How (if possible) can this SAP Smartforms template be drawn? - layout

Is it possible to split a template like below image?
If it is, may I get some instructions on how to do it please? I've only managed to create the 3 frames in a configuration that is basically rotated with 90 (or 270) degrees from this one.

No, this is not possible. Check the online documentation:
[...] to create a template like the one below, you cannot use the template concept of Smart Forms: [...] The cells of the colored part cover several lines. [...]
The linked article also contains an example on how to split the contents into separate windows.

Mapbox, create area, label that area, then search for the label

Total newbi here. I have played with studio for a few h but can not get over the next hurdle.
I would like to draw wine growing areas on the map.
Managed to draw areas. Tick.
I would like to give these areas a unique name.
Managed to create labels.
But I don't understand how the text is associated with the area.
I then want to search for this label, so that the map zooms in on that area.
Just like when I search for "Coburg, Victoria, Australia".
I have managed to publish my maps including the areas in my WordPress website.
So my access token and my style does the right thing.
Need some hints how to get the labelling and searching happening.
Thank you for any help.
Regards
Romano
and welcome to using Mapbox.

Have you tried creating a Symbol layer, and setting the Text field to the appropriate field in your data source?
I then want to search for this label, so that the map zooms in on that area. Just like when I search for "Coburg, Victoria, Australia".
This goes beyond using Studio, and into building web maps with mapbox-gl-js. One starting point would be to use the Finder Impact Tool.
This might involve processing the data twice -- once for your base map, and another time in a spreadsheet to make available to the Finder template. It's possible to just do once, but would involve some modifying the Finder template.

How to specify the items in reference list using BibTeX? ChemPhysChem LaTeX requirement

I'm revising a manuscript for ChemPhysChem. They just provided a very simple templet here. However, I have some problems meeting the requirement:
Please follow our house style for references for example: [1] X. Y.
Name, A. B. Name, J. Abbr. 2016, 5, 111-120.
This kind of reference hides the title, and I can not find an existing style to meet the need.
I am using the following latex script:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sorting=none, backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{ref_r.bib}
What do I need to do to solve the problem? Do I really need to build a new .bst file? Could anyone share their experience on submitting manuscripts on ChemPhysChem using LaTeX?
Don't use biblatex for journal submissions unless your publisher explicitly states that they do accept it. While it is a nice and flexible tool, biblatex is not yet the standard.
Just follow the instructions from the template and use
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%alternatively you may use
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{mymanuscript.bib}
%and send the .bib file along with your manuscript
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Don't worry if the resulting style might be a bit different from their requirement, they won't use it anyway but convert your source files with their pipeline.
I changed to my latex using BibTeX back, and built a cpc.bst file for ChemPhysChem using the following command with the help of the youtube video:
latex makebst
It would not be that hard to create the bibliography style file using the guide of the above-mentioned video.
And the result looks like
this.

nested collapsible container in drawio?

I'm wondering if it's possible to nest collapsible containers? In the picture below I have a container containing various lists of text organised in "sections"; it'd be great to be able to collapse the sections individually as well.
Related query, since I'm creating those boxes programmatically – is it possible to create the text content programmatically and not need to position them with absolute y positions? With the user interface I can just add a new text box and it automatically stacks below the current one, and the container expands. If I create those with a script it seems I need to provide the y positions and sizes myself.
you could try adding a new container for every section (as shown in the attachment) and check if it suits your needs. I created a simple test diagram, it could be improved visually.

GPUImageHistogramFilter with GPUImageFilterPipeline

I am using GPUImage in my photo app to make some image filter options. In the app, there is an option to add multiple filters while capture an image, so to handle multiple filters, I have used GPUImageFilterPipeline. Every filter effect, those I have added, works well on pipeline except GPUImageHistogramFilter. I know that GPUImageHistogramFilter need more steps when compare to other filters(as mentioned here). But this is not working on pipeline. How to make histogram with GPUImageFilterPipeline?
A GPUImageHistogramFilter doesn't operate like a normal filter, and you can't use its output directly. It sends out a 3x256 texture containing the RGB channel histogram, but you need some way of parsing that for display. You won't be able to set that up in a GPUImageFilterPipeline construct.
Instead, you'll want to set up your filter pipeline manually, following the example provided in the FilterShowcase sample application (or my steps in the answer you link above). I use a histogram generator to create the overlay you see in the example there, and there's no easy way to set that up with a GPUImageFilterPipeline.
Also, I'd personally recommend not using the GPUImageFilterPipeline, since I don't maintain that class. It was contributed by a couple of other people, but I don't use it for anything myself and it has a tendency to break. I'd instead just create your filter chain yourself or place things within a GPUImageFilterGroup if you need to organize filter subunits.

United States State shapes for Office

I want to create visuals along the lines of CNN's "red-state, blue-state" shadings of the states in the U.S. for my project. I'm planning to do something fancier than just shading the state's shape in a color. Are there open source libraries of state shapes/polygons (or - if not open source - others) that I can import into Word, Excel, etc. that I can use to show complicated graphs based on states?
I have Map Point, but haven't been able to figure out how to shade the states in a complex way.
you could try google charts, it looks like http://www.woot.com is doing something similar to what you need
Here is a good example using google maps... I've used code like that before.. perhaps from this exact example.
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_states2.htm
EDIT: you might want to consider converting the states.xml into JSON... it'll be smaller (136k of XML right now!) and should load faster in most browsers.
There might be a couple parts to the question you are asking, but to address the first part "Are there open source libraries of state shapes/polygons...", here's a resource to check out:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SVG_maps_of_the_United_States
It's a list of various SVG(scalable vector graphics) files which can be imported into a number of applications. Basically a giant xml representation of lines and endpoints. This can be directly converted to XAML, if you're into a more programmatic way of charting(ie, C# w/ Silverlight).
However, to address the second part regarding MS Office, Visio can import SVG files for manipulation as well. I'm unsure what type of graphs you were looking for, but I hope this can assist in some small way on your path to awesomeness ;)
