When I want to create table in PDF, I can use the following two ways:
But the first one failed.
method 1:
float[] columnWidths = {20, 30, 50};
Table table = new Table(columnWidths);
It's failed to control columnWidths
method 2:
UnitValue[] unitValue = new UnitValue[]{
UnitValue.createPercentValue((float) 20),
UnitValue.createPercentValue((float) 30),
UnitValue.createPercentValue((float) 50)};
Table table = new Table(columnWidths);
It's success!
Why does this happen?
Yes, there is no way to scale column widths in iText 7.0.2, as Vernon said.
If you want to use directly 20, 30, and 50 points for columns despite min widths you shall use this construction:
Table table = new Table(new float[] {20, 30, 50}) // in points
.setWidth(100) //100 pt
.setFixedLayout();
If you set fixed layout you must set width as well, it is required for fixed layout.
The Release Notes for iText Core 7.0.2 include the bullet point "improved auto layout and fixed layout for tables, scaled column widths have been removed". If you need the old functionality, you'll need to go back to 7.0.1!
The online API docn for the Table constructor says Note, since 7.0.2 in case auto layout column width values less than min width will be ignored. It's not great English, but I believe it's trying to say that the supplied values will not be scaled up so the columns fill the table, but instead will be used as-is, in which case they're almost certain to be too small, so will be ignored. Overall, this change makes sense, since treating a handful of floats as a ratio is a bit arbitrary for a good API. Using values with units is much more sensible, and your example using proper percentages is a good one.

I have a symbol S1 with two shapes (lets say sh0 and sh1). On the stage I have an instance of another symbol mc. At run time, I will create an instance mc1 of the symbol S1. Using createjs, how can I use mc1 as a mask for mc?
I assume when you say "symbol", you mean a graphic or MovieClip in Adobe Animate. Unfortunately, you can only use a CreateJS "Shape" as a mask directly. There are a few options:
Combine the shapes into one yourself.
Combine the instructions. This is a bit dirty, but you could in theory concat the graphic instructions from one shape into another. I suspect this would have issues if the Shape instances have different x/y positions.
symbol.shape1.graphics._instructions.concat(symbol.shape2.graphics._instructions);
Cache the symbol as use it as a Mask with AlphaMaskFilter. The example in the documents should get you what you want.
var box = yourSymbol;
box.cache(0, 0, 100, 100);
var bmp = new createjs.Bitmap("path/to/image.jpg");
bmp.filters = [
new createjs.AlphaMaskFilter(box.cacheCanvas)
];
bmp.cache(0, 0, 100, 100);
The 3rd is probably your best option, but it is limiting and can be performance intensive due to the use of the filter (especially if content changes and you have to update it constantly).
Feel free to post more details on what you are working with in order to get a better recommendation.
Cheers.
This is more of an open discussion topic than anything else. Currently I'm storing 50 Float32 values in my NSMutableArray *voltageArray before I refresh my CPTPlot *plot. Every time I obtain 50 values, I remove the previous 50 from the voltageArray and repeat the process....always displaying the 50 values in "real time" on my plot.
However, the data I'm receiving (which is voltage coming from a Cypress BLE module equipped with a pressure transducer) is so quick that any variation (0.4 V to 4.0 V; no pressure to lots of pressure) cannot be seen on my graph. It just shows up as a straight line, varying up and down without showing increased or decreased slopes.
To show overall change, I wanted to take those 50 values, store them in the first index of another NSMutableArray *stampArray and use the index of stampArray to display information. Meanwhile, the numberOfRecordsForPlot: method would look like this:
- (NSUInteger)numberOfRecordsForPlot:(CPTPlot *)plotnumberOfRecords {
return (DATA_PER_STAMP * _stampCount);
}
This would initially be 50, then after 50 pieces of data are captured from the BLE module, _stampCount would increase by one, and the number of records for plot would increase by 50 (till about 2500-10000 range, then I'd refresh the whole the thing and restart the process.)
Is this the right approach? How would I be able to make the first 50 points stay on the graph, while building the next 50, etc.? Imagine an y = x^2 graph, and what the graph looks like when applying integration (the whole breaking the area under the curve into rectangles).
Look at the "Real Time Plot" demo in the Plot Gallery example app included with Core Plot. It starts off with an empty plot, adding a new point each cycle until reaching the maximum number of points. After that, one old point is removed for each new one added so the total number stays constant. The demo uses a timer to pass random data to the plot, but your app can of course collect data from anywhere. Be sure to always interact with the graph from the main thread.
I doubt you'll be able to display 10,000 data points on one plot (does your display have enough pixels to resolve that many points?). If not, you'll get much better drawing performance if you filter and/or smooth the data to remove some of the points before sending them to the plot.
I'm using Builder v1.80.06
I can vary the position of a polygon every repeat easily enough
e.g. I have a Positions list
positions=[[1,1],[1.1,0.9],...]
and in the 'Position field' have :
$positions[0]
and then change it's value in a code block on each repeat.
BUT I want to vary the size in a similar manner with a $sizes list but get an error.
Looking at the generated code, the problem is at the object creation stage. the code generated is:
for a hard coded polygon (ie ok)
polygon_1 = visual.Rect(win=win, name='polygon_1',
width=[1.5, .2][0], height=[1.5, .2][1],
ori=0, pos=[0, -0.6],
lineWidth=1, lineColor=[1,1,1], lineColorSpace=u'rgb',
fillColor=[0,1,0], fillColorSpace=u'rgb',
opacity=1,interpolate=True)
for one populated by a variable (not working):
polygon_2= visual.Rect(win=win, name='polygon_2',
width=1.0[0], height=1.0[1],
ori=0, pos=[0,0],
lineWidth=1, lineColor=[1,1,1], lineColorSpace=u'rgb',
fillColor=[1,0,0], fillColorSpace=u'rgb',
opacity=1,interpolate=True)
It complains (rightly) that 1.0[0] makes no sense on the width and height parameters
Even though I have my sizes list instantiated in a code block right at the beginning of the experiment instead of reading $sizes[0] a default float value of 1.0 is used.
Any other suggestions for how to vary the polygon size dynamically at runtime using builder?
I could just take the generated code and drop it into coder I suppose and fix the problem but I want to hand this over to a researcher so would like for them to be able to maintain it.
thanks,
If you set size to be a tuple/list with a pair values [1.2,1.5] or [1,1] does that not fix it?
When you change attributes at runtime, just change the attribute of an existing stimulus instead of instantiating a full new stimulus. The latter is quite heavy on ressources, causing unreliable timing. So do
stim = visual.Rect(win) # instantiation, ressource heavy
stim.attribute = newValue # change attribute. lighter.
I can think of two ways you could do it in a pretty neat way. The first is to set width and height explicitly instead of the size attribute, but using a size-like value. So (removing all parameters not of interest):
polygon_2 = visual.Rect(win)
# Unpack the x,y-sizes to the stimulus .width and .height attributes
newSize = (1.5, 0.2)
polygon_2.width, polygon_2.height = newSize
The second, if the size attribute is really important to use, is to use the Polygin with edges=4 to make it a rectangle:
polygon_2 = visual.Polygon(win=win, edges=4, size=(1.5, 0.2))
# Setting size
polygon_2.size = (0.8, 0.4)
Do try Jon's suggestion first. But the idea with visual.Rect and visual.Circleis to use substitute Polygon's size and vertices for something more relevant. So size can do unexpected things if width/height etc. are not 1.
This is not exactly how my code is but for the sake of an example, I have a 3 column layout, first column being a col-md-3, and inside that I have 3 more columns, one which is col-md-1. However, because col-md-1 has a width of less than the padding (30px), the column to its right is now pushed to the second line.
to see my example, pull the divider until you are in desktop mode, and notice how the blue column is now on a separate line:

Does this mean I can't have a column that small? I am coming from Bootstrap 2.x where the span1 had a width with a margin-left, so it used to work fine.
The short answer to your question is "Correct, can't have a column that small." You can't have a "1" sized column within a "3" side column for your purpose. The math is that the tiny column you're trying to display is only 2% (i.e., 8.3% of 25%) of the available page layout. On top of the Bootstrap 3 cols have a 15px left and right padding, which effectively wipes out that 2%. This is why you're seeing it wrap funny at anything less than about 1410 pixels, by my testing with your code. I don't know what you're trying to do, but the grid probably isn't the right way to do it for a so small a slice of the page.
I’m trying to put together what seems to be a simple case of two NSTextFields with dynamic width and fixed spacing in between. I cannot figure out an effective way to do so though.
I’m looking to get something like this:
The blue boxes are the NSTextFields. When more text is entered into one, it should grow and thus make the other one shrink, maintaining the lead space, trailing space and the spacing in between the fields. The first one should take the priority if both of the fields have too much text. Each field will also clearly have a maximum and a minimum possible width it can reach.
How would I go around handling this, preferably utilising IB autolayout as much as possible?
It seems to me that all of constraints you mentioned directly translate into interface builder --
First view has width >= something.
First view has width <= something
Same for Second view.
Space between views is fixed.
Second view wants to be as small as possible (have its width at 0) but this has lower lower priority than the previous constraints and lower priority than inner content size constraints.
The code I had to add to my view controller, after applying the constraints as per the ilya’s answer:
In controlTextDidChange (_controlWidthConstraint refers to the fixed width constraint of the input; it’s probably 0 by default for the second input):
// Get the new width that fits
float oldWidth = textControl.frame.size.width;
[input sizeToFit];
float controlWidth = textControl.frame.size.width;
// Don’t let the sizeToFit method modify the frame though
NSRect controlRect = textControl.frame;
controlRect.size.width = oldWidth;
textControl.frame = controlRect;
_controlWidthConstraint.constant = controlWidth;
The key lies in invalidating the intrinsicContentSize for the text field when text is input.
