Gtk TextView - how to change width of cursor? - ruby

I'm using a Gtk TextView in a small Ruby program. The text cursor is a vertical bar, only 1 pixel wide. I have changed its colour to red but it is still barely visible. Can it be made wider?
require "gtk2"
tl = Gtk::Window.new
vb = Gtk::VBox.new false, 0
tl.add vb
sw = Gtk::ScrolledWindow.new
tview = Gtk::TextView.new
tbuf = Gtk::TextBuffer.new
tview.set_buffer tbuf
tview.set_wrap_mode Gtk::TextTag::WRAP_WORD
tview.set_justification Gtk::JUSTIFY_FILL
font = Pango::FontDescription.new "Serif, 11"
tview.modify_font font
red = Gdk::Color.new 65535, 20000, 20000
tview.modify_cursor red, red
sw.add tview
vb.pack_start sw, true, true, 0
tl.show_all
tbuf.set_text %(I'm using a Gtk TextView in a small Ruby program. The text cursor is a vertical bar, only 1 pixel wide. I have changed its colour to red but it is still barely visible. Can it be made wider?)

Hexapdf: trying to draw white box, but its not appearing

When I run my code, my white box does not appear. I need a white box to cover existing images, text, so I can add new text. If I change the color to background_color: [255,255,180], the box is a transparent yellow. However, I need a non-transparent white.
require 'hexapdf'
require 'pry'
doc = HexaPDF::Document.open('template.pdf')
pages = doc.pages
box = HexaPDF::Layout::Box.create(
width: 500, height: 500, content_box: true,
background_color: [255,255,255]
)
pages.each do |p|
canvas = p.canvas(type: :underlay)
box.draw(canvas, 20, 100)
end
doc.write("template_with_white_box.pdf")
You need to use canvas = p.canvas(type: :overlay) for this to work because the underlay canvas draws beneath the existing page whereas the overlay canvas draws above the existing page.

iText 7 - How to fill a canvas rectangle with a transparent color

In iText 7.1.9 I am taking a pdf created programmatically (not via iText) and need to apply a transparent rectangle along the left side and bottom to ensure the no content exists within a predefined clear zone (for print).
The below code places the yellow rectangles correctly but the desired result is the for the yellow fill to be semi-transparent or not 100% opaque so that visual inspection will show the content that that intersects with the rectangle instead of the rectangle clipping the content.
var page = pdf.GetPage(1);
PdfCanvas canvas = new PdfCanvas(page);
canvas.SaveState();
canvas.SetFillColor(iText.Kernel.Colors.ColorConstants.YELLOW);
var pageHeight = page.GetPageSize().GetHeight();
var pageWidth = page.GetPageSize().GetWidth();
// left side
canvas.Rectangle(0, 0, 15, pageHeight);
// bottom
canvas.Rectangle(0, 0, pageWidth, 15);
canvas.Fill();
canvas.RestoreState();
I attempted to use a TransparentColor but canvas.SetFillColor won't accept a TransparentColor, are there any other options?
When we speak about low-level content stream instructions, color itself and transparency levels are specified separately in PDF syntax. The TransparentColor class that you speak about was designed to simplify lives of users who are less familiar with nuances of PDF syntax, but it it a higher-level class that you can use e.g. in layout module, and in your case you operate with the document on quite low level.
Long story short, to set color transparency you only need one additional line next to setting the color itself:
canvas.SetExtGState(new PdfExtGState().SetFillOpacity(0.5f));
So the code becomes:
var page = pdf.GetPage(1);
PdfCanvas canvas = new PdfCanvas(page);
canvas.SaveState();
canvas.SetFillColor(iText.Kernel.Colors.ColorConstants.YELLOW);
canvas.SetExtGState(new PdfExtGState().SetFillOpacity(0.5f));
var pageHeight = page.GetPageSize().GetHeight();
var pageWidth = page.GetPageSize().GetWidth();
// left side
canvas.Rectangle(0, 0, 15, pageHeight);
// bottom
canvas.Rectangle(0, 0, pageWidth, 15);
canvas.Fill();
canvas.RestoreState();

Inactive caption text color in Windows 10

In Windows 10, how do you get the color of inactive caption text?
In the example below, "Untitled - Notepad" is gray when window is inactive:
But the color I get is black when I try the following functions:
color = GetSysColor(COLOR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT);
//color = black, wrong
HTHEME htheme = OpenThemeData(hwnd, L"WINDOW");
color = GetThemeSysColor(htheme, COLOR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT);
//color = black, wrong
GetThemeColor(htheme, WP_CAPTION, CS_INACTIVE, TMT_TEXTCOLOR, &color);
//color = black, wrong
DrawThemeText and DrawThemeTextEx also print the inactive caption in black.
All of these functions work fine in Windows 7 because inactive caption remains the same color, only the Aero glass thing changes color. But it's not the same in Windows 10.

Mathematica : Add text to imported image / graphic as a label

Ive searched for hours ... but Im at a loss !
I have imported an image int Mathematica -> dimensions 2x2cm at 72DPI.
I am trying to "label" the image with a text string that:
- has font color "fontColor"
- has a black outline, so it contrasts to any underlying color
- sits in the bottom right corner of the imported image
- has size h/w in cm
- optionally sits in a text box with a white background
This is how far ive come:
MathCode:
image = Import["myimg.jpg"];
inchFactor = 2.54;(* 1 inch = 2.54cm *)
docRes = 72;
pixelConverter = docRes/inchFactor/2;
myText = First[
First[ImportString[
ExportString[
Style["glorious label string here", Bold, FontSize -> 15,
FontFamily -> "Verdana"], "PDF"], "PDF",
"TextMode" -> "Outlines"]]];
myTextGraphic =
Graphics[{EdgeForm[Directive[Black, Thickness[0.01]]], White,
myText}, Background -> White,
ImageSize -> {10*pixelConverter, 2*pixelConverter}];
myTextGraphic = Rasterize[myTextGraphic];
combined = SetAlphaChannel[myTextGraphic, myTextGraphicAlphaVersion];
I found the above method (PDF wrapper) for the black outline of the text string.
I am adding an AlphaChannel to the graphic of the text string using a version of it that only uses black/white.
I then try to combine the images with Overlay.
As none of this seems to work concerning the outputted image size and positioning, Im kindly asking for help.
ThereĀ“s no need to "fix" that messy code.
Maybe you could point me to a script or tutorial - all I really want is to add and position a text string or text box to an underlying image.
Thanks a lot !
Have a look at this. There are other ways too.
img = Import["http://todayinsci.com/H/Hilbert_David/HilbertDavidThm.jpg"];
Column[{
img,
Text[Style["Professor Hilbert", Red]]
}]
imgCtr = Round[ImageDimensions[img]/2];
overlay = Framed[Graphics[{Text[Style["Professor Hilbert", Red, 9], imgCtr]},ImageSize-> {66, 14}], FrameStyle -> Green]
Overlay[{img, overlay}, Alignment -> Center]
It's late here so this is only the beginning of a solution for you but here's a simple way to add a text label to an image:
lbl = Graphics[Text[Style["Bottom", Red, Large]]]
which creates an image with the text 'Bottom' in red in a large font. Next, given an image called img1
ImageCompose[img1,lbl]
puts the text in the centre of the image. ImageCompose has options to allow you to position the second image (ie the label) wrt the first image. You can put the label on a coloured background like this:
lbl = Graphics[Text[Style["Bottom", Red, Large, Background -> Blue]]]
I haven't figured out, yet, how to write the text with a coloured outline.

Matlab, GUI, Scrolling content in Pane. How to hide overflow?

I am trying to make a Matlab GUI that has a panel with scrolling content inside of a larger figure. I am having a problem hiding the overflow content when it scrolls out of the subpanel.
I got the code for the scrollbar from this SO post: Adding scroll bar in subplots within GUI
Try the code below. I have a figure, an outer panel (smaller than the figure, child to the figure), a scrolling panel (with a height greater than the figure, child to outer panel), a scroll bar, and a text field to appear in the scrolling pane (child to the scrolling panel).
When you try the code you will see the text string, which is just the alphabet repeated, scrolls up and down the whole length of the figure, but the scrolling panel stops at the edge of the limits of the outer panel.
How can I correct this problem. Thanks.

set(handles.hSld,'Value',1);

end
function onSlide(hSld,~,hPan,hOut)
%# slider value
offset = get(hSld,'Value');
%# update panel position
p = get(hPan, 'Position'); %# panel current position
ph = get(hOut, 'Position');
set(hPan, 'Position',[p(1) -offset*(p(4)-ph(4)) p(3) p(4)])
end
I would use a container object that has scroll capability built-in. Take a look at:
