I have multiple tablixes that are rendered individually on each Excel worksheet when exported. However, I need the position of the tablixes to remain the same throughout all the different sheets, because currently, from the second sheet onwards, the tablix is not in the same position as the first one.
Please help!
What I have done in the past:
You should create the tablix objects with a fixed height and width for better use of assignment.
You should be altering it more on the 'Properties' pane than trying to use the mouse for fixed positions to be more precise. Set the 'tablix' object of my first one and select 'Size' to be 3in, 0.75in for 3 inch width and 0.75 in height.
I would set the 'Location' for the first to 0in,0in. Then using a similar method as 2 for setting a fixed size, start you next one at 0in,(height of first)in. So in my case it would be 0in,0.75in for the next one.
Set the 'PageBreak' > 'BreakLocation' to be 'End' for the first one and every other object you need to break onto a new page. You should NOT do this for the last object as you could generate a blank final page potentially.
Optional:
You can name the pages as well that appear under 'PageName' as this names the sheet in Excel as well.
Treat your report template as a Cartesian plane, with origin on top left corner with positive y-axis in the "down" direction. Ensure that your charts/graphs/tables are of the same dimension and placed at equidistant points within your plane. E.g. If you have two charts both 2 inches by 2 inches and your report template is 4 inches by 4 inches, then your first chart will be at (0,0) and your 2nd will be at (0,2). Keep this in mind and you will not falter, god-speed!

I have a .rdlc report with grouping (4 levels).
In the last level, I have a pretty complex design of textboxes/images that can't be done with rows/cols. For example, they overlap on some points.
So what I have to do is to put a Rectangle on the cell and then, inside the Rectangle, put all the components.
The problem I have now is that some of these components can be hidden depending on the data, and because of that, sometimes there is a lot of white space inside the report that I don't want.
Is there any way to shrink the Rectangle if it doesn't have any visible data?
Unfortunately, by design Rows and Columns will not shrink below its definition height/width, therefore, a Rectangle can only be as small as its Cell.
However, you could try to make it as small as possible, and rely on the CanGrow property of Textboxes ("Property" window, under "General" tab), as suggested in the link given above.
I don't know if its right forum. I'm posting question related to autocad. So please share link of forum (if I'm not allowed to ask it here)
How can I change point size (single point size 1/2/3) of point cloud (imported as pcg) in autocad.
POINT Command
Creates a point object
Draw menu: Point
Command line: point
Specify a point:
Points can act as nodes to which you can snap objects. You can specify a full three-dimensional location for a point. The current elevation is assumed if you omit the Z coordinate value.
The PDMODE and PDSIZE system variables control the appearance of point objects. PDMODE values 0, 2, 3, and 4 specify a figure to draw through the point. A value of 1 specifies that nothing is displayed.
Specifying the value 32, 64, or 96 selects a shape to draw around the point, in addition to the figure drawn through it:
PDSIZE controls the size of the point figures, except for PDMODE values 0 and 1. A setting of 0 generates the point at 5 percent of the drawing area height. A positive PDSIZE value specifies an absolute size for the point figures. A negative value is interpreted as a percentage of the viewport size. The size of all points is recalculated when the drawing is regenerated.
After you change PDMODE and PDSIZE, the appearance of existing points changes the next time AutoCAD regenerates the drawing.
Let's say I have a list of values and I have already chunked them into groups to make a histogram.
Since Excel doesn't have histograms, I made a bar plot using the groups I developed. Specifically, I have the frequencies 2 6 12 10 2 and it produces the bar plot you see below.
Next, I want to add a normal distribution (line plot) with a mean of 0.136 and standard deviation of 0.497 on top of this histogram. How can I do this in excel? I need the axis to line up such that it takes up the width of the bar plot. Otherwise, you get something like I've attached.
But...the normal should be overlayed on the bar plot. How can I get this effect?
There are two main part to this answer:
First, I reverse-engineered the grouped data to come up with an appropriate mean and standard deviation on this scale.
Second, I employed some chart trickery to make the normal distribution curve look right when superimposed on the column chart. I used Excel 2007 for this; hopefully you have the same options available in your version.
Part 1: Reverse-Engineer
The column B formulae are:
Last Point =MAX(A2:A6)
Mean =SUMPRODUCT(B2:B6,A2:A6)/SUM(B2:B6)
E(x^2f) =SUMPRODUCT(A2:A6^2,B2:B6)
E(xf)^2 =SUMPRODUCT(A2:A6,B2:B6)^2
E(f) =SUM(B2:B6)
Variance =B10-B11/B12
StDev =SQRT(B13/(B12-1))
Part 2: Chart Trickery
Data table:
Column D is just an incremental counter. This will be the number of data points in the normal distribution curve.
E2 =D2/$B$8 etc.
F2 =NORMDIST(E2,$B$9,$B$14,FALSE) etc.
Chart:
Now, add Columns E:F to the chart. You will need to massage a few things:
Change the series to be an X-Y plot. This might require some editing of the chart series to force a single series to use your desired X and Y values.
Change the series to use the secondary axes (both X and Y).
Change the secondary X-axis range to 0.5-5.5 (i.e., 0.5 on either side of the column chart category values). This will effectively align the primary and secondary X-axes.
Change the secondary Y-axis range to 0-1
Format the X-Y series appearance to taste (I suggest removing value markers).
The result so far:
Lastly, you can remove the tick marks and labels on the secondary axes to clean up the look.
Postscript: Thanks to John Peltier for innumerable charting inspirations over the years.

I have a long UML diagram, I use the following code.
The figure is about two and a half page long, but only the first page is showing, and the lower part of the figure is missing. How do I display the whole diagram in multiple page?
Exactly what code should I add?
\usepackage{graphicx}
......
\includegraphics[height= 81.3cm, width=18cm]{myImage.png}
\captionof{figure}{Sequence Diagram}
Screenshot:
You can use the viewport option of \includegraphics to display a specific portion of the image. By using this command three times you can display your image in three portions.
The viewport option takes 4 arguments:
The first two values are the (x,y) coordinates (in pixels) of the lower left corner of the portion of the image file you want to include.
The second two values are the coordinates of the upper right corner.
For example, the command \includegraphics*[viewport=0 0 100 100]{myImage.png} would display the bottom-left corner of the image. Note that you need the * in order to actually crop the image; otherwise it will only be shifted.
I want to draw 15 images in drawRect: but the biggest I could find was NSDrawNinePartImage() I want 4 corners, top/bottom fill, and 3 rows between them (two side fills and a center fill)
What is recommended here? NinePart + 2 * ThreePart? Or something else?
NSDrawNinePartImage is for drawing a single thing that's divided into nine aligned sections like a tic-tac-toe/noughts-and-crosses board.
The primary use case for that is a rounded-rectangle UI element, such as a button. You'd have four fixed-size corners, four uniaxially-stretchable sides, and one biaxially-stretchable center.
That doesn't fit with what you're describing. Three center columns?
If the two extra columns should be fixed in horizontal size, then put each end's images together into a single image per corner and per side. Then use NSDrawNinePartImage as normal.
If the two extra columns are part of the center column and so should be horizontally stretchable, then I suggest that you use NSDrawThreePartImage from inside an NSCustomImageRep subclass and use an instance of that subclass for each of three center-column part images. Then use NSDrawNinePartImage as normal.
(Substitute “rows” for “columns” and “vertically” for “horizontally” in the previous three paragraphs if you want.)
