Problem with resizing canvas

PSE 8, Windows XP
Attempting to resize the canvas I entire a width and a lenght. I leave the position square in the middle. I click OK. The canvas extension appears only at the bottom of the photo, not all around as it does in PSE 3. I tried relative. Same result, just new canvas at the bottom. I checked Barbara Brundage's book and it should work the same as it does in PSE 3 but doesn't. I also went to PSE "Learn more about canvas size". It also shows that my canvas extensions should show all around. It also suggests that I should be able to choose a background color, but that option is grayed out for me.
I know I can just do what I want to do using PSE 3 which I kept on my computer for emergencies just like this, but I would like to solve the problem.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks. Eva

Eva,
Works fine in my PSE8 on Win XP. I see the following options (sorry, I only have a German version available):
The image centers just fine. Are you sure you're seing the entire image (ctrl-0)? What's the image format you're working on (PSD, JPG, 8-Bit, 16-Bit)?

Problems with resizable container

Hi,
I have a resizable JPanel with cubes inside it.
The problem is when I resize the JPanel the cubes inside it gets resized only after I move the borders of the JPanel ~14 pixels...
The problem is in the X axis...
The Y axis "jumps" every ~5 pixels...
I need content of the JPanel also to resize every 1 pixel (so it would be on the borders of the JPanel)...
Any Ideas?

I guess that the only solution is NOT to use gridLayoutWell that would explain the behaviour. It would have been nice if that information was included in the original question. Thats why I always ask for a SSCCE, since you never no what information is importan or not.
All components in a GridLayout have the same size. So if you have a Grid with 10 component that is 400 pixels wide each component will be 40 pixels wide. As suggested above the size of each component will only be adjusted when you incread the width by 10 or more (since you have 10 components in each row).
Doing it manually would also be a pain. If you increase the width by 1 pixel you would only be able to increase the size of one component. Then if you increase it by one pixel again you can only change one component, so do you change the first one again or the second. So now you need an algorithm to determine which component gets the extra space.
I need content of the JPanel also to resize every 1 pixel (so it would be on the borders of the JPanel)...Don't know exactly what your layout is like, but maybe you could center the panel in the frame. That way as you change the size the "border" will change on both sides and it may not look as bad.
You can try using a BoxLayout. Components will grow as the size is increased but I think you might have problems with the first components always growing first.

Problem with resizing the new Pages window

I can't get my Pages Window any smaller, it says (if I use Window Tidy for example) that the window size was restricted.
With the old Pages I used to have two Pages-windows open right next to each other, so I coul work on two documents at the same time. Now that i can't resize them anymore (only making them bigger is possible) they don't fit on the screen anymore.
Anyone having the same problem, maybe even a solution?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Posting here is only talking to fellow users.
Dump Pages 5 and go back to Pages '09, then give proper feedback on either Apple's website or the App Store.
The App Store is probably the best place as it is public and a bad review has more impact than private entreaties to Apple.

Problems with resizing video

I have a video which I would like to be able to play on my HTC Hero smartphone. The video size is 480 x 272 pixels. According to my friend, I have to resize it to fit in my smartphone device resolution, which is 3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 320x480 HVGA resolution. However, I installed QuickTime Pro 7. I tried to resize it under Inspector Movies Property and I get an error saying that the timecode is invalid or something like that. I also noticed the file size would be in kilobytes than in megabytes. I tried extracting the video and editing from there but that did not work.
The problem is when I tried to play it on my smartphone, I cannot get the picture, I get a blank green coloured screen. The audio track work fine.

I have both Flip4Mac WMV and Perian installed. I do not have DIVX installed. You want me to convert the video? If so, which format? Alright then, I will send you a sample of the video.
If you have one of the "Studio" ($49 or more) level versions of Flip4Mac installed, I would recommend a WMV conversion since it is very standardized and specifically mentioned as being supported by your device. (Even if you only have the free player installed, you should be able to make up to a 30-second "demo" conversion for testing purposes.) Converting to Perian AVI could be iffy but your could try an MPEG4, H264, or H264 video with AAC, MP3, or WAV audio. (Official AVI support was dropped by originator a decade ago but Windows seem unwilling to "move on" to more modern file types.) The mere fact that WMV support is specifically mentioned leads me to think the multimedia player may be more "Windows" based than Mac based. Let us know how your test turns out as this may be an issue for other Mac users of this device.
I only have the free player and I am not very keen on paying $49 or more for these softwares. It is far fetch for me. I will make an attempt to try to convert the video and see what happen.
Erm...How do I do this? I had a look in System Preferences.

Problems with resizing a JFrame

Hello people! I'm having a problem setting the size of a JFrame while it is visible. Just resizing it by hand with the mouse is no problems, everything works ok, but when I call the setSize(blabla) method, the contents of the window doesn't notice that it has more space to draw the components on. The result is that the extended area of the window is just plainly white... until I resize it by hand, then everything looks ok. Does anyone have a solution? repaint() doesn't help...
/Erik

hay svenmeier...
I'm all confused with the pack() method... I don't like it :) It always sets the size 2 pixels too large in windows 9x/Nt/2k/xp. Of course that's adjustable, but I'm unsure whether it will be the same on all other platforms. It's just one problem that I have that I have never been able to solve. Asking people around here for a solution never helped, because it seems others do not have this particular problem.
So, to me it seems that the most reliable way to set the size of a frame is to first set it visible, and then resize it with respect to the insets.

Problem with Stacked Canvas

Hi,
I have prepared a stacked canvas on a content canvas.
Both content and stacked canvas are based on the same data block. In the data block 2 items are on content canvas and the remaining are on stacked canvas. I have also a scroll bar on the content canvas so that we can scroll to the right as there are many items on it.
so 1st and 2nd fields are on the content canvas and remaining ones are on stacked canvas.when i tab out of the 1st field stacked canvas goes invisible, but when i tab out of the 2nd field stacked canvas again comes back.
How can i avoid this?
I want the stacked canvas always to be displayed when i tab out from any where.
One more problem is, when i click on the 2nd field the stacked canvas goes invisible too
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandeep

Check if the second item overlaps the area of the stacked canvas. Forms always makes the current item be displayed fully and therefore hides all areas which would overlap the item.

Simple Problem with Stacked Canvas, I hope

Hello all,
I am become a bit frustrated with what I thought would be a simple form development solution. I am trying to create a form with a stacked canvas that will display about 20 fields that can be scrolled through. This is the detail
Total of 25 fields
5 Fields on the content canvas
20 Fields on the stacked canvas
I created the first canvas that originally contained all 25 fields. Then I created the stacked canvas and moved the appropriate fields to the stacked canvas. Using the forms builder editor, I positioned my stacked canvas as such so that it would not overlap the last field on the content canvas or visa versa. This is a form being developed for Oracle EBus. Whenever I run the form in the apps, the stacked canvas is not visible. It only becomes visible when the 1st field on the canvas has focus. When the stacked canvas becomes visible, it shows all of the items of the stacked canvas and not just the ones that I included in the viewpoint. Once I tab through the last field of the stacked canvas, it goes back to the first field on the content canvas and the stacked canvas disappears. At this point I am not doing anything complicated, but for whatever reason this just is NOT working. Any advice anyone can provide, I would very much appreciate it. This is VERY frustrating.
Thank you in advance.

Step No. 1
Set the STACKED CANVAS's property VIEWPORT WIDTH AND VIEWPORT HEIGHT
This property determines what viewable width and height of the stacked canvas at runtime.
Set SHOW HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR or SHOW VERTICAL SCROLL BAR or BOTH as YES so that you can scroll down to view all the items in the CANVAS.
Step NO.2
In your WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, write the code to make the canvas visible
SHOW_VIEW('stack_canvas_name');

'Easy Set-up' Option - Problem with edit canvas/windows - really need help!

Hello Everyone. . .
Have a problem that i really need help with, i have tried so many different things to sort this - but with no sucess.
I usually work in High Definition and i have recently done a small project for someone in DV. When changing to work in DV, i selected the DV setup from the 'Easy Setup' menu. I have now changed back to HD and there are a few things different with Final Cut that i can't shift!
When i move a clip from the capture bin into the edit window, the clip no longer fills that window like it always used to and there are lines at the top and the bottom of the clip - almost like it is in widescreen.
Editing like this wasn't too much of a problem, but when i came to compress and do a final render of the whole film - there was the same black lines on the top and bottom of the film.
I can't figure out how to get the setting back to how they were, and have the clips fill the edit windows and fix the end render/compress.
Any ideas from anyone on what i am experiancing with all this? And. . . how to fix this problem?
Any help on all this will be very much appreciated!

Very basic problem with a Canvas and JScrollPane

Ok, I'm making this software, with a lot of graphics, and as usual I start all classes alone to see them work and then I put them together in one nice JFrame with MenuBar and so on... but something strange (to me) happened when I made a JScrollPane with some of the Canvas because I couldn't make them for 1024x768 because of its contents.... so I add this JScrollPane to the TabbedPane as a new tab, so I have in my JFrame: the menubar, the tabbedpane and the canvas with a vertical scrollbar in the right, BUT, when I scroll down, the Canvas starts to scroll over the tabbedpane and the menubar!
very wierd to me, I know one must try to not use scrollbars, but I really need this to work this way!
thanks!!

Problem With a Canvas Pane.

Hello.
I need implement a Print Preview for my application, and I use a Canvas Pane for perform the custom painting.
Everything works very well, with the exception that the canvas, is drawing outside of the bounds of the scrool panel who contains it. My question is, How I maintain my canvas, within the pane who contains it?
My code is:
     public static void myPreview() {
          createPreview(); // Here is where I create the canvas ans perform custom painting.
          // For centering the canvas.
          JPanel myPane = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          myPane.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
          myPane.add(new JScrollPane(myCanvas));
          previewPane.add(myPane);
          previewPane.setVisible(true);
     }Best Regards

I tried that but then it slows down all actions.For example,clicking and dragging actions become very slow.Even opening a JDialog takes a long time.

Problem with my Canvas Viewer

Never had this problem before in over 8 years of Final cut editing...
No images appear in my canvas viewer when I am editing! The canvas viewer is there, but no images appear when the playback is idol.
Obviously this is pain in the neck if I want to position images, crop images, layer images on top of each other, etc.
However, when I press "play", the playback in the canvas viewer works fine. I can watch everything that is in the timeline just fine. But once I stop the player, whichever point I stop at, that image is frozen there, until I press play again. Even when I click a new point on the timeline, the frozen image does not change.
I just spent half a day clearing out my hard-drive. The Ram disc space says it's okay. And I even ran a disk utility check.
*** FCP!
Any suggestions? Anyone ever have this problem?

Hi - Make sure the Canvas is set to display RGB:

Problem with resizing on Photosmart Premier program on my 4240 series 400 Photosmart Printer

I went to "create" on my HP Premier program and made a calendar with it. I am trying to print out that calendar but it won't make it small enough to print off on an 8x10 format. It comes up like 16x20 or so no matter what I do, ie, with white borders, scale to fit 8x10 paper, letter sized, scaled to fit onto letter size, etc, etc. I am using the calendar form provided by the HP Premier so I would think I must just be doing something really wrong for it to not print out the correct size for me. Can you tell me what I need to do to make the entire calendar print off on one sheet of paper?

Hi Gannato.
You may want to try the print-at-home calendar project in HP Photo Creations. It offers multiple output sizes, from 8½ x 11 to 13x19. HP Photo Creations is a free download for Mac and Windows at www.hp.com/go/hppc.
You can start your calendars on any month. With the ship-to-home calendar project, you can customize the grid section as well by dragging images there. Place a picture of Grandma on her birthday, or a heart graphic on your anniversary day.
Another fun feature: On the print-at-home calendar, try resizing the calendar grid by dragging the bottom right corner. The 12 squares line up in different layouts, such as 3x4, 4x3, 2x6, and 12x1.
Hope this helps,

Problem with rotated canvas in Illustrator

I'm having a strange problem here. Friend of mine sent me a screen grab of her Illustrator workspace - it seems the artboard got rotated somehow. And she can't get it to straighten back... Neither can I, or any of our friends of designing persuasion... I wasn't even aware you can do that in Illustrator. Anyway, the question is, how do you undo this? All the new files start already rotated, too.
Screen grab follows:

Problem with AreaChart canvas.addDataChild()

Hello.
canvas.addDataChild(hint,_x,_y) works incorrectly. I don't know why).
I want to when you click it added a hint. There is no reaction after click. I use DateTimeAxis.
If I set a direct values (canvas.addDataChild (hint, 50,50)), the graph is redrawn and added point scale. Mistification).
Source:
<mx:AreaChart ... itemClick="handleChange(event)" >

     actions = e.hitData.item.actions;
     addLabelsToColumn(hint,date,actions);

     hint.text = _hint;
     canvas.addDataChild(hint,_x,_y);

Thanks in advance.

Upd. I added a few lines for the trace.
canvas.addDataChild(hint,_x,_y);
var lab= canvas.getChildAt(canvas.numChildren -1);
trace(lab.text);
(in console: 9 actions)
The hint is added but its coords are equal: 0,0. And hint is not displayed.
