JavaFx conversion and printing - java

Ok. I am attempting to make a simple little text editor for java practice. I have a TextArea in JavaFX 8 that I type text into. I would like to be able to create and fill a Text object and then send that text object to the printer. So far, I have failed miserably. The printer just spits out a blank sheet of paper. It's acting as if there is no content to be printed.
I found an example where the text object is wrapped in java's TextFlow like this..
TextFlow printArea = new TextFlow(new Text(textDocument.getText()));
that at least prints SOMETHING, but it's only the first line of text entered.
Here is my print code:
static void printOperation(TextArea textDocument) {
Text extractedText = new Text(textDocument.getText());
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
if (printerJob != null && printerJob.showPageSetupDialog(textDocument.getScene().getWindow())
&& printerJob.showPrintDialog(textDocument.getScene().getWindow())) {
if (printerJob.printPage(extractedText)) {
printerJob.endJob();
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to print");
}
} else {
System.out.println("Canceled");
}
}
//There is a print menu option that calls the print method
print.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
printOperation(textDocument);
});

Text by seems to have it's origin at the bottom left corner of the node not at the top left one. The text simply is not inside the printed area.
The second attempt probably fails to achieve the desired output, since you do not set any limit for the width.
You could ensure the node is on screen by using a StackPane as parent of the text. Furthermore I recommend setting the wrappingWidth property:
static void printOperation(TextArea textDocument) {
Text extractedText = new Text(textDocument.getText());
extractedText.setWrappingWidth(450);
// use pane to place the text
StackPane container = new StackPane(extractedText);
container.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_LEFT);
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob();
if (printerJob != null && printerJob.showPageSetupDialog(textDocument.getScene().getWindow())
&& printerJob.showPrintDialog(textDocument.getScene().getWindow())) {
if (printerJob.printPage(container)) {
printerJob.endJob();
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to print");
}
} else {
System.out.println("Canceled");
}
}
You should probably set the wrappingWidth according to the page size/margin chosen by the user instead of hardcoding the value though...

How to add text outlines to text within Powerpoint via Apache POI:

Does anyone have an idea how we can add outlines to text (text outline) within powerpoint templates (ppxt) using Apache POI? What I have gathered so far is that the XSLFTextRun class does not have a method to get/ set the text outline for a given run element.
And as such, I could only persist the following font/ text styles:
def fontStyles(textBox: XSLFTextBox, textRun: XSLFTextRun): Unit = {
val fontFamily = textRun.getFontFamily
val fontColor = textRun.getFontColor
val fontSize = textRun.getFontSize
val fontBold = textRun.isBold
val fontItalic = textRun.isItalic
val textAlign = textRun.getParagraph.getTextAlign
textBox.getTextParagraphs.foreach { p =>
p.getTextRuns.foreach { tr =>
tr.setFontFamily(fontFamily)
tr.setFontColor(fontColor)
tr.setFontSize(fontSize)
tr.setBold(fontBold)
tr.setItalic(fontItalic)
tr.getParagraph.setTextAlign(textAlign)
}
}
}
Is it possible to add text outline?
Any assistance/ suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Apache poi uses underlying ooxml-schemas classes. Those are auto generated from Office Open XML standard. So they are more complete than the high level XSLF classes. Of course they are much less convenient.
So if somewhat is not implemented in high level XSLF classes, we can get the underlying CT classes and do it using those. In case of XSLFTextRun we can get the CTRegularTextRun object. Then we can look whether there are run properties already. If not, we add one. Then we look whether there is outline set already. If so, we unset it, because we want set it new. Then we set a new outline. This simply is a line having a special color. That line is represented by CTLineProperties object. So we need to have methods to create that CTLineProperties, to set CTLineProperties to the XSLFTextRun and get CTLineProperties from XSLFTextRun.
Complete example using Java code:

How to get value from a DatePickerSkin in JavaFX

I have these codes for extracting a datepickerskin from a datepicker and place it in an anchorpane. It works well but my problem is how do i get the value from it? Say, when you click on a number like 8 and get the value as a date, just like the datepicker itself?
Here is my code: zig8 is the anchopane.
DatePickerSkin datePickerSkin = new DatePickerSkin(new DatePicker(LocalDate.now()));
Region pop = (Region)datePickerSkin.getPopupContent();
pop.setPrefHeight(zig8.getPrefHeight());
pop.setPrefWidth(zig8.getPrefWidth());
zig8.getChildren().add(pop);
I tried to attach a mouse event this way:
pop.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED,(e)->
{
//a code to get the value.
});
Thanks....
This is probably not very save and could break every time DatePicker gets updated. But lets assume that does not happen :)
If you look at the code of DatePicker, you can see that it structure is roughly:
DatePickerContent (VBox)
MonthYearPane (BorderPane)
GridPane
Contains the Buttons, which are of type DateCell
So we can write a function to search the content of the DatePicker and find all the DateCells. Since they are being reused we need to do this only once. We can then attach an event listener to each DateCell
...
List<DateCell> dateCells = getAllDateCells(pop);
DatePickerSkin datePickerSkin = new DatePickerSkin(new DatePicker(LocalDate.now()));
DatePickerContent pop = (DatePickerContent)datePickerSkin.getPopupContent();
pop.setPrefHeight(zig8.getPrefHeight());
pop.setPrefWidth(zig8.getPrefWidth());
zig8.getChildren().add(pop);
List<DateCell> dateCells = getAllDateCells(pop);
for (DateCell cell : dateCells)
{
cell.addEventHandler(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED,(e)->
{
System.out.println("Mouse clicked :" + cell.getItem());
}
);
}
...
private static List<DateCell> getAllDateCells(DatePickerContent content)
{
List<DateCell> result = new ArrayList<>();
for (Node n : content.getChildren())
{
System.out.println("node " + n + n.getClass());
if (n instanceof GridPane)
{
GridPane grid = (GridPane) n;
for (Node gChild : grid.getChildren())
{
System.out.println("grid node: " + gChild + gChild.getClass());
if (gChild instanceof DateCell)
{
result.add((DateCell) gChild);
}
}
}
}
return result;
}
Since DateCell derives from Cell<> it knows its current date and we can use getItem to figure out the date
Alternative:
You could probably get access to the protected DateCell List in DatePickerContent by using Reflection.
protected List<DateCell> dayCells = new ArrayList<DateCell>();

Text Highlighting with PDFClown without using PDF Annotations

I've started using PDFClown some weeks ago. My purpose is multi-word highlighting, mainly on newspapers. Starting from the org.pdfclown.samples.cli.TextHighlightSample example, I succeeded in extracting multi-word positions and highlighting them. I even solved some problems due to text ordering and matching in most cases.
Unfortunately my framework includes FPDI and it does not consider PDFAnnotations. So, all the content outside of a page content stream, like text annotations and other so called markup annotations, get lost.
So any suggestion on creating "Text Highlighting" with PdfClown and without using PDF annotations?
To not have the highlight in an annotation but instead in the actual page content stream, one has to put the graphic commandos into the page content stream which in case of the org.pdfclown.samples.cli.TextHighlightSample example are implicitly put into the normal annotation appearance stream.
This can be implemented like this:
org.pdfclown.files.File file = new org.pdfclown.files.File(resource);
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("S", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
TextExtractor textExtractor = new TextExtractor(true, true);
for (final Page page : file.getDocument().getPages())
{
final List<Quad> highlightQuads = new ArrayList<Quad>();
Map<Rectangle2D, List<ITextString>> textStrings = textExtractor.extract(page);
final Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(TextExtractor.toString(textStrings));
textExtractor.filter(textStrings, new TextExtractor.IIntervalFilter()
{
#Override
public boolean hasNext()
{
return matcher.find();
}
#Override
public Interval<Integer> next()
{
return new Interval<Integer>(matcher.start(), matcher.end());
}
#Override
public void process(Interval<Integer> interval, ITextString match)
{
{
Rectangle2D textBox = null;
for (TextChar textChar : match.getTextChars())
{
Rectangle2D textCharBox = textChar.getBox();
if (textBox == null)
{
textBox = (Rectangle2D) textCharBox.clone();
}
else
{
if (textCharBox.getY() > textBox.getMaxY())
{
highlightQuads.add(Quad.get(textBox));
textBox = (Rectangle2D) textCharBox.clone();
}
else
{
textBox.add(textCharBox);
}
}
}
highlightQuads.add(Quad.get(textBox));
}
}
#Override
public void remove()
{
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
});
// Highlight the text pattern match!
ExtGState defaultExtGState = new ExtGState(file.getDocument());
defaultExtGState.setAlphaShape(false);
defaultExtGState.setBlendMode(Arrays.asList(BlendModeEnum.Multiply));
PrimitiveComposer composer = new PrimitiveComposer(page);
composer.getScanner().moveEnd();
// TODO: reset graphics state here.
composer.applyState(defaultExtGState);
composer.setFillColor(new DeviceRGBColor(1, 1, 0));
{
for (Quad markupBox : highlightQuads)
{
Point2D[] points = markupBox.getPoints();
double markupBoxHeight = points[3].getY() - points[0].getY();
double markupBoxMargin = markupBoxHeight * .25;
composer.drawCurve(new Point2D.Double(points[3].getX(), points[3].getY()),
new Point2D.Double(points[0].getX(), points[0].getY()),
new Point2D.Double(points[3].getX() - markupBoxMargin, points[3].getY() - markupBoxMargin),
new Point2D.Double(points[0].getX() - markupBoxMargin, points[0].getY() + markupBoxMargin));
composer.drawLine(new Point2D.Double(points[1].getX(), points[1].getY()));
composer.drawCurve(new Point2D.Double(points[2].getX(), points[2].getY()),
new Point2D.Double(points[1].getX() + markupBoxMargin, points[1].getY() + markupBoxMargin),
new Point2D.Double(points[2].getX() + markupBoxMargin, points[2].getY() - markupBoxMargin));
composer.fill();
}
}
composer.flush();
}
file.save(new File(RESULT_FOLDER, "multiPage-highlight-content.pdf"), SerializationModeEnum.Incremental);
(HighlightInContent.java method testHighlightInContent)
You will recognize the text extraction frame from the original example. Merely now the quads from a whole page are collected before they are processed, and the processing code (which mostly has been borrowed from TextMarkup.refreshAppearance()) draws forms representing the quads into the page content.
Beware, to make this work generically, the graphics state has to be reset before inserting the new instructions (the position is marked with a TODO comment). This can be done either by applying save/restore state or by actually counteracting unwanted changed state entries. Unfortunately I did not see how to do the former in PDF Clown and have not yet had the time to do the latter.

How to make the text in an SWT Link widget selectable

I have a text in the Link SWT widget created as follow:
Link message = new Link(parent, SWT.WRAP);
message.setText(myMessage);
I want the text (in myMessage variable) be selectable, to grant users to copy it.
How can I do this?
I have used Link widget because I need hyperlinks in the text to be clickable.
The SWT Link widget is not selectable. To work around this I can think of either
provide a context menu for the Link with a Copy menu item that copies the text to the clipboard
place a Copy (tool) button next to the Link that copies the text to the clipboard
use a Browser widget which is selectable but harder to layout and requires extra work to trigger the functinality when the link is selected
if you don't mind the extra dependency to org.eclipse.ui.forms, use the FormText. The FormText can show hyperlinks and allows to select and copy text
Why not using a StyledText to allow text selection ?
String string = "This is sample text with a link and some other link here.";
final StyledText styledText = new StyledText (shell, SWT.MULTI | SWT.BORDER);
styledText.setText(string);
String link1 = "link";
String link2 = "here";
StyleRange style = new StyleRange();
style.underline = true;
style.underlineStyle = SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK;
int[] ranges = {string.indexOf(link1), link1.length(), string.indexOf(link2), link2.length()};
StyleRange[] styles = {style, style};
styledText.setStyleRanges(ranges, styles);
styledText.addListener(SWT.MouseDown, new Listener() {
#Override
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
// It is up to the application to determine when and how a link should be activated.
// In this snippet links are activated on mouse down when the control key is held down
if ((event.stateMask & SWT.MOD1) != 0) {
try {
int offset = styledText.getOffsetAtLocation(new Point (event.x, event.y));
StyleRange style = styledText.getStyleRangeAtOffset(offset);
if (style != null && style.underline && style.underlineStyle == SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK) {
System.out.println("Click on a Link");
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// no character under event.x, event.y
}
}
}
});

JTextPane - HTMLDocument: when adding/removing a new style, other attributes also changes

I have a JTextPane (or JEditorPane) in which I want to add some buttons to format text (as shown in the picture).
When I change the selected text to Bold (making a new Style), the font family (and others attributes) also changes. Why? I want to set (or remove) the bold attribute in the selected text and other stays unchanged, as they were.
This is what I'm trying:
private void setBold(boolean flag){
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
int start = editorPane.getSelectionStart();
int end = editorPane.getSelectedText().length();
StyleContext ss = doc.getStyleSheet();
//check if BoldStyle exists and then add / remove it
Style style = ss.getStyle("BoldStyle");
if(style == null){
style = ss.addStyle("BoldStyle", null);
style.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold, true);
} else {
style.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold, false);
ss.removeStyle("BoldStyle");
}
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end, style, true);
}
But as I explained above, other attributes also change:
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
http://oi40.tinypic.com/riuec9.jpg
What you are trying to do can be accomplished with one of the following two lines of code:
new StyledEditorKit.BoldAction().actionPerformed(null);
or
editorPane.getActionMap().get("font-bold").actionPerformed(null);
... where editorPane is an instance of JEditorPane of course.
Both will seamlessly take care of any attributes already defined and supports text selection.
Regarding your code, it does not work with previously styled text because you are overwriting the corresponding attributes with nothing. I mean, you never gather the values for the attributes already set for the current selected text using, say, the getAttributes() method. So, you are effectively resetting them to whatever default the global stylesheet specifies.
The good news is you don't need to worry about all this if you use one of the snippets above. Hope that helps.
I made some minor modifications to your code and it worked here:
private void setBold(boolean flag){
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
int start = editorPane.getSelectionStart();
int end = editorPane.getSelectionEnd();
if (start == end) {
return;
}
if (start > end) {
int life = start;
start = end;
end = life;
}
StyleContext ss = doc.getStyleSheet();
//check if BoldStyle exists and then add / remove it
Style style = ss.getStyle(editorPane.getSelectedText());
if(style == null){
style = ss.addStyle(editorPane.getSelectedText(), null);
style.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold, true);
} else {
style.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold, false);
ss.removeStyle(editorPane.getSelectedText());
}
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, style, true);
}
