What is Screeen Painter ?

Hi Experts,
Thanks for your instance and useful responses for my queries. This shows your good atitude of sharing your knowledge.
I gotta query today,
What is Screen Painter ? Is Dialog Programming similar to Screen Painter ?
If so how you can say DYNPRO as ?
Please clear me up ?
Thanks in Advance,
Guru

goto transcation abapdocu
list display->abap user dialogs
see all example program.
dynpro,module pool , screen painer all are same.
p ... before output
pai   afetr input
processes on value request
processes on help reques
Write the Flow Logic
Now let us write the flow logic for both the screens.
            Screen 100
Process before output.
                Module status_0100.
Process after inout.
                Module User_Command_0100.
Screen 200
Process before output.
                Module status_0200.
Process after inout.
                Module exitscreen at exit-command.
                Field ztryemp-name module check_name.
                Field ztryemp-phone module check_phone.
                Field ztryemp-basic module check_basic.
                Module User_Command_0200.
To add the code to each module, double click on the module. This will bring up a screen asking you to select the proper sub program from the module pool to place the code in it. Select the proper PBO, PAI and Form program to include the respective code.
We will first see the PBO sub-program for both screens.
PBO modules are used for initializing variables, assigning the pf-statuses and titlebars for dynpros, and other screen processing to be done before the screen is displayed and re-displayed.

Hi rajneesh,
Report Painter : -
You use the Report Painter to create reports from data in the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL) application component and other R/3 application components to meet your specific reporting requirements.Advantages of the Report Painter include:--Easy and flexible report definitionReport definition without using setsDirect layout controlABAP QueryThe SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP.SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists. ABAP Report--
A ABAP Report is the one which is used to display the output in the form of list with out any GUI screen.It is less userinteraction. or Reading and displaying data, for example in a list. Obsolete name for an execution program that can only implement reporting
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
Report Painter fulfills a function similar to Report Writer, but is easier to use. Most of the functions found in Report Writer have been built into Report Painter; however, you do not need to be familiar with all Report Writer concepts (such as Sets) in order to use Report Painter.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.

I really don't want to look through all that code to see how you are doing your painting, I do have some pointers though:
1) Your drawPanel extends JPanel, meaning you should override the paintComponent(Graphics g) and NOT the paint(Graphics g) method. Swing components use paint() to call paintBorder, paintChildren, and paintComponent. If you override the paint then try to use a border or add buttons to the panel then you won't get the correct results. paint() is used for AWT components.
2) To try to answer your question, your paintComponent method should contain ALL YOUR DRAWING. You should not call getGraphics then use that to draw anything on your panel. One thing you can do is create an image the size of the panel, draw on the image wherever you want, then use paintComponent to draw that image.
[You can create an image using component's createImage (width, height) command]
[You would draw on the image buy using the Image getGraphics() method, then drawing on it however you do on any other graphics object]
[You would draw the image to the panel in the paintComponent method using the Graphics g parameter and doing a g.drawImage(...)]

Does anyone know what kind of paint is bonded to the Aluminum on the new iPod Touch?

I'm doing research for a science project. I need answers fast!

You will be using your new MBPs Thunderbolt port for the video output. You will need a minidisplay port converter that enable it to connect to the display. IF your monitor has a HDMI input, then this is what you would need:

IPhone 5 - black model paint problem

Dear apple community!
I have iPhone 5 black model and edge color was chipped off after very carefull usage! If the paint chips this easy now what's my phone gonna look like in a years time after being in and out of my pocket, car keys, kids getting hold of it... It looks like anything could chip the paint. So my question is what kind of paint or marker I can use to repaint the edge of iPhone and hide that paint chips. I tried with black permanent marker but it comes off easy. Plase give me some advice because I'm desperate sad and disappointed. My new black iPhone 5 looks like trash with that silver dots. Thank you apple once again...

In the same location as on the white model, just to the left of the front facing camera.

Scale a Paint's "path" without distorting the Brush "strokes"?

Anyway to scale a Paint Brush "stroke's" "path" along only one axis without distorting the brush strokes?

Besides having no idea what you're trying to say, I don't think you're considering the problem.
Here's the same issue, solved with regards lines and their strokes distorting:
scale a line, not it's outline/stroke...
That's a particularly cool trick.
But I don't see anything similarly possible with Paint Brush based "strokes".
Please, consider that this is what I'm "painting" the line with, so I'd like the circles (dots) to not distort into ovals when scaling the path in only one dimension, see my answer at bottom:
Small Circles (dots) on a path instead of dashes?

Report Painter/ Report writer

Hi,
Can anybody please explain me what is report painter with an example to how to create it if u have any document please forward it to me <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
also please explain me what is characterstics, key figures set and variables,
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards,
Sunil Kumar Mutyala.

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.

Hi
Report painter:
A tool for creating reports that meet specific business and reporting requirements.
The Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.
The SAP System is delivered with several row and column models that can be used as building blocks to help you create reports quickly and simply.
Report Writer:
A tool for creating reports that meet specific business and reporting requirements.
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
When working with Report Writer, you can use certain functions that are not supported by Report Painter. These functions include:
Multidimensional column structures
User-defined definition of inactive row and column combinations
Enhanced functions for using cells in column formulas
ABAP Query:
An ABAP Workbench tool that enables users without knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.
In ABAP Query, you enter texts and select fields and options to determine the structure of the reports. Fields are selected from functional areas and can be assigned a sequence by numbering.
ABAP Query offers the following types of reports:
Basic lists
Statistics
Ranked lists

How do you keep selected colors with Live Paint Bucket?

I am always having to re-select the colors for fill and stroke each time I use the Paint Bucket. This is tedious. There must be a way to keep the selection...

Not sure what the "Live Paint Bucket" is, but if you are working in Premiere's Titler, and have constant Stroke and Fills, you can easily create and Save a Style, so that the colors and attributes will be constant, Title through Title. The Style will even set your font, and its size, for reuse.
Another method would be to Save the Title, and use it in multiple Projects, just changing the Text, as is required.
Now, if you are talking about something else, please point me in the correct direction.
Good luck,
Hunt

White balance in painting tools

Hi.
I just tried painting mask tools. They really are great!
There was one thing that bugged me. Color temperature setting is not in kelvins even if I'm processing RAW photos. It would be more intuitive to paint with same values that are used in basic settings.
What do you thing?

As an architectural photographer Tero's reply make sense to me. When I have done interiors in the past with Hot lights, Strobes, etc I used spot meters, flash meters, Color checkers & color temperature meters plus a bag full of cc filters to balance the varied light sources. Now with digital I still use a color temperature meter & color charts. Most of my color correction is done with compositing, which works very well. However the concept of being able to "paint in" a temperature correction is very attractive plus a great time saver. I know that while with complex interiors I will still have to do the "full meal deal" the concept of "touching up" is appealing. While many people "know" what color they painted its been my experience that most have a poor color memory. Consequently knowing what color temperature is where in a space is, in my opinion, crucial. With the variety of light sources now available ( 40+ flourescents alone ) we need all the help we can get.

Adjustment Layers-- painting back over not working

I'm learning adjustment layers. When I try to reverse what I've painted out by inverting the brush color and painting, nothing happens, i.e. the original brushwork stays intact and doesn't reverse. There is no lock icon on the layer. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Sounds like you are working on the mask. Make sure your foreground and background colors are black and white (literally).
Make sure the correct layer is selected
Make sure the mask thumbnail is selected.
Make sure the brush settings are correct in the top toolbar, - normal blend mode, 100% opacity
Make sure the layers settings are correct - check blend mode and opacity
make sure no layer above that layer is affecting it.
If none of this works, capture your screen with the layers panel open and post it.

No "Paint" Visible on Layer Mask (CS6 Photoshop)

So, when you're editing a picture using the layer mask, you have the black paint on the paint brush to select it. You paint it, and you see in the side-panel: the right side which is the layer, and the left side which is the white box with black paint on it. You'd think the black paint would also be where you can see it while you're editing the damn picture. But I am not proper enough to know how to make this "paint"... appear! Where the hell is my "paint," and why wouldn't it be on the main picture? Damn it, I just want to make a basic mask. Thanks for your help.

Hey, thank you! One other problem, though: now it's just a white screen with black paint. I need to see what I'm painting around. Thanks Again!
