Variable width/height JList

Hi all,
I have an idea for a project I'm working on which involves a JList which can have varying widths/heights. The idea being that you can have items at the top of the list being larger than those further down the list.
The problem so far is that the JLists UI delegate handles the data in logical columns of identical sizes, I basically want to keep this behaviour but replace the one set of logical columns with a collection of them (one for each size section) so in effect you will have (say) 3 columns of large items follwed by 4 columns of medium items and then 6 columns of small items (assuming HORIZONTAL_WRAP is used). I also want these size sections to be based on the flow direction, e.g. if the flow moved virtically then you can say 'make rows 0 - 3 be 150 pixels tall and rows 4 - 8 be 30 pixels tall' or if horizontal flow is used then the columns and width are used.
I was wondering if anyone knows of an implementation of this type of list out there already beacuse as far as I can tell I'm going to have to (more or less) reimplement all of BasicListUI as it uses a lot of private variables.

JayDS: Sorry if I was unclear but I would like adjustable widths too. It's impossible to do using just cell renderers as the BasicListUI implementation will equalise all columns found by laying out the list contents depending on the layoutOrientation property.
NOTE: I know that you can set the widths of cells in a list by making the list act as though it were a file list (List.isFileList client property), but this only adjusts the width of the cell not the placement of the cell next to it (i.e. cell[n+1].x = cell[n].x + columnWidth NOT cell[n+1].x = cell[n].x + cell[n].width which is preferred).

Resizing a JList with variable row heights, not updating the "picture"

Firstly I would like to apologize for posting this Swing question here, but I was unable to find the Swing category, if someone could direct me to that I would be most grateful.
Ok, so in abstract what I am trying to do is have a JList with resizable rows to act as a row header for a JTable (exactly like the row headers in OO Calc or MS Excel).
What I have is a RowHeaderRenderer:
public class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRendererand it has a private member:
private Vector<Integer>        _rowHeights            = new Vector<Integer>();which contains a list of all the variable row heights.
Then there is my getListCellRendererComponent method:
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(    JList         list,
                                                      Object        value,
                                                      int           index,
                                                      boolean       isSelected,
                                                      boolean       cellHasFocus)
        // Make sure the value is not null
        if(value == null)
            this.setText("");
        else
            this.setText(value.toString());
        // This is where height of the row is actually changed
        // This method is fed values from the _rowHeights vector
        this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(this.getPreferredSize().width, _rowHeights.elementAt(index)));
        return this;
    }And then I have a row header:
public class RowHeader extends JList implements TableModelListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListenerand you may be interested in its constructor:
    public RowHeader(JTable table)
        _table = table;
        _rowHeaderRenderer = new RowHeaderRenderer(_table);
        this.setFixedCellWidth                        (50);
        this.setCellRenderer                        (_rowHeaderRenderer);
        // TODO: grab this value from the parent view table
        JScrollPane panel = new JScrollPane();
        this.setBackground(panel.getBackground());
        this.addMouseMotionListener                    (this);
        this.addMouseListener                        (this);
        this.setModel                                (new DefaultListModel());
        table.getModel().addTableModelListener        (this);
        this.tableChanged                            (new TableModelEvent(_table.getModel()));
    }and as you can see from my mouse dragged event:
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
        if(_resizing == true)
            int resizingRowHeight = _rowHeaderRenderer.getRowHeight(_resizingRow);
            _rowHeaderRenderer.setRowHeight(_resizingRow, resizingRowHeight + (e.getPoint().y - _cursorPreviousY));
            _cursorPreviousY = e.getPoint().y;
    }all I am doing is passing the rowHeaderRenderer the values the currently resizing row should be, which works fine. The values are being changed and are accurate.
The issue I am having is that while this dragging is going on the row does not appear to be resizing. In other words the "picture" of the row remains unchanged even though I change the values in the renderer. I tried calling:
this.validate();and
this.repaint();at the end of that mousedDragged method, but to no avail, neither of them worked.
Again, I verified that I am passing the correct data in the RowHeaderRenderer.
So, anyone have any ideas how I should get the image of the RowHeader (JList) to update after calling my MouseDragged event?
Thank you for your time,
Brandon

I was able to fix this some time ago. Here is the solution:
     public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
          if(_resizing == true)
               int newHeight = _previousHeight + (e.getPoint().y - _cursorPreviousY);
               if(newHeight < _minRowHeight)
                    newHeight = _minRowHeight;
               _rowHeaderRenderer.setRowHeight(_resizingRow, newHeight);
               _table.setRowHeight(_resizingRow, newHeight);
          this.updateUI();
     }

Equal spacing between the images of uniformed height but variable widths with AS3?

I have to figure out how to insert images with variable width with equal spacing intervals.
Here is where I got so far:
function buildScroller(imageList:XMLList):void{
          trace("build Scroller");
          for (var item:uint = 0; item<imageList.length();item++) {
                    var thisOne:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var currentX = 90;
                    var spaceBetween = 20;
var currentImageWidth = Number(imageList[item].attribute("width"));
thisOne.x = currentX;
thisOne.x = (currentImageWidth+spaceBetween)*item;
I can see that my images are being spread out on the page and if I change the number in var spaceBetween it affects the spacing. However the spacing is not uniformed. I can not figure why. Perhaps because I can not properly retrieve the image widths from the xml file. I assigned a width in xml file in the following manner:
<images>
<image src="appThmb_imgs/A-illuminatorUpLit_xsm.jpg" title="UpDownGlowingVase" url="http://www.888acolyte.com" width="132"/>
<image src="appThmb_imgs/ATI-1-bgpA_xsm.jpg" title="CoolingReflections" url="http://www.888acolyte.com" width="117"/>
<image src="appThmb_imgs/ATI-2-zenC_xsm.jpg" title="OrchidsUnderGlass" url="http://www.888acolyte.com" width="263"/>
<image src="appThmb_imgs/SilverBloom_RGB_xsm.jpg" title="SilverBloom" url="http://www.888acolyte.com" width="148"/>
</images>
they correspond to actual image width. I do however want them to be scaled at 50% of their actual width.
Any ideas if I am missing a line of code or don't call out images properly?

Thank You for your reply.
I tried to implement it but images are still jambled together.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I specify the actual width of the image in the XML file but then define it as a scaled value in the code later on (11th line at the bottom of the code):
    mc.height = 110;
This height definition will just give the width proportional to the height. Does it mean that I can not specify the height as it is?
Also can be there a mistake in the XML file? I just assigned the width number as it is in pixels for each image. Here is an example:
<images>
<image src="appThmb_imgs/RosesGallasGalore_RGB_xsm.jpg" title="RosesGallasGalore" url="http://www.888acolyte.com" width="131"/>
<image src="appThmb_imgs/SangriaBling_RGB_xsm.jpg" title="SangriaBling" url="http://www.888acolyte.com" width="233"/>

Width/height/x/y value mismatch with the reality and what is coded

hello there everyone,
hope i got the title right..,
so here goes the problem i need your opinion and help to solve:
application definition:
i have this desktop flash application that will go fullscreen what this application do is loading external asset (mostlySWF) and play it inside this application. Each external asset will be place inside a container/holder (empty movie clip created by code), each of this container have it's own dimension ( width, height, x, y).my code all working without any warning nor error.oh and i also have an image.jpg/png as it's background and place at the bottom of display list (depth = 0), the image is customly made with using photoshop and each container location and dimension also measured there so it just needed to be writen down is the XML file..,
the problem:
the bug is when i loaded some image of those background image each container width,height,x,y will mismatch with what i have in the XML file.
the funny thing is when i trace the value of each container width,height,x,y it value is the same with what the XML has yet by seeing with eye you know that is wrong..,
here's the code i used:
var myXML:XML; //to hold the loaded xml file
var SWFList:XMLList; //used to hold a list of all external swf source,atribute and etc
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); //intance of URLloader class used to XML file
var totalSWF:int; //hold the total number of external swf there is to be loaded
var mainContainer:MovieClip =new MovieClip();//act as the main container
var SWFContainer:MovieClip; //hold the loaded SWF as it's child
var swfLoader:Loader; //instance of loader class used to load the external swf
var myCounter:int = 0; //used to track how many external swf has been loaded and added to stage
var bgImageURL:String;//hold the url of the background image
var imageLoader:Loader;//intance of loader class used to load background image

        loadSWF();
i really do not have any idea why this could happen and how to solve it..,
any help would be greatly apprecited cause i'm literally meeting a dead end with this bug..,

hello there kglad,
thanks for responding in this thread..,
i did what you told me :
i did check all of my loader instance till myLoader.parent.parent.parent and it return 1 for every single one of them
but by removiing the "this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;"
i do get new error which is:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/doAspectRatio()
well from what it tokd me it came from my slideshow swf..,(this swf also fully code and has nothing placed on stage by manually)
the thing is in my mine swf code i never refer to what external asset property, i just told to load it and when the load is complete i put it in the display list..,
from googling i suspect that it played to early beacause i put the script in the first frame of the timeline of slideshow.swf
and for the moment i'm trying to find what error do cause it..,
(but why this didn't happen all the time??)

How to increase and descrease width/height of an item?

Hi,
My question is, there are so many item are displayed in the form and user wants to increase/decrease the size(width/height) of any item, just like we changes the size of any window.
how we can do the same in form at run time. if anyone is having solution pl fwd to me at [email protected] or [email protected]
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil
Use the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(item_name, WIDTH, y) for changing the width of the item and similarly for changinging the HEIGHT.
Put this command in a loop and assign the loop variable to the "y" variable in the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY. Doing this will change your item width and height at the run time.
try this and for any other queries in Forms , reports, ORACLE database pl. feel free to get in touch with me.
Ciao take care

Width*height vals changing in save for web ??

Hi all
I've opened an EPS file in illustrator cs4. And its width & height values are differing with width & height values in "save for web" option.
For example, normally in width & height boxes shows as
width : 247.499 pt
height : 116.524 pt
but in save for web
width : 249
height : 117
I've checked with various figures too.

Script lan : javascript
thanks for ur help!
Actually I've to resize the figure for the width 175, 525, 1400 and the height should change proportionally. So I tried, but I couldn't resize the figures using save for web. Becoz its horizontalScale & verticalScale treats values as percentage. eg. 175 treats as 175%. Then I grouped all items and changed its "width" and foud out the values' corresponding "height" values. But the problem is, exported file's values are changing nearly 3pts.
could u help on this?

Why can't I import anything? "File video dimensions (width/height) too large"

New to PP CS4 here (that will be obvious momentarily...). I can't seem to import any footage into any project (well, at least none of the bits I've tried, and I don't think there's anything 'wrong' with them). Every time I attempt to do so, I get the error:
Dialog title: File Import Failure
Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large.
This occurs with every files I've thrown at it - admittedly, they all have a lot in common, but they're not particularly exotic.
The files are (mostly) AVI files (I know, I know...before I get jumped, I understand it's just a wrapper, etc.). The files come from two cameras:
1. A Sony DCR-TRV20. Opening up the AVI in QuickTime Player, I see it's listed as "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC 640X480"
2. Canon PowerShot A620. Opening up the AVI in QuickTime Player, I see it's listed as "MotionJPEG OpenDML 320x240"
3. I somehow managed to get the AME to spit out a FLV file. That failed to import with the same error message, too.
I tried running these files through AME, and got the same results (although never having used AME previously, I have a question on that, below).
New project, settings are all (I think) the defaults: Preset DV-NTSC/Standard 32kHz
New installation of PP CS4, with the 4.1 update, on a PC running Vista 32 with all the endless MS updates applied.
Related question: I've skimmed other threads here, and noted the advice to "always convert any non-standard footage to DV-AVI Type II" before importing....however, I see no such option for that output format in AME....only generic things like "Microsoft AVI" and "Uncompressed Microsoft AVI".
Codec issues? I'm a little skeptical, since these AVI files play just fine in Windows if I double-click them. Does that not suggest that there's a codec there for them? The files are from (what I believe to be) garden-variety consumer cameras (these devices are a bit old and certainly not high-end, but they're hardly exotic formats, I think). The files are small, short clips I'm attempting to use just to learn Premiere, but it gags on every one of them, every time.
PP is so insistent that every file I throw at it has improper dimensions, but these files appear to be perfectly reasonably sized, and I assume it's operator error (I'm withholding judgement on the quality and accuracy of the error string it's presenting me). But I'm not sure where to look for the right knob to twist. Pretty frustrating to be stuck on Square 1 (actually, Square Zero).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Please be gentle, it's my first time....

Thanks, but....mmmm....maybe not.
I've tried multiple settings for New Projects. Just created a new one using the preset for DV-NTSC/Widecsreen 48kHz (frame size 720 x 480, 48 kHz audio). Exactly the same results.
You say "To point you in a certain direction, DV from a TRV is 720x480, not 640x480." However, according to QuickTime's Movie Inspector panel, the file is 640x480. This clip was captured through Premiere - that wouldn't change its aspect ratio, would it?
The files from the Canon still camera are AVI files, not still images (so I don't see how the reference to Photoshop applies, or perhaps I misunderstood your point). They are 320x240, according to QuickTime's Movie Inspector panel. If they're 320x240, wouldn't that be the same aspect ratio as 640x480? Attempting to import them, I get the same error....
While not exactly Hollywood quality, I just need files to play with as I attempt to learn the program, and it's not clear to me why these files should not work - other than the fact that NO files seem to work. Also, I'm not sure what your reference to "exporting" pertains to - I can't get anything imported, I'm not trying to export anything that (I'm aware of) - I'll worry about exporting once I've managed to get something, ANYTHING to import.
I've got some PP training videos (from "you-probably-know-who.com"). Following along using their project files and their video assets (MOV files in this case), I still get the exact same error.
So to summarize, so far, I've seen no evidence that this copy of PP can import ANY video file.
While I'm sure I would benefit from spending more time with the fine manual, I think there's something wrong here that's not going to be addressed in the introductory documentation. If I can't import any footage into any project, progress is going to be slow.
How about this: is there some known-to-be-good test file I can grab and try importing that? I've got very strong suspicions that I'll get the same error message.
Thanks again.

APIs for Adobe Reader to get the x, y co-ords,width,height of all elements (text/image) in a PDF doc

Hi all,
I have written a Acrobat plugin using PDFEdit APIs to extract x, y co-ordinates, width and height of all elements(objects) in a PDF document.
Now, I wanted to make the same working on Adobe Reader.I have added the READER_PLUGIN macro enabled in Project settings.
When I re-compiled the code, I got a bunch of errors saying all PDFEdit APIs are not available under Adobe Reader.
My objective is to parse through the entire PDF document and get x, y co-ordinates, width, height of all PDF objects (especially Image and Text objects).
Can anybody help me how to achieve this ?
Thanks
Prasanth

I know that we cannot obtain the PDEContent of a PDF page from Adobe Reader, as PDEContent is modifiable content and as such it cannot be accessible from Adobe Reader.
Also, as PDFEdit API's does not work for Adobe Reader, we are trying to figure out a way to achieve this for Adobe reader.
I am curious to know if the COS APIs can help us in this task.
I tried to read the stream content using PDPageStmGetToken API. I get the data of this format:
344.88 0 0 91.44 71.882 41.92cm
Here, as per PDF reference, I am getting only distance from X Axis and distance from Y Axis. But not width and height.
Can you knidly let us how to get the image attributes (primarly read only attributes like x and y co-ordinates, width and heoght) with Cos APIs.
Thanks
Prasanth

How to set width/height of iPad app in ipa file

Hello,
I am developing an app for iPad in Flash Builder 4 and Packager for Iphone.
I set the width and height node values in the descriptor XML and compile the application. When I run the same in iPad, I am not able to see any effect on the app's width and height.
Also, in default load, app opens in dimensions as per the iphone view and not specifically for iPad.
Any help?

BUG or Feature? Width & Height in Top Bar only in %, not in Pixel no Chance to change this

Hello
--- First: Please, im very sorry for my bad spelling - english is not my native language! Hope u can understand, what i mean. If it sounds bad or yelling someone - its not my intention! ---
My Question:
If i do Strg+T with a layer (ie. image or shape) in previous version you have the width & height in top bar and can easily read it or change when typing a new value in. With right mouse (Win) you can change % in px or em etc.
In my Photoshop CC 14.2 i have only % and cant change this.
If i try to read the dimension i can only see it on the info-panel.
Its confusing. Is it a Bug or Feature?

anyone?

Crop Aspect Ratio, width, height, resolution locks up

I am running PSE6 on an XP PC platform.
This anomaly happens about 75% of the time.
After processing a batch of raw images in Camera Raw, highlighting them and clicking on Open Image to open the converted images in PSE, I sometimes find I cannot open the Crop Aspect Ratio selection drop-down box. Nor can I type in changes to Width, Height, and Resolution fields--I can, however change the values by using the sliders that appear when I mouseover the Width, Height or Resolution titles, but even that's limited--whatever is to the right of the decimal point remains unchanged.
I've also experienced this Crop "lock-out" when just opening JPEG/TIFF/PSD images directly from the image file folder.
The only way I have found to clear this anomaly has been to close and reopen PSE. Today, for the first time, that didn't fix the problem. It came up with Crop locked up.
Has anyone else run into this? If so, what, if any, solution is there?
Thanks,
dale

First try clicking the little arrow at the far left of the options bar and choosing reset tool. If that doesn't do it, quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

How to export layer width, height, and position to a text document?

I am working on an automated workflow for which I need to know the exact width, height, and position in pixels of certain layers in a PSD.
I am pretty sure this is possible with applescript but does anyone know of a way to have this info included automatically in the documents metadata?
thanks,
ryan

Hi Gabriele - how did you add the subs to FCP? if you added them using the text tools built in then you need to try to extract those first. Neither FCP or DVDSP are good places to create subtitles, but apps like STL Edit and Belle Nuit are. These will both create subs that can be imported into DVDSP. You can also use a text file to import the subs as long as the text file is set up correctly. The precise format is listed in the manual for DVDSP and a tool like BBEdit is ideal if you want to do the subs this way. Some folk even use Excel to set up the timecodes, etc, but personally I find that too distracting, preferring to work with STL Edit when I need to add subs.
One thing is almost universally agreed upon in here - create the subs outside of DVDSP and import them in, since if you need to move, alter or otherwise change them it is a lot easier from within a text file than from within DVDSP.

Setting width/height of a control with CSS

Hi,
I am styling a button a button in CSS and set a background-image for the button in my stylesheet.
The problem is, that the button should scale to the width/height of the image.
I added:
-fx-width: 32px;
-fx-height: 32px;
but it has no effect.
I also tried it with
-fx-min-width: 32px;
-fx-min-height: 32px;
If I use setMinWidth(32); in Java, it works.
But I rather want to set it in my stylesheets, because the image can change, if we use another skin.

CSS documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html) states:
"JavaFX CSS does not support CSS layout properties such as float, position, overflow, and width. However, the CSS padding and margins properties are supported on some JavaFX scene graph objects. All other aspects of layout are handled programmatically in JavaFX code."
I thought you might be able to do something using the -fx-shape property, but the shape does not affect the size of the button - so that didn't work.
I had more luck with the -fx-graphic property - you could try to enhance the stylesheet below to get what you want.
.root   { -fx-background-color: azure; -fx-padding: 20; }
#smurf-button { -fx-graphic: url("http://bluebuddies.com/smurf_fun/smurf_race/jpg/Smurf_Race_100x100.jpg"); -fx-background-color: transparent; }
#smurf-button:hover { -fx-effect: dropshadow( three-pass-box , rgba(184,134,11,0.6) , 20, 0.0 , 0 , 0 ); }
#smurf-button:armed { -fx-effect: innershadow( three-pass-box , rgba(0,200,0,0.6) , 30, 0.0 , 0 , 0 ); }
public class ButtonStyle extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    final Button button = new Button();
    button.setId("smurf-button");
    final Scene scene = new Scene(StackPaneBuilder.create().children(button).build());
    scene.getStylesheets().add(this.getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}

No width/height set for items.This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting....... How do I get out of this?

How do I get out of this?

What are you talking about? The width/height of what? Is this some sort of error message? If so from what?

Fit Table width/height to Margin

It would be a great handy feature if the table width could be fitted to the margin of the page.
Moreover 'tables' need some more extra features like : distribute rows/column evenly to fit table width/height. At present this feature extends the table width/height when applied. Once I fix the width and height of the table, distribute rows/column must fit to that width/height only. The table should only extend when I add rows or column.
