Where exactly on the canvas is 'better' for textFrame?

I have a script to place elements on the screen - a rectangle and a couple of text elements.

While the position of the top and left of the rectangle falls exactly where it's supposed to, I can't quite understand what a textFrame item value means. See the code and the corresponding result - the planning of the elements of the text are slightly under the surface of the rectangle. Why and how can I accurately control the placement of the text elements, specifically the value of 'top' as it seems do not correspond to something?

// For loop

// Box
var dayBox = docRef.pathItems.rectangle( dayTop, dayLeft, dayWidth, dayHeight );
dayBox.filled = false;
dayBox.stroked = true;
dayBox.strokeColor = newColor;
dayBox.strokeWidth = sDay;

// Text
var dayNameText = docRef.textFrames.add();
var k = new Date(year, m, d);
var dayName = k.getDayNameShort(ypLang);
dayNameText.contents = dayName;
dayNameText.top = dayTop; // "top" of what?
dayNameText.left = dayLeft;
dayNameParaStyle.applyTo(dayNameText.textRange);
dayNameCharStyle.applyTo(dayNameText.textRange);

var dayNumberText = docRef.textFrames.add();
dayNumberText.contents = d + 1;
dayNumberText.top = dayTop; // ?
dayNumberText.left = dayRight;
dayNumberParaStyle.applyTo(dayNumberText.textRange);
dayNumberCharStyle.applyTo(dayNumberText.textRange);

Carlos is quite right, because your styles can change the top of the text after you set up the upper part of the block of text at the start.

To my knowledge, I did a simple test to try and analyse the 'top' of the text in the box.

#target illustrator
function test(){
    if(app.documents.length == 0){
        alert("Open a document firs");
        return;
    } else if(app.documents[0].textFrames.length == 0){
        alert("Make at least 1 text frame in the document.");
        return;
    }
    function marker(xy){
        var clr = new CMYKColor();
        clr.cyan = 0;
        clr.magenta = 100;
        clr.yellow = 100;
        clr.black = 0;
        var c = doc.pathItems.ellipse(xy[1] + 3, xy[0] - 3, 6, 6);
        c.fillColor = clr;
        c.filled = true;
        c.stroked = false;
    };
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    doc.layers[0].visible = true;
    doc.layers[0].locked = false;
    var t = doc.textFrames[0];
    marker([t.left, t.top]);
}
test();

With the help of a red circle to mark a landmark, I determined that the upper-left coordinate of a text object is a tribute to the bounding box of the appearance of point-text of a text element.

In this image, top/left of a text box is displayed, and it's obviously above the bounding box.

Now, when the block of text is converted into Point text, using Illustrator CC, the bounding box for the text of the point coincides with the location of the top/left marker. It is obvious that for point text, the UI-show bounding box is determined somehow since glyphs.

Explore further, it seems that the area of text that is highlighted when you use editing text also honors the bounding box of the text point.

When you change one of the glyphs, the letter 'X', in a different font and more large size of the font, point-text in the text block limits are modified to account for the highest letter.

On this basis, it seems that when you work out of the bounding box of the text in the box, using areaTextItem.textPath to get the left/top would work.

Satellite P30-145: where to find the Radeon 9700 Mobility for Vista drivers

Does anyone at - he had a success get drivers ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 to arrive correctly on a P30-145 on the RTM of Vista version? Currently, everything seems to be detected ok but I get an error in saying Device Manager: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "Googling didn't turn out much more than a certain number of people see this same error and it could be necessary an update of the BIOS, or the problem may be in the area of drivers ACPI?

Outside the upcoming graphics card not properly the only other comment I have is that system standby support doesn't seem to appear and that the cooling fan is continuously on, both of which I'm sure that can be fixed with a Toshiba release.

All had experiences with Vista and Satellite P30?

Hello

I have no Satellite P30, but it will be interesting to see what kind of support Toshiba will arrange for older models of laptops and where will be the last limitation (how the old units will be supported).

AFAIK P30 is about two years old and we will see if the units in the year 2005 will be Vista supported. Official start is January 2007. Before that I n t believe you will get official info. I just hope that my Satellite Pro M70 will be supported.

In any case good luck!

Where to find the correct SHA1 checksum for the upgrade Pro Windows 8 ISO?

I ordered the Windows 8 Pro upgrade online. (not a preview but the new product on 26/10/12). I downloaded and burned the ISO of the English version of the Windows 8 ISO file. I'm assuming that 64-bit. This took place without incident. I started the upgrade on a PC running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, but it failed during the installation phase of Windows 8 to 72% with the error "installing Windows 8 failed".

So I restarted the upgrade and it has not exactly in the same place (72%) and the same cryptic error.

So I contacted the Microsoft Store and they helped me to go through the process of downloading a 2nd time. The 2nd ISO file was exactly the same size, BUT it had a different SHA1 checksum!

Then I tried the upgrade using the new DVD burned in the 2nd ISO file and it failed at exactly at the same stage of the upgrade (72%).

So I got two corrupt downloads / Burns? I have no way to tell because all I know is that they have different amounts of control.

Maybe they all are both wrong, or maybe the question is something else entirely.

But first things first. How can I determine if my ISO file is correct?

What is the checksum SHA1 of a non-corrupt ISO file? Where to find the information online?

I have the same problem with my 64-bit windows English version.

I created a bootable DVD from iso and started to install a clean install by formatting the hard drive.

Installation will be stuck at 17% and it happened to me like 3 times and I burned a fresh DVD and always the same question.

It's like the worst level ever... Is there a way I can download an iso of 64-bit bootable DVD and use it to upgrade?

Where to get the authentec fingerprint drivers for various computers laptops hp that supports the functionality of the biometric device in windows 7?

Hello

We build a Windows 7 SOE for a large company that takes care of many models of computers laptops hp. Each of these laptops comes with a fingerprint reader, and we would like to use the built in support of fingerprint (biometric devices) reader that is running windows 7. The models that we support are as follows:
- HP 6910P
- HP 6930p
- HP 8510w
- HP 8530w
We tried using the drivers of fingerprint Authentec (aes2501a) on the hp website, but after the installation, the biometric device option is not in windows 7. We contacted HP about this and they said that we must use the driver coming from windows update before this option appears. After installing the driver from windows update, the option of the biometric device seemed that hp said. Therefore, because of the way that our SOE is built, we demand that the executable that is identical to that on windows update. Anyone know where we can find packages both x 64 and x 86 for this device driver, which are the same as those found when you go to update windows on these machines running windows 7? Let me know if you need any clarification.

Thank you

Hi Mustapha ETS.

Step 1: Locate the stand-alone file by inserting the device model number
a. visit http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
in the search box, enter the model number of the perimeter search of the driver.
c. download the right driver for your windows and install it successfully on all computers.

Note: If there is no available stand-alone file, I'm afraid you'll have to visit update of Windows on all computers and the installation of the update done or contact the device manufacturer to obtain the driver.

Visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

Satellite A500-1EE - where to find the 32-bit drivers for Windows 7?

Welcome!

I have the Satellite A500-1EE with the 64 bit version of Windows 7 and I need to install the 32-bit version of this system. Is this possible?

Because I can not find the drivers for 32 bit.

Hi tosipaw,

Of course, it is possible and you can install what you want on your laptop, but I put t understand why you want to change to 64-bit to 32-bit OS.
What are the reasons for that?

Normally everything can be downloaded here:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

Your model belongs to the series of PSAR9E and so only drivers 64-bit available.

If you are looking for all models A500 (without PSAR9E), you will find a large number of drivers Vista 32 bit. Maybe they work and it s worth a try! :)
