CFImage at 300dpi

2011-02-03 Thread Terry Troxel

Is it possible using CFIMAGE to create images in 300dpi format for print
quality reasons?

I also have CFX_IMAGECR3 and CFX_IMAGEFLARE but their support doesn't reply
lately even
though their products are excellent.

Date format in HTML cfgrid

2011-02-03 Thread Steve Sequenzia

I am trying to format dates in an HTML cfgrid. I cannot seem to make it work in 
CF when using HTML as the grid type. I have also tried doing it in MSSQL by 
using - CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), startDate, 101) AS startDate.

When I do that it shows up right in the grid but the grid will not sort on the 
date properly.

Anyone know of a way to make it show up in the grid in a mm/dd/ format and 
also sort on the date properly?

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Re: CFImage at 300dpi

2011-02-03 Thread Claude Schnéegans

 Is it possible using CFIMAGE to create images in 300dpi format for print
quality reasons?

If it is for print quality reason, you need only be concerned with the total 
number of pixels.
1. you may very well have an image defined at 300 dpi, but if it is only 300 
px wide, you will only get a one inch good quality printed image.
2. the resolution at which the user will print the image is his final decision 
anyway.
3. I know that the concept of so called dots per inch is embedded in image 
files, I don't know who the idea comes from, but it just does not make any 
sense : I agree that a virtual image does have dots, but where actually are the 
inches to make dot/inch?

I other words, you may have a 75 dpi image printed at a very good quality if 
it is actually 4000 pix wide,
and a very poor 4000 dpi printed image if it is only 75 pix wide.

ColdFusion Builder: Plug-In vs. Standalone

2011-02-03 Thread Donnie Carvajal

I am getting a new machine and we are installing all of the software.  I am 
running Builder as a plug-in now and it is very flaky and a lot of features 
don't work (i.e. tag completion, code coloring is sporadic, etc.).

Would you suggest I do this new install standalone?

RE: CFImage at 300dpi

2011-02-03 Thread Rick Faircloth

I understand the concerns you have, Claude, but
I would imagine that the concern is over how to
have a print-ready image available online.

Yes, the end user can change the dpi before printing,
as well as the dimensions of the image, but, when dealing
with print shops for advertising, I've always had to send
print-ready, 300dpi images (if using .jpg files) if I didn't
want the printer to make adjustments to the file to change
print dimensions or dpi.

It seems the same would be true if I were putting an image
formatted for high-quality printing (300dpi) online for
download and printing without making dimension or resolution adjustments.

I haven't put anything online before to meet this requirement,
but it seems as if delivering the file by email as an attachment
or delivering as a download would be the same.

Thoughts?

Rick

I had troubles installing the stand alone after trial ran out, so I tried
adding it to my existing eclipse as a plug-in and was having the same
issues. I instead uninstalled coldfusion builder plugin,  downloaded a fresh
new copy of eclipse and then reinstalled the builder plug-in.

It's been 100% less buggy now. Still a bit odd at times but none of the
issues I was having previously.

Watermarking images

2011-02-03 Thread wabba

Anyone have a good tool for watermarking images either as they are displayed
to the client, or on the backside as they are uploaded? Working on a parts
database of 30k+ items and the part images are updated frequently. We
regularly receive images discs or flash drives from manufacturers which we
then just dump over the top of the old images, so doing the watermarking on
the fly ensures it's always displayed without having to do the entire thing
over.

RE: CFImage at 300dpi

2011-02-03 Thread Rick Faircloth

I checked out a conversation about this from 2009
and it was mentioned that the dpi was not inherent in
the image, but rather a function of an image's metadata.

That seems correct to me, but then the question would be,
Can we manipulate an image's metadata with cfimage?

Re: Watermarking images

2011-02-03 Thread Michael Grant

It's probably going to add a few seconds per request. Ideally you wouldn't
be adding watermark at runtime. If it were me I'd batch process the img
files and put them in a folder specifically for watermarked versions. That
way you aren't running the watermark every single time an image is
requested. You only watermark once per image.

RE: Watermarking images

2011-02-03 Thread Bobby Hartsfield

This can easily be done with cfimage. I just wanted to offer my experience
with doing it on the fly.

If you hit my site, in my signature, you will see a watermarked mast head
image. If you refresh, you will get another.

My super cool plan was to have the watermark added on each request. It
worked quickly enough that it was no problem at all... however, the image
had some very strange caching issues on the browser side... I tried
everything I could think of to get around it but eventually ended up
watermarking the images and saving the watermarked file for display.

When a new image is added to a directory, I can click a button to loop oever
them, watermark them and move them to the directory that they will be
displayed from.

Ray Camden offered a good idea for a gateway that would watch the diectory
and handle the watermakrs without any interaction... 

But my suggestion is to, somehow, watermark the images permanently and use
those for display. You can always keep an original copy and watermark them
again later (if your watermark changes or something). But the headaches of
doing it on the fly became too much to worry with and I ended up saving
watermarked versions instead.

You can see some code and more detail here:
http://acoderslife.com/index.cfm/blog/Mast-head-image-bug

The code there is what I was using to watermark on the fly.

1. you may very well have an image defined at 300 dpi, but if it is only
300 px wide, you will only get a one inch good quality printed image.
2. the resolution at which the user will print the image is his final
decision anyway.
3. I know that the concept of so called dots per inch is embedded in image
files, I don't know who the idea comes from, but it just does not make any
sense : I agree that a virtual image does have dots, but where actually are
the inches to make dot/inch?

I other words, you may have a 75 dpi image printed at a very good quality
if it is actually 4000 pix wide,
and a very poor 4000 dpi printed image if it is only 75 pix wide.

Why not create a PDF form formatted exactly as you need, and then use CF to

I understand the concerns you have, Claude, but
I would imagine that the concern is over how to
have a print-ready image available online.

Yes, the end user can change the dpi before printing,
as well as the dimensions of the image, but, when dealing
with print shops for advertising, I've always had to send
print-ready, 300dpi images (if using .jpg files) if I didn't
want the printer to make adjustments to the file to change
print dimensions or dpi.

It seems the same would be true if I were putting an image
formatted for high-quality printing (300dpi) online for
download and printing without making dimension or resolution adjustments.

I haven't put anything online before to meet this requirement,
but it seems as if delivering the file by email as an attachment
or delivering as a download would be the same.

RE: CFImage at 300dpi

2011-02-03 Thread Rick Faircloth

Ben,

It's my understanding that while PDF's don't have a dpi,
the embedded images do. If that's true, what's the
default resolution for the images and how can that be
adjusted at runtime?

Also, I noticed on the CF Docs...

http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_p-q_0
2.html

...that there is an option (under the Generate thumbnails... section),
for setting resolution at high or low.  Any idea what high and low
means in terms of dpi?

It seems that the entire image Terry is wanting to create could be saved
using the resolution setting if the resolution at high is sufficient
for printing at high quality.

Terry,

In case you do have to use the PDF format for initial
image creation, you might need to use a third-party
application and create a batch file to run it to process
your images.

I found a couple that might be used this way (haven't
tried these myself) at this URL:

http://en.kioskea.net/faq/187-converting-your-pdf-file-into-an-image

Let us know if you get something working.
I'd be interested in your solution!

CFTHREAD inside a CFC Method, question about arguments

2011-02-03 Thread Brook Davies

Hello,

 

I have a quick question about using CFthread inside a CFC. Inside my CFC I
was to call another CFC method and pass it some of the arguments. Is the
correct way to do this below. Do I need to pass in each argument scoped
variable from the calling method and then refer to it in the attributes
scope? This DOES work, but is it the best/correct way of doing it?

 

cfthread 

name  = storeMetaData 

action= run

usr_id= #arguments.usrObj.usr_id# 

metaData  = #propogateData#

  

  cfinvoke component = #application.multiUser.activeMeta# 

  method  = recordMetaData

  usr_id  = #attributes.usr_id# 

  metaData= #serializeJSON(attributes.metaData)#

  

/cfthread

 

 

Brook D.

 Would you suggest I do this new install standalone?

I suspect you'll get a bunch of different answers here...

I always run Builder as a standalone install because I tend to have
multiple Eclipse installations, all configured differently for
different projects (Java, Groovy, JBoss, whatever). That way it's
easier to rebuild a single install if it gets corrupted, rather than
having a single install with everything in it. My only caveat is that
Builder standalone is not a full Eclipse install so certain plugins
won't work because they depend on features present in Eclipse but not
present in Builder (the Scala plugin was the one that caught me out).
YMMV.

As for stability, I've found Builder standalone to be really solid
(and I have it open 24x7).

Re: CFImage at 300dpi

2011-02-03 Thread Claude Schnéegans

 Dpi effectively changes the size an image will print at, relative to its 
 pixel density.

More accurately : dpi is a suggested default setting for the printer that would 
eventually print the image so that the image will be printed at the size 
specified in the file.
But first, ANY printer will know and be able to set itself its resolution in 
order to print an image at a specified size.
Second, it is not the task of the image creator to decide a priori which size 
the image should be printed. It is the user's choice.

There are actually 3 things embedded inside a jpeg image:
1. size in inches,
2. size in pixels,
3. pixels / inch
Every database manager will tell you that there is a data redundancy here and 
when there is a data redundancy, there is a risk od some contradiction 
somewhere.
If you need to specify the size the image should be printed, only the size in 
pixels and the size in inches should be necessary.
I know this is a standard, but this standard has been designed by morons.

a printer.  Of course, any end user can change
the dpi, ppi, inches, etc., but in Terry's

Math weirdness

2011-02-03 Thread Jen McVicker

OK, a coworker sent this over to me and I am puzzled:

 

cfset number1 = evaluate(12.5 * 1.1)

cfset number2 = 12.5 * 1.1

cfset number3 = 13.75

cfset testEval = number3 - number1

cfset testNoEval = number3 - number2

 

cfoutput

number1 (12.5 * 1.1): strong#number1#/strongbr

number2 (#number2#): strong#number2#/strongbr

number3 (#number3#): strong#number3#/strongbr

#number3# - #number1#: strong#testEval#/strongBR

#number3# - #number2#: strong#testNoEval#/strongBR

cfif number3 eq number1Number3 equals number1BR

cfelseNumber3 does NOT equal number1BR/cfif

cfif number3 eq number2Number3 equals number2BR

cfelseNumber3 does NOT equal number2BR/cfif

/cfoutput

 

Results in:


number1 (evaluate(12.5 * 1.1)): 13.75
number2 (12.5 * 1.1): 13.75
number3 (13.75): 13.75
13.75 - 13.75: 0
13.75 - 13.75: -1.7763568394E-015
Number3 equals number1
Number3 does NOT equal number2

 

Obviously number2 is set to a reference of the expression rather than the
actual value that is returned.  But since the variable outputs as 13.75, why
does it make a difference?  Can someone explain it to me in small words so
that I will understand?  ;-)

I agree I cannot find dpi either in CFIMAGE, but what about PIXEL SIZE, it
is listed in IMAGEINFO.
Is that related in any way?
I am going to dig into Adobe acrobat and all of the CFPDF tags as Ben Forta
suggested. From reading between the lines
In the replies I could be wrong but this just might be something we all
could benefit from as we all work mainly with
Screen, browser output and there is a whole world out there for print media
and 72 dpi doesn't cut it, and making
Online applications for print media is a real big challenge.

You're right. If CFimage does not do it, I have no solution.

Subject: Math weirdness

OK, a coworker sent this over to me and I am puzzled:

cfset number1 = evaluate(12.5 * 1.1)

cfset number2 = 12.5 * 1.1

cfset number3 = 13.75

cfset testEval = number3 - number1

cfset testNoEval = number3 - number2

cfoutput

number1 (12.5 * 1.1): strong#number1#/strongbr

number2 (#number2#): strong#number2#/strongbr

number3 (#number3#): strong#number3#/strongbr

#number3# - #number1#: strong#testEval#/strongBR

#number3# - #number2#: strong#testNoEval#/strongBR

cfif number3 eq number1Number3 equals number1BR

cfelseNumber3 does NOT equal number1BR/cfif

cfif number3 eq number2Number3 equals number2BR

cfelseNumber3 does NOT equal number2BR/cfif

/cfoutput

Results in:

number1 (evaluate(12.5 * 1.1)): 13.75
number2 (12.5 * 1.1): 13.75
number3 (13.75): 13.75
13.75 - 13.75: 0
13.75 - 13.75: -1.7763568394E-015
Number3 equals number1
Number3 does NOT equal number2

Obviously number2 is set to a reference of the expression rather than the
actual value that is returned.  But since the variable outputs as 13.75, 
why
does it make a difference?  Can someone explain it to me in small words so
that I will understand?  ;-)

Computers do not understand decimal (base 10) numbers.  They only truly 
understand binary (base 2) numbers.  Sometimes when converting back and 
forth between the base 10 numbers we humans like to use and the base 2 
numbers that computers have to use, small differences in rounding occur.

99.9% of the time, the computer systems handle these and we humans can 
ignore the base 2 nature of computers.  But sometimes we really must be 
computer programmers and understand the real world of binary computers.

Re: Math weirdness

2011-02-03 Thread rex

These are the pitfalls of a dynamically typed language, and FLOAT/INT 
conversions.

Your number1 is a string, number2 is a Double, and your number 3 is a 
string:

cfoutput
number3 is #number3.getClass().getName()#br /
number2 is #number2.getClass().getName()#br /
number1 is #number1.getClass().getName()#br /
/cfoutput

If you do val() they will equal out:

cfif val(number3) eq val(number2)Number3 equals number2BR
cfelseNumber3 does NOT equal number2BR/cfif

 From http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html#680, the 
result of a floating-point calculation must often be rounded in order to 
fit back into its finite representation. This rounding error is the 
characteristic feature of floating-point computation.

Checkout this code:

cfoutput
 #(0.1 * 0.1) EQ 0.01# !--- not equal! ---
 #0.1 * 0.1# !--- 0.1 multiplied by 0.1 is actually 0.01, so 
why aren't they equal? ---
 #javacast(bigDecimal, 0.1 * 0.1)# !--- results in 
0.010002 ---
/cfoutput

If you need strict computation, stick to Doubles or bigDecimals all the 
time, and don't rely on implicit conversions.

Also this is not a CF thing or a Java thing, other languages plague this 
too i.e Python (for division, 3/4 is different from 3.0/4.0) and .NET 
(http://stefanoricciardi.com/2010/03/02/comparing-floating-point-numbers/), 
and PHP 
(http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/01/06/1820208/PHP-Floating-Point-Bug-Crashes-Servers
 
http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/01/06/1820208/PHP-Floating-Point-Bug-Crashes-Servers?from=rss
 
or just start typing in google instant, php floating... and you'll see 
all the suggestions hehe)

Re: Math weirdness

2011-02-03 Thread Mike Chabot

Jen,
This quirk is due to the difference between exact integer math and
approximate floating point math. Some imprecision is introduced when CF
converts the decimal number that you see to a binary floating point number
that the computer performs the math function on. Some decimal numbers cannot
be exactly represented by binary floating point numbers, so floating point
math often has unexpected results. If you find this idea confusing, think of
the more familiar base-10 number of 1/3. It looks exact in that
representation, but presented another way that number is actually
0.33...(repeating). Infinitely repeating numbers also exist when
using base-2 binary instead of base-10, but with a different set of
fractions that cannot be represented without a loss of precision, such as
0.1. Computers cannot handle infinitely repeating numbers, so some rounding
and loss of precision occurs. You should never see the precision problem
with common integer math like incrementing loop counters.

This floating point precision behavior impacts most programming languages,
not just ColdFusion and Java. In strongly-typed platforms, such as .NET and
SQL Server, you can tell the complier that a number is a decimal and that
you want math performed on that number to be precise fixed-point math, not
imprecise floating point math. I'm not sure of any good way to pull this off
in ColdFusion. Possibly something with the javacast function would work, but
that would be messy code. I just use a rounding function.

The question of why does ColdFusion use imprecise floating point math
instead of exact fixed-point math is one I don't have the answer to without
researching it.

It is annoying to have pass all math involving decimals through a rounding
function, and it is easy to forget to do this. Does anyone know of a good
way to fix this problem on a site-wide basis?

It would be nice if ColdFusion was smart enough to know that addition and
subtraction involving base-10 numbers with only one decimal point cannot
result in a number with greater than one decimal point of precision.

#3.2 - 3.2 + 8 - 8# = 0
#3.2 + 8 - 3.2 - 8# = -8.881784197E-016
#0.6/0.2# = 3
#0.6/0.2 - 3# = -4.4408920985E-016

RE: Watermarking images

2011-02-03 Thread wabba

Thanks for the ideas, a few seconds per display is definitely unacceptable
with any sort of volume. Gets tricky when you have hundreds to update at a
time and obviously can't run images through again which have already been
watermarked. Many of the images are uploaded/updated via the web in which
case it can easily be handled at that time. When batches are done (which is
often times hundreds or thousands, and with no way to tell which are new and
which are just duplicate copies of what already exists, particularly after
the old ones are watermarked/modified...) it might be smart to just setup a
temp directory with a script that could either be on a schedule or manually
invoked to watermark and move. Keeping a second folder of clean images
offline to pull form would be fine, anyone have any suggestions on a good
command line utility?

Subject: RE: Watermarking images


This can easily be done with cfimage. I just wanted to offer my experience
with doing it on the fly.

If you hit my site, in my signature, you will see a watermarked mast head
image. If you refresh, you will get another.

My super cool plan was to have the watermark added on each request. It
worked quickly enough that it was no problem at all... however, the image
had some very strange caching issues on the browser side... I tried
everything I could think of to get around it but eventually ended up
watermarking the images and saving the watermarked file for display.

When a new image is added to a directory, I can click a button to loop oever
them, watermark them and move them to the directory that they will be
displayed from.

Ray Camden offered a good idea for a gateway that would watch the diectory
and handle the watermakrs without any interaction... 

But my suggestion is to, somehow, watermark the images permanently and use
those for display. You can always keep an original copy and watermark them
again later (if your watermark changes or something). But the headaches of
doing it on the fly became too much to worry with and I ended up saving
watermarked versions instead.

You can see some code and more detail here:
http://acoderslife.com/index.cfm/blog/Mast-head-image-bug

The code there is what I was using to watermark on the fly.

Anyone have a good tool for watermarking images either as they are displayed
to the client, or on the backside as they are uploaded? Working on a parts
database of 30k+ items and the part images are updated frequently. We
regularly receive images discs or flash drives from manufacturers which we
then just dump over the top of the old images, so doing the watermarking on
the fly ensures it's always displayed without having to do the entire thing
over.

Okay this post is going against my better judgment, but here it goes:

Mr. Kane, If I understand your email correctly, you are going to sue 
someone who has been without work for at least a month that I know of 
for libel. What kind of damages are you trying to recoup? Even if your 
awarded how will you collect? The individual has already screwed 
themselves out ever getting gainful employment via cf-jobs and your suit 
would just further marginalize them into desperation.

With that said I have had several very good interactions with cf-jobbers 
both personal and business. At heart I think we a good group of people 
slow to anger and eager to help out. I hope we can remain the civil 
goodhearted folks I've known since joining.

Mr. Firth, back away from the keyboard and cf-jobs. Think about what you 
want accomplish with your words. consider an apology and then 
volunteering your time on an open source project , blog about what your 
doing with them and focus on your studies. IMHO you need to rebuild your 
reputation and respect with this group of folks ad the coldfusion 
community at large.

 to no avail.  i have also worked for adam in the past.  i always 
 thought we parted ways on a good note.  guess i was wrong.  talk about 
 grudges.
 
 topofmind - this is an atlanta company that asked to interview twice 
 then said we change our minds even though they told me they were going 
 to hire me.  heck i tried apologizing too even though they wronged me. 
 oh well.
 
 elliot kayne - another gentleman that said he would hire me then 
 backed out.  wish you guys would make up your mind.  by the way he 
 runs onlinecorp.com and quickcart.com.  watch out he will string you 
 along too.
 
 superwarehouse.com - rand will talk to you but wont return your emails 
 once hes made up his mind.
 
 ken fergurson - wow .  an oldie but goodie.  even had a few people 
 asked about him.  hope you didnt ruin your career either.
 
 maureen with a gmail address - another attempt at crucifying me.  
 seems like a double standard here. you tell me i am disturbing you but 
 you call me out in public too.
 
 I do want to thank the gentleman at Adobe who will remain nameless for 
 the free copy of cfbuilder.  Alas it wasn't meant to be.  I do think 
 there are more good people than bad, but the bad do leave an odor.
 
 So anyone who may have a question regarding the above I will give my 
 perspective.  I know i also hear from some of you but I dont really 
 care because lets face i wont get a job from here and to be honest i 
 dont think i want one.

Re: other companies and developers to watch out for

2011-02-03 Thread Michael Firth

Please consider this a retraction of my previous statement and an apology to 
those who feel they have been harmed.  Under the threat of legal action I 
cannot bear to put my family through that, so I must ask those who feel such 
steps are necessary to call it off and consider this my full apology.

Also, let be noted that I have filled out a contact form request to remove me 
fully from this list because I wish no longer to be a member.  This was done 
yesterday prior to the thread in questioned,but yet I am still waiting.

There will be no more and that is a guarantee.

 I ve accepted the fact that I will not probably get another job from
 this list so you know what who cares.

 So i might as well empty the closet on all those who I think have done
 a lot of damage to our career field.

 companies and developers  to watch out for

 mediaspa - for whatever reason if you get on their bad side watch out

RE: other companies and developers to watch out for

2011-02-03 Thread Bobby Hartsfield

I think you can rest assured that if M.F. tells us NOT to trust someone... that 
we are most likely going to do the opposite. 

That said, his drama and all of the replies to it are getting seriously old.

I filtered him and that works great... until people reply to him.

I guess I just need to add a message body filter for his name.

Mr. Michael Firth  -I was about to offer you an assignment … until I 
saw this post … 

http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-jobs-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:820

This is considered libel … and I can ( and WILL )  sue you for 
Defamation.  

I have taken screen shots of this post and documented it, and you will be 
hearing from my lawyer.   I am contacting the others you have also libeled and 
will be filing a joint petition.

I suggest that you CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY from your posts and write a 
retraction.

Re: other companies and developers to watch out for

2011-02-03 Thread Michael Firth

Final post to those involved in possible legal action against me (in case you 
haven't received my emails):

If your lawyers require my contact info, you may contact Mr. Kayne.  He has my 
phone number.  I have already gone ahead and deleted my email, 
mfsqlser...@gmail.com because I have yet to get any response from those 
involved.  In addition, THIS IS MY FINAL POST, and will no longer visit here 
and can only hope my account is truly deleted.

There is no need for a full legal suit because I am already to settle and all 
my assets are for your pickings.  Kick the tire now, because most likely I 
won't be in my current address for very long given my situation.  I will 
provide a full list and you can even have my car payment.  I get the cat 
though.  

I don't what else to say, besides sorry again.  two of you claim to wanting 
give me employment, but you gave me different impressions, be it good or bad.  
I have said what I needed to say.  If you want everything go ahead take it 
because I am done.  I am really done.
