Printing Java Applet Applications?

as400 · 07-28-2006, 06:15 PM

Im running this online satelite tracking Java applet and I want to print it. Or, I tried to do a Cntrl + C and the Paste, but the paste button was not dark or was faded out in StarOffice wheI tried to paste it...

Is there any ay I can print a Jaca applet from CDE? Or, JDS will work OK too but I hate booting everywhere around to just to have things working...

thanks

I,m tracking satelites online and its using a Java Applet. How can I print that Java Applet? Because I did a Cntlr + C and opened StarOffice and the PAste icon was faded...I dont know why In Windows it works in Microsoft PAint...But not here. Is there any way?

You see. I posted this almost 24 hours ago and you see what I mean that people dont use as much Solaris?? I was right....

Why are you cutting and pasting when you goal is simply to print ?

Did you simply try to print from your browser ?

If what you want is really a snapshot, this can be done with the command "sdtimage -snapshot".

IM trying to PRINT a Java Applte were you can track satrelites..from a browser....I cannot because the Applet is on another window...

Now this command "sdtimage -snapshot". what you gave me please explain how to do it...I just wanna print the Applet...Thats all, please explain how...Because I have to boot into Windows all the time in order to print...Sounds retarded in my opinion...

After doing the command..."sdtimage -snapshot" then whats next???

And heres what I mean..I want to print were the satlelite trackings are here:
http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/jtr.../JTrack3D.html

And the reason I copy/paste and then past it inti StarOffice because that the way how it worked in Windows and then printing from there from StarOffice or PAINT which is better...

I cannot imagine anyone having trouble understanding the dead simple and self explanatory snapshot interface.

Did you try launching it and still do not understand ?

as400 · 07-29-2006, 02:19 PM

Please be specific please. You just gave me a command...

Now, I go to the website and load the Applet then go into a Term. Console and then type that command and thats it???

Please be detailed here.

So am correct?? All i have to do is to go to that Java Applet or load it and then go to a Console and type this command??? "sdtimage -snapshot" and thats all while in that Applet? Please explain.

Please post again only when you have run the command and still do not understand.

as400 · 07-29-2006, 02:42 PM

Ok...again...do I have to type the command WHILE IM THERE ON THE WEBSITE???

HERE.

$ sdtimage -snapshot
sdtimage: not found

But this was while on here on this site...Im still lost.

"/usr/dt/bin/sdtimage -snapshot"

as400 · 07-29-2006, 04:08 PM

You still dont get my question...dont you????

When do I have to type in that command?? WHen Im in the Java Applet or when the Applet loads up?? Im still lost...

jlliagre · 07-29-2006, 04:12 PM

You can type that command anytime you like.
That doesn't matter.

you can either type the command "sdtimage -snap" or right-clicked on your desktop and go for Applications -> Snapshot and choose either 'window' or 'region' , probably 'region' is the one that you are looking for ...

//hope that i understood you question ...

as400 · 07-29-2006, 05:19 PM

I did thr REGION PART...Ok...Im still lost...I loaded the Java Applet tracking map. Then I went and go ahead with your instructions....I selected REGION AND THEN SNAP....But then I opened up Star Office and atill I could not PASTE IT.....

Please explain now what I did wrong this time???

Thanks

after you snap that applet , save it as an image file to your favarioute folder and reopen it from inside Star Office(note :: i havent try that yet , but i believe it could be done by this method) ...

//oh frankly , i hate office documents of all sorts ...

//thats all i know but good luck to you ...

Please explain why are you carefully ignoring some of the questions you are asked to ?

Please explain why are you opening Star Office when all you want is printing ?

Please explain why do you need someone to tell you to open the "File" menu from the sdtimage application, then select one of the "Print" options, or just click "Control-P" to print the screenshot when everyone else just find it by themselves ?

Please explain why are you ignoring the meaning of "Help" when appearing in a user interface ?

Please explain why are you trolling this forum just to be spoon-fed ?
