Best Way to Fill in a Shape

I have the following graphic:
It was actually a font originally but I converted it to paths. I'm wondering what is the best way to go about filling this in (so I can put color between the black outline)? It seems as though when I change the fill, the outline of the graphic is what changes. Sorry if this is obvious but I searched and couldn't find a reasonable answer (maybe I'm phrasing it wrong?).

To my knowledge, Not ALL forum posts are linked to the help files, only those marked as "[i] Community Help" and begin with a generic first post as "This question was posted in response to the following article:" , plus the related help page name, however without the product name involved.
You are however correct that this whole system is a bad idea and is and will be a big mess. If these posts are unmoderated they will be a mess, with all types of garbage, if Adobe wanted to do this approach then at a minimum they need full-time people who monitor these related threads and clean them up and provide proper assistance and correct answers from with in Adobe themselves. Even if you use the search feature that is apart of "Adobe Community Help - Search Field" you get returns from third party sites, a lot of times the first return is from a 3rd part site, not just within the help docs themselves. How is this better than just googling? If I search Adobe I want only Adobe, if I want otherwise then I know enough to just google my queries. This whole system was certainly ill conceived and sent into the wild, resulting in a mess now and in the future.

Best way to fill a datagird with A LOT of data?

What's the best way to fill a datagrid with A LOT of data.
I'm talking about something like 10,000 rows. Can the datagrid
handle it? No screen is large enough to show 10,000 records..... is
there a way to load 50, and then when a user scrolls down it loads
the next 50 etc...?

Right. It's not recommended that you load 10,000 rows into
the datagrid at once. Using the data management service with paging
enabled is a much better solution. See the Configuring the Data
Management Service chapter in the Flex2 Developer's Guide for more
info.

Best way to fill this drawing I made.

Take a look at this drawing its lots of lines basically. I need to fill it all with one color and I need to keep all the lines. What the best way to get this object filled without losing the lines and shape?

If those are all separate graphics, ungroup them until they are all one on the same layer, make sure there are no gaps, and then use the fill tool in each section. If you need to retain them as separate graphics, then copy them and do this to the copy and then take the fill you create and place it on a lyaer beneath the orginal.
If the approach offered isn't going to work, explain how you created this.

Best way to fill CLOB with external XML from URL

There seem to be a number of great tools available for pl/sql developers in the 8i DB environment and I am tryng to get a handle on them. So far I have worked with XSQL servlet (not PL/SQL), XML Parser and XSU.
The problem I have is to fill a clob from an external xml file via a url and then make that clob available for DBMS_XMLSave to insert into DB. What is the best way to do this? I am thinking maybe I have to use utl_http or utl_tcp to fill the CLOB since I can't seem to find a method in the pl/sql XDK?
XSU - can easily generate CLOB from a query but in this case it is not a query, it is XML from url
XMlparser - can read in from a url using parse() but the document returned is a DOMDocument rather than CLOB.

Best way to change colour of shapes

Hi, i am using the code below:
public static Color shapeColor; for storing the current colour
public void paint(Graphics g)
            Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
            for (Shape tempS : allShapes)
                g2D.setPaint(shapeColor);
                g2D.fill(tempS);
        } note that allShapes is an arraylist which stores all my shapes
In another class i call the static variable and change it according to wat the user has selected.
My problem is that when i change the colour, the colour for all my shapes change. For example if i create a shape with the colour green and then create another shape with colour blue, both will be blue.
Thanks for your time.

Best way to fill a table where some row will already exist

I have a table of 100,000 Books
I have a Set 'Books' of 1000 Book Objects. (many of which will already exist in the table)
I want to add the books not already in the table, I can see a few ways to do this but not sure which is the most efficient.
A)
Get a ResultSet from the DB matching a 'SELECT' matching the Books in my Set.
iterate through ResultSet, removing Books in the Set, leaving the Set containing only Books not in the Table.
Add all books in Set to Table.
B)
Iterate through my Set of Books and add all of my books to the Table in turn
any Books already in the Table already existing will throw an exception
Ignore the exception
C)
Iterate through my Set of Books and check if each is in the Table
If already in Table go on to next Book
otherwise add to Table

Try it both ways, and see which takes longer.
Of course once you've done that, you don't need to know because the task is complete. But the information might be useful for the next time.

The way to fill data in test

Hey friends
Can anyone say me ,what is best way to fill data in test from Development .I want to take data from production to test every day .Every day many transaction occurs here and i want to modify all that happened to production.
Thanks in Advance
Tinku

The problem, I'm assuming, with that is that there is presumably data in the dev/test environments that is not in prod that needs to be in dev/test. There will almost certainly be new and modified database objects and new or modified procedures in dev/test that ought not be overwritten.
You could work around that issue by creating every table in dev/test as an updatable materialized view. The problem there is that will set up a situation where production performance is potentially affected by issues on dev/test and that the objects you're working with in dev/test aren't the same as they are in prod (MVs rather than tables), which generally goes against the point of dev/test.
That leaves you creating a staging schema of materialized views and creating a custom ETL routine to extract data from those MVs (or from prod directly, but that puts a bigger burden on prod) and add it to your tables (noting that the ETL routines need to change whenever changes are made to the structure of your database and that calculated fields sometimes need to be recalcualated with the updated logic in dev/test). 99% of the time someone thinks they want what you're asking for, they realize that they don't want daily refreshes that badly when they start looking into the complexity of implementing it.
The vast majority of applications have no problem running with data that is a few months out of date, so you can recover prod to test after, say, a regularly scheduled build.

Best Way to Draw A Simple Isoceles Triangle, and Fill it.

Hi,
What I assume is a relativly simple problem, ive got the coordinates of the bottom two points of an isoceles triangle, and the height, and need to draw it in Java2D. It's base will always be parrellel to the bottom of the screen.
I also need to be able to fill or not fill it very simple, what would be the best way to do this?
Thanks for your time,
atreides7887

Create your triangle as an instance of [java.awt.Polygon|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Polygon.html] and call [java.awt.Graphics2D.fill(Shape s)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html#fill(java.awt.Shape)] to paint the triangle to a BufferedImage or in a paintComponent override.
Read the other methods of Graphics2D for the rest of your answer.

Best way to make a clipping mask with indesign drawn vector shapes?

What is the best way to create a clipping mask with vector art that is drawn inside of indesign?
I have a group of vector shapes to paste into a rounded corner box. This art is grouped.
What i tried:
-create the rounded corner box i want the art inside
-cut art
-edit > paste-into
This worked, but i could not figure out how to move the artwork once it was pasted into the shape. With the direct select tool i could move the individual objects, but not the group of objects. Any ideas?
Is this the best way to acomplish what i'm trying to do?
Thanks!

Yopu don't mention the version of ID, which makes a difference here.
Paste Into is correct. In CS5 you can then use the content grabber donut to move the group inside the frame. In all versions you should be able to select the frame, tehn use Object > Select > Content to get the group, or use the button for that onthe Control Panel. Before CS5 you'll need to use the arrow keys or grab the center spot withthe mouse to move the group.

Best way to prevent automated/spam form filling? ASP/VB

Hi,
I wanted to ask what your advice would be with regard the
best way of
preventing the automated submission of forms on a web site?
We have tried using form validation, but it seems that the
spammers have
already sussed this and are submitting valid data, albeit it
is usually
something along the lines of:
Name: wuehtasdgadfl
Title: ahadlf
Address: audhliuhwerlj
City: akjsdhiehrlj
Email: [email protected]
What is the best way to stop this happening? Or at least
reduce it!
Much appreciated.
Regards
Nath.

> When you say "Test the form content server side..." is
that what the built
> in Dreamweaver behaviour (validate form) does?
No. That's client-side validation using javascript. It's
vulnerable in
that disabling js in the browser will still allow you to
submit the form,
but will not do any validation. The automated bots that spam
your forms
don't do the validation when it's client side.
By server-side validation, I mean to submit the form to an
ASP, PHP, CF,
CGI, etc., script that actually examines the contents of each
field and
decides whether to send the email.
> With the sum field, do you mean that you'd ask the user
to enter a number?
Yes. See how I have done it here -
http://great-web-sights.com/g_contactus.asp
> If so, what happens when the spammers suss that out and
start submitting
> the correct number?
If the 'spammer' is a human reading the instructions and
submitting the
form, you can't do anything about it. I think that's not the
case with
these things though.

Best way to MouseDrag multiple objects around a scene.

So I am having a little trouble trying to drag 3 Box's in a scene.
Originally I had it set up where each was relocated to an x,y translated Z and set to a HWD. Then I figured I would, instead of the mouse click on the box itself, be in the root. From there I would look through all of the root.getChildren() then made that see if it contained the x,y position.
Then from knowing which of my root Children I clicked I did root.getChildren.get(current).setOnDragged to figure out which one was dragged.
The code itself worked except for finding which box I was on.
The issue I find is that I onyl have getX, getSceneX, and getScreenX. X, and SceneX produce the same value, and ScreenX is useless. I tried then to do event.getX() - root.getLayoutX() to make the contains function to work, but it wasn't working and would require me to change up more things. getLayoutX() was = 0 since I didn't set the root location, only the locations of the box's.
From there I kept wondering if there was a better way. Then I thought maybe to loop through every element in my root or in an arrayList(Which is what I used, but realized the root.getchildren should work like the original) but the problem is it keeps only registering the last one in the list, so it just loops and that's it.
So what I want to know is, what would be the best way to figure out what object I'm in?
Originally I use the contains(Swing) but Swing is different, and now especially since we can register mouseEvents to each node, shouldn't we know exactly which one we are on, just by looping through each of them? I figure that's easier than having to check every single mouse position contained within, especially if I have 10000 things to check?

What is the best way to keep your macbook pro in tip top condition. performance wise

What is the best way to keep the performance of a macbook pro in tip top shape. Over the years my computer seems to act like a pc with all of its hicups and lockups.
I am running mountain lion and this computer is approx 2 years old.
Not sure if there is some sort of software that will help with this or is there something else I can do.
Thanks

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device is not something you should have to think about very much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Best way to deal with graphics?

Doing a keynote presentation for first time and need to use several .pdfs. I want to extract sections of the pdfs as graphics in my slides. Also would like to highlight or circle some text. I don't edit graphics much. What is the best way to do this?

Dan, I'm sure others may be able to suggest better ways to do what you want, but here are my $.02.
if you don't do much graphic editing, perhaps the most straightforward way grab sections of PDF files is to open the files in Preview, go to the page you want, and then Save that page as a TIFF file. This will give you a high-quality image that you can then import into Keynote and resize and/or mask as you like.
As for circling text, you can use the Shapes menu to create an ellipse, and you can remove its fill and adjust its outline (stroke) through the Graphics Inspector palette in the Inspector. You might be able to do highlighting with a translucent rectangle (make a rectangle, fill it with the highlight colour, then reduce the opacity), although this colour-tinges the text as well as the background, and is not ideal.
Another technique for highlighting text is to darken out all of the text except for the part you want to highlight. This is pretty simple to do:
First, paste the page you want onto your slide. Copy this image.
Next, completely cover the slide with a black box, and reduce the opacity of the box down so that the page shows through slightly. This is what most of the page will look like when the text is highlighted. Set the animation of this black layer to Dissolve.
Then, paste your copied image again into the slide, this time on top of the translucent layer.
Finally, using the mask tool, mask out all of the page except the text you want to highlight. Set the animation of this image also to Dissolve, and in the Set Automatic Builds drawer, select this object, and have it Start Build automatically with Build 1, the translucent layer.
What this simple technique will do is first show the full page of the graphic, then, on a single click, will fade out all but the highlighted text.
(If other folks have different techniques for highlighting text or making parts of slides more salient, please share!)

When I send a webpage via email, some of my recipients are unable to see it properly. The website was made with iWeb, and a Mac person advised me this was the best way to do an email campaign with iWeb, but it's not working for a lot of my customers - why

I have recently created a website for my family's business. When we bought the Macbook the guy in Apple said the best way to send an email campaign to our mailing list was to publish a hidden page, find it in the browser on Safari, then share it via email, so that is what I do. For most of my customers this works fine, however I have a number of people each month who cannot see any of the content of the email. I have added an 'If you can't see this email properly...' link at the top of the page, with no shapes or images etc near it, but even that does not appear for them.
I am a self-taught novice unfortunately, so haven't a clue what the problem is. I'm not sure of the operating system, but we bought the Macbook in May and it has all the recent updates installed. I have just had a new baby so can't get into the store fdor a one-to-one, so if anyone could explain why this happens / what I can do about it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...
