Automatically re-draw lines?
Hi All, I want to know how to do something in Illo CS4 and hope someone here can assist me.
Let's say I have rectangles connected with some lines as in:
and I want to adjust the position of the smaller rectangles to the right to end up with something like, say, this:
is there a way in Illo I can have the lines connected to the rectangles so that when I move the smaller rectangles as a group, the lines automatically stretch/contract while remaining anchored to the larger rectangle? Otherwise it looks like I have to re-draw each line after moving each rectangle.
Any help really greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Paul
The feature, by the way, is commonly called "connector lines." Most drawing programs provide it. Illustrator doesn't.

Creating fancy pdf-files for costumers and other purposes is great. However, if the experimental data include many datapoints (>200000) a line-2d-graph ends up in a very big pdf-file. Especially when many pages need to be used.
Explanation:
When I use lines to show experimental data in 2d-plots the size of my PDF-file is directly influenced by the number of datapoints used. The more datapoints are used to draw lines within the graph, the bigger the exported PDF-files of the report are.
It would be great to limit the number of points used to draw a line as it can be done with markers without using the curve transformation option. - Hence, e.g. plotting a line with the help of 200 datapoints is usually as good as showing the same line based on 200000 datapoints but the pdf-size is significantly reduced. You can imagine that when this would be done via the transformation option a long lasting script would be needed for each line to reduce the number of datapoints shown. Hence, the plotting within the report and the actualisation of data would need very long.
Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.

Exit for automatic creation of line items in VA01
Hello All,
I have a requirement wherein I need to create next blank new line item (with predefined line item no) upon creation of one line item. When user opens sales order creation screen there should be default line item (say line item no 10) created. If user fills data in item 10 & press enter exit should create next line item (say item 20) automatically.
Currently line item get created after user enter item details. I want this to happen before user enters data.
Regards,
Abhijeet moreThere is a customizing for this. You can also make it using MV45AFZZ but really difficult coding. You must debug what system do while you create a line item manually then u need to use every routine which system uses and even there is no error message it's still possible that you'll face with inconsistencies in billing.
I don't suggest you to try this using exit, unless you have 2-3 years SD experience. Best thing to do is inspecting customizing part.

Hi everyone,
Who have a good way to draw lines on SAP form?
I created a Wizard form, and use Rectangle (Height=0) as the two lines between title and bottom button, but I met a problem, when show another form which cover the line, after close this form, some part of lines disappear, I have tried using SAP form refresh, it still can not restore showing line completely, who have good way to workaround the problem or give me another way to draw line.
Thanks in advance!
KathyThe only way I found to get a form looking really close to a standard B1 Wizard form is to use bitmaps. I use 3 - one each for the top, bottom and left hand side. The bitmaps include the line drawing and appropriate pictures/background colours. I normally define these in the XML used to create the form as in the following example:-
<item uid="PTOP" type="117" left="0" width="566" top="0" height="80" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="0" to_pane="0">
<AutoManagedAttribute/>
<specific picture="AZU_SPC_WIZ_TOP2.bmp">
<databind databound="0" table="" alias=""/>
</specific>
</item>
<item uid="PBOT" type="117" left="0" width="566" top="336" height="40" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="0" to_pane="0">
<AutoManagedAttribute/>
<specific picture="AZU_SPC_WIZ_BOT.bmp">
<databind databound="0" table="" alias=""/>
</specific>
</item>
<item uid="PLEFT" type="117" left="0" width="100" top="0" height="336" visible="1" enabled="1" from_pane="1" to_pane="1">
<AutoManagedAttribute/>

SmartForms - draw line in template
Hi!
I am new to SF, so have a question on drawing line in a template. I use template as the data is only printed out once and is static. I have many columns in my template and I would like to draw lines on the columns so that it is tidy & looks nicer.
I double click the template & in the "output options" tab, I checked the check box "line with..", but error prompt out to stop me, saying "Boxes/Shadings are not allowed within a table".
Does anyone know how can I draw lines in a template?
Kindly advise.
best regards,
GinnieHi,
Click on the template under the template tab, and then click on the select pattern just under the template heading , there you use lines.
regards,
Santosh Thorat

hi,
i am new to adobe illustrator cs2.
is there any other method to draw line other than s
setEntirePath().
thanks in advance,Hello David,
It sounds to me like you're witnessing the double edged sword of an incredibly sharp display. The contrast and clarity of LCD displays makes it very easy to see razor-thin lines with ultra fine definition, but this comes at a cost.
Font smoothing (a.k.a. font aliasing) is one example of where most LCDs are so sharp that most people prefer to have their text "fuzzed" up a little bit.
A one pixel wide diagonal line is another example that you've discovered - the display is so sharp that there is no blurring around the "steps" of the line. You can see every change in gradient, because as sharp as your CRT might've been, it was blurring the line just slightly - enough to enhance the illusion that your diagonal line was a line rather than a series of adjacent "steps". No software package that I know of has bothered to implement "line smoothing" yet, probably because you need the detail for accuracy when putting lines together.
Sort of related to this, big screen HDTV plasma and LCD monitors look amazing in the store when tuned to an HD station, but most people would be floored if they say how grainy and pixelated a standard cable signal looks on the same display. It's literally like watching an old VHS tape, because the display is so sharp it resolves detail that is invisible on a "lesser" display.
Neat human trick: get used to working with your LCD, and then go back to the CRT if you have a chance. How does the CRT look? I thought I needed glasses the first time I switched back!

I would like to cut and paste information from a word file onto a pdf file, as well as draw lines onto the pdf file. How can I accomplish that task? Is there software I can purchase?
Hi jgallu7382,
The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
I hope that answers your questions.
Best,

Need to draw line after the 2nd line item(Smart Forms)
Dear Friends,
I need to draw horizontal line after the 2nd line item and 3rd line item in smart forms.How can i achive this.
Plz help.
Edited by: farook shaik on May 19, 2009 8:19 AMThis is what you need to do:
1> In the tables->details section define two line types LT1 and LT2.
2> Come back to tables section pressing the table painter button.
3> Select a line type for which you want to have an underline(say LT2).
a] If the anchor cursor does not come click the draw lines and columns button( the pencil icon nutton)
b] select the line type ( it will become black after selection. Press and hold down ctrl to select
multiple cells.
c] after selection click the lower 'frame button' ( which is right at the top of box and shading).
4> Now goto data section where you have given your internal table name and work area.
a] in the sort criteria put your field POSNR and check the Event on Sort end chk box.
b] you will see an extra node under the main area of the table.
c] Create a table line with the line type LT2 in the node.
d]Also in the Main area add another table line with LT1 as the line type.
5> If POSNR remains unchnged LT1 will be triggered.
6> if Posnr changes then LT2 will be triggered with the underline.
This will suffice your requirement. -
How can get a Graphics to draw line on screen?
How can get a Graphics to draw line on screen?
Now, I can get a Graphics to draw line based on component. For example JPanel, but I want to get a Graphics to draw line on screen.By drawing on the screen, I assume you mean drawing outside the bounds of a top-level window like
JFrame or JDialog. You can't do that. At least, without going native and even then that's a dodgey thing
for any platform to let you do. One thing you can do is simulate it with a robot's screen capture:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class X {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Rectangle bounds = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getMaximumWindowBounds();
BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(bounds);
Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(20));
g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
g2.drawLine(0, 0, bounds.width, bounds.height);
g2.drawLine(bounds.width, 0, 0, bounds.height);
g2.dispose();
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
System.exit(0);
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setUndecorated(true);
f.getContentPane().add(label);
f.setBounds(bounds);
f.setVisible(true);

hi, i wanna draw line chart for some analysis of an image.
how can i do that?? plz help me in that, code would be more
better.thank u.Yes, you can use the code for free and you can include it in your application for free. JFreeChart is and will always be free software.
What's not free is the JFreeChart Developer Guide (a 300 page Acrobat PDF document) and access to the JFreeChart Priority Support Forum. You have to pay for these, if you want them, the idea being that a well-funded project will progress faster than one that relies solely on volunteers.
I get some criticism for taking this "commercial" approach, but I am 100% certain that it has made JFreeChart a better product, so I don't care...
