pdf-renderer: PDFRenderer Home Page

pdf-renderer: PDFRenderer Home Page: "The PDF Renderer is just what the name implies: an open source, all Java library which renders PDF documents to the screen using Java2D. Typically this means drawing into a Swing panel, but it could also draw to other Graphics2D implementations. We hope you will come up with cool things to do with it that we never thought of.

PDF is one of the core file formats of the Internet, so it is very important for Java programmers to be able to both read and write PDFs. Great open source libraries like iText have long handled the writing half, but until now there has not been a good way to read PDFs using open source Java libraries. It could be used to draw on top of PDFs, share them over a network, convert PDFs to PNG images, or maybe even project PDFs into a 3D scene."

Yahoo! Developer Network - Flash Developer Center - ASTRA Flash Components - Charts

Yahoo! Developer Network - Flash Developer Center - ASTRA Flash Components - Charts

Similar to other Flash components, you can create a chart by placing an instance on the stage or by using ActionScript to create an instance dynamically.

Initializing a Chart on Stage

The easiest way to create a chart is to drag one of the chart components, such as ColumnChart, from the Components panel to the stage. This will immediately create a instance of the chart and add it to the display list. You may use the Properties panel to set some of its basic properties, such as the data provider and category names, and to change the position and size of the component. For more advanced functionality, you will need to manipulate the chart with ActionScript.

What is the Grid Engine project?

The Grid Engine project is an open source community effort to facilitate the adoption of distributed computing solutions. Sponsored by Sun Microsystems and hosted by CollabNet, the Grid Engine project provides enabling distributed resource management software for wide ranging requirements from compute farms to grid computing. A video is available that introduces grid computing and the Grid Engine project.

By any use of this Website, you agreed to be bound by these Policies and Terms of Use.

Mission

The Grid Engine project is about expanding the application and use of distributed computing. We want to:

  • Advance Grid Engine technology
  • Establish community-driven standards for distributed computing
  • Enable developers to create innovative services and applications across distributed heterogeneous compute environments
We've outlined an overall vision and set of objectives guiding our development process. You can view them in our introduction page and our documentation.

About This Site

This site is a base for continued collaborative development of the Grid Engine project. You will find Grid Engine distributed resource management software here, as well as evolving ideas for continued evolution of the code. We hope you will find the Grid Engine project useful in the deployment of your distributed computing applications.
