Using image as theme on top of base map

I have a table which contains JPEG image stored as BLOB. I want to display this image as theme on top of my base map. I also want to display point on this theme.
Is it possible to do this?
Please provide me useful pointers for achieving this scenario.
Thanks in advance.

To setup image themes, besides the BLOB column you need a geometry column to specify the bounds of the image (MBR). Take a look at MapViewer's Users Guide section about Image themes (section 2.3.5).
About the points, you can setup another theme to render the points.
Once you have the themes you can add them to your base map, or render them on top of your base map. Notice that in Oracle Maps, currently image themes must be part of the base map, and you can not render it alone on top of the base map.

  • Displaying themes based on Zoom levels in base map

    I am using Oracle AS MapViewer 10131.I have 3 themes added to a base map.
    I am using Oracle Mapbuilder to create Mapping metadata.I want to display the 3rd theme based on the zoom levels.I want to display it only at lower zoom levels.I have followed necessary instructions given in the Mapviwer user guide and mapbuilder help.
    But I am not able to display particular theme based on Zoom levels.
    For example I have min/max scale 70,000/0 for Streets theme set using mapbuilder.This theme should be displayed only at that scale.But I am getting this theme displayed at all min/max scales (zoom levels).While creating the Map Cache Instance given the min/max scales 1000/25000000, the default values.Here the scale values look contradictory to the theme scale values given in mapbuilder.Is this where I am going wrong? or while setting scale for themes?
    I hope you understand my problem.Please help me about this.this is urgent.
    Thanks in advance!!

    My problem is solved now.I am able to display themes on zoom levels.The solution is, I set the min/max scale (zoom levels) in Map Cache Instance as "Ratio" and in theme i set it to "Screen-Inch".The scale of theme is not understood by the map cache instance.So finally i set both the scales to "Ratio" and it is working fine as i expected.
    Anyway thanks for yout interest in helping me.I will surely make a post here if i got stuck in further work.

  • While I change the base map I can't see other themes????

    Hi,
    I use mapviewer for rendering maps, which consist of a base map and some additional themes.
    I have a set of base maps (entered in the oracle db) and I'm implementing the functionality of changing the base map, but with the condition that the other themes added above the base map should remain.
    The problem that I'm facing is that the basemap changes, but I can't see the other themes.
    Following is my code:
    public void doChangeBaseMap(String newMap)
    String[] enabledThemes = mv.getEnabledThemes();
    mv.setAllThemesEnabled(false); //temporarily disable all themes
    mv.setBaseMapName(newMap);
    try{
    mv.run();
    catch(Exception ex)
    System.out.println("error msg (runMap()): "+ ex.getMessage());
    //simply re-enable all themes
    mv.enableThemes(enabledThemes);
    Any help please?
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    currently the method run will render the themes again, but it will use some caching based on how the caching is set to the theme. The default mode is caching="normal", in which not necessarily all features are on the cache at the same time. You can also use caching="all" and in this case all features will be loaded into memory, improving the performance for the next requests.
    The next version of MapViewer will come up with some nice new features, and you will have the option to cache the basemaps, resulting on a much better performance as it will not render the basemap themes again.

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

  • I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

    I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
    The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
    I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
    I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
    After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs.  The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
    Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue?  I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem.
    Got a 90% fix.  Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
    Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
    1.  Quit Image Capture
    2.  Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
    3.  Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
    4.  Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
    5.  Quit and restart "Image Capture".   Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder.  It insists on saving to "Pictures".
    That's as far as I was successful.  I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
    This is what I tried:
    6.  Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
    7.  Quit "Image Capture".  Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
    8.  Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
    9.  Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer.  I like "~/Desktop"
    10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter.  Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
    11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
    I consider this a bug.

  • How to use Custom Tags for Theme and Base Map Definitions

    In Mapviewer documentation I've found the following new feature:
    The XML definition of a theme or base map now supports application-specific
    attribute tags. You can use the Custom Tags option in the theme definition in Map
    Builder to specify tags and their values, which can be interpreted by your application
    but are ignored by MapViewer itself.
    I'm able to define a custom tag in Mapbuilder, but how can I use it in my Application?
    Thanks.

    As he said, you have to use as Platform service to create adapter in OIM.
    tcUserOperationsIntf service = Platform.getService(Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf.class);
    HashMap<String,String> searchmap=new HashMap<String,String>();
    searchmap.put("Users.User ID", userID);
    tcResultSet searchset=service.findAllUsers(searchmap);

  • I'm using Big date theme but the numbers on the date is cut off on top.  I'm on iphoto 11 and OS 10.8.2.  anyone else having this issue??

    I'm using Big date theme but the numbers on the date is cut off on top.  I'm on iphoto 11 and OS 10.8.2.  anyone else having this issue??

    OK try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Using images as chapter titles - how do you name them?

    Hi. I'm using InDesign 5.5.
    I'm working on a project with multiple chapters, each chapter has a name eg Chapter One, which is viewable both on the page and is used in the table of contents.
    For some chapters to give a bit of variety and more of a pro look I want to use images that I have created in Photoshop that has the name written graphically. So I have inserted the image at the start of the chapter page, I have applied the style that I used for the text chapter titles, and converted the file into an ePub. It looks great. The only problem is in the Table of Contents there is no text, it functions correctly if tapped, but the chapter is left without a name. Is there a method to give it a chapter name either in InDesign or in the HTML?

    Hi Steve. Thanks for your suggestions.
    I tried pasting the image on top of the text which looks fine in InDesign but when converted into an epub, depending on where exactly I place the end of page marker #,  the text shows and the image displays on the following page or preceeding page but never on top of the text.
    Your second idea will work. That is making the text paper-coloured so I could put invisible text first, then the image would be all that can be seen on the epub page, although it would be pushed one line down, although this could be reduced by using the smallest size font possible. -But I can't use that with my current project because for some chapter titles I want standard text and I don't think you can have two styles that are used to make Chapter Titles?

  • Images are always placed -2pt below base line - how to change?

    Hi all,
    for small icons that should appear in the text, we use image elements within the paragraph. When I select the placement option at insertion point, then the image is always placed -2pt "above" the base line (thus, actually below the line). If I try to change this then it is reset when I save the topic.
    Can I modify the read/write rules to allow manual chnages, or set this globally to 0pt? We use FrameMaker 9, DITA for this project.
    Robert

    Sorry about the delayed response.
    It would take a script or FDK client to automate the setting while editing within FrameMaker. When working with XML, you can, as Michael noted, use attributes to store the anchored frame properties in XML so that you can round-trip them. If you are willing to use FM's default attribute names and values, you don't even need read/write rules.
    Another approach, if all instances of an element type are to be treated the same way is to specify the necessary settings in read/write rules. In that case, you can edit in FM not caring how the anchored frames look. When you save as XML and open the result, the r/w rules will kick in and you'll get what you want. For example, you might define an element called InlineGraphic and use the r/w rule:
    element "InlineGraphic" {
       is fm graphic element;
       fm property position value is "inline";
       fm property baseline offset value is "0";
    In this case, your DTD would not define attributes for the position or baseline offset properties. Whenever you open an XML document, the InlineGraphic elements will come in At Insertion Point with an offset of 0.0 pt.

  • Using Image Capture to download photos from iPhone--Date Sort

    Hi,
    I have over 2000 photos on my 3G iPhone and I use Image Capture on the Mac to pull them off.
    Since I have so many photos going back a couple years, the file names have repeated, so if I sort by File Name, stuff from last year is mixed in with this year, etc.
    Also, if I sort by date, Image Capture sorts by MONTH-DAY-YEAR, therefore my latest photos are NOT at the top/botttom of the list!
    How can I change the date format in Image Capture so that I can sort by YEAR first?
    Thanks!

    OK, here is my new strategy:
    A new feature of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6 is that Image Capture (and iPhoto) will put a green check mark next to any photos already downloaded. Therefore, it makes it much much easier to figure out the new from the old.
    In addition to that, I went into my iPhone using PhoneView and reset the images back to IMG_00001. This required me to get rid of my thousands of photos on the iPhone, but oh well.
    So starting over seemed to be the best way to manage this mess.

  • How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
    Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

  • How to use images from ADFLib

    Hello OTN,
    My application is devided into several ADFLibs, one of them is CommonUI. It includes common skin and it is imported into every application part.
    There are some images which should be available in different parts, so I decided to put them in CommonUI.
    After deploying adflibCommonUI adn refreshing Resource Palette, somehow I expected to see this image there, but it isn't.
    Could someone, please, explain me, how to use images contained in imported ADFLib, for example, as imageLink icon?

  • Using "Image/Transform/Perspective" on a layer?

    Hi,
    I'm new at this.  I have a shot of a big room with empty art frames on the walls.  I have rectangular layers that are shots of paintings that I want to drop into the frames, but of course the paintings layers have to be skewed to show the perspective angle (trapezoid) that matches the room.  Problem is, it seems that I can only use Image/transform/perspective on the painting files before they become layers.  This means guessing the perspective, then moving them into the background, which is trial&error at best.  It's very hard to guess the appropriate perspective when the file isn't a layer. It seems that once the painting files become layers, the "perspective" option is no longer available.  I can use "skew," or "free transform," but not "perspective."    "Skew" doesn't work, because while it will allow changing the rectangle into a paralellogram, it won't allow me to change the rectangle into a trapezoid. "Free Transform" doesn't work for the same reason.  So, How do you apply the "perspective" function to a layer?
    If I knew how to change the rectangle by grabbing one of a selection's corner anchor boxes and fixing it place, that would help because I could create my own trapezoid, but I don't know how to do that.  Does anyone?
    Thanks!

    I've no idea why all the transform options aren't available; they are here.
    Anyway, try this:
    Drag or copy/paste the painting in. It will come in as a new layer.
    Convert that layer to a smart object (Layer > Smart Object > Convert..). Reduce the smart object opacity to 50%.
    Choose Transform > Distort and move the corners individually into place.
    When you're happy, set opacity back to 100% and rasterize the smart object.
    The beauty of the smart object in this case is that you can transform repeatedly without any additional quality loss; it will be rendered only once when you rasterize.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.
