Drawing/painting in exactly coordinates

Hello , I have got a litle questions.
Can I draw/paint(pictures , or add regular components) on exactly coordinates on the frame?
I mean something like
frame.add(myButton , 500 , 300); (Height and width in the frame)
or something like that....
Hope you understand me.

I really don't recommend using the absolute placement technique.
What if you resize your window? Your components will not adjust, as they would with a LayoutManager. You can accomplish pretty much everything you'd need to do with absolute placement with the appropriate LayoutManagers.

  • Printing a pdf file/drawing to an exact scale????

    I've received some drawings of buildings we are building from our contractor and would like to print them "to scale".  The drawing properties show the drawings to be on 24 x 18 inch paper and my printer can only handle 11 x 17 inch paper.  "Fit to printing area" or whatever it is scales to 60%.  The drawing is 1/2" = 1' and the only thing I can get is a 60% scale which doesn't fit any normal arch. or engineering scale.
    How can I scale a file/drawing to an exact/custom scale?  I have Reader X and Acrobat X Pro and Distiller X Pro, as well as a bunch of other "PDF reader" programs that I've tried to no avail.  Help.

    You could crop the page into the 4 quadrants and print each quadrant at a time without scaling. You would then have to piece the parts together.

  • Using photoshop for drawing, painting.

    I want to draw, paint on my Photoshop without using photos.  Is this possible or do I need to purchase a computer drawing tablet to do so?  If a tablet is required, which ones are compatible with Photoshop Premiere Elements 13?

    ...or am I being unreasonably simplistic regarding something more complex?
    Probably yes (no offense). Just a few random thoughts:
    - you can't do die, glue and fold lines in PS as you can't do specific other custom print marks required for stamping, foil coating, varnishing or whatever
    - process colors in PS are limited to multichannel/ duotones/ tritones and since they will be raster, they will never print sharp, especially when printing on something like uncoated C or G flute
    - similarly, barcodes and other required markings may not print correctly
    So no, there is possibly no way you can do this in just PS. In particular the cutting part will require a complementary EPS/ PDF based on genuine vector data and it really doesn't hurt to have proper alignement crosshairs, either.

  • Drawing/Paint App for Mac Mini?

    I miss AppleWorks. Not for  iPad, not for iPhone, just here on my MacMini, I need a drawing/painting app. Free if possible. I need to create a pic of what my visual disturbance looks like to show to a Doctor. There are a few other drawings I'd like to make, but this one is important.

    There's really nothing like AppleWorks' drawing/painting modules but for drawing, Intaglio comes pretty close. For painting I don't know of any Mac native program that is close but you might want to look at iPaint, SumoPaint, or SketchPad - all of which are online paint programs.

  • What's the best drawing/painting app for iPad 2?

    Whats the best drawing/ painting app?

    I used my wifi only pad in Ireland and uk, and as pointed out, the wifi has no gps.
    I bought a 'bad elf' external receiver.  Worked fine, is small, and idiot proof.
    Then you need a map set.  There are a lot of choices, I ended up using' offmaps', and bought the 'unlimited,  and it was fine.   No point to point directions, but you can find where you are trying to go and the maps themselves were accurate and up to date.   Note, that may vary as you get around the world.
    The elf cost 100, and the unlimited maps was, I think, $5.00.  
    The option was to simply buy a local garmin or Tom Tom when you get there.   As a gizmo guy, I went the elf approach.
    The only downside of the elf is that it is so small, it is easy to lose it in a pocket or backpack.

  • Appleworks Drawing & Painting: Color palettes *still* getting scrambled

    I have a problem when using Appleworks drawing files with painting frames.
    An Appleworks painting frame normally has two color palettes. One comes from the Drawing document, and this determines the background color of the painting frame. Anywhere that has no other color has this color. The other comes from the painting frame itself.
    When clicking into the painting frame, both of these can get scrambled, with unpredictable results. In some cases, although both the drawing document and the painting frame used the same [presentation] palette, and the background color and another color were supposed to be the same, one could switch to another color. I started resetting the background color of each painting frame to white [in the drawing document], and filling it with whatever color I needed [in the painting frame] which solved one of the problems.
    However, I'm still facing the annoying problem that the color palette gets scrambled. When I click into the Painting Frame, the color palette scrambles. If I start painting, it gets screwed up. If I switch the palette from presentation, to something else, back to presentation, that fixes it for the moment. If I click out of the painting frame, and then back into it, or click from one painting frame into another painting frame, the color palette scrambles again. I have to switch the palette twice each time I enter the frame.
    Is there any way to correct this problem?

    The earliest version of AppleWorks stable in OS X is 6.2.4. That you're using 6.2.2 could be a big part of the problem. Since AppleWorks was designated "end-of-life" it is difficult to find the updaters (especially the US/North American) on Apple's site. Here is the page with the links I have for the 6.2.9 updater. The page has a link to the North American updater in the upper right (the blue 15.8 MB) & links to other languages further down.

    Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
    To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
    To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them.

  • Appleworks Drawing & Painting: Color palettes getting scrambled

    I'm currently putting together a drawing document using multiple painting frames. I'm happy to use one color palette - the presentation palette - throughout, but Appleworks keeps scrambling the colors.
    This happens each time I switch between the drawing document and the painting frames, or between two painting frames. The effect is to change some of the colors in the palette, and in the document too. At times a completely different palette appears, under the same presentation heading. Two places which are supposed to have the same color, and the same cell in the palette, get different colors, using the same cell of the palette.

  • Basic Drawing/Painting tool failure

    The following tools are refusing to work correctly. Yes, I am resting my tools at the tools Option bar. Resetting the tools is now SO common I'm think of adding a hotkey.
    Brush: refuses to work unless I reset it nearly every time I come back to it,
    Erase: Doesn't work even after I reset it.
    Curve [cmd+M]: Doesn't work on pixels if my selection is partially an alpha.
    These are basic building blocks of my workflow, in digital painting, sketching and creating masks. I understand when advanced features need retooling and updating, but these tools NEED to work. Please test these more thoroughly, next time. While I appreciate a lot of the features of the Creative Cloud, 50$ to 70$ a month is a lot to ask when your core products are working less well than their open source alternatives. You are really making a case for GIMP or Affinity.
    Does that sound ludicris? It does. I can't imagine trying to do any production retouching in any of those applications, but currently, the suite I rent for over 600$ a year, doesn't work consistently when I need it to work.
    Creative Cloud is only a deal when it functions. If I cobbled together a bought and paid for or open source alternative  it might look like this: Inkscape, GIMP (or Affinity), Motion (which sucks... but Blender could make it better),  Final Cut Pro, Logic... I'd be screwed without InDesign, but I could make it work. This all sounds like a huge headache, but it's currently a BETTER deal when you break core, basic features in flagship applications.
    If you are rebuilding the thing from scratch, fine, but TEST it. I know you guys don't like Macs, but A LOT of you customers use them. Either support the hardware or DON'T.

    My previous computer came with a program called OmniGraffle, and I have found it to be great. If was not pre-instaled on my new MacBook Pro, though. It's not free, unless it happens to be sitting on your computer already and you're not aware of it.
    There's a quite good, but complex, vector drawing program like Adobe Illustrator called Inkscape... the downside is that it isn't a native Mac app. It's a Unix app and requires X11 (available on your Mac OS X install disk as an optional install). There's also a similar program (also requiring X11) that is more like Adobe Photoshop called Gimp.
    Hope one of these can help you!

  • How do I keep a floating window on top of a tabbed document so that it can be used as a reference while drawing/painting?

    Just started using Photoshop CC on my iMac and I have noticed this issue which I did not have using windows based computers. Any floating window just seems to hide in the background as soon as I click on the tabbed document I want to work on. This is an issue for me since I like to have a couple of references open while painting plus I always have another with nothing but my color palette in it. I've already gone over the preferences but can't seem to find the way to avoid this and the options from Widow>Arrange weren't any help also resizing all windows so that they don't overlap each other ends up wasting a lot of screen real estate.

    c.pfaffenbichler meruhelp this is what I'm used to in Windows windowsWORKSPACE | Flickr - Photo Sharing! and yes the active document does not need to be the top most window. This enables me to have my references as floating windows and keep them where I need them as I paint.
    This is what I have to do while working on my Mac macWORKSPACE | Flickr - Photo Sharing! keeping references to either side using floating windows or options from Window>Arrange. If I drag them closer to the area I want to work on, the window will either disappear behind the active document window or it will overlap as you can see in the two images in the top left corner. Aside from the extra work from rearranging windows this way I feel that I'm loosing a good chunk of screen (see yellow striped area).

  • CS4...How do you draw/paint in pure black & white?

    Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm absolutely new to this stuff and I'm getting a lot of great info here which I'm keeping meticulous notes of...
    I've figured out how to paint with CS4 in colors and "near" black/grey/ white (by going to the extreme left of the color square in any given color but it still seems as if if it's influenced by the "parent" color whose square I happen to be choosing from within. Is there a "pure monochrome black/grey/white range" of tones that I'm missing somewhere and, if so, what's the procedure for toggling back and forth quickly/easily between this monochrome and color?
    Thanks.

    Since we don't have multiple mode images, you might consider doing your 'pen and ink' black and white image in one grayscale document and then saving that image again under a different name in rgb to do your color work. Make sure you are doing your grayscale work on a layer with transparency over a white background. That way you can save the grayscale image layer with transparency and overprint it over your color gouache work as a separate file, black over color, so to speak. Use your black layer in your rgb image as a guide then turn it off to save your color work to print separately.
    Actually, you may get just as good a result with less fuss by following the "0,0,0 is pure black; 255,255,255 is pure white" rule for your b&w illustration layer and do your colors on other layers.
    I don't have experience with 'Painter' but you might want to check into that program if you want another take on using watercolor or other illustration styles in your document.
    Post a link to your work here. We want to see the results of our recommendations please.

  • How do you draw/paint directly in Photoshop?

    I keep seeing photos online that people have created entirely in photoshop. How do I do that?

    Good day!
    I suppose you would go about that fairly similarly as painting an image on paper – but instead of a brush you use Photoshop’s Brush Tool etc.
    Your question is pretty far reaching, so unless you have a more specific question a web search for something like »photoshop painting tutorial« might be a better option than this Forum.

  • Accessing draw & paint AppleWorks docs on a MacBook

    I recently bought a MacBook running 10.4.11, upgrading from a lime clamshell iBook running OS 9.2.2. On the latter, I used AppleWorks 6 for all of my graphic design and graphics editing needs. I have hundreds of files of clip art that I accessed with AppleWorks 6 (though that is not what format they are in), and many, many files I created using AppleWorks 6.
    I cannot install AppleWorks 6 on the MacBook (when I click on the installer, it says it cannot run on this OS). So, my options are... what? Do I buy AppleWorks 6.2 and it will work on this MacBook and work as AppleWorks 6 did? Is there are program that came with my MacBook that will allow me to access all this clipart in various formats, as well as open and edit the artwork I created on AppleWorks 6?
    Very frustrating...

    Hi JC,
    You will need AppleWorks 6.2.4 or AppleWorks 6.2.9 to run well on the MacBook and Tiger.
    You should be able to obtain AW 6.2.4 from Mac Hardcore.
    Although the AW 6 version on your iBook may not run on your MacBook, it can be updated to 6.2.9 before (or after) transferring it to the newer machine.
    You can download the updater from this page. Note that the updater comes in several language versions, including two English versions. The one at the top of the list is the International English version. The US/North American English version is the link in the upper right corner of the page identified only by file size (15.8 MB).
    To transfer AppleWorks to the MacBook requires only moving the entire AppleWorks 6 folder and its contents into the Applications folder on the MacBook via ethernet, a CD, or a flash drive. Do NOT transfer associated files (eg. preferences files). AppleWorks will create new, clean versions of these as it needs them.
    Note that the AppleWorks User Licence authorises installation on only one computer at a time. To remain within the terms of the licence, you should delete the AW 6 folder from the old machine after making the transfer.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How can I get the coordinates to draw a line?

    Hi,
    I want to draw a line. Here is a part of my Quell-code.
    public class Map extends JFrame {
    public Map() {
    super("Map");
    setSize(340, 340);
    MapPane map = new MapPane();
    getContentPane().add(map);
    class MapPane extends JPanel {
    public void paintComponent(Graphics comp) {
    Graphics2D comp2D = (Graphics2D)comp;
    comp2D.drawLine(0,0,340,340);
    Now, the line begins exactly top left in the edge, but ends not exactly down right in the edge of my Frame. Is there any possibility to determine the exact coordinates of the frame. I thought, if the size of the window is set by the setSize-Method to (340,340), the line ends exact
    in the edge (down right). See: comp2D.drawLine(0,0,340,340).
    Can somebody give me a piece of advice, please?
    Thanks, joletaxi

    Have you tried the getWidth() and getHeoght() methods to determine how long the line should be?
