Transparent graphics in reports

Hello,
Im embedding graphics (OGD files from graphics builder) into reports (RPT files) to view it from the web.
In design time I can set the graphic transparent but when I publish it to the web the gif becomes opaque.
Is there any issue about how to make this gif transparent?

hello,
graphics is not capable of creating gif89a images which would be required to make the background transparent.
regards,

Latest Adobe Acrobat X doesn't support PNG transparent graphic?

So in the past using version 8.x I had no problem inserting graphics, including a signature that is a transparent PNG. Now with the update to the latest studio 5.5 which came with Acrobat X 10.1.1 when trying to insert that graphic (which took a while to figure out how to do, edit object, right click ,insert image), it blocks out the lines/etc that are part of the document (it doesn't block out the other fields where I put edit fields), but it shouldn't be because it's a transparent graphic (PNG).

After reading a few other articles in this forum about smilar problems I found the answer myself: While Photoshop uses the ICA driver provided by Apple Acrobat doesn't. Acrobat requires the installation of the drivers and software provided by EPSON. This package can be found on the EPSON web site, but only when searching for drivers for Mac OS X.6 that also run on OS X.7.

Ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012 place moving graphics in report while it is executing

In a new ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012 report application, I want to add some graphics to
the report(s). I know that you can embedded a graphic in the ssrs report. However I would like to be able to do one or more of the items I am listing below:
1. In one or two spots, I would like to have the pictures change. The picture would display for 5 to 60 seconds and then a new graphic would show up.
2. I would like the possibility of one graphic being displayed while the entire ssrs report is executing. The next time the report is executing, a new graphic would be displayed.
3. I would like a 'slideshow' of graphics being displayed. The slideshow would be dsiplayed in in the same sequence.
4. I would like to obtain the graphics from an open show (free) location for a non profit public school system.
Thus can you tell me if any of the options I listed above are possibly? If so, can you tell me what option I can embed in a report and how to accomplish the goal in the ssrs report?
Also if you have any other ideas about graphics in the report, can you tell me what thse option(s) are and how would I accomplish this goal?

Hi wendy,
In Reporting Services, if we want to only display one graphic in some time, and display other graphics in other times in a report. So that the all graphics are alternatively displayed in the report. In this scenario, we can set the AutoRefresh property of
the report to x number of seconds for the changes to occur, then set the visibility property of graphics based on AutoRefresh length we have set. For more details, please see the steps below:
Set the AutoRefresh property of the report to 15 seconds (supposing there are 4 graphics in the report (60/4=15)).
Insert all graphics in the report.
Use the following expressions to control the visibility of graphics.
Graphic 1:=IIf(Second(Now()) < 15, False, True) the first graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the first 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will be hidden.
Graphic 2:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 15 AND Second(Now()) < 30, False, True) the second graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the second 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will
be hidden.
Graphic 3:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 30 AND Second(Now()) < 45, False, True) the third graphic will will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the third 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will
be hidden.
Graphic 4:=IIf(Second(Now()) >= 45, False, True) the fourth graphic will show if the AutoRefresh occurred during the fourth 15 second block of the current minute, all other times during that minute it will be hidden.
Besides, we cannot display the image with dynamic form by using External Image Option, it will be replaced with static form. So if we want to show slideshow in the report, we can also refer to the following thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/62b0317b-1458-4d91-9fdd-00c4bbe791f7/ssrs-report-slideshow-on-autorefrsh?forum=sqlreportingservices
Hope this helps.

Getting a semi-transparent graphic onto a spot plate in InDesign CS6

I'm struggling to get elements of a design onto the fifth colour plate in my InDesign file. Example is shown below. I have made a number of rough-edged strips that retain an element of semi-transparency along their edges (so that the background shows through slightly and gives a brushed/painted on effect). The client needs these elements to be on a fifth plate, Pantone 1385.
I have tried making the graphic as a greyscale psd and as a greyscale tiff with transparency included, but I can't seem to select within InDesign using the content tool and making it on the fifth plate in my ID palette.
Have done it as a CMYK psd for time being on example below just to allow me to show the client as a visual.
Can anyone help me? I have also (briefly) explored channels in Photoshop as well but can't make and headway there too. Is there a simple solution?
Many thanks for any advice.

Thanks for reply, but I think this loses me all transparency?
Make your grayscale file a transparent Monotone like this:
In ID fill the background of the image frame with black:

White lines on transparancy graphics in Illustrator

Hi Guys
I don't quite know how to explain this but I just bought a vector on a renowned vector stock website.
When I opened it, I noticed that there was this pop-up showing up:
I clicked YES and the file opened.
This is what it looks like in "Preview"
You see the white lines near to the "glows" applied on the green elements?
I also noticed these:
See the fine - - - lines under <Path> ?
Does anyone know how to fix this because even when saving to PDF etc. the white lines on the graphics appear
Many thanks!
Bob

Hi,
I found out that the white underlining dotted line in the layers name disappears when I do "Flatten Transparency".
About the white lines around the glows etc.: only possible option to remove them was to "Flatten Transparency"...
I noticed that the glowing layers were "Opacity Masked", maybe that is the reason why it didn't show as it should with white lines?
Another question: The glows had Transparency Masks applied to them, but when I wanted to do sth with the opacity mask, I noticed that the mask itself was set next to the artboard? Does anyone know why they made it like this?
And what about the symbols? How can I solve that?
Many thanks!
Bob

How pass parameter from Form to Graphics through Report?

I wrote a Report called by a Form and pass a parameter from the
Form to the Report, successfully! But I imported a Graphic in
the Report, and the Graphic could not get the parameter...(the
parameter in the Report and Graphic should both pass from the
Form).
I call the Report by " Run_Product( REPORTS, :V_PRTNAME,
SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL); " in the Form.
and I imported the image from file for the Graphic in the Report.
Thanks for your help!

Embedding Graphics in Reports

I have a report in which I would like to embed a graph. I used the chart wizard in the report builder to design the graph with the data I want to see. When I run the report though, it gives me a "rep-1246: chart document not found." I presume that this means I need to physically save the graphics display. But how do I do this without using Oracle Graphics?
I appreciate any help.
Paul

I have no clue what you have downloaded. That file could be just anything. What do I know? Please specify where you downloaded it from, give us the URL, but not the URL that points directly to the tar file.

Transparent Graph in Reports 10g

Hi everybody,
Can you tell me how can I create graph with transparent background? Yes, of course I read Graph faq (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/faq/graph_faq_with_style.html#q31) but I need create graph with transparent background and not graph with image in background....
Thanks for your help

I got this to work in the web layout. First, I modified the <BODY ...> tag to include a background image. Then I added the following code to the Web Source right before the </BODY> tag:
<rw:graph id="graph" src="G_1" series="dname" dataValues="deptno">

</rw:graph>The graph is transparent and the background image shows through it.
In the Paper Layout, this doesn't work - the transparent areas of the graph are black.

HELP ME! Embedding Graphics in Reports.

I am trying to embed an Oracle Graph (from Graphics) in a report, but when I try to run the report I get a REP-0075 error followed by an OG-01603 "Unable to create PL/SQL Development Environment Context" Error. Then when I click OK, I get another error window that has a REP-0619 "You cannot run without a layout" error. I'm stumped. I the code for the OG error says that its an abnormal condition and I should call Oracle support. Is this so? If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know how, and if, you fixed it (even if by email).
Thanks,
Paul

Freehand could do it. InDesign can do it now. Sadly, Illustrator can't, and never could.

Graphics in report builder 6i not working in a 64 bit enviroment

thanks

Anyone can help me ? Thanks

Transparent graphic not completely transparent

I have a line graph on which a gradient arc has been built in the lower left corner. This was in a Freehand file (created by a coworker) I've imported into Illustrator CS2 and am updating.
In this file I am importing a graphic from Photoshop that has a transparent background.
The entire graph, including the line and type shows through the transparent background of the imported graphic.
But the areas of the gradient arc under the imported graphic show a white box where the transparent background should be. If I move the graphic with the transparent background to the back, the gradient arc covers it.
When this graphic is selected, clipping path is greyed out under the Object menu.
How do I get the gradient arc to show through the transparent areas of the graphic?

Here are the screenshots. As you see, the skull graphic is transparent to all but the green-shaded arc.

Slow Graphics in Reports 10g?

Hi
we are currently building a massprinting engine based on the oracle 10 Reports server.
Now we have the following problem:
Building a normal report without any graphics on it takes under normal conditions not more than 2 seconds.
Based on the same report, we added a graphic on it. a simple pie chart.
NOW IT TAKES 20 seconds to generate that report. This is an impossible time for MASSPRINTING. Now it takes 15 days for our planned massprinting (or better massreporting).
Any ideas or experiences about that problem????
Thanks anyway.

Hi,
It is difficult to pin-point the problem without looking at the report and your environment. As I said, it may depend on how many "data points" are you trying to plot on the graph. For example, if there are 1,000 data points (slices in your pie chart), the performance will be slow.
One may need to test the performance on other output formats like HTML, RTF, etc. Then one can say whether this is an engine formatting problem, data fetching problem or PDF outupt problem.
What I would suggest is that you open a Service Request with Oracle Support, who can then get more insight into the problem and advise you accordingly.

Graphics In Reports

I am new to printing reports using LV. As I see it, there are two ways to
handle printing:
1) print front panel - this is good because I can print plots, text, etc.
but LV seems to throw in extra header stuff at the top that I can't turn
off.
2) Print VI's - These seem to be limited to text only where I need to print
out both text and plots.
Anybody have any ideas.
Thanks.

It should be possible to turn off the header options using either the
VI Setup or the Preferences. The report VIs don't currently support
images, but you can incorporate the panel images into an HTML document
by using the VI Server action to Get Panel Image and making references
to the image within an HTML document. If you aren't up on HTML, then
you may want to look into the Internet toolkit as it has VIs
that help
when generating an HTML form.
There are also lots of things that you can do with Panel printing. You
can use string conrols and transparency to make pretty cool reports.
LTR has had issues that help with panel reports in the past.
Another option is to use something like Crystal Reports. This sort
of tool usually works best when the data is in a database or can
be indexed as if it were in a database.
Several things to consider.

Convert Graphical 6i Reports to 11g

Hi,
I have requirement to convert Graphical reports built using version Report Builder 6i to 11g.. As per the "A GUIDE TO CHANGED FUNCTIONALITY BETWEEN ORACLE REPORTS 6i AND 10g" Graphics functionality is deprecated in Oracle 10g and above...
Can anyone please guide me with which steps i need to follow to achieve the requirement..
Regards,
Priyanka

Hi Andres,
Yes, I did that on one of the report. I converted the report into .rex file, changed all the FONTSIZE to slighthly smaller, but still quite a lot of manual intervention required.
I think that option is certainly to be considered, but may have to write some "clever scripts" to update all the fontsizes quickly and correctly.
I was hoping for some kind of setups that may be required and 11g would automatically correct it at runtime.
Thanks for your advice though.

Transparent graphic in layered background

I haven't used DVD Studio much, but I know this should be possible. I've designed all my menus in photoshop and in the background of all of them I have a graphic that is almost transparent, like a watermark. When I import the.psd file it won't show it as transparent, but shows it fully visible. I opened up my file back in photoshop and saved it as a .png to preserve transparency and it worked, but my question is how can I have that transparent .png in the background with the photoshop layers on top of it? So far from what I can see DVD Studio(3) isn't letting me put one graphic over another (.psd over the .png).

You will need to flatten the photoshop layer with the transparency down to a bacground layer (i.e. on white or whatever it is over)
Overall you are better using flattened PICT files for a base layer and one for an overlay, usually provides the best results (less weirdness/issues), though you can use the PSD method (remember to rasterize all text and flatten all layers with effects)
