Printing in OpenOffice.org Calc, Part I: Page styles
530986
Spreadsheets are primarily used online. For this reason, printing them can be challenging even to experienced users. However, OpenOffice.org offers more help than most spreadsheets with printing, starting with the introduction of page styles. In this entry, I'll explain how Calc page styles can help with printing spreadsheets. In Part II, I'll continue by explaining the other tools available for printing in Calc.

OpenSwing is a component library that provides a rich set of advanced graphics components and a framework for developing java applications based on Swing front-end. It can be applied both to rich client applications and Rich Internet Applications.     In this release:   Added PropertyGridControl component: it can be used to edit properties, having different value types in a grid (see documentation for detailed info). Added "demo21" and "demo22" sample applications showing how to use the new PropertyGridControl class. Fixed problem when referring inner v.o. attribute in a grid or Form components. Fixed problem when referring the whole lookup v.o. to an attribute in the lookup container. Added "addLookup2ParentLink" method to LookupController, to set the whole lookup v.o. to an attribute in the lookup container. Added "createInnerVO" property to GridControl to define if an inner v.o. must be automatically instantiated when a setter method is invoked. Fixed a problem in NumericControl: now "minValue" property in NumericControl and in "numeric" columns  correctly support negative numbers, i.e. if this property has a negative value, then the user can digit a negative number  in the numeric component, by pressing "-" symbol as the first character at the left of the number. Fixed problem with ListControl when there is the same item description for more than one item. Fixed problem in Form when binding an inner value object to more than one input controls. Added new target "beaninfosign" to build.xml Ant file: it can be used to sign BeanInfo.jar file too. The distribution includes also Jar file libraries, source files, javadoc, license and readme.txt installation instructions.   OpenSwing is available at:  http://oswing.sourceforge.net/     OpenSwing last release is downloadable from:    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=167774&package_id=190748&release_id=535881

On the RegDeveloper website, there's a new tutorial posted that covers the creation of both PDF files and Excel reports from inside of PHP (with the help of the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer PEAR component and the ClibPDF PHP Library (bundled with PHP 5.3).   Given the prevelance of PHP, Excel and PDF it's fortunate there exists class libraries for the generation of PDF documents and Excel spreadsheets using PHP.   They start with the PDF generation and show the installation process for ClibPDF and an example of creating a document on the fly. Their example sets up a title, some content text and a table of information. Creating the Excel spreadsheet is even simpler with the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer - installation via a PEAR channel and defining the worksheet, fonts and content are quick and easy function calls.

WebReference.com has a simple new tutorial today showing how to create alternating table rows in the output for your application.   Almost every database driven Web site uses alternating row colors when displaying a list of records, a concept used all over the Internet.  You've seen it used, you like it, and now you want to do it yourself.  But you're not sure how to accomplish it.  Well you've come to the right place.  I'm going to discuss the basic idea behind achieving this and give some concrete examples demonstrating different ways to implement it.   Their script loops through the information (numbers in their case) and checks, using the modulus operator to check and see which of the CSS styles it should apply to the div. To give a range of possibility, they also show how to do it with a while loop instead of a for to do a little benchmarking of the methods.

Stoyan Stefanov has a fun little post showing an interesting formatting trick to make reading arrays/hashes easier:   Writing readable code means proper indentation. Usually you'd tab (or use 2 or 4 or 3 spaces) after every curly bracket. [...] Same goes when you have a bigger hash/object sort of thing [...] But recently, inspired by Firebug's Net panel way of presenting header information, I tried aligning the keys to the right in addition to aligning the values to the left.   Check out the entry for examples of each of these techniques and see which might fit your programming style the best. Personally, the align right style looks nice but could be more of a pain than it's worth to force my editor into.
