Simple graphic program?

I'm looking for a simple graphic program. Even Elements is overkill (price is fine but learning curve is a bit much for what I need)
What I want to do is add text and arrows to pics. (pointing out spots)
And highlight an area (or more preferably dim out the surrounding area)

Try [Seashore|http://seashore.sourceforge.net/TheSeashoreProject/About.html]. It's pretty simple, and even better, it's free!

Simple graphical program, which language/library?

Hi all,
I need to visualize (moving) squares in a grid. (The program will be made in OO approach.)
There also could be a timer functionality to pause the movement or view it slower/faster.
However I have no experience with graphical output except using Java, and I'd peferably not use Java.
Also I only know C++, Java and Scheme so far, but could learn another language.
Would it be a good idea to use C++ with the Allegro library, or e.g. something different like Python with TkInter? What would you recommend?

Why, of course I recommend Qt, with use of a QGraphicsView. ;-)
I don't know much of Allegro having chosen to learn SDL instead, but I understand both have C++ wrappers available. If Allegro is anything like SDL (and supposedly it is), then your project should be fairly easy to implement with it.
I still prefer a QGraphicsView over SDL though, much cleaner API and thoroughly OO. Nicely supports SVG and PNG+Alpha channels. There are multiple compositing modes (overlay, multiply etc), plus great animation and state machine frameworks!
Tons of examples and demos available too. You can see them if you install qt-doc and go to /usr/share/doc/qt/
And if you don't mind trying something really, really new, I'd bet you could whip up a grid of moving squares in Qt's brand-new QML faster than absolutely anything else (pygame, javascript etc included! Maybe not flash, but meh....).
(I'm not a shill if the software's open-source, right? )

I need Java code for a simple graphical hit counter for a webpage

I was wondering if anybody out there could send me some code for a simple graphical hit counter for a webpage. All the sites that I've visited are garbage and of no use to me. Please help me.
Colin

Not as easy as you'd imagine with applets. You need some way to store the hits, usually through a file on the server. That's not gonna happen in a hurry for 2 reasons -
- Applets can't read/write files
- Your web server usually won't let you run programs on their machine (ie, programs that listen for socket connections from applets, then load/read/write/close a file).
In short, no, there is no simple java solution (that I know of).

Simple chat program

Hi! I would like to implement a simple chat program for iphone (i know that many others still exist). My doubt is about the chat window. I need something like a view or a tableCell to add at the window every time i recieve or write a message, and the view where the conversation happens need to be "slidable"...how can i do this thing? Any suggestion?

There is no standard control that will help you do this. You will most likely want to implement a custom UIScrollView. Within that you will place custom controls programatically to render the conversation or just manage the offsets yourself and draw the text and graphics by overriding the drawRect method.

I did write a simple java program but it is not working please help me.....

This is the program I wrote LineRect just to draw a line a rectangle etc...... Y it is not working How can i used the same program to run without using applet that is by using awt and swing.........Pls Help me.............
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
public class LineRect
{public void paint(Graphics g)
     {g.drawLine(10,10, 50,50);
     g.drawRect(10, 60, 40,30);
     g.fillRect(60,10,30,80);
     g.drawRoundRect(10,100,80,50,10,10);
     g.fillRoundRect(20,110,60,30,5,5);
     g.drawLine(100,10,230,140);
     g.drawLine(100,140,230,10);
<APPLET
CODE =LineRect.class
WIDTH=250
HEIGHT=200>
</APPLET>

There are many significant errors here for instance you are using a class file as if it were an applet yet you do not subclass applet. Your code has no init method (if it is to be an applet). Your best bet is to go through the tutorials one step at a time. One thing to consider is to subclass a JPanel and draw on the jpanel overriding the paintComponent method. This can then be added to a JFrame or a JApplet's contentPane and would allow the same graphics in both. But again, please study the tutorials on all of this, otherwise you will be doing hit-or-miss programming, and that is no way to learn.
Much luck!
Addendum: Also, if you are just beginning in Java programming, I suggest you start with the basics and not with Swing / AWT / graphics programming. Otherwise you will just end up bruised and disappointed. You have to learn to walk before you can run.

"Assertion failed" error when executing a simple UCI program

I am using a simple UCI program (tt1.c) with Xmath version 7.0.1 on Sloaris 2.8 that performs the followings:
- Start Xmath701
- Sleep 10 Seconds
- Load a sysbuild model
- Stop Xmath
I am calling the uci executable using the following command:
> /usr/local/apps/matrixx-7.0.1/bin/xmath -call tt1 &
In this way everything works fine and the following printouts from the program are produced.
--------- uci printout ----------
## Starting Xmath 701
## sleep 10 seconds
## load "case_h_cs_ds.xmd";
## Stopping Xmath 701
All the processes (tt1, XMATH, xmath_mon, and sysbld) terminate correctly.
The problem occurs if the 10 second wait after starting xmath is omitted:
- Start Xmath701
- Load a sysbuild model
- Stop Xmath
This results to the following printouts:
--------- uci printout ----------
## Starting Xmath 701
## load "case_h_cs_ds.xmd";
Assertion failed: file "/vob1/xm/ipc/ipc.cxx", line 420 errno 0.
Note that the last line is not produced by the uci program and the tt1 did not
finish (the printout before stopping xmath "## Stopping Xmath 701" was
not produced).
A call to the unix "ps -ef" utility shows that none of the related process has been terminated:
fs085312 27631 20243 0 10:45:29 pts/27 0:00 tt1

fs085312 25473 25446 0 10:45:33 ? 0:01 sysbld ++ 19 4 7 6 5 8 9 0 25446 ++
The questions are as follows:
1- What is "Assertion failed: file "/vob1/xm/ipc/ipc.cxx", line 420 errno 0" and why is that produced?
2- Should the UCI program waits for end of sysbld initialization before issuing commands?
3- If the answer to the above question is yes, is there a way to check the termination of sysbld initialization?
Thanks in advance for you help.

I tracked down the problem and it is a race condition between the many processes being started up. A smaller delay should also solve the problem. Or, maybe do something else before the first 'load'. The 'load' command tries to launch systembuild and causes the race condition.

Weblogic error while deplying a simple servlet program

Hi This is a very simple servlet program.
I am trying to deploy it on the weblogic server but i get this error as follow
Unable to access the selected application.

I'm not able to run a simple Hello Program in java

I have just now installed jdk 1.3.1_2.
I have set the path and class path.
I'm able to compile the class without any errors but am not able to run the program.
when i say java Hello(after compiling Hello.java), i'm seeing the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoclassDefFoundError:Hello
Thanks in advance in this regard

Hmm..
Okay.. set aside any import or package stuffs.. lets say about a simple HelloWorld program which is called Hello.class. It resides in c:\, which means the full path is c:\Hello.class.
Make sure you got one of your path as c:\jdk1.3\bin(assuming you are using jdk 1.3).
If you are in the same directory as Hello.class, which is c:\>, you can execute the class file by typing:
C:\>java Hello
If you are not in the same directory and you wishes to run the class file, example you are in directory temp now:
C:\Temp>java -cp C:\ Hello
So the cp set will be just c:\. Hope that answers your question somehow.. well... if I never intepret it wrongly.

I am not willing to wade through the code, but this portion makes me conjecture your using an Oracle connect string instead of a class name.

I need ready code for a simple paint program today

hi all I need ready code for a simple paint program today for me ics projct
plz give me a halp on this give me what you have with you and it is so good if it look like this :
Design a GUI based drawing Java application that works like a simple paint program
1-There should be a number of buttons for choosing different shapes to draw. For example, there should be a button for rectangle. If user presses the rectangle button, then he can draw a rectangle using mouse. Similarly, there should be a button for each shape(rectangle, circle, ellipse, and line etc.
2-The shapes can be filled with different colors.
3-There should be option of moving .
4- There should also be three menus including File, Shape, and Color menu.
i. File menu can have menu items New and Exit. If user selects New, the drawing area will be cleared and all shapes will be erased.
ii. Shape menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 2 described above. It will have menu items for drawing all the different shapes. For example, there will be menu item for rectangle; so user can draw a rectangle by selecting the menu item for rectangle.
iii. Color menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 3 described above. It will have menu items for all the colors which are shown in color buttons. The user can select a color from this menu and then click inside a shape to fill it with the selected color.

Read the Swing tutorial. There are sections on how to use menus and painting and all other kinds of stuff you need to do this homework assignment. Nobody here is going to write the code for you:

Need help on with simple email program

i have been set a task to create a simple email program that has the variables of the sender the recipient the subject the content and a date object representing when the email was sent (this is just to be set to the current system date)
It also needs to include a constructor with four String arguments, i.e the sender, receiver, subject and content. The constructor has to initialise the date of the email then transfer the values of the input parameters to the relevant attributes. If any values of the strings aren'nt given, the string �Unknown� should be set as the value.
I was given a java file to test the one i am to create, but some of the values are not given, if anyone could be of anyhelp or just point me in the right direction then i would be very greatfull, ive posted the code for the test file i have been given below, thanks.
public class SimpleEmailTest {
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          SimpleEmail email;     // email object to test.
          String whoFrom;          // sender
          String whoTo;          // recipient
          String subject;          // subject matter
          String content;          // text content of email
          static final String notKnown = "Unknown";
          email = new SimpleEmail
(notKnown, notKnown, notKnown, notKnown);
          System.out.println( "SimpleEmail: " +
"\n    From: " + email.getSender() +
"\n      To: " + email.getRecipient() +
"\n Subject: " + email.getSubject() +
"\n    Date: " +
email.getDate().toString() +
"\n Message: \n" + email.getContent() + "\n";
          email.setSender( "Jimmy Testsender");
          email.setRecipient( "Sheena Receiver");
          email.setSubject( "How are you today?");
          email.setContent( "I just wrote an email class!");
          System.out.println( "SimpleEmail: " +
"\n    From: " + email.getSender() +
"\n      To: " + email.getRecipient() +
"\n Subject: " + email.getSubject() +
"\n    Date: " +
email.getDate().toString() +
"\n Message: \n" + email.getContent() + "\n";
     }

Start by writing a class named SimpleEmail, implement a constructor with four arguments in it, and the methods that the test code calls, such as the get...() and set...() methods. The class probably needs four member variables too.
public class SimpleEmail {

Simple Tracking program

Hi
I am still learning the techniques of java and would like some help if possible. I am trying to create a simple tracking program which tracks what letter has been typed. For example if an A was pressed then the A label would turn blue. Then if another key was pressed then it would return to its default state white. I have created all the various labels for each letter and now have to do the programming of the tracking.I want it in the end to work out that when each letter key is typed on the keyboard then their various label would turn blue. If any of you have any hints or tutorials that would help me with it, I would be thankful.

I am still learning the techniques of java and would like some help if possible.Still learning how to ask a question as well I see. Much information is missing. For example:
a) is this Swing or AWT (there are separate forums for each, instead of using the general programming forum)
b) what kind of component has focus. A text field a panel?
In general, you would probably use a KeyListener or a DocumentListener. Read the [Swing Tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html] for examples of both.
