VI wndow re-draw
Vis don't get refreshed/redrawn correctly. Display artificats are seen in the vis. In order to correct the window must be minimized and then activated to refreshen/redraw it without the artifacts. I am using Labview 6.1 on Solaris 8.
Thanks
This sort of thing can also come about as the result of subtle incompatabilities with the video drivers.

Need Help to Draw and Drag Triangle - URGENT
Hi everyone - I am developing various proofs of the pythagora's theorem
and the following code draws a triangle on screen and the proof follows -
but i need to know how to drag the triangle such tht 1 angle is always set to 90 degrees.
i.e. i need to resize the triangle by dragging its vertex points by which the1 angle remains at 90 no matter what the size.
The proof has got some graphics code hardcoded in it - i.e. LINES AND POLYGONS have been hardcoded
i need to reconfigure that such that everytime the user increases the size of the triagnle and clicks on next it draws the lines and polygons in the correct area and place
PLEASE HELP
the code is as follows

THANKSOne of the problems you face is that it is hard to recognise which parts of your code are drawing the triangle. This is because you are writing code in a procedural way rather than an object oriented way.
In object oriented code you would have a triangle object that could draw itself. You would create the triangle object by specifying its sizes and angles in some way. Then it should be easy to change the triangles sizes and angles and ask all the drawn objects to redraw themselves. -
Possibility of drawing numbers on java bouncing balls?

Alarm status drawing iow: recolour JInternalFrame components
Greetings,
Please have a look at this picture. It's a low res snapshot of
a few quite complicated components. Most of the functionality isn't
visible nor relevant in the example. What you're looking at is a real time
process of some sort. Things can go wrong in that process. In a previous
version of my views I'd turn the background colour of some components
red/yellow/green according to the 'alarm status' of the process. One of
my customers suggested the idea of turning everything red/yellow/green
inside those JInternalFrames (that's what you're looking at in the example).
Of course one fool can ask more than a dozen of wise men can answer
and I am not that wise, so my question is: how would one change the
colour of all components that are part of a JInternalFrame (or any
other container) such that the colour wouldn't be 100% opague but
still visible by itself and still showing the information originally present
in each individual component. iow, as if a transparent monochrome
filter were positioned in front of that entire JContainer.
In a naive way I like the idea; if the idea turns out to be too complicated
to realize I'd be happy with visual alternatives also. (such as big arrows
pointing to the JContainer where the alarm happened).
Note that these appliations run in a 'factory' environment where people
either hardly watch the screens or they watch them at quite a great
distance. The changing colours should just attract their attention so they
will walk/run/drive/ride to the screens for a second inspection.
Any ideas are appreciated.
kind regards,
JosNot sure I understand the question, but I keyed in on:
as if a transparent monochrome filter were positioned in front of that entire JContainer.So maybe you could use a GlassPane:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class GlassPaneTest extends JFrame
public GlassPaneTest()
final JComponent glassPane = new JComponent()
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
g.setColor( getBackground() );
g.fillRect(0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height);
glassPane.setOpaque( false );
glassPane.setBackground( new Color(240, 20, 20, 100) );
setGlassPane( glassPane );
glassPane.addKeyListener( new KeyAdapter()
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
e.consume();
glassPane.addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter()
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
e.consume();
final JButton button = new JButton( "Click Me" );
button.setMnemonic('c');
button.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
glassPane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
glassPane.setVisible( true );
glassPane.requestFocus();
Thread thread = new Thread()
public void run()
try { this.sleep(5000); }
catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
glassPane.setVisible( false );
glassPane.setCursor(null);
thread.start();
getContentPane().add(new JLabel("NORTH"), BorderLayout.NORTH );
getContentPane().add( button );
getContentPane().add(new JTextField(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
public static void main(String[] args)
GlassPaneTest frame = new GlassPaneTest();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
frame.setSize(300, 300);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.setVisible(true);
}The Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/rootpane.html]How to Use Glass Panes shows how you can also do a simple drawing (your arrow?) on the glass pane. -
Looking for a high-res drawing app for the iPad
I've tried a few of the available iPad drawing apps like Sketchbook Pro and Brushes. It's a little hard to tell, because documentation tends to be short on details, but it appears that most of them (with the exception of Brushes) only let you work and export images at 1024 by 768 resolution. That isn't really high enough resolution for professional work.
Brushes is the only exception I've found. You work on the iPad in Brushes at 1024 by 768, but they have this OS X app that can convert your exported images to a higher res.
To me that's crazy awkward and time-consuming, and I think Brushes is OK as a drawing app, but not necessarily what I'm looking for.
Can anyone give me some better insight into the matter?
Is there some underlying technical reason that all of these apps have a hard limit of 1024 by 768 resolution?
Is there an app other than Brushes that can produce pro-level (high resolution) image files on the iPad?
Thanks,
JSYubz Magnum really has great sound. They come in four colors too.

hello everyone. I know this doesn't sound original but I have yet to find an answer so I came here. I am hoping to get a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet soon and it includes Adobe Elements 8. I am an artist and browsing around places like DeviantArt i find that most digital artists use the program CS5 or something like that. So here's my question: is CS5 or Elements better for drawing? I'm seriously thinking about getting CS5 but i don't want to waste my money if Elements is just as good. Please help me out!!
Elements is more limited in how to adjust the colors to black-and-white.
Lightroom has more sophisticated adjustments. These adjustments are the same as in the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop, but absent in the Camera Raw plug-in for Elements. The adjustments allow you to enhance the contrast and brightness of the gray-level for narrow ranges of original colors instead of a simple removal of color with a default color-balance or clicking on a preset that Elements has.
Here is a very verbose video introduction to the LR B/W conversion on an example photo, viewed best in full-screen HD:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/bw_workflow_in_lightroom.shtml
Here is a step-by-step example with screenshots and description, from 2008, but the adjustments still mostly apply, except the vignetting you’d use wouldn’t be lens-related, it’d be the Post-Crop Vignetting in the Effects section that didn’t exist back in 2008:

These were just the first and third links that showed up after Googling for Lightroom Black and White.
BTW, I am a photo-hobbyist and use Lightroom every day, so it’s not just for professionals making money off their photos that need something fast. For me it is more about seriousness and perfection and freedom. -
Error message (Because a USB device was drawing too much power)
Hi Everyone,
Bought recently a new macbook pro 13 inch with Retina display with 120 GB flash drive.
Connected a non-apple CD drive to my macbook and after that started receiving this message: "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
initially I was receiving this message after I switch on my macbook but now after every 30 seconds this message pops up although I never connected anything to my macbook through its USB ports.
Will highly appreciate for your help on how to get rid of this problem.
Regards
HomayunTry resetting the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC. -

Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

Draw back of Automatic PO creation
Dear Friends,
What are all the draw backs will come if i cxreate PO automatically once GR posted.
Kindly explain me.
Rgds,
Sankar.DPrerequisits.
a) Movement type has to be selected for automatic creation of PO in customizing (IM - GR - Create PO automatically)
b)Assign Std. Purchasing Org. to plant (Enterprise structure - Assignment - MM)
c)Define default values for PO document type depending on T-Code MB01
d)Material should be valuated material with material master
e)Valid price should be there in Purchasing Info. record.
There are no drawbacks as such , but you can only procure valuated materials, PO of consumable materials is ruled out .
Check the possibilities and let us know what is your specific requirement.

Photoshop CC: When I'm trying to draw a rectangle I can't fill it or create a stoke because there is a message telling me; "Could not complete your request because of a program error. What can I do?
It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon. -

Hi tonys60181,
Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
Please let me know.
Regards,

I am trying to upload photos from my digital camera. Every time I try to plug it into my USB, the following error message comes up: "Because a usb device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
I don't have anything else plugged into my MBP, so I am confused as to what's going on. This problem has never happened before. MBP is less than a year old - about 9 months old. HELPGet a powered USB hub.

Can I draw *.bmp, *.png in java.awt.canvas ?
In paint method of my program, I get image from Toolkit like this:
public class CanCanvas extends Canvas{
//In loadImage method
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(
getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(
resource.getString("bg.jpg")));
//.... In paint method
if (image != null && image.size() > 0) {
for (int j = 0; j < image.size(); j++) {
Image image1 = (Image) image.elementAt(j);
Rectangle rectangle = (Rectangle) imgLocation.elementAt(j);
g.drawImage(image1, rectangle.x, offset + rectangle.y,
rectangle.width, rectangle.height, null);
i = i <= rectangle.y + rectangle.height + 7 ? rectangle.y
+ rectangle.height + 7 : i;But there is something very strange, if my image is *.jpg or *.gif, it runs ok, otherwise -*.bmp, *.png-, it can't draw the image.
Would anyone tell me why ? Is the reason java.awt.canvas ?
Thanks in advance ^ ^If you'd bother to read the documentation of the methods you're using, you'd know:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Toolkit.html#getImage(java.lang.String)
Returns an image which gets pixel data from the specified file, whose format can be either GIF, JPEG or PNG. -
Urgent help needed!! Layout table and Draw layout cell dissapeared.

Layout Table and Draw Layout Cell icons appear greyed and can't use

this? I'm going nuts trying all the possible options but none seem

Help please!!!!!!> How would you about designing a page without using html?
You don't. But I don't recall suggesting that you not use
HTML. I just
suggested that you use best-practice HTML, no? Or maybe you
meant to ask
how you would go about building your site without learning
HTML? In that
case, I think you are outta luck. Using DW without knowing
HTML is a very
punishing experience, I'm afraid.

How to draw a point without double buffering?
Hello all,
I am drawing points as small red circles, but they are a bit ugly without double buffering. Am I able to draw the points to be nice? I mean not to draw them as just circles, but some special circle with light border that will looks much more nicer?
Or what radius and position of the circle must be to be a nice small circle containing only 5 pixels? (upper, lower, right, left, middle)
ps - they are ugly in the way of having a strange dot on the left sideI use this method:
private static final float POINT_RADIUS = 2f;
private static final float POINT_DIAMETER = POINT_RADIUS * 2;
private void drawPoint(float x, float y, Color c) {
Ellipse2D point = new Ellipse2D.Float(x - POINT_RADIUS, -y
- POINT_RADIUS, POINT_DIAMETER, POINT_DIAMETER);
graphics.setStroke(new BasicStroke(0.2f));
graphics.fill(point);
// and points looks like this:
