Hi Stefano, I totally agree, here is the problem: I've offered to write this script provided with the relevant server/directory information. I've offered to help however I can to get the POI website up, the builds and releases up, etc. No one has taken me up on it. Via CVS is the ONLY way mod

Wow that does help... I wonder if there is something in the RowRecord that we're not setting correctly? Any thoughts Glen? On Thu, 2002-03-07 at 00:56, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG > RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT >

RE: [ poi-Bugs-522488 ] failed to create HSSFWorkbook

Thanks Glen, I can verify that fixed my bug. Might I propose someone update the log4j.jar file in the lib dir under CVS? It appears to be the 1.2alpha7 level, which is NOT backwards compatible with log4j1.1x. I used the log4j 1.2beta4 with my build this morning, and it seems to be working gre

FontMetrics from HSSFFont?

This is sort of along the lines of a question I asked earlier about getting the pixel width given a String of text (This would help me set an Excel column's width). Andy made a couple of suggestions, one of which was use the java.awt.FontMetrics object, which has methods to return the advan

Re: FontMetrics from HSSFFont?

I think you have to construct an AWT font class. But I want a clean room impl. for POI. You'll have to construct an AWT Font using the info in HSSFFont. >On Thu, 7 Mar 2002 15:24:29 -0500 "D. Alvarado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote. >This is sort of along the lines of a question I asked earlier abo

Title: RE: FontMetrics from HSSFFont? I run a JVM on an AS/400  it's an IBM midrange computer, and it does not have a graphical interface.. So to use AWT classes, they created this RAWT class that you link over the AWT classes that make tcp/ip calls to a PC, to handle font metrics..  It reall

RE: FontMetrics from HSSFFont?

Yeah, JDK 1.4 supplies a headless (no paging device, no font server) graphics context, providing access to much, but significantly *not* all, of the graphics primitives of the awt packages. However .. it does not provide good support for fonts, the built in fonts Helvetica and Times (is that righ

The question is: Using this, can you get a reliable measure on what the size of the string "Hello World!!" is using 12 point Arial? If not...we need our own. Your graphic is very cool BTW. Have you looked at Batik? It, other than that causing Cocoon's dependency on X, has some really cool c

This is one way to get a FontMetrics object w/o a Graphics object StyleContext context = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext(); Font font = new Font(...); FontMetrics fm = context.getFontMetrics(font); - Original Message - From: "Rainer Klute" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
