Looker cannot adjust spacing on visual - data-visualization

I have been unable to find a way to lock in the spacing of columns in a visualization in Looker.
Every time either in dev mode or not or when editing the dashboard if I adjust the size of the columns they will not stay that way when saving the dashboard. For example this is what it looks like where the name section is spaced way out.
Is there a way to lock in the spacing of column within looker visuals?
I am getting this:
I want this:

Mike, you can also hard code the width for each column in the Edit section of the table chart:

Of coarse after posting a question on this I finally stumbled onto the option to freeze columns in the edit window. So instead of deleting my post I will just put my findings here so that if someone happens to have this problem they can find the answer here.
In the visualization edit window you can select the 3 vertical dots next to a column and freeze the column size. This works for all columns individually.

Hi there this is a known issue in Looker dashboards according to Looker support. The way to fix this is to adjust the fields width manually with your cursor in the Look before the visualization gets into Looker. Not ideal but it works.

How to create "menu grid" in kotlin

I have searched google/stackoverflow etc. for answer to my question, but I didn't quite manage to find the right one. I believe I just don't know, how to set the question properly, and thus I cannot find solution.
Is there any way, how to create grid like I drawed in following image (with red colour):
I need to add this red grid to several images, which look very simmilar. The grid field (the one selected) have rolling menu, prescribed position, and a field for additional text. Black lines in background are image in background, and the red supposed to be grid above the image. I thought of creating a lot of buttons alined to each other, but i think that is very bad way to do so.
I would like a pop-up menu from selected field, but opening new activity with same fields is usable aswell. Is there any "simple" solution for creating such grid/menu ?
Btw, I am not programmer with many experience with coding, let's say, I know basics only.
Thanks in advance.

PostgresQL output with a horizontal bar

I am novice in psql. I have a problem with an output in psql shell. Amount of columns in my table wraps, and makes the whole table unreadable. I am looking for a "\x" alternative, because it makes a data tough to read for me. I have been trying everything I found out in Internet since yesterday without a progress.
I am an Windows user, I am familiar with this post also: Alternate output format for psql
The output looks like this:
I am wondering If there is an option to add horizontal bar to smoothly scroll the output.
Adding a scroll bar would be up to your terminal/console emulator, not up to PostgreSQL nor psql.
But if you use less for our pager, psql will automatically send the over-width output to less, which will then let you scroll left and right with the cursor keys. If you are scrolled all the way to the left, it will show the output as wrapped, but if you scroll to right at all it will unwrap it and show just the slice that falls within the window. It will normally scroll around in chunks of ~20 columns per keypress by default, but you can change that by hitting a number first before using the arrow keys. I just set PAGER=less in my .bashrc file, so that all programs know that my preferred pager is less. But you can also set PSQL_PAGER if you just want to set it for this one program, or you can set it on the command line for just a specific execution.

User input range for XY graph

I'm a beginner user of labview so bear with me, please. I'm working on a project that takes a data text file with columns and rows as an input. I have the project set up so far to take the data from that file and display it in an XY graph.
I want to add a feature where the user inputs a set of values that represent a range in the x-scale. The program should take those two values and make a new graph (or use the old one, that works too) with the proper scale.
I greatly appreciate your time and help .
Thanks
Edit :
A snippet of the txt file.
The red arrow shows what I tried to use from the help section of labview. Yet I have little to no idea on how to integrate it into my diagram or vet if its the right tool to use.
These numeric values input in the front panel is what I thought could work, but I'm all ears to any suggestions.
You already found the correct property node value :)
You have to connect a minimum and a maximum value to the property node. If you click on the function on the node, you can select the min and max option.
I made this little example for you to see what you need to do.
Property nodes are in genereal very useful as you can set and change so many settings programatically.
A nice feature of LabVIEW: You can drag&drop .png pictures in your Block Diagram. So if you want to test my VI-Snippet, just drag&drop it :)
I hope that I could help you, feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

Crystal Reports Population Pyramid

I am trying to create a population pyramid almost exactly like the one in this question on the SAP forums but I am completely stumped as to how that's done. I'm working in an MVC4 environment and all my data is in a flat model. I've managed to pull the data in as .NET objects no problem, it's just formatting the chart that I am having trouble with. I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and so far I have managed to create a pyramid that looks like this
(This currently has only two ages)
All I need is for the negative and positive sides to line up for each age, like the picture I linked to at the start of the post, but I can't work out how. I assume it displays like this because each age/gender combination is its own .NET object e.g. 'age_0_to_5_male_percent' and 'age_0_to_5_female_percent' so it treats each as its own row. Does anyone know how to do this? If you need more info please let me know.
Ok, so I ended up doing this with two bar charts and two datasets, one using the standard values and the other using calculated negative values (therefore forcing the chart to draw right to left). I then manually labelled and aligned everything and put the two bar charts 'back to back' to give it the effect of a population pyramid.
It was a lot of work but it was the only way I could work out how to do it.
The only problem that remained was that the labels on the left hand side displayed the negative values.

LINQPad: Anyway to make the Dump() results be initially collapsed?

Couldn't find it anywhere (google or stackoverflow).
Is there a way to force Dump()'s output to be automatically collapsed?
Update:
Some more info, to bring more focus to the question.
As mentioned below Collapsing can be done after the output as rendered via keyboard shortcust (Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3)
And can rendering depth can be determined by passing an int depth param, but that does not allow to expand the results.
Is there some way to change the CSS formatting? I'm not that fluent in CSS, so this might be the solution.
Why I need this:
What I want is to make the output 'cleaner', and dive in when something of interest show's up.
I'm running a query repeatedly, and don't need all of the output all the time, but still using my human abilities to detect change, instead of coding the detection.
Update: November 2013
As Joe (the author himself!) mentions in the comments, LINQPad no longer has the limitation described.
It is now possible to state 0 and collapse the information after it's rendered.
No, although you can call Dump with a number to force it to display to that nesting depth:
.Dump(0)
You can also use the formatting shortcuts (Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3) to collapse the whole display to one, two or three levels.
Another option is to dump to grids. Call Dump(true) or use the toolbar button. Grids show only one level and subsequent levels are shown upon demand with hyperlinks.
