for a greater than symbol so please read it as such.
And then if wt is greater than max then it will say "Your overweight".
But I can't figure out how to include it in the above program. Becuase it won't run in paint, atleast it won't the way I have done it previously. So can you think of any other ways?

Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!

Error while opening a screen painter

Hi all,
I am trying to modify a screen in SE80. But when i am clicking on the screen painter it shows 'EU_SCRP_WN32 : timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'
Message no. 37033. Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Priti

For the Future Problem Facers:
I too faced the same problem and the below steps helped me.
Re: SFLIGHT is NOT defined for the current logical database.
You can check the completeness of the program installation by starting the program gneux.exe locally in the SAPGUI directory (for example, by double-clicking on the program name in the Explorer window).The Layout Editor is displayed with German texts and an empty drawing area for the pseudo screen EUSPDYND 0000.
If the installation is not complete, an error dialog box provides information regarding the cause of the error, for example, sometimes the DLL eumfcdll.dll is missing after reinstalling the SAPGUI. For example, the eumfcdll.dll DLL was sometimes missing after the SAPGUI was reinstalled.

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

Changing header in report painter

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change the header(column). I am using the global variable &5PY(Period/Year) in the characterictics value. So it displays an output like 06.2008. But the client needs this to be displayed as June 2008.
Kindly help me out with this.
Regards,
Karthik

In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.

Dynamic Rows in Report Painter

Hello everyone,
I'm new to report painter and m using the SAP Library help material to understand report painter. I've one query though i.e
Is it possible to create a report hrough report painter with dynamic rows ? if yes then pls let me know how.
Regards
Anik

Thank you.
See I have the below Rows
Total Revenue
Cost2
Cost3
Direct Cost
Gross = Total revenue - Direct Cost
Gross % = (Gross/Total revenue ) * 100
I have Columns as with basic Key figures and Formulas
Year(basic key Figure)
Year+1(basic key Figure)
Total = Year + (Year+1)
Its giving me correct values in case of Basic Key figures and not in the formula case.
It giving error when there is formula both in Row and Column.
In the above case last row and last colum. Only Column formula is getting implemented.
Here for example I have mentioned 4 rows and 4 columns.. But I have 15 Rows and 30 columns .. out of which 15 rows and columns have formulas...
% Rows are problem.. which gives me errors... I tried using Special cells, but I am not 100% sure how to use them.
I would be very thankful if you can help me out.. Please

Strange discrepancy in report painter

Hi everyone,
I've designed a report painter with all the respective columns & formulas intact but at the Grand Total col (summation of all the sub-totals), the figure doesn't tally with all the sub-totals. All sub-totals have been added correctly but when they are added up to the Grand Total, the fig doesn't tie.
Any clues? Have I missed out something?

Hi Andrew,
I've checked the sub-totals and apparently, when i double click on a sub-total to drill down to line item lvl, the fig doesn't seem to tie in with what I see in the report painter report. It's real strange that the correct fig appears upon drilling down to line item level but at a higher level, the fig isn't right. It's short of a fig which is in relation to another column.
I've double checked the formula at the sub-total col and all the cols in the formula are present. This is the bizarre thing which I've been trying to resolve for the past few days.
Best Regards,
Ethan
