RE: Adding a border to text using CFImage
Leigh, I removed the 2 lines and pasted in the example lines with a semi colon at the end. The result is a solid image, but no stroke. Here's what I added: // color in the text Color = createObject(java, java.awt.Color); graphics.setColor( Color.decode(##80aa1c) ); graphics.fill( shape ); // create a thin border stroke = createObject(java, java.awt.BasicStroke).init( 1 ); graphics.setStroke( stroke ); graphics.setColor( Color.decode(##800080) ); graphics; Can you see anything wrong?

Gerald,
I cannot believe all the things this cfc is supposed to do, but it keeps
throwing errors about missing arguments and I can't find anything wrong.

I sure hope someone else has better success as this is a cool tool if it
works.

All: A bit off-topic as it's not strictly a CF question but I hope you'll forgive me... I have some content that is dynamically generated by CF (the on-topic part) that essentially groups items by category.

RE: Chrome Display Issue
Paul: Thanks for the quick reply. I had actually tried using z-indexes to change the depth of the elements but that didn't work. However, after reading your reply, I went back to the CSS and realized that while the moreLessTab div is set as a float, I never specifically defined its positioning. Once I added in position: relative;, the link works as expected in all browsers.

RE: Adding a border to text using CFImage
Well when I play with the numbers in the code it seems if I raise the init setting it widens the stroke/border, but the thickness seems to go inwards instead of outwards from the outside edge of the text. Is that a better explanation? His code is awesome, I just would like to know how to size things and understand it better as I am no java programmer, just a half-assed Coldfusion scripter that enjoys the heck out of this stuff.

Re: Adding a border to text using CFImage
Is that a better explanation? Yep. If you think about how the border effect is created, the behavior makes sense. Basically you are working with a glyph, or a shape of the text. Stroking affects how that shape is filled. It does not change the shape itself. So the thickness has to move inward (so to speak). I am no artist. But I think the effect you are looking for is often achieved by overlaying a smaller shape over a slightly larger one. Similar to creating a shadow effect. It should be possible to apply the same concept to text. But I would have to look around to see if that is the right way to approach it. Btw: It goes without saying if there is an existing library that supports text borders, by all means use it ;-) No reason to reinvent the wheel. But it is fun talking about how all this stuff works internally ;-) -Lei ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349978 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Nothing jumped out at me from a brief look at the documentation. -Leigh ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349980 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
emailing a cfchart?
Is it possible to have cfchart code (format=png or jpg) within a cfmail tag and have the graphic actually show up in the email? I can't seem to manage it...

Re: Adding a border to text using CFImage
I just sent a request asking if his wordart.cfc is still active and open source. Great. I would be curious if there are any updates. BTW: Did you try using the non-cfwheels syntax ie wordArt.getArt()? Because that worked fine for me. -Lei ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349982 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFScript Book
Hi Cameron. I know CF very well. I been coding in it for many years. But, I admit, I am a little tagged out. Cfscript feels more elegant, and as I learn more and more javascript, it seems a natural time to try to get completely up to speed on cfscript. I do wish Adobe would fill out CF so that one could write mostly in cfscript and avoid cf tags altogether, if desired. It would also help when I end up around small-minded coders who scoff at CF merely because of the tags. Yes, I have answers for those types, like how I can produce the same apps they can, but in 1/3 the time, or how Adobe puts a lot of development into the language, which gets us big upgrades every few years -- or how we can get a live body on the phone when we need one. But still, I really want to be a cfscripter, and I am looking for a path to make that happen. There must be at least a few chapters in some book out there somewhere, no? Pete, thank you very much for the cheat sheet. That will come in handy. -RR On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 12:25 PM, Cameron Childress camer...@gmail.comwrote: On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Robert Rhodes rrhode...@gmail.com wrote: Are there any CFScript books out there?

The CFML language has so many tags and many ways of doing things. Learning only CFScript may not serve you well. Attempting to use all tags or all script is probably not the best goal IMHO. Having said that, the Adobe docs are a good starting point for learning CFScript, but if you want more than that I'd look at a regular ole CF Book like CFWACK, and then look for a CFScript equivalent for what you're doing if you really need/want one. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf | twitterhttp://twitter.com/cameronc | google+ https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349983 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: emailing a cfchart?
Is it possible to have cfchart code (format=png or jpg) within a cfmail tag and have the graphic actually show up in the email? I can't seem to manage it... Not directly, by default, because what CFCHART generates is a time-limited URL to a servlet that produces the image, rather than an actual image file. You can use the NAME attribute of CFCHART to generate a CF variable that contains the image, store that to a file, then serve that instead.

Re: emailing a cfchart?
Dave, I haven't had a chance to check this, but does CF10 no longer provide the ability to generate static images for charts? It looks like everything is canvas or Flash-based, which is going to be problematic for emailing or using in a PDF--both of which I use. Any idea? -Dan On Monday, February 20, 2012, Dave Watts wrote: Is it possible to have cfchart code (format=png or jpg) within a cfmail tag and have the graphic actually show up in the email?

RE: Adding a border to text using CFImage
Leigh, All I did was to run the index as is. I do not know where to change the syntax which is probably why I am getting errors.
