SmartForms - draw line in template
Hi!
I am new to SF, so have a question on drawing line in a template. I use template as the data is only printed out once and is static. I have many columns in my template and I would like to draw lines on the columns so that it is tidy & looks nicer.
I double click the template & in the "output options" tab, I checked the check box "line with..", but error prompt out to stop me, saying "Boxes/Shadings are not allowed within a table".
Does anyone know how can I draw lines in a template?
Kindly advise.
best regards,
Ginnie
Hi,
Click on the template under the template tab, and then click on the select pattern just under the template heading , there you use lines.
regards,

venkat suman.Hi
I come to the same problem and google lead me here.
Not the problem of Display/Change mode or authorization.
I fix this problem as below:
1) create a new smartform and create a template
2) click the "Settings" button
3) in tab General, check the "Draw Lines and Columns", click OK
4) exit without saving
5) now I can use the "Draw Lines and Columns" button
but here when I click the Settings button again, the "Draw Lines and Columns" is unchecked.
Hope this can help
May some mentor give an explanation. -
Dear all,
I have one requirment in smartforms there are one template,in that template there are 5 lines.Now if there are no content in fifth line then lfifth line is showing empty but it accupies the space in page.Now I want if the content of fifth line is empty then space should not be accupied..
please suggest me.

AmarHi,
Then you need to use a table not a template. At template has a static size, regardless of what data populates it, if you want the size to be dynamic you need to create a table.

P.S. Your title breaks the forum rules. -
Hi there,
I would like to have a simple Effects that will draw lines in various shape such as circle, ellipse or rectangle. How do I do it ?
I need it because I want to have an effect that is drawing an ellipse over the text.
Any ideas ?
Thanksok... hmmm...
You can create control points for a line but you cannot animate the control points in FCPX. If you're okay with that, then here are the basics:
Create a new top level group. Name it OSCs.
In the Inspector, select the group and in the Group tab of the inspector, select Fixed Resolution. (It should already be set to 2D - if not - set 2D)
In the Properties > Timing pane, set the length (Duration) of the group to at least as long as your project. (this step is not important in Motion but absolutely necessary for FCPX!)
With the new group selected, add the filters you will use as control points. In general, every starts with Filters > Distortion > Poke. You will need two of them. For each Poke filter, select Publish OSC in the inspector. (I recommend renaming each filter - startOSC, endOSC for example.)
Create another new group.
Go into the Library > Content and search for Crosshair -- there's three of them, use Crosshair-Minute (they're the smallest ones.) Add two of them. (It's not necessary that they're in their own group -- just more convenient.) Rename the crosshairs: keeping with the OSCs, I recommend start and end, for example.
Draw a Line.
To the shape (line), add two Behaviors > Shape > Track Points.
Rename the Track Points: Start and End.
In the Behaviors inspector for the Track Points, drag the start Crosshair image into the Source well of the Start track points and the end Crosshair image into the End Track Points. The behavior parameters will change and you'll see a bunch of new stuff. Down at the bottom, you'll see Track 1 and Track 2 — leave one checked for one of the behaviors and the other one checked for the second behavior (that's 1 track 1 and 1 track 2.) You'll also see that the Transform is set to Mimic Source. What you need to do is click the reset button on the Checked Track of each behavior and THEN change the Transform to Attach to Source. Once you do that, the line ends will snap to crosshair images (use Properties Transform X to move the crosshairs apart temporarily.)
Next step:
Select the start crosshair and in the Inspector > Properties, dial down the Position to reveal the XYZ parameters. Right click on the X and select Add Parameter Behavior > Link. Repeat this step for the Y parameter (you cannot link Position.All for this step.)
In the Behaviors inspector, for the start crosshair:
For the Source Object, drag the OSCs group into the well.
for the X parameter
For the Source Parameter, set Filters.startOSC.Center.X for the Position.X
and set Filters.startOSC.Center.Y for the Position.Y
You will notice the line end disappear off the screen. This is normal. To correct this, at the bottom of each behavior, set the X (or Y) offset to -0.5.
Repeat for the end crosshair.
You can turn off the crosshairs (uncheck the layers.)
To test your OSCs, select *both* startOSC and endOSC (command select each layer) -- both Poke OSCs will appear and you can drag them around the canvas. The line should follow as you would expect if you've set everything up correctly.
Publish the template.
A couple of explanations:
2D fixed resolution for the OSC group: Groups in Motion that are not fixed resolution can dynamically change their boundaries. There are no fixed points of reference for Motion to calulate. If you forget to set Fixed Resolution, you can repair the condition by setting the Fixed Resolution option and then go into the Filters pane and reset the Center parameters for each Poke OSC.
Offsets of -0.5: All resolutions in the Canvas are calculated by the resolution of the X and Y dimensions of the project times the fractional position of objects (from 0.0 on the left side for X and on the bottom for Y — to 1.0 on the right side for X and on the top for Y.) The center of the canvas is 0, 0 in pixels of whatever the resolution is. To adjust the fractional position used by the OSCs (and others) to the center pixel, the value needs to be moved by 1/2 of that distance.
Clear as mud? Once you've done it a few times, it will all become second nature.
One more thing: you can publish curves... complex ones. But they have to be B-spline (you track all the points in a similar manner outlined above) and not Bezier. There's no way to control the handles for bezier curves. -
Hi everyone,
Who have a good way to draw lines on SAP form?
I created a Wizard form, and use Rectangle (Height=0) as the two lines between title and bottom button, but I met a problem, when show another form which cover the line, after close this form, some part of lines disappear, I have tried using SAP form refresh, it still can not restore showing line completely, who have good way to workaround the problem or give me another way to draw line.
Thanks in advance!
KathyThe only way I found to get a form looking really close to a standard B1 Wizard form is to use bitmaps. I use 3 - one each for the top, bottom and left hand side. The bitmaps include the line drawing and appropriate pictures/background colours. I normally define these in the XML used to create the form as in the following example:-
<item uid="PTOP" type="117" left="0" width="566" top="0" height="80" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="0" to_pane="0">
<AutoManagedAttribute/>
<specific picture="AZU_SPC_WIZ_TOP2.bmp">
<databind databound="0" table="" alias=""/>
</specific>
</item>
<item uid="PBOT" type="117" left="0" width="566" top="336" height="40" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="0" to_pane="0">
<AutoManagedAttribute/>
<specific picture="AZU_SPC_WIZ_BOT.bmp">
<databind databound="0" table="" alias=""/>
</specific>
</item>
<item uid="PLEFT" type="117" left="0" width="100" top="0" height="336" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="1" to_pane="1">
<AutoManagedAttribute/>

Creating fancy pdf-files for costumers and other purposes is great. However, if the experimental data include many datapoints (>200000) a line-2d-graph ends up in a very big pdf-file. Especially when many pages need to be used.
Explanation:
When I use lines to show experimental data in 2d-plots the size of my PDF-file is directly influenced by the number of datapoints used. The more datapoints are used to draw lines within the graph, the bigger the exported PDF-files of the report are.
It would be great to limit the number of points used to draw a line as it can be done with markers without using the curve transformation option. - Hence, e.g. plotting a line with the help of 200 datapoints is usually as good as showing the same line based on 200000 datapoints but the pdf-size is significantly reduced. You can imagine that when this would be done via the transformation option a long lasting script would be needed for each line to reduce the number of datapoints shown. Hence, the plotting within the report and the actualisation of data would need very long.
Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.

hi,
i am new to adobe illustrator cs2.
is there any other method to draw line other than s
setEntirePath().
thanks in advance,Hello David,
It sounds to me like you're witnessing the double edged sword of an incredibly sharp display. The contrast and clarity of LCD displays makes it very easy to see razor-thin lines with ultra fine definition, but this comes at a cost.
Font smoothing (a.k.a. font aliasing) is one example of where most LCDs are so sharp that most people prefer to have their text "fuzzed" up a little bit.
A one pixel wide diagonal line is another example that you've discovered - the display is so sharp that there is no blurring around the "steps" of the line. You can see every change in gradient, because as sharp as your CRT might've been, it was blurring the line just slightly - enough to enhance the illusion that your diagonal line was a line rather than a series of adjacent "steps". No software package that I know of has bothered to implement "line smoothing" yet, probably because you need the detail for accuracy when putting lines together.
Sort of related to this, big screen HDTV plasma and LCD monitors look amazing in the store when tuned to an HD station, but most people would be floored if they say how grainy and pixelated a standard cable signal looks on the same display. It's literally like watching an old VHS tape, because the display is so sharp it resolves detail that is invisible on a "lesser" display.
Neat human trick: get used to working with your LCD, and then go back to the CRT if you have a chance. How does the CRT look? I thought I needed glasses the first time I switched back!

I would like to cut and paste information from a word file onto a pdf file, as well as draw lines onto the pdf file. How can I accomplish that task? Is there software I can purchase?
Hi jgallu7382,
The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
I hope that answers your questions.
Best,

Need to draw line after the 2nd line item(Smart Forms)
Dear Friends,
I need to draw horizontal line after the 2nd line item and 3rd line item in smart forms.How can i achive this.
Plz help.
Edited by: farook shaik on May 19, 2009 8:19 AMThis is what you need to do:
1> In the tables->details section define two line types LT1 and LT2.
2> Come back to tables section pressing the table painter button.
3> Select a line type for which you want to have an underline(say LT2).
a] If the anchor cursor does not come click the draw lines and columns button( the pencil icon nutton)
b] select the line type ( it will become black after selection. Press and hold down ctrl to select
multiple cells.
c] after selection click the lower 'frame button' ( which is right at the top of box and shading).
4> Now goto data section where you have given your internal table name and work area.
a] in the sort criteria put your field POSNR and check the Event on Sort end chk box.
b] you will see an extra node under the main area of the table.
c] Create a table line with the line type LT2 in the node.
d]Also in the Main area add another table line with LT1 as the line type.
5> If POSNR remains unchnged LT1 will be triggered.
6> if Posnr changes then LT2 will be triggered with the underline.
This will suffice your requirement. -
How to use parameter option in smartform program line.
HI all,
how can i give parameter for matnr directly in smartform program line, it wont take gives a dump
i don wanna create a separate driver program for that.
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "/1BCDWB/SF00000001============FT" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

how can i solved this.
Kavinath B.Hi,
You can not code
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK.
SELECT-OPTIONS selcrit FOR (name).
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK.
like this in smartform program line it wont allow
all you have to do is create a driver program
for smartform create a selection screen and call smartform by
n pass variables or internal tables.
call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
exporting
formname =
* VARIANT = ' '
* DIRECT_CALL = ' '
* IMPORTING
* FM_NAME =
* EXCEPTIONS
* NO_FORM = 1
* NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
* OTHERS = 3
if sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.
I hope it will help u

How can get a Graphics to draw line on screen?
How can get a Graphics to draw line on screen?
Now, I can get a Graphics to draw line based on component. For example JPanel, but I want to get a Graphics to draw line on screen.By drawing on the screen, I assume you mean drawing outside the bounds of a top-level window like
JFrame or JDialog. You can't do that. At least, without going native and even then that's a dodgey thing
for any platform to let you do. One thing you can do is simulate it with a robot's screen capture:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class X {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Rectangle bounds = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getMaximumWindowBounds();
BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(bounds);
Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(20));
g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
g2.drawLine(0, 0, bounds.width, bounds.height);
g2.drawLine(bounds.width, 0, 0, bounds.height);
g2.dispose();
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
System.exit(0);
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setUndecorated(true);
f.getContentPane().add(label);
f.setBounds(bounds);
f.setVisible(true);
