drawing the letters of the alphabet

I need to use javascript's graphics API to draw the letters of
the alphabet. If necessary, I can map out all 26 letters myself
and use drawline() to draw them, but I am hoping someone out
there might have a better suggestion. The user will click a spot
on the canvas, and the script will draw one of the letters at
that spot.

thanks,

mike

JavaScript has no API for drawing lines. However some people have
written client-side JavaScript which manipulates DIVs to simulate the
drawing of lines and more complex shapes <url:

However, given the use of the word "canvas" makes me think you mean
you want to do this in Java, not JavaScript.

There is no JavaScript Graphics API. Most certainly you are
confusing JavaScript with Java; if so, post to comp.lang.java.

Greetings: I appoligize if I'm asking a question that's already been answered in the group - I've scoured for about two hours and I can't find a solution. I also appoligize if I over complicate my question, but I want to be sure that I communicate my thought(s). The database I'm working on will generate tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of records, each of which need to be identified uniquely. Using the autonumber would be ideal...

I want to scroll through the alphabet in order to scroll some data to the closest name that starts with a letter. If the user hits the H button then it should scroll to the letter closest to H. If no one exists with H, then go to I, etc. If its near the end, say 'V', and the last person is a 'T' then it should work its way back up the alphabet. I was trying to loop as if the Char's were ints but I am having problems I have buttons...

(C#, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5) Hello! I'm in the process of creating a custom text control and I want to add functionality for superscripts and subscripts. I'm using TextRenderer for drawing and measuring text because Graphics.DrawString and Graphics.MeasureString does not come with a "NoPadding" option. When drawing superscripts and subscripts, I'll specify the x-position as the width of the normal text. This works fine for regular...

I have a database where I label entries by the alphabet (A-Z). However, when I have more entries than the alphabet has letters I then double the letters (AA-ZZ) and so on. I want to create a sorting code that will list all single letters then double letters, triple and so on. I am somewhat of a novice so if anyone has some ideas I sure would appreciate it along with a bit of detail. Thanks much! Adam

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
