[dev] Fwd: Impress memory not clearing on file close

2010-11-24 Thread Chris Rider

 (Bump...)

 We've been extensively testing opening/viewing PPT files, and have
noticed repeatable issues with memory not being cleared. These issues
appear when opening PPT files, ODP files, or even creating new ODP files.

We run CentOS 5.5, OOo 3.2.1

Do the following while monitoring resources (with like top)...
- Open OOo by running soffice
- Note base-level memory usage (in our test-case, 4-something MB)
- Open/Create presentation file (new, existing, PPT, ODP, etc. - any/all)
- Note memory again... (in our test case, 7.6MB)

All well and good up to this point now it gets interesting...
- Go to File -  Close
- Note memory again... does NOT reduce!

Again, it didn't matter whether we created a new file, opened PPT,
opened ODP, etc whenever the file is closed, the peak memory use
remains. However, in these cases, completely closing soffice DID result
in the memory being cleared.

We first started investigating this while developing with document
server (and trying to figure out a memory leak there).

Closing a file and cleaning the memory should be at the forefront,
right? Is this by design? If a bug or memory leak, then it would be nice
to see it addressed in the new version coming out soon :)

[dev] An unusual hyperlink format??

2010-09-02 Thread Chris Brown
I have a program that allows people to brand PDF files that have been 
constructed in a specifc way.
I have been using Serif's PagePlus software to write documents.

This allows me to highlight text on a page, and then use a menu to enter a 
hyperlink as:
 {Enter your link|The required URL}
The result is that the text appears underlined, and the PDF source code shows 
as:

/S/URI
/URI({Enter your link|The required URL})

However, I have tried various arrangements in the program, but all I can create 
is:
/S/URI/(chosen url)

Before I modify my site to say OpenOffice will not create the brndable PDF 
files correctly, 
is there a work around users could add / method that will allow the above 
string to be generated?

Thanks for your advice.

[dev] Building a wireless presenter application

[dev] Rich Text Format Support in OpenOffice.org Writer

2010-06-16 Thread Chris Carpenter
Hello,

First off, I need to say that this is -not- a message complaining about rich
text format support. Now that that is out of the way...

I would like to volunteer my services to help improve the RTF support for
openoffice.org writer. However, I am a fairly new programmer and would
require some guidance getting into the code base, and also some guidance on
how to work with a large project such as this one.

The first question is probably: Why would I want to improve RTF support?
Well, my college uses exclusively Microsoft Word for essentianally
everything, and doesn't support anything else well. The only concession they
will make is to allow submissions in, and send documents in, RTF format.
Since RTF support isn't the best right now, i'd like to see if I can manage
to improve it, even if only a little bit. I had a discussion about why I'd
want to do this here:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7t=31596.

If anyone has the time to point me in the right direction, it would be
appreciated.

Thank you,
Chris Carpenter(mordocai)

[dev] Please Help: Getting the width / height sizes to create a RectangleShape to create a boundary box

2010-01-13 Thread Chris Fleischmann

Hello folks, just wondering if there is a more accurate way of converting
pixels to 1/00mm in OpenOffice... Other than the 72 DPI type of calculation
people use?

Currently I do the following: 

if (fontDescriptor[i].Name.equalsIgnoreCase(Arial)) {
fontDescriptor[i].Height = (short)12; // just an
arbitrary height number.

XFont xFont = xDevice.getFont(fontDescriptor[i]);

width = xFont.getStringWidth(message);

SimpleFontMetric simpleFontMetric =
xFont.getFontMetric();

height = simpleFontMetric.Ascent +
simpleFontMetric.Descent +
simpleFontMetric.Leading;

break;
}
}
Object shape = xWriterFactory_tmp.createInstance(
com.sun.star.drawing.RectangleShape);

XShape xShape = (XShape) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XShape.class, shape);

xShape.setPosition(new Point(pageBorderLeft, pageBorderTop));

int nwidth = (int)(((float)width / (float)72) * (float)2540) +
50; // This is what I use to convert, which works on the MAC.
int nheight = (int)(((float)height / (float)72) * (float)2540) +
50; // This is what I use to convert, which works on the MAC.

System.out.println(New Height:  + nheight);
System.out.println(New Width:  + nwidth);

xShape.setSize(new Size(nwidth, nheight));

Now the above code works hapilly on my Apple Laptop, but when I move the
same code over to OpenSolaris and the width calculation is way off the
font is either larger or smaller depending on the height size of the font.

Any advice or help, much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

int nheight = (int)(((float)height / (float)72) * (float)2540) + 50;

I get the right sized image, at least for hte MAC, on OpenSolaris its no
good.

Any tips, or anything I am doing wrong, please let me know... Thanks once

2010-01-02 Thread Chris Fleischmann

Thanks for responding, I have since tried playing around with the orientation
settings, but alas, its still not keeping the x/y position from the
paragraph anchor when I open it up in Word ... See the picture properties
here for one of my images in openoffice 3.1.1:

http://old.nabble.com/file/p26992864/Screen%2Bshot%2B2010-01-02%2Bat%2B11.46.15%2BPM.png
 

Unfortunately, it still moves to the TOP of the paragraph anchor, and also
moves to the leftmost position possible.

So given the paragraph anchor, the image moves to the top left position of
the anchor.

Thanks in advance for any other tips.

Hello...

I have since tried the following code, which aims to do just that... It add
the picture to a frame, The frame is either anchored to a paragraph or
frame...Thats is, I have a parent frame which is anchored to a particular
page, with PAGE anchoring... Inside that frame is the NEW frame that now
holds the image.

This all works in OpenOffice... The document works perfectly. In MS Word...
I don't see the images or new frames at all.

See code here:

However when I open up the document in MS Word, the image, has been

Is there a way to make sure the position is maintained in both OOo and MS

[dev] Is this how you create a bitmap image from using xDevice.createDisplayBitmap

2009-07-07 Thread Chris Fleischmann

I found this code here:

// System.out.println( The bitmap is going to be painted! );
XDevice xDevice = 
(XDevice)UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XDevice.class,
m_xWindow );
if ( xDevice != null )
{
// System.out.println( Step1 );
XGraphics xGraphics = 
xDevice.createGraphics();
if ( xBitmap != null )
{
// System.out.println( Step2 
);
XDisplayBitmap xDisplayBitmap = 
xDevice.createDisplayBitmap( xBitmap
);

com.sun.star.awt.Size aSize = 
xBitmap.getSize();
xGraphics.draw( xDisplayBitmap, 
0, 0, aSize.Width, aSize.Height,

aRect.X, aRect.Y, aRect.Width, aRect.Height );
}

// System.out.println( Step3 );

xGraphics.drawLine( aRect.X - 1, 
aRect.Y - 1,

aRect.X + aRect.Width + 1, aRect.Y - 1 );
xGraphics.drawLine( aRect.X + 
aRect.Width + 1, aRect.Y - 1,

aRect.X + aRect.Width + 1, aRect.Y + aRect.Height + 1 );
xGraphics.drawLine( aRect.X + 
aRect.Width + 1, aRect.Y + aRect.Height +
1,

aRect.X - 1, aRect.Y + aRect.Height + 1 );
xGraphics.drawLine( aRect.X - 1, 
aRect.Y + aRect.Height + 1,

aRect.X - 1, aRect.Y - 1 );

-

Is this how you draw to your new bitmap? Is it this command that says draw
to this bitmap from now on?

xGraphics.draw( xDisplayBitmap, 0, 0, aSize.Width, aSize.Height,

aRect.X, aRect.Y, aRect.Width, aRect.Height );

So the next few lines that are drawn are drawn to the bitmap?

Thanks in advance, the API on it was faily vague.
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/awt/XGraphics.html#draw

Thanks once again!!!
Chris

Re: [dev] TextGraphicObject, XTransferable and Save As, Microsoft Word, out of memory errors

2009-07-02 Thread Chris Fleischmann

I've also noticed that if I open up the saved word document in Word, and
right mouse click to see options for the picture... I see that it is
anchored as, AS CHARACTER, I then reselect AT PARAGRAPH and save it...
What I notice is that I am now able to open up the document in M$
Word...?

My code for the embedding of an image is as follows:

You will see from the code below that I retrieve the URL from the image
loaded in the document, and then use queryGraphics to reload the embedded
image.

--

try {
XTextGraphicObjectsSupplier os =
(XTextGraphicObjectsSupplier) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTextGraphicObjectsSupplier.class, xTextDocument_dest);

XNameAccess as = os.getGraphicObjects();

if ((as != null)  (as.hasElements())) {
String names[] = as.getElementNames();

for (int i = 0; i  names.length; i++) {
Object o = (Object) as.getByName(names[i]);

XTextContent xImage = (XTextContent)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTextContent.class, o);

XPropertySet xProps = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XPropertySet.class, xImage);

String url =
(String)xProps.getPropertyValue(GraphicURL);
   
PropertyValue aMediaProperties[] = new PropertyValue[1];

aMediaProperties[0] = new PropertyValue();
aMediaProperties[0].Name = URL;
aMediaProperties[0].Value = url;
   
xProps.setPropertyValue(AnchorType,

XGraphic xGraphic =
xGraphicProvider.queryGraphic(aMediaProperties);

xProps.setPropertyValue(GraphicURL, null);
xProps.setPropertyValue(Graphic, xGraphic);
   
XPropertySetInfo xPropertySetInfo =
xProps.getPropertySetInfo();
Property property[] = xPropertySetInfo.getProperties();

for (int j = 0; j  property.length; j++) {
System.out.println(property[j].Name +  =  +
xProps.getPropertyValue(property[j].Name));
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

[dev] TextGraphicObject, XTransferable and Save As, Microsoft Word, out of memory errors

2009-07-01 Thread Chris Fleischmann

Hello Folks... I am using the XTransferable Object to copy sections of a
source document over to a destination document (that was opened as blank)..
This seems to work, copying images, text, text styles etc.

In terms of the source document I am loading images like so:

The resultant destination file can happily be saved and reopened in ODT
format, but if I choose to Save AS a word doc, re-opening the file in office
2007 or mac office 2008, I get the following error/dialog:

There is not enough memory or disk space to display or print the picture

Although I have over 45GB spare with 4Gig of RAM... The Word Doc size is
only 2.4MB in size.

I have also tried iWork Pages, the images show, but the program also shows a
warning saying, Type, Missing File, Value, Image.

The Full Java code is here: 
http://www.nabble.com/file/p24296829/TextDocumentStructure3.java
TextDocumentStructure3.java 

Any thoughts, ideas or how-to's? I've been trying to solve this for 3 days
now. :(

Its been driving me crazy. Thanks in advance,

[dev] OO 2.4.0 compile/install help

2008-05-18 Thread Chris Brown
For the last couple of days I have been trying to get OO 3 to compile, 
with no luck. I decided to try an older version, so I chose 2.4.0 
(http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.0/source.html).


I followed the instructions and it built with no errors. I am now trying 
to install my build and was following the instructions here:

(http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_linux.html#GetTheSourceCode)
but I do not have a setup binary as described in the instructions.
My directories are also different, ex:
They say the setup should be here:

$SRC_ROOT cd instsetoo_native/unxlngi4.pro/OpenOffice/install/en-US
en-US ./setup 


but the closest I have is:
:~/OOo2/OOH680_m12/instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/deb/install/en-US

but no luck finding a setup binary.

Does this mean that the build failed somehow but did not throw an error? 
Or am I just doing something wrong.


Thanks everyone.

When building with cairo, you almost certainly need to specify
--with-sytem-freetype, since the that is in OOo's sources just is too
old.

Re: [dev] Ubuntu Linux OO.o compile errors

2008-05-16 Thread Chris Brown
No, I didn't remove any of it. Do I need to? Also, if an error like this
happens, I fix it, and remove the unglngx6.pro will I be able to begin
compiling where I left off or is a complete recompile necessary on every
error? I guess I need to do some research on what the unglngx file does.

 did you remove *all* you builded up to know?

 I always (yes...sadly with every new version, there are new build breakers)
 remove *only* the unxlngx6.pro folder in the module where the error
 ocurred, and then re-build.

You can use the following commands to unpack the DEBs and copy
everything to an installation directory, note that you may want to
exclude the openoffice.org-*-integration_* packages to not clutter up
your desktop, so move them away first.

mkdir temppath
cd temppath
for x in PathToDebs/*.deb; do alien --to-tgz --generate $x; done
mkdir YourInstPath
cp -av */opt/openoffice.org2.0/* YourInstPath

Then edit YourInstPath/program/bootstraprc to let UserInstallation point
to a path not interferring with your work environment. Do this before
running OOo the first time.

If building RPMs,
ftp://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/install_scripts/
has some scripts to install RPMs in userland.

[dev] How to run from solver

2006-06-08 Thread Chris

Hello !

I just started trying to hack OO a bit.
I finally made it to run a complete build from the CVS repository.

The build ends with a bunch ob .deb files to install on my Debian system.

Question: How can I install my build in a separate directory without 
affecting

the package system? Is it possible to run OO directly from the source tree ?

Any hints welcome.

[dev] OpenOffice without Java

2006-06-07 Thread Chris Harrington
All,

I have some questions regarding the use of Java in OOo.

1. Would there be any OOo performance gains by disabling Java in the build
process?

2. If java was disabled in the build what besides the Base application and
some Wizards would be affected?

3. In order to build OOo without Java are there any other flags that need to
be passed besides the --disable Java?

Thanks,

--Chris

Subject: [dev] OOo scans by Coverity?

Hi,

in April there was a posting here by Ben Chelf, who announced that 
Coverity does OOo code scans. (See 
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=devmsgId=2565502)

Meanwhile when I look at http://scan.coverity.com/, OOo does no longer 
seem to be listed there. Does anybody know details?

Also I'd be interested, if some of the issues Coverity found (there have 
been about 50 in the OOo code itself) are worked on by anybody already?

Best regards,

Change

Then add this right below it:

working out two ways to do it for Linux and Windows.  I've got it working
now, but I have one problem: The first time a user uses OOo, they have to
register.  This does not work on systems where it will always be run as
headless.  That means the installer had to start it an extra time and has
created problems where someone forgot to do this and then a system was not
working for days in the headless mode.

I've only had this problem on Linux.  I can set the value for running the
initial wizard to false and it's on problem in Windows.  I can't get it to
work with Linux, though.  I've seen many comments on this, but nothing that
works.  I saw several comments that said to edit Common.xcu and add this to
the Registration node:

  prop oor:name=ReminderDate oor:type=xs:string

  /prop
  prop oor:name=RequestDialog oor:type=xs:int

  /prop

I've done that and it makes no difference.

This is enough of a critical problem that we may have to discontinue use of
OOo if it can't be solved.

It wouldn't be so bad if OOo could be run in headless mode without the
registration being done, but if it hasn't been registered, OOo won't start
in headless mode.

Any suggestions?  Google has not been of much help on this.

Thanks!

You are correct, it was a bad entry in the PATH variable. There was also 
another issue with the DirectX SDK. The instructions at 
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html are not 
totally accurate. It states that the Summer 2004 SDK is not available

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FD044A42-9912-42A3-9A9E-D857199F888Edisplaylang=en


The configure script checks to see if the DirectX SDK is installed by 
locating a registry entry. This entry is not present with the 2005 or 
2006 SDK's, only with the 2004.


After that was cleared up it has been building for about 3 hours.

[dev] GCC 4.1 and OpenOffice build 2.0.1.2

2006-02-01 Thread Chris White
Hi all,

I'm currently building Open Office with gcc-4.1.0 20060120 snapshot.  
It says 
my compiler is unkown, and to post the configure results 
( gcc.hpp:67:7:warning #warning Unknown compiler version... ).  However, I'd 
like to know if the compiler unknown warning is based upon the version or the 
compiler itself.  Should the results of the configure tests (are you looking 
for a config.log? Something along that?) be posted as requested, or has 
someone already done that?  I've checked the archives and noticed a gjc 
related note for 4.1, but that's about it.

I'll go ahead and save a log to watch for any warnings that are specific to 
that version.

As for that status, it's compiled about 75% through (I estimate) and nothing's 
bombed out so far.

 Just a warning.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up, wanted to make sure it wasn't anything that

[dev] One small job...

2006-01-19 Thread Chris
One small job for a developer ...one giant help for teacher-kind:

I have developed a toolbar for Microsoft Word called Teacher's Pet which can
be used to create classroom material. The toolbar incorporates a range of
useful VBA macros and it is freely available for download from my website at
www.teachers-pet.org.
 
Since I began two years ago, the tool has been downloaded by some 41,000
teachers and the website is now visited by between 200 and 300 visitors per
day. A search on Google for the words free teacher software gives a
measure of the site's popularity.
 
However, not all of my visitors download the toolbar and, judging by the
regular emails that I receive, the reason for this is often that they do not
have Microsoft Word - perhaps because, being teachers, they cannot afford
such a suite.
 
I have also received many direct requests for me to create a version of the
Teacher's Pet for OpenOffice. This is something I would gladly do if I had
the time, money or skills to achieve such a task, and this is why I am
writing to you.
 
The Teacher's Pet is a small tool which would require little effort to
convert to OpenOffice for a programmer (which I am not). If someone were
willing to arrange for the Teacher's Pet to be converted to OpenOffice, then
you can be sure that I would actively encourage my visitors to download the
OpenOffice suite and would fully credit OpenOffice for their support in
making such the tool available to teachers.
 
I see this not only as a great opportunity for those teachers who are
currently unable to make use of the Teacher's Pet, but also as a great
opportunity for OpenOffice to boost there presence in the Education sector.
 
I hope this suggestion appeals to you. If you can offer any advice on how
best to pursue this issue further, it would be greatly appreciated.

The way it works is a developer or group of them do it.  Then it is  
done. In the case of OOo, which has such corporate interests, the  
corporate execs may allocate resources. But then they are marching to  
the beat of their own drummers.  The overall community can suggest  
things that are important to do, but we can't just arrange for things  
to be done.

So, this leaves us with marketing.  What you can do, then, is to  
inform the developer community and others of your app/toolbar and how  
they can intervene.  We can help by providing the marketing gravity  
(for lack of a better term) that will draw developers in.

 I see this not only as a great opportunity for those teachers who are 
 currently unable to make use of the Teacher's Pet, but also as
 a great opportunity for OpenOffice to boost there presence in the  
 Education sector.

I'm sure it is, but the point is persuading other developers.

[dev] VBA Macro Conversion Request

2005-03-27 Thread Chris
I have a simple but painfully awkward request: Would you like to do lots of
work for no money?
 
On my website www.teachers-pet.org I offer a free Microsoft Word template
for teachers that includes a range of useful macros for producing classroom
exercises and games. I developed the tool myself, starting with zero
knowledge of programming two years ago and learning as I went along.
 
Since then I have had many requests from visitors to my site for this tool
to be made available for OpenOffice. Unfortunately, I simply do not have the
time or necessary skills to do the job and I have no idea how much work it
would entail - though my amateur code may make the job more difficult than
expected!
 
I am looking for someone who would be interested in converting the tool to
work in OpenOffice. However, as I receive donations that barely cover the
cost of running the site, I can offer little more than credit for the work.
 
If this fact is of any interest to you; I would also be very happy to
encourage all those visitors to my site who do not have Microsoft Word
(there are many poor teachers around the world who fit into this category)
to download the OpenOffice suite so that they can utilise the macros.
 
What do you say? Am I making a complete fool of myself by sending such a
brazen request to a mailing list of serious professional developers, or
what?
