Can ya...draw a sphere  ...  with lat. and long.  lines

Is there a way to draw a sphere with it's wire frame?
Can I create such a sphere and map a texture underneath the wire frame?
thanks, --guy without a clue on this

Sorry. The batch of scripts I meant to direct to is here:

Bill,
Assuming you are using AICS or CS2, the 3D Effect with Symbol mapping as Gary suggested is fine. I sometimes use both; using the 3D image mapping for the sphere surface, but overlaying it with the grid made by the script. (It so happened I was working on such a thing right when you posted this thread.) Reasons are: It's easy to do "stroke things" (Art Brushes, dashes, etc.) with the grid made by the script, because the paths are all simple ellipses with 4 points...:
...; whereas the 3D mapping route tapers the lat/long lines, and when expanded all the strokes are outlined, even if the Symbol contained simple strokes.
Also, the script results in ellipses spaced as if they were mechanically constructed in an axonometric projection (isometric, dimetric, trimetric), which makes them useful to me for other things, such as sperical "protractors".
For those using AI10, a version of the script without the prompts is here:

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

    Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538     -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
    The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
    Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
    Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
    If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

  • CRXIR2 - A chart with horizontal and vertical lines?

    Good morning,
    Is it possible to create a chart with horizontal and vertical lines?
    I have a chart where the Y-Axis show the percentage and the X-Axis shows a timeline.
    The horizontal line shows the percentage for the points in time.
    Now I would like to mark some special points in time on the X-Axis with a straight vertical line.
    Is there a way to do that?
    Thank you very much in advance
    Christoph

    Hello Usama,
    unfortunatelly I couldn't find that that feature in the basic chart features.
    Also the webpage www.3DGraphics.com doesn't exist and I had no luck to google for 3DGraphics.
    It's a little strange, that it seems to be possible to draw one additional horizontal line with the basic features, but no additional vertical line.
    for example.
    If the main chart would be y=3x+1
    It seems to be possible to draw e.g. y=5
    But I see no chance to draw x=5
    In addition, to make it a little more complicated, I would need to have that dynamically, based on the values of a sql-statement.
    thx
    Christoph

  • Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

    All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines.  I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result.  It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files.  HELP.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
    If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

  • How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

    How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video,  and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?  I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem.  The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
    I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one.  I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

    I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

  • How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

    I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

    How do you want to play the slideshow?  On another computer or on a TV set?
    If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
    If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.  That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.  To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

    Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
    I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
    Malinna
