Cannot add component Rectangle dynamically by using the task

Hey all

I'm new to Java FX and animation in general (try the last FX2 in netbeans) but I think I'm missing something somewhere... According to documentation, it is recommended to use a task to perform the animation and the screen changes. For some reason although my code works very well outside of a task, but when it is placed in a task it stops just at the point where I want to add it to the main AnchorPane... from my controller below class code, where the "mainApplication' is the main AnchorPane. Any ideas? What am I missing or am I misunderstanding? In the end, I want to be able to add a large number of Rectangles dynamically and animate.

public class MyAppController implements Initializable {
    @FXML 
    private AnchorPane mainApplication;
    @FXML
    void menuItemClicked(ActionEvent event) {
        justDoIt();
    }
    void justDoIt() {
        Task<Void> task = new Task<Void>() {
            @Override
            protected Void call() throws Exception {
                Rectangle aperture = new Rectangle(10, 10, 250, 250); 
                aperture.setFill(Color.WHITE);
                aperture.setVisible(true);
                System.err.println("Last line executed");        
                mainApplication.getChildren().add(aperture); 
                //((Pane)mainApplication.getScene().getRoot()).getChildren().add(aperture); <-- not working either
                System.err.println("never gets here");
                return null;
            }
        };
        Thread th = new Thread(task);
        th.setDaemon(true);
        th.start();
    }
   
    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
    }
}

The API Animation will take care of the threads for you questions. There is (almost?) never need to work with concurrency API and tasks when working with animations.

From your description, it seems that the best approach is to create each of the individual animations you need and put it in a SequentialTransition. You can implement the 'gaps' in there with PauseTransitions. Then you can just run the sequential transition button.

Small example:

import javafx.animation.Animation.Status;
import javafx.animation.PauseTransition;
import javafx.animation.RotateTransition;
import javafx.animation.SequentialTransition;
import javafx.animation.Transition;
import javafx.animation.TranslateTransition;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.ClosePath;
import javafx.scene.shape.LineTo;
import javafx.scene.shape.MoveTo;
import javafx.scene.shape.Path;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;

  • Cannot deform stuck HAVE dynamic object using the free transform vector in PS CS6

    Hello

    I stuck a vector object in PS CS6 (13.0.1 x 32) today directly from Illustrator CS6 (16.0.1 x 32) and select 'Paste as smart object' (Windows XP Pro SP3).

    I then tried to distort the object glued using the free transform tool by dragging one of the handles to angle with hold CTRL (Windows).

    General warps\distorts the object, but instead, it launched an operation to bias .

    If I paste as Pixels or shape layer and then apply free Transform, < Ctrl + corner handle slide > performs a warp\distort operation.

    Also, if I have rasterized glued it opposed and then convert them to a smart object, I can warp\distort.

    Is it not possible to paste a vector Illustrator in as a smart object, then warp\distort directly using this technique?

    Thanks for your help.

    Richard

    Your right because on a stuck vehicle a smart cannot deform, false or perform perspective transformations.

    One solution would be to right click on the vector smart object layer in the layers panel and

    Choose Convert to smart object.

    It depends on what is your object, you would probably better quality of a pasted shape or path, but then you will not be able to open the object

    back in illustrator from photoshop.

    Vodkaholic27, let me start with the layoff of vodka for a bit and then set Virtual Machine network card to bridged and then assign a static IP address that is appropriate for the guest as the physical LAN operating system is the host.  Then in the local physical network for static IP address router you assigned in the guest OS configure it to allow Port Forwarding on the appropriate port.  Then, you will be able to access from outside local physical host network.  If it's just on the other system on the physical LAN to the host that you want to access the guest you need not set up the Port Forwarding on the router on the local physical host network, simply use linked by a bridge to the network adapter in the Virtual Machine.  If you use NAT to the NIC of the Virtual Machine, then you need to set Port Forwarding in the virtual network Editor.

    Note: The virtual network Editor is not installed by default in Vmware Player 3.x and later versions.

    To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

    Hi CurtisHx

    Thanks for reporting this. I agree that the error message returned by the driver is very unclear and fails to a user of the API provide enough information to determine the cause of the error in the code. In addition, it seems that we don't document the correct order of operations to set up a task well (the best thing we could find was the subject of tasks in NOR-DAQmx , who actually seems to imply that the channel configuration and their calendar can be made in any order). We are producing several bug reports, to fix / improve the following:

    • The error message returned by the driver to the API.

    • The help topic for the tasks in NOR-DAQmx.

    • The documentation of the specific method provided with the NOR-DAQmx .NET API.

    To clarify the error, it seems that 'peripheral' in ' specified operation cannot be performed when no device in the task "is in fact reference to the channels configured in the task. At this point, I'm not sure what "device" can be applied to other entities in the DAQmx driver software, but I'll post at the time where I have an error message created by the development team working on it.

  • No start page, Google rises and there is no way out without using the Task Manager.

    I used to get the Google search engine at the start of Firefox, with bookmarks bar in side bars and tool at the top. Now, all I get is a Google search page, with a few buttons on the top like images, etc. There is no way to close the program without using the Task Manager. I downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed, but the problem has not disappeared. Operating system is Windows XP Professional

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

    It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and bars scrolling down.

    • Use Restore or expand in the context menu of the taskbar icon to set the focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the window of Firefox.
    • Open the system menu of the window of Firefox via Alt + space and see if you can move and resize the window (use the arrows on the keyboard).

    If it works, then first close all other open windows of Firefox and then close Firefox via "file > exit/Quit" to save the setting.

    The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

    To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

    That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)

    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

    Hello syncere99,

    1. What is the user account in the Task Scheduler are you for the work you are trying to use the Task Scheduler?

    The error code indicates that the user account that was used to create the job no longer exists. This could be because the user account is deleted. I suggest that you remove and re-create a job and check if you have the same problem.

    Thank you

  • How to use the Task Scheduler to send an email

    I have Windows Live Mail + Windows 7

    I want my computer to send an email to someone on his own. I opened the Task Scheduler and creates a new task using the Task Scheduler 'send and send '. The problem is that the program asks only me who he is, which comes from the e-mail and how to use smtp server... He doesn't ask for my mail server login and user name, so in theory it would be rejected... and when it comes to send the message, now it does nothing without any error message.

    I have 2 settings of e-mail in Windows Live Mail accounts but how do I know the Task Scheduler program which includes use of e-mail and how to connect to the account to send it?

    best,

    Charlie

    This task seems to be used only in limited circumstances where a local Windows based SMTP server is available and security credentials are already established.  There is an interesting discussion about this in

    One of the links posted http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/e4cf06f5-9a36-474b-ba78-3f287a2b88f2.mspx?mfr=true indicate a possible way to do so by implementing a service SMTP with IIS, but many (I think that most) ISPS block Port 25 and who would probably be a problem.

    It looks like using a 3rd party to contact the external mail server might be the best bet.

    Thanks for your reply, but I'm looking to make use of the 'send an Email' task which included in Task Scheduler... is something that has been there for a while and I've never understood how it would work... I open the Task Scheduler, create a "fundamental task" and click 'send', but I is not even asking me my user name or password? only the smtp server and the email I want to use!
