How to set fixed height for graph area in Chart.js - chart.js

I need to create multiple charts, where the graph area is exactly the same height (but other chart element heights can vary).
What kind of method could be used to achieve this functionality?
By default Chart.js aims to fill the canvas height when drawing elements which makes the graph area height dependent on the canvas height and other chart elements like the title height and legend height.
This problem has been discussed on Chart.js GitHub (https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/issues/3458), the devs seem to agree that this fuctionality should be handled by a custom plugin and not by the core library anyway.
I'm a bit lost. So far I've tried to modify the y-scale height, maxHeight, padding, margin etc. in beforeFit and afterFit -hooks, but those don't seem to do anything. I just don't seem to grasp how the height setting is handled in the source code and how to go about overriding it.

Having trouble understanding how HStack content works with fluid widths

I've been running into a pretty consistent problem with how views inside HStack work, with a simplified screenshot to exemplify the issue.
My expectation would be for the width of the green to basically be (expressed like an equation):
Section.width - Image.width
The section width is fluid, and the image width is explicit. Surely that means the green should be correctly calculated?
Any help with what seems to be a basic misunderstanding on my part would be hugely appreciated.
Actually you're right, but there are just default List/Form insets, which can be either changed or removed.
So all you need is
that gives on Xcode 13.4 / iOS 15.5
The height property in your frame for the image is messing with width dimensions. By setting the maxHeight to be infinity, the height property will expand the image to the max possible height, meaning the height of the section, even if it changes the width. You can think of it as, in a way, overriding the ability of the text to stretch its full width.
To fix this, consider changing the maxHeight property by adding a set height, or play around with different types of frames dimensions.

If you want to launch an app on the app store, you may want to consider learning Geometry Reader to have dynamic dimensions across different screen sizes. This is a tutorial from a really good website, hacking with swift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNO1b58k7zg&t=505s

How to outline border of the slicer in Power BI Desktop

How can I outline the border of the slicer?
I want to change color of the border of the window where it says "All".
I do not need like this:
I need something like that"
Anyway to achieve that in Power bi?
I don't think this is currently possible with the built-in slicer.
To do this, you'll either have to create your own custom visual or else submit an idea and hope it gets implemented.
This image shows the different pieces you can currently adjust.
Notice that the border for the header and the items (purple) is the same thickness and color, the outside border (yellow) can't be changed in width, and the Items Outline doesn't display except on the drop-down section.
You could make a really thick border using the Background, but I don't think that's a good option.

Chart templates, color schemes and font sizes

I'm trying to automate some PowerPoint charts, but I'm having problems preserving some formatting.
When I add a chart using a chart template, the chart doesn't use the slides color scheme, but rather the colors it was saved with. It doesn't help to change the color scheme for the slide - the chart isn't updated. To make the chart update to the color scheme of the slide, I have to clear formatting for the chart. The problem with doing this is that all font sizes are automatically set to 18pt. I cannot find any easy way restore the font sizes for the chart without saving all sizes before calling clear, and set them back after clearing.
Have you looked into using the Format Painter function it may or may not work depending on a variety of factors from my quick look on the net (google it for lots of articles).
Also if you've done one chart you should be able to copy the formatting from one chart to another using the paste special option as mentioned here http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/there-format-painter-equivalent-use-many-charts-t3611646.html .

Qt GUI Development - Displaying a 2D grid using QGraphicsView

I'm new to Qt development so I've being trying to research a solution to a user interface I need to design. My project is to simulate players in an online game moving around a global map. To represent the map I need to display a 2D grid, with each space in the grid representing a region of a map. I then need to display the location of each player in the game. The back-end is all fully working, with the map implemented as a 2D array. I'm just stuck on how to display the grid.
The research I have done has led me to believe a QGraphicsView is the best way to do this, but I can't seem to find a tutorial relevant to what I need. If anyone has any tips on how to implement this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Dan
A 2D Grid is nothing more than a set of horizontal and vertical lines. Suppose you have a 500x500 map and you want to draw a grid where the distance between the lines in both directions is 50. The sample code that follows shows you how you can achieve it.
// create a scene and add it your view
QGraphicsScene* scene = new QGraphicsScene;
ui->view->setScene(scene);
// Add the vertical lines first, paint them red
for (int x=0; x<=500; x+=50)
scene->addLine(x,0,x,500, QPen(Qt::red));
// Now add the horizontal lines, paint them green
for (int y=0; y<=500; y+=50)
scene->addLine(0,y,500,y, QPen(Qt::green));
// Fit the view in the scene's bounding rect
ui->view->fitInView(scene->itemsVBoundingRect());
You should check the QGraphicsView and the QGraphicsScene documentation as well as the corresponding examples. Also you can watch the graphics view training videos or some graphics view related videos from the Qt developer days.
Well if you have a constant grid size or even a limited number of grid sizes what i like to do is to draw a grid block in gimp or any other program and then set that as the background brush (draw only bottom and right side of the block) qt will repeat the image and will give you a full grid. I think this is good for performance too.
This is the grid image i used in one of my programs it's 10x10 pixels.
Then call QGraphicsScene setBackgroundBrush as the follwing:
scene->setBackgroundBrush(QBrush(QPixmap(":/grid/grid10.png")));
The more native way is this:
scene = self.getScene() # Your scene.
brush = QBrush()
brush.setColor(QColor('#999'))
brush.setStyle(Qt.CrossPattern) # Grid pattern.
scene.setBackgroundBrush(brush)
borderColor = Qt.black
fillColor = QColor('#DDD')
rect = QRectF(0.0, 0.0, 1280, 720) # Screen res or whatever.
scene.addRect(rect,borderColor,fillColor) # Rectangle for color.
scene.addRect(rect,borderColor,brush) # Rectangle for grid.
Sorry by PyQt...
Suppose a scene is set to the graphicsview then simply below one line will show the grid.
ui->graphicsView->scene()->setBackgroundBrush(Qt::CrossPattern);
There several other values can be passed for ex: Qt::Dense7Pattern
These are members of enum BrushStyle, just click on any used value in Qt creator and it will take you to the enum declaration where you can see all other possible values.
PS:
A scene can be set like this:
ui->graphicsView->setScene(new QGraphicsScene());

How to display different size images in CListCtrl

In my MFC program,I want to display different size images in a list!
I use CListCtrl and CImageList!
But the CImageList only can load fixed images!
Variable row heights in CListCtrl is not supported. You could take a look at this article that describes a control based on CWnd that handles drawing of variable row heights.
I would consider to use the so called "owner drawn" mode to draw these myself. I don't know about another option (there is no built-in mode)... Maybe you can also take the biggest size and fit the smaller images into the bigger frames but I think it will be the same effort and be less efficient...
I mean use the
CListCtrl::DrawItem()
method
Create a "grid," a non-symmetrical grid most likely, on a dialog or Form. Then populate it with irregular shaped images as you choose. If you need more space look into a Scrollable “whatever,” view, dialog, etc.
Irregular or non rectangular shaped bitmaps seems a good place to start.
