Why do the appearance of my customized control change while changing the size of window?

Hi,
     I want to show the direction of power flow, so I customize an arrow-like slider, the width of the line is set the width as 3, and the height as 80. It can work. However, when I change the size of the window, the line of the slider is changed , and it looks quite ugly. How can I solve this problem.?

First, as you found out, the "scale all object on front panel as the window resizes" doesn't really work very well.
Second, what you're saying is that all your controls won't fit on the screen? What resolution is the screen? Typically manually sizing and placing objects on your front panel is the best way to get everything placed correctly. In addition, I have often found that an inability to fit everything on the screen is an indication that the interface is too busy.

  • How to increase the size of window in virtual tool box

    Hi,
    I have install rhel5 in oracle virtual box... but the size of window in which rhel5 runs is small and it is not covering the entire area of virtual toolbox....
    How can i increase the size of window to full size...
    Thanks and Regards...

    You need to install the "kernel-devel" and "kernel-headers" packages and then choose "Install Virtualbox Guest additions" from the Virtualbox menu, while logged in as root, in order to install the appropriate video driver that will allow you to resize the screen.

  • Why does the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappear, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions?

    I am at http://www.closys.com/samples_&_coupons/get_a_coupon.html and the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappears, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions. What gives and how can it be fixed. I have a time limit.
    Thanks for your solution.

    Mha007:
    Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows.
    Thanks for offering suggestions though.
    Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox?
    Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.?
    I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Why is the size of my FPGA VI increasing?

    I am using LABview 8.5 FPGA Module.  I noticed that the size ov my FPGA VI file keeps increasing when it shouldn't.  As a test, I added one simple control to my FPGA VI file and saved it.  As expected, the size of the file increased.  I then went in and did nothing more than delete this control I just added, then saved the file.  The size of the file INCREASED again!  Why would it increase when I delete something from the file!?
    Anyone else see this happen?  Is there some Labview option I need to set or un set to stop this??
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Thanks for your interest, Wiebe.
    The history is off as far as I know. I think the slices are the same.  As amatter of fact, one experiment I did was I checked the VI Properties->Memory Usage, added a simple control, saved the VI, deleted the control, saved it, and looked at the Properties->Memory Usage again.  The numbers between the two times I checked the Memory Usage were the same EXCEPT for the "Total VI Size On Disk", which had increased.
    Here's a detailed description of something I did yesterday.  My FPGA VI had grown to a 140Meg.  I know, pretty big.  I do have a lot in it because of what my application demands.  I created a new empty VI and painstakingly copied all the Labview code (eg. front panel items, block diagrams, etc) from the 140Meg VI to this new one.  I saved the new one.  Bottom line hey had the axact same "code".  However, the new VI file size was only 20Meg!
    I'm beginning to believe that the Save command stored previous versions of my Labview code within the VI file, perhaps for purposes of being able to revert to older revisions???  I know I grasping at straws, but this is becoming an issue.  Any NI engineer listening that knows about this.

  • Why does the print cue window stay open even after job is done?

    In Tiger, and every other version of OSX I have any recollection of using, the printer window opens to display what's in the cue when you select to print something. Once printing is done, this cue closes. Since installing Leopard, everytime we print from our iMac, MacBook or MBP, the print cue window stays open indefinitely after the job is done, requiring a manual closing of the window. I can't for the life of me fathom what benefit this brings or who would want this. Is this part of Leopard or a problem with our install? Something I can turn off?

    If you control-click (or right click) on the open printer queue in the Dock you can choose to have it auto close once the spool file is sent.
    As to why this is necessary in Leopard, well I haven't seen a good enough answer to date...

  • Why did Instagram appear under my MacBook Pro icon while using Airdrop?

    Hi.
    I had my iMac and MacBook Pro both setup to use iCloud to share Safari and Calendar. I was going to transfer a folder using Airdrop from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. In my MacBook Pro's Airdrop window, under the icon, it said others will see Jen's iMac. In my iMac's Airdrop window, under the icon, it said others will see Jen's MacBook Pro. But underneath Jen's MacBook Pro was the word Instagram. I've used Airdrop many times and have never had the word Instagram appear anywhere.
    My only connection with Instagram is I did recently join on my iPad but I don't see how that would allow Instagram to have access to my MacBook Pro.
    I didn't send the file until I could figure out how to remove the word Instagram. It disappeared when I turned iCloud off.
    My question is why was the word Instagram underneath the Jen's MacBook Pro?

  • Why does the size of my photos reduce to 0mb after editing in iPhoto?

    Please bear with me here.  I am a new Mac user (MacBook Pro, 2008, OSX 10.7.5), as well as not the most technologically competent person in the world, so I might need a little patience and additional questions to help me understand everything! 
    After a recent trip to Europe, I imported photos that I had taken with two different cameras into iPhoto ('09, version 8.1.2).  All the photos that I took with my Canon Rebel t2i DSLR have not had the problem I'm about to describe, in the past or with photos from this trip.  The problem has been only from pictures that I took and uploaded from my husband's Nikon Coolpix L610 point and shoot.  Not sure if this will matter, but the mode I was shooting in was 16M (4608x3456) which appears to be the "best" quality for this camera. 
    As I was going through my photos and editing them (mostly minor edits, cropping, straightening, enhancing, altering the sharpness/exposure/definition/saturation), I noticed the size of my photos decreasing, as described in the information box in the lower left hand corner of the screen.  With at least 30+ pictures of the ones I have tried editing (this isn't counting the hundreds more that I have yet to start editing), the file size dropped to 0MB, some after one edit as simple as straightening, others taking 2 or more minor edits to drop to 0.  The picture is still there in the multiphoto view (in Photos section under Library), but if I try to click on the picture to view it larger, it just shows up as a black screen.   
    For example, one picture I have showed a size of 4608 x 3456 and 7.6 MB.  When I did one edit (enhance photo), the 4608 x 3456 stayed the same, but the 7.6MB changed to 0KB.  For others, it will decrease some with one edit, then drop down to 0 if I do additional edits.  Most of my pictures are in the 4-10MB range in their original form (no edits).  I'm assuming that I was shooting in jpeg mode, since that's what they uploaded as.  (I've read on here of other people shooting in RAW mode and such, but I don't even think this camera has that capability).  I read some other boards with similar questions, but not the exact same problem as I'm facing.  I know that there is "jpeg compression" with jpeg files when editing. 
    So I guess my question is this:  Is there anything I can do to stop this reduction down to 0?  I will only be printing out a few of these pictures, and most in a 4x6 or 5x7 size.  I'm more concerned with being able to post them to Facebook for my family, who lives far away.  When the file size is 0KB, it won't upload because it doesn't even register as there being a picture and if I try it anyway, it gives me an error message, something along the lines of not supporting this format (or something similar, has been a couple days since I last tried). 
    I read something one of the similar boards that mentioned saving the edited photos as TIFF files, but it also mentioned that that takes up a lot more disk space, which I'm not sure if I want to (or have the space to) do.  (Side question:  If I did check the box in Preferences --->Advanced "Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files, would that do that to every picture in my library that I have edited?)
    As I said, I'm new to this whole Mac stuff (been using it for just under a year, given to me by my brother-in-law after my computer died), so please use as much layman lingo as possible!  And thank you in advance for anyone that can give me any insight and/or advice! 

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

  • Why is the preview "Open" window so slow?

    Hey, there guys!
    I am wondering why it is that the new "Open" window is so slow in preview. It opens slowly, and when I select a folder, it takes a long time to index the folder's contents. However, I can open a file in preview using finder just fine. The indexing times are almost identical to those that I got when I first bought my mac. I noticed that after the update to Mountain Lion, there was a tab added to the top left called "iCloud". I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it?
    My question is: what I can do to increase the speed of the Preview "Open" command? I have seen a couple of forum posts regarding people having issues opening files, but none of them talked about the open window itself being slow.
    Thanks for your help!

    Agree the new ios6 is much slower. I found this post by doing a search to find out if it was only me. I've done off & on & a soft reset. Neither helped. Everything seems to load much slower & hangs.
    Maybe the new apps aren't optimized yet. However, I had one of my worst experiences with the Apple App Store. One would think they'd know how to optimize their own site & app.
    I just hope it's not a bloat issue because the "upgrades" are not worth the performance trade offs to me.
    Also, the iMaps are definitely not ready for prime time. I tried getting directions between two locations that were very mainstream and the app said it couldn't provide directions. I'll take Google without turn by turn, thank you. At least let us have a choice and let the best app win.

  • Why is the size of new image constructed using Bufferd Image class less?

    I am trying to compress image losslessly, for start I what I am doing is:
    step1. Access pixels of .jpg image and store in array
    Step2. Reconstruct the image from same array
    What I have found is, that the size of new image constructed is less than the original.
    I am pasting the code below
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    BufferedImage sourceImage = null;
    try {
    sourceImage = ImageIO.read(new File("Sample.jpg"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
    int type = sourceImage.getType();
    int w = sourceImage.getWidth();
    int h = sourceImage.getHeight();
    byte[] pixels = null;
    if (type == BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR) {
    System.out.println("type.3byte.bgr");
    pixels = (byte[]) sourceImage.getData().getDataElements(0, 0, w, h, null);
    try {
    BufferedImage edgesImage = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
    edgesImage.getWritableTile(0, 0).setDataElements(0, 0, w, h, pixels);
    ImageIO.write(edgesImage, "jpg", new File("result.jpg"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
    Please could any one explain me why is it so?

    I am working on a IEEE paper where in I am supposed to achieve a better compression ratios as compared to current JPEG standards. So if only loading and displaying the image results in size reduction and quality too, how do I go ahead with my algorithmI suggest you:
    (a) start with images in an uncompressed format such as TIFF, rather than a format which is already lossy (JPEG)
    (b) acquire some basic knowledge about JPEG before you attempt to improve on it, and
    (c) learn to quote accurately. Otherwise your paper will be refereed out of existence. I didn't say anything about 'loading and displaying the image resulting in size reduction and quality too'. I said 'loading and storing'; and 'change the contents', not 'size reduction and quality too'.
    A JPEG load and store operation does not result in a bitwise identical file. Frankly you should already know that.

  • Why is the size of my pdf increasing after I add text fields?

    I have a simple pdf that by itself is 350kb. But when I add 4 text form fields it increases the size to 2.8mb. Why is this and what can I do to decrease the size but keep the fporm fields for users to type into?
    thanks

  • Why is the size different? (A4 problem)

    When I create an A4 sized canvas in Photoshop, the actual size (100%) is about three times bigger! - Even when I manually enter the measurments in 'mm', when viewed in 100%, it's still much too large!
    Extremely frustrating, would greatly appreciate help,
    Thanks.

  • Why does the history/library window auto-scroll away from the previous point in the library?

    When in Firefox 23.0's history/library window when I am browsing it will auto-scroll to the top of "Today" page making it frustrating and difficult to browse. I do not seem to recall this being the case before. I disabled "auto-scroll" in options and this has not remedied the problem.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why is the RGB spectrum window magically growing slowly over time?

    I'm running Photoshop CC 2014 and the RGB spectrum that is below the HSB sliders slowly grows over time for no reason! I constantly have to shrink the color pallet window.  I've never witnessed it grow before my eyes, but no matter what (on both my macs) it grows for no reason!  Anyone else have this problem?

    I understand your concerns but the discussion of development issues and decisions is not the purpose of this forum.
    This thread will probably be closed soon as being off topic and outside the scope of the forum.
    I suggest you watch the thread
    * ''What is the best way to communicate my displeasure with new features?'' [/questions/1011942]
    I have escalated that thread so that paid help desk staff will see it and hopefully respond. I recognise that fact that Firefox users need somewhere to discuss this sort of topic, and currently Mozilla does not seem to provide anywhere.

  • Why is the size limited?

    Whenever I print the size is small, and and would really like a solution on how to make the image larger when I print it. Any help is welcome, thanks!

    Are you both printing from iOS devices? Have you tried printing the same image from a computer to compare how the printer responds?
    Do you know the dimensions on the image you are working with? If the image is not large enough for a A4 it may not print to that size.
    Also, what printer are you working with and how is it connected?
    Let me know and have a great day!
