How to create a clustered bar graph using Prefuse? - java

I was able to create a single bar graph using the code from Samir Talwar by modifying the renderer as the following:
vis.setRendererFactory(new RendererFactory() {
Renderer yAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer(Constants.RIGHT, Constants.TOP);
Renderer xAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer(Constants.CENTER, Constants.FAR_BOTTOM);
Renderer barRenderer = new ShapeRenderer() {
protected Shape getRawShape(VisualItem item) {
double x = item.getX();
double y = item.getY();
if (Double.isNaN(x) || Double.isInfinite(x))
x = getInsets().left + axisWidth + totalBarWidth / 2;
if (Double.isNaN(y) || Double.isInfinite(y))
y = 0;
double width = totalBarWidth / (barCount + 1) - barGap;
double height = getHeight() - getInsets().bottom - axisHeight - y;
x -= width / 2;
item.setFillColor(item.getStrokeColor());
return rectangle(x, y, width, height);
}
};
public Renderer getRenderer(VisualItem item) {
return item.isInGroup("ylab") ? yAxisRenderer :
item.isInGroup("xlab") ? xAxisRenderer :
barRenderer;
}
Anyhow, I have tried look on the possibility on creating clustered bar graphs where there are multiple bar for a single value but having difficulties. Also, the reason why I do not use JFreechart is because I need prefuse's filtering and searching functions which prove to be very useful in terms of analysis in my research.

MPAndroid : How to place the text inside the circle (without y-offset)

I am developing a small chart app to monitor the blood sugar with the MPAndroidChart library.
Is there a way to draw the text inside the circle without offset?
As suggested in another post, i put in a slight y-offset (different y-data for circle and text) and achieved a result which is ok.
But if there are only two values the text and circle do not align.
I am not that familiar with modifying the yAxis Renderer, do you know how to find the formula behind the offset for the labels? (would be great to just recalculate it..)
Similar problem: How to place the text values inside in MPAndroidChart circle?
With manual offset between text and circle y-data
Due to zooming in on y-axis (less data points and range on y-axis) the manuel offset is not working well here..
Otherwise awesome library PhilJay !!

EDIT: I have found a easy and sufficient solution:
Override the drawValues method from LineChartRenderer**
In LineChartRenderer.java -> drawValues the text is vertically shifted by this line:
drawValue(c, formatter.getPointLabel(entry), x, y - valOffset, dataSet.getValueTextColor(j / 2));
So to get rid of the "- valOffset":
1.Override the drawValues method
Create a new java file "CenteredTextLineChartRenderer.java" and override method drawValues from LineChartRenderer
2.Modify the y-valOffset to y+textHeight*0.35f
Add float textHeight = dataSet.getValueTextSize();
public class CenteredTextLineChartRenderer extends LineChartRenderer {
public CenteredTextLineChartRenderer(LineDataProvider chart, ChartAnimator animator, ViewPortHandler viewPortHandler) {
super(chart, animator, viewPortHandler);
}
//Modified drawValues Method
// Center label on coordinate instead of applying a valOffset
#Override
public void drawValues(Canvas c) {
if (isDrawingValuesAllowed(mChart)) {
List<ILineDataSet> dataSets = mChart.getLineData().getDataSets();
for (int i = 0; i < dataSets.size(); i++) {
ILineDataSet dataSet = dataSets.get(i);
float textHeight = dataSet.getValueTextSize();
if (!shouldDrawValues(dataSet) || dataSet.getEntryCount() < 1)
continue;
// apply the text-styling defined by the DataSet
applyValueTextStyle(dataSet);
Transformer trans = mChart.getTransformer(dataSet.getAxisDependency());
// make sure the values do not interfear with the circles
int valOffset = (int) (dataSet.getCircleRadius() * 1.75f);
if (!dataSet.isDrawCirclesEnabled())
valOffset = valOffset / 2;
mXBounds.set(mChart, dataSet);
float[] positions = trans.generateTransformedValuesLine(dataSet, mAnimator.getPhaseX(), mAnimator
.getPhaseY(), mXBounds.min, mXBounds.max);
ValueFormatter formatter = dataSet.getValueFormatter();
MPPointF iconsOffset = MPPointF.getInstance(dataSet.getIconsOffset());
iconsOffset.x = Utils.convertDpToPixel(iconsOffset.x);
iconsOffset.y = Utils.convertDpToPixel(iconsOffset.y);
for (int j = 0; j < positions.length; j += 2) {
float x = positions[j];
float y = positions[j + 1];
if (!mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsRight(x))
break;
if (!mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsLeft(x) || !mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsY(y))
continue;
Entry entry = dataSet.getEntryForIndex(j / 2 + mXBounds.min);
if (dataSet.isDrawValuesEnabled()) {
//drawValue(c, formatter.getPointLabel(entry), x, y - valOffset, dataSet.getValueTextColor(j / 2));
drawValue(c, formatter.getPointLabel(entry), x, y+textHeight*0.35f, dataSet.getValueTextColor(j / 2));
}
if (entry.getIcon() != null && dataSet.isDrawIconsEnabled()) {
Drawable icon = entry.getIcon();
Utils.drawImage(
c,
icon,
(int)(x + iconsOffset.x),
(int)(y + iconsOffset.y),
icon.getIntrinsicWidth(),
icon.getIntrinsicHeight());
}
}
MPPointF.recycleInstance(iconsOffset);
}
}
}
}
3.Set your own LineChart renderer to your modified drawValues class
LineChart mChart = (LineChart) mainActivity.findViewById(R.id.LineChart);
mChart.setRenderer(new CenteredTextLineChartRenderer(mChart,mChart.getAnimator(),mChart.getViewPortHandler()));
Run your code and manually adapt the 0.35f offset in your CenteredTextLineChartRenderer class
Now your text is always vertically centered!
IMPORTANT: With deleting the valOffset your label is not vertically centered as the text anchor is not in the center of your text label. So you have to insert a manual offset "textHeight*0.35f" (just try it out).

custom seekbar with multi color

I am trying to create custom seek bar in android with multicolor. I tried below code
customseekbar.java
int proBarWidth = getWidth();
int proBarHeight = getHeight();
int thumboffset = getThumbOffset();
int lastproX = 0;
int proItemWidth, proItemRight;
for (int i = 0; i < mproItemsList.size(); i++) {
proItem proItem = mproItemsList.get(i);
Paint proPaint = new Paint();
proPaint.setColor(getResources().getColor(proItem.color));
proItemWidth = (int) (proItem.proItemPercentage
* proBarWidth / 100);
proItemRight = lastproX + proItemWidth;
// for last item give right of the pro item to width of the
// pro bar
if (i == mproItemsList.size() - 1
&& proItemRight != proBarWidth) {
proItemRight = proBarWidth;
}
Rect proRect = new Rect();
proRect.set(lastproX, thumboffset / 2, proItemRight,
proBarHeight - thumboffset / 2);
canvas.drawRect(proRect, proPaint);
lastproX = proItemRight;
}
super.onDraw(canvas);
view
<mypackage.customseekbar
android:id="#+id/customseekbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:max="100"
android:progress="0"
android:progressDrawable="#android:color/transparent"
android:thumb="#drawable/seek_thumb_normal"
android:thumbOffset="12dp" />
I used this method in MainMenuActivity. It gives me result something like below. I referred this link https://azzits.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/customseekbar/
But I am expecting something like below
Is there any way to draw this vertical gapped lines? How can I draw this vertical lines?

Progress bar with divider is a good place to look as mentioned by #Nilesh Rathod. Rather than using canvas.drawRect() you can use canvas.drawRoundRect(); Short example:
for (int i = 0; i < NUM_SEGMENTS; i++) {
float loLevel = i / (float) NUM_SEGMENTS;
float hiLevel = (i + 1) / (float) NUM_SEGMENTS;
if (loLevel <= level && level <= hiLevel) {
float middle = mSegment.left + NUM_SEGMENTS * segmentWidth * (level - loLevel);
canvas.drawRoundRect(mSegment.left, mSegment.top, middle, mSegment.bottom, mPaint);
mPaint.setColor(mBackground);
canvas.drawRoundRect(middle, mSegment.top, mSegment.right, mSegment.bottom, mPaint);
} else {
canvas.drawRoundRect(mSegment, mPaint);
}
mSegment.offset(mSegment.width() + gapWidth, 0);
}
I give full credit to the code above to the creator of the aforementioned link and don't claim any of it as mine as I am just illustrating the change that should be made to reach the desired effect. Please let me know if you run into further issues.

How to determine remaining space on a pdf page with itext [duplicate]

I have a pdf file where-in I am adding a stamp to all it's pages.
But, the problem is, the stamp is added to the upper-left corner of each page. If, the page has text in that part, the stamp appears on the text.
My question is, is there any method by which I can read each page and if there is no text in that part add the stamp else search for nearest available free space, just like what a density scanner does?
I am using IText and Java 1.7.
The free space fider class and the distance calculation function are the same that is there in the accepted answer.
Following is the edited code I am using:
// The resulting PDF file
String RESULT = "K:\\DCIN_TER\\DCIN_EPU2\\CIRCUIT FROM BRANCH\\RAINBOW ORDERS\\" + jtfSONo.getText().trim() + "\\PADR Release\\Final PADR Release 1.pdf";

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("K:\\DCIN_TER\\DCIN_EPU2\\CIRCUIT FROM BRANCH\\RAINBOW ORDERS\\" + jtfSONo.getText().trim() + "\\PADR Release\\Final PADR Release.pdf");
// Create a stamper

// Loop over the pages and add a footer to each page
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)

is there any method by which I can read each page and if there is no text in that part add the stamp else search for nearest available free space, just like what a density scanner does?
iText does not offer that functionality out of the box. Depending of what kind of content you want to evade, though, you might consider either rendering the page to an image and looking for white spots in the image or doing text extraction with a strategy that tries to find locations without text.
The first alternative, analyzing a rendered version of the page, would be the focus of a separate question as an image processing library would have to be chosen first.
There are a number of situations, though, in which that first alternative is not the best way to go. E.g. if you only want to evade text but not necessarily graphics (like watermarks), or if you also want to evade invisible text (which usually can be marked in a PDF viewer and, therefore, interfere with your addition).
The second alternative (using text and image extraction abilities of iText) can be the more appropriate approach in such situations.
Here a sample RenderListener for such a task:
public class FreeSpaceFinder implements RenderListener
{
//
// constructors
//
public FreeSpaceFinder(Rectangle2D initialBox, float minWidth, float minHeight)
{
this(Collections.singleton(initialBox), minWidth, minHeight);
}
public FreeSpaceFinder(Collection<Rectangle2D> initialBoxes, float minWidth, float minHeight)
{
this.minWidth = minWidth;
this.minHeight = minHeight;
freeSpaces = initialBoxes;
}
//
// RenderListener implementation
//
#Override
public void renderText(TextRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
Rectangle2D usedSpace = renderInfo.getAscentLine().getBoundingRectange();
usedSpace.add(renderInfo.getDescentLine().getBoundingRectange());
remove(usedSpace);
}
#Override
public void renderImage(ImageRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
Matrix imageMatrix = renderInfo.getImageCTM();
Vector image00 = rect00.cross(imageMatrix);
Vector image01 = rect01.cross(imageMatrix);
Vector image10 = rect10.cross(imageMatrix);
Vector image11 = rect11.cross(imageMatrix);
Rectangle2D usedSpace = new Rectangle2D.Float(image00.get(Vector.I1), image00.get(Vector.I2), 0, 0);
usedSpace.add(image01.get(Vector.I1), image01.get(Vector.I2));
usedSpace.add(image10.get(Vector.I1), image10.get(Vector.I2));
usedSpace.add(image11.get(Vector.I1), image11.get(Vector.I2));
remove(usedSpace);
}
#Override
public void beginTextBlock() { }
#Override
public void endTextBlock() { }
//
// helpers
//
void remove(Rectangle2D usedSpace)
{
final double minX = usedSpace.getMinX();
final double maxX = usedSpace.getMaxX();
final double minY = usedSpace.getMinY();
final double maxY = usedSpace.getMaxY();
final Collection<Rectangle2D> newFreeSpaces = new ArrayList<Rectangle2D>();
for (Rectangle2D freeSpace: freeSpaces)
{
final Collection<Rectangle2D> newFragments = new ArrayList<Rectangle2D>();
if (freeSpace.intersectsLine(minX, minY, maxX, minY))
newFragments.add(new Rectangle2D.Double(freeSpace.getMinX(), freeSpace.getMinY(), freeSpace.getWidth(), minY-freeSpace.getMinY()));
if (freeSpace.intersectsLine(minX, maxY, maxX, maxY))
newFragments.add(new Rectangle2D.Double(freeSpace.getMinX(), maxY, freeSpace.getWidth(), freeSpace.getMaxY() - maxY));
if (freeSpace.intersectsLine(minX, minY, minX, maxY))
newFragments.add(new Rectangle2D.Double(freeSpace.getMinX(), freeSpace.getMinY(), minX - freeSpace.getMinX(), freeSpace.getHeight()));
if (freeSpace.intersectsLine(maxX, minY, maxX, maxY))
newFragments.add(new Rectangle2D.Double(maxX, freeSpace.getMinY(), freeSpace.getMaxX() - maxX, freeSpace.getHeight()));
if (newFragments.isEmpty())
{
add(newFreeSpaces, freeSpace);
}
else
{
for (Rectangle2D fragment: newFragments)
{
if (fragment.getHeight() >= minHeight && fragment.getWidth() >= minWidth)
{
add(newFreeSpaces, fragment);
}
}
}
}
freeSpaces = newFreeSpaces;
}
void add(Collection<Rectangle2D> rectangles, Rectangle2D addition)
{
final Collection<Rectangle2D> toRemove = new ArrayList<Rectangle2D>();
boolean isContained = false;
for (Rectangle2D rectangle: rectangles)
{
if (rectangle.contains(addition))
{
isContained = true;
break;
}
if (addition.contains(rectangle))
toRemove.add(rectangle);
}
rectangles.removeAll(toRemove);
if (!isContained)
rectangles.add(addition);
}
//
// members
//
public Collection<Rectangle2D> freeSpaces = null;
final float minWidth;
final float minHeight;
final static Vector rect00 = new Vector(0, 0, 1);
final static Vector rect01 = new Vector(0, 1, 1);
final static Vector rect10 = new Vector(1, 0, 1);
final static Vector rect11 = new Vector(1, 1, 1);
}
Using this FreeSpaceFinder you can find empty areas with given minimum dimensions in a method like this:
public Collection<Rectangle2D> find(PdfReader reader, float minWidth, float minHeight, int page) throws IOException
{
Rectangle cropBox = reader.getCropBox(page);
Rectangle2D crop = new Rectangle2D.Float(cropBox.getLeft(), cropBox.getBottom(), cropBox.getWidth(), cropBox.getHeight());
FreeSpaceFinder finder = new FreeSpaceFinder(crop, minWidth, minHeight);
PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(reader);
parser.processContent(page, finder);
return finder.freeSpaces;
}
For your task you now have to choose from the returned rectangles the one which suits you best.
Beware, this code still may have to be tuned to your requirements:
It ignores clip paths, rendering modes, colors, and covering objects. Thus, it considers all text and all bitmap images, whether they are actually visible or not.
It does not consider vector graphics (because the iText parser package does not consider them).
It is not very optimized.
Applied to this PDF page:
with minimum width 200 and height 50, you get these rectangles:
x y w h
000,000 000,000 595,000 056,423
000,000 074,423 595,000 168,681
000,000 267,304 314,508 088,751
000,000 503,933 351,932 068,665
164,296 583,598 430,704 082,800
220,803 583,598 374,197 096,474
220,803 583,598 234,197 107,825
000,000 700,423 455,000 102,396
000,000 700,423 267,632 141,577
361,348 782,372 233,652 059,628
or, more visually, here as rectangles on the page:
The paper plane is a vector graphic and, therefore, ignored.
Of course you could also change the PDF rendering code to not draw stuff you want to ignore and to visibly draw originally invisible stuff which you want to ignore, and then use bitmap image analysis nonetheless...
EDIT
In his comments the OP asked how to find the rectangle in the rectangle collection returned by find which is nearest to a given point.
First of all there not necessarily is the nearest rectangle, there may be multiple.
That been said, one can choose a nearest rectangle as follows:
First one needs to calculate a distance between point and rectangle, e.g.:
double distance(Rectangle2D rectangle, Point2D point)
{
double x = point.getX();
double y = point.getY();
double left = rectangle.getMinX();
double right = rectangle.getMaxX();
double top = rectangle.getMaxY();
double bottom = rectangle.getMinY();
if (x < left) // point left of rect
{
if (y < bottom) // and below
return Point2D.distance(x, y, left, bottom);
if (y > top) // and top
return Point2D.distance(x, y, left, top);
return left - x;
}
if (x > right) // point right of rect
{
if (y < bottom) // and below
return Point2D.distance(x, y, right, bottom);
if (y > top) // and top
return Point2D.distance(x, y, right, top);
return x - right;
}
if (y < bottom) // and below
return bottom - y;
if (y > top) // and top
return y - top;
return 0;
}
Using this distance measurement one can select a nearest rectangle using code like this for a Collection<Rectangle2D> rectangles and a Point2D point:
Rectangle2D best = null;
double bestDist = Double.MAX_VALUE;
for (Rectangle2D rectangle: rectangles)
{
double distance = distance(rectangle, point);
if (distance < bestDist)
{
best = rectangle;
bestDist = distance;
}
}
After this best contains a best rectangle.
For the sample document used above, this method returns the colored rectangles for the page corners and left and right centers:
EDIT TWO
Since iText 5.5.6, the RenderListener interface has been extended as ExtRenderListener to also be signaled about Path construction and path drawing operations. Thus, the FreeSpaceFinder above could also be extended to handle paths:
//
// Additional ExtRenderListener methods
//
#Override
public void modifyPath(PathConstructionRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
List<Vector> points = new ArrayList<Vector>();
if (renderInfo.getOperation() == PathConstructionRenderInfo.RECT)
{
float x = renderInfo.getSegmentData().get(0);
float y = renderInfo.getSegmentData().get(1);
float w = renderInfo.getSegmentData().get(2);
float h = renderInfo.getSegmentData().get(3);
points.add(new Vector(x, y, 1));
points.add(new Vector(x+w, y, 1));
points.add(new Vector(x, y+h, 1));
points.add(new Vector(x+w, y+h, 1));
}
else if (renderInfo.getSegmentData() != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < renderInfo.getSegmentData().size()-1; i+=2)
{
points.add(new Vector(renderInfo.getSegmentData().get(i), renderInfo.getSegmentData().get(i+1), 1));
}
}
for (Vector point: points)
{
point = point.cross(renderInfo.getCtm());
Rectangle2D.Float pointRectangle = new Rectangle2D.Float(point.get(Vector.I1), point.get(Vector.I2), 0, 0);
if (currentPathRectangle == null)
currentPathRectangle = pointRectangle;
else
currentPathRectangle.add(pointRectangle);
}
}
#Override
public Path renderPath(PathPaintingRenderInfo renderInfo)
{
if (renderInfo.getOperation() != PathPaintingRenderInfo.NO_OP)
remove(currentPathRectangle);
currentPathRectangle = null;
return null;
}
#Override
public void clipPath(int rule)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
Rectangle2D.Float currentPathRectangle = null;
(FreeSpaceFinderExt.java)
Using this class the result above is improved to
As you see the paper plane and the table background colorations now also are taken into account.

My other answer focuses on the original question, i.e. how to find free space with given minimum dimensions on a page.
Since that answer had been written, the OP provided code trying to make use of that original answer.
This answer deals with that code.
The code has a number of shortcoming.
The choice of free space on a page depends on the number of pages in the document.
The reason for this is to be found at the start of the loop over the pages:
for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
Collection<Rectangle2D> rectangles = find(reader, 300, 100, n, stamper);
...
The OP surely meant i, not n there. The code as is always looks for free space on the last document page.
The rectangles are lower than they should be.
The reason for this is to be found in the retrieval and use of the rectangle coordinates:
x = (float) best.getX();
y = (float) best.getY();
...
getFooterTable(i, n).writeSelectedRows(0, -1, x, y, stamper.getOverContent(i));
The Rectangle2D methods getX and getY return the coordinates of the lower left rectangle corner; the PdfPTable methods writeSelectedRows, on the other hand, require the upper left rectangle corner. Thus, getMaxY should be used instead of getY.

Swing drawing sometimes works

I'm trying to draw functions using Java Swing and AWT. The problem is not always all of the 300 points of the graph are drawn. When I loop over the first points of the graph in debug mode, there is much more change the graph is drawn completely. I use the following code to create a JFrame and set the graphics object to the class member g.
jFrame = new JFrame();
jFrame.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
jFrame.setVisible(true);
g = jFrame.getContentPane().getGraphics();
Then I call this method for every function I want to draw.
private void drawGraph(IGraph graph, Bounds bounds, Ratios ratios) {
//contains visual information about the graph
GraphVisuals visuals = graph.getVisuals();
g.setColor(visuals.color);
//the previous point is remembered, to be able to draw a line from one point to the next
int previousXi = 0;
int previousYi = 0;
//a loop over every point of the graph. The graph object contains two arrays: the x values and the y values
for (int i = 0; i < graph.getSize(); ++i) {
//calculate the x value using the ratio between the graph's size on the x-axis and the window size and the starting point on the x-axis
int xi = (int) (ratios.xRatio * (graph.getX(i) - bounds.xMin) + 0.5);
//analogous for the y axis
int yi = HEIGHT - (int) (ratios.yRatio * (graph.getY(i) - bounds.yMin) + 0.5);
//draw

How to change location that sprite Randomly appears in Scene?

I am using this method with AndEngine to add a sprite to the screen and make it move across the screen.
private void addFace() {
Random rand = new Random();
float x = (int) mCamera.getHeight() - mBallTextureRegion.getHeight();
float minY = mBallTextureRegion.getHeight();
float maxY = (int)(mCamera.getWidth() + mBallTextureRegion.getWidth());
float rangeY = maxY - minY;
float y = rand.nextInt((int)rangeY) + minY;
this.mFaceCount++;
Log.e("Faces: ", "Face" + this.mFaceCount);
Sprite face = null;
Body body = null;
face = new Sprite(x, y, this.mBallTextureRegion.clone());
body = PhysicsFactory.createBoxBody(this.mPhysicsWorld, face, BodyType.DynamicBody, FIXTURE_DEF);
this.mScene.attachChild(face);
this.mPhysicsWorld.registerPhysicsConnector(new PhysicsConnector(face, body, true, true));
int minDuration = 2;
int maxDuration = 4;
int rangeDuration = maxDuration - minDuration;
int actualDuration = rand.nextInt(rangeDuration) + minDuration;
MoveXModifier mod = new MoveXModifier(actualDuration, face.getX(), - face.getWidth());
face.registerEntityModifier(mod);
}
What i would like to do is, instead of the Random position being selected and the sprite being added to the left side of the Scene, i would like for it to be added to the Top and fall down.
I basically want to flip the direction,
I just cant figure out how. Everything i tried was no luck.
Any ideas or suggestions?

While I don't know much about Andengine, I suspect you would want to change these lines:
float x = (int) mCamera.getHeight() - mBallTextureRegion.getHeight();
float y = rand.nextInt((int)rangeY) + minY;
MoveXModifier mod = new MoveXModifier(actualDuration, face.getX(), - face.getWidth());
Flip the x and y statements, but set y to -mBallTextureRegion.getHeight() if you want it to appear outside the screen.
For the MoveXModifier, I would guess there is a corresponding MoveYModifier (use face.getY() and -face.getHeight() respectively)
