Clearing multiple images

hey everyone, I'm working on a game that involves making a "map" (a frame with a bunch of images, organized into a grid)
if I am using paint() and code similar to this:
(pretend width and imageW are already defined)
for (int x = 0; x < width; x += imageW) {
for (int y = 0; y < height; y += imageH) {
g.drawImage(tileImage, x, y, this);
now, how would I clear the window, then load in new images?

for (int x = 0; x < width; x += imageW) {
for (int y = 0; y < height; y += imageH) {
g.drawImage(tileImage, x, y, this);
}This looks to draw the one image in mosic. (A single image drawn over and over again). Is that what you want?
now, how would I clear the window, then load in new
images?clear the window with drawRect( Color.WHITE, 0,0,width,height);
I'm not 100% sure of what you are after. I'm guessing you you are after scrolling? If so you want an offsetx and an offsety. Or are you after something else?

  • How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

    I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
    In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
    I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
    Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
    Thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
    Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

  • How to Watermark multiple images with different dimensions in Photoshop ?

    Is there any way that I can place a watermark on the right bottom of multiple images, no matter what dimension the images are? I have tried using Photoshop Scripts > image processor, but it works only for images of same dimension. I want to put watermark on multiple images of different dimensions. This is the output i got.
    For the first image the watermark got placed correctly, but for the second image watermark got distracted. As you can clearly see the dimensions are different. Please suggest me some solution.

    Open an image to watermark. We must have this open before we start recording an action or else it will keep opening this image and watermarking it over and over again.
    In Photoshop go to Windows >> Actions
    At the bottom of the Actions Palette you will see a little folder icon, click on it and create a new folder to hold you action in.
    Once you have a folder to hold your action we need to hit the Create New Action button (next to the new folder Icon we just used.)
    Give our new action a name and set a function key (if required.)
    If the record button is not already depressed which it should be by default, hit it now to start recording our action. (located near the folder icon again but this time to the left)
    Now that our action is recording go to File >> Place
    When the dialog box comes up navigate to your previously created watermark file.
    Hit the Place button
    Position the watermark as you would normally have it (default is dead center) and hit enter.
    Go to File >> Save as,navigate to where you want your watermarked images to finish up and hit save. DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME if you do when you play the batch it will name all the files it saves the same over-writing each other.
    Close the image we just watermarked.
    when a save dialog comes up do not save the image.
    On the Actions Palette hit stop recording.
    Our Action is now recorded.
    To process an entire folder of images we go to File >> Automate >> Batch
    Select the folder in which your images are currently
    Select the folder you wish to save the watermarked copies too.
    Hit OK
    Photoshop is now watermarking all the Images in the selected folder for you.

  • How do I apply a preset to multiple images at once?

    I'm almost embarassed to ask this, because it seems so simple. But I'm new to LR and need some help.
    I want to apply a preset (exmample, a preset that resembles film) to multiple images at once. (similar to batch editing in Photoshop) but I want want the white balance etc to necessarily be the same, obviously. Please help!

    Select all of your thumbnails in the develop module film strip or in the library prior to going into develop. Then turn on Auto-Sync. Any adjustment you make to your first image will be repeated on all of the selected images. Or just perfect your first image and choose sync. You will see a pop-up dialog and you can choose exactly which develop settings you wish to sync e.g. white balance only or white balance and other settings.
    To be clear Auto-sync will apply all develop settings on the fly to all selected images.
    Sync will apply the settings from the first selected image to all of the subsequently selected images unless you choose exceptions. For example you may wish to apply exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows from your perfected image but not the crop settings.
    Don't forget to turn off Auto-Sync when you have finished otherwise it will affect future editing.
    P.S. There is no such thing as an embarrassing question. The beginners forum is designed entirely for that purpose.

  • MDM: Search for images in the dialog window "Select Multiple Images"

    Hi,
    are there possibilities to search for images in the dialog window "Select Multiple Images" (if you want to add a image to a record)?
    I know the possibilities to sort the images and the possibilities with the data groups. But I don't know a possibilities to search for a single image.
    Thanks for any help!
    Best regards, Melanie

    Hi,
          From the question you asked; its not much clear what your clear requirement is; but if its what i get then the solution is:
          How is that you want to select the image? With Image view or By viewing the image itself ? For it when u select "Select Multiple Images" you can find two as "Available Images" and "Selected Images" and in between u can find some buttons, after "All, Add, Remove and None" you can find two buttons "Thumb Nail" and "view Details". I think you can use these buttons for your solution.
          When you select "Thumb Nail" button you can see the image in real and select the image.  OR you can select "View Details" and check the file name or path or the requirement as required.

  • When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 on Mac, how do I delete all selected photos?

    Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
    Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
    When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 RC on my Mac, using the Filmstrip view, how do I delete all selected files using a shortcut (as opposed to the right-click context-menu > remove selected photos)? Details: Using backspace asks me if I want to delete it, I choose from disk, but it just deletes individual photos, so if I have 3 selected, I need to do this 3 times.

    Many users (including me) will thank you for saving us the trouble of looking for this description in the manual. Seriously!
    However, if something performs unexpectedly, if it's not a bug, it's at least a user-inconvenience.
    When an unexpected result like this occurs in a product, often the documentation writer is given the task of writing the workaround into the docs. That's not a great way to fix bugs permanently, even if it does help in the short term. So, it's probably a good idea to point to where in the documentation it seems that the product-performance problem is smoothed over, when filing the report/request.
    Feature enhancement requests and bugs are filed the same way. And, developers do listen to requests. Many features in many Adobe products originated in feature requests. However, product managers and, financial-management folks above them, who have some power to decide where to expend resources, set the priorities. Adobe's new subscription model is supposed to release some of the pressure on developers to meet a new release deadline every-so-often, where a whole bunch of product improvements is revealed, and instead, under the idea of making constant improvements available through more-frequent updates, users will get results sooner.

    As far as I know, this is not a bug, this is a feature of Lightroom (although I can't explain why anyone would want Lightroom to operate this way). You can find text in the Lightroom Manual that clearly explains tha operations performed on selection of photos in the Filmstrip is different than the same operation performed on photos selected in the Grid.

  • Applying settings preset to multiple images in ACR v4.3

    When attempting to apply a preset to multiple images in ACR, the preset is only applied to the "current" or "active" image. The other images in the thumbnail pane remain unchanged, even though they are selected. This function works correctly in Bridge, but not in ACR. "Synchronizing" the files does not do the same thing, as my preset incorporates "Apply auto tone adjustments." What am I missing?

    Pardon my misunderstanding of the question. I just tried it, and the method of selecting the images has no impact (e.g., the "select all" button, or hold "shift" or "ctrl" and click on multiple images...)
    All the boxes are checked in the "synchronize" dialog. However, this synchronizes all of the settings to the "active image," which ties the tone adjustments to that image, which is undesirable. I just want to automatically adjust the tones (as part of my preset) to all of the selected images.
    Based upon input from this tread, this is the refined procedure I use to "check" if it's working (which hasn't for me so far):
    1) Select multiple images (or all, if you prefer)
    2) Apply "camera raw defaults" Note that the settings default to Blacks: +5, Brightness: +50, Contrast: +25
    3) Apply a saved preset (saved with the check box "Apply auto tone adjustments" checked).
    4) Note that the Blacks, Brightness, and Contrast sliders only "adjust" for the "active" image, but don't change for the other selections. They remain at Blacks: +5, Brightness: +50, Contrast: +25
    Again, if I perform this procedure in Bridge, it works for all selected images. However, in ACR, it functions as described above.
    Does that clear it up?
    Thanks for the prompt responses so far. I hope I'm simply doing something incorrectly!

  • Selecting Multiple Images

    Recently something strange started happening ...
    When I select multiple images there used to be a white line around everyone selected and a bolder white line around what I call the primary ...
    Ok, so now, when I select multiple, eg 100, images and try to apply a keyword to them all, it only applies it to one ... the others no longer have the thin white border that denotes selected, only the primary gets the action to ... this also applies to ratings but not to deletes or moves ... in the thumbnail area both white borders are there ... what did I change ???
    thanks in adavance as this has frustrated me for a little while now ... and culminated with me wanting to apply the same change to 3K images ...

    Easy answer--I hope. This has hit a bunch of us at one time or another.
    Here's my educated guess: "Primary Only" got selected somehow. There's three ways I know of this could have happened:
    1. The command-key is simply "s". Therefore it's easy to toggle it and not know it.
    2. The icon is the bottom left set of five, the fifth icon. That also toggles it.
    3. Under the "Edit" menu it's "Toggle Primary Only"
    Use any of those methods to toggle it back off and see if the problem clears up! I hope so...it stumped me for awhile also...
    FWIW, "Primary Only" is a mode that applies keyword and other changes to only the primary selection, even if a bunch are selected. The primary is the selected item with the thickest white line around it.

  • Multiple Image Storage

    Hi all,
    I need to store multiple images into the database. I am using stored procedure for the same.
    I am passing image as byte[] and since i have to store multiple images at one go, I am just switching between my Java code and the database procedure for each image.
    And in each rotation, the record is committed.
    I have a small problem here.
    If I have a total of 5 images and if the 4th image was not stored b'coz of some reason; so.. i'll have the other 4 images stored successfully.
    I was actually thinking of a way to store all the images or none.
    I hope i made my problem clear.
    I had posted an issue earlier. Pls refer to this link:
    Reg: Stroring multiple images in a single transaction
    After some browsing, I found that bytes sent inside an XML might get corrupted. And I need to encode the bytes to character data to send in XML.
    But, if i encode this byte[] in my java program, how do I decode this image character data inside the stored procedure?
    I surfed for this on the net... but could not get much info.
    And I was asked not to use dbms_lob at all.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks n Regards,
    Edited by: user637029 on Feb 24, 2013 12:15 AM

    To address the question regarding "store all the images or none at all"
    that's easy: don't commit in between the loading of the images. Then it will be a single transaction which can be either committed or rolled back.
    And I was asked not to use dbms_lob at alllike I said before today: forget about the idea of a database independent application with a single code base.

  • Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture?

    Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture?  For example, search for 'Image2.jpg, Image3.jpg, Image5.jpg' by image name, out of different folders? 

    dusan -- your best procedure is likely to be to type the first file name (without extension) in the search field of the Photos View, and then mark that file either with a Flag or a color label.  (You might clear all Flags prior.)  If you have a lot of images or a slow computer (or both ) you may have to wait a few seconds.  Aperture will show "Loading ... " on the left side of the tool strip while it churns through your images.
    Then hit backspace twice, and type "60".  Mark the file found.
    Repeat with variations.
    Then go to Flagged view, or filter the whole Photos view for the color-label you used.

  • Adding keywords to multiple images - Help!

    I'm getting really frustrated. I've been a long time iPhoto user, but my husband bought me Aperture and I'm trying to move to it. . . .anyway, I'm trying to add keywords to some of my pictures (I miss my "hot keys"). I have the Keyword Controls open on the bottom of the split view window and I've set up a variety of keyword preset lists. . . Anyway, the problem that I am having is when I select multiple images to apply a keyword to, it is only applying the keyword to the "primary" (meaning the boldly outlined in white) image - even though the other images as selected (outlined in a less bold white boarder) the keywords are not assigned to them. It's like I have to add the keywords to each image one at a time. I've looked at a bunch of the material online and it's clear to me that you are SUPPOSED to be able to add keywords to multiple images at a time. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks for the tip, it was really bugging me! Pitty you cant just click on the Keyword in the display rather than have to drag and drop it! I know you can use the control bar but for each item here I think a max of 12 or so are displayed, when you use hundreds of keyword to catalog medical images its not very handy, iphoto was much easier in this regard!
    cheers

  • Efficient loading and rendering of multiple images: Need advice

    I have an application that allows the user to customize and display full-screen consoles of various information. The console can have a background image. Additionally, the console can contain any number of components...one of which is a "Image" component.
    Both the console background and the image component can refer to multiple images...if multiple images are referenced, the displayed image switches every X seconds.
    The application has a repository into which users can load their images so that they are managed by the app.
    Now, my problem:
    In the old version of my application, I loaded ALL images into memory at startup and when users added them to the repository. This way, each image was available for display very quickly. When it needed to be displayed, I'd just scale it appropriately and display it. Problem is that this used a LOT of memory...I have the full image in memory AND the scaled image in memory.
    In the newer version of my application, I now load images from disk on demand. When an image needs to be displayed, it's loaded from disk, scaled and displayed. This uses MUCH less memory...but I'm finding that it's slow and can block my user interface from updating...
    I guess I'm probably looking at something in between where I cache the images that MIGHT be displayed by a console. That's better than loading ALL images into memory, and it's better than ALWAYS going to disk. It's just a matter of the logic around finding out what images need to be loaded...loading them in a background thread, blah blah blah.
    Anyone had to deal with a problem like this? Any suggestions?
    Here's my class that acts as the proxy to the image on disk:
    public class ImageProxy extends PersistentComponent {
         public static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
         public static final String PROP_URL = "URL";
         private URL url;
         public ImageProxy (URL url, String name) throws InstantiationException {
              this.setName(name);
              this.setURL(url);
         public void setURL (URL url) {
              URL oldURL = this.url;
              this.url = url;
              this.changes.firePropertyChange(PROP_URL, oldURL, url);
         public static ImageProxy createImageProxy(File file, XMLParseLog parseLog)
                   throws InstantiationException {
              parseLog.inform("Creating new image");
              parseLog.right();
              ImageProxy newImageProxy = null;
              try {
                   newImageProxy = new ImageProxy(file.toURL(), file.getName());
                   newImageProxy.setSizeOnDisk(file.length());
                   newImageProxy.setLastModified(new Date(file.lastModified()));
              } catch (InstantiationException e) {
                   parseLog.error(e.getMessage());
                   parseLog.left();
                   throw e;
              } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                   parseLog.error(e.getMessage());
                   parseLog.left();
                   throw new InstantiationException(e.getMessage());
              parseLog.left();
              return newImageProxy;
          * Returns the theImage.
          * @return ImageIcon
         public BufferedImage getImage() {
              try {
                   return ImageIO.read(this.url);
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   return new BufferedImage(100,100,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
         public URL getURL() {
              return url;
    }The other option (and it's an easier option) I was thinking of was to have the image proxy class cache the BufferedImage itself upon the first request.
    That way, only used images are loaded into memory. I could also then have a thread that would occasionally sweep through all the image proxies and clear out the buffered images of the ones that haven't been requested in X minutes.

    I had a similar problem, but with prepared SQL statements--Our solution was similar to your last comment. Without going into the details, we basically made a circular queue that cached the prepared statements, in the system we were using a the time you could only have a set number of prepared statements--and it was not very many, the queue had an aging function so when we had to have a new prepared statement we would use the handle to the one that had the most ancient last referenced time. In this manner we made sure that those statements that were being referenced frequently were the ones that were available.
    This does have a few weaknesses:
    1 - you still have to stringently manage your limited resources, in your case you're going
    to have to tune and do trial and error to find that sweet spot to balance your app.
    2 - if you have a bunch of 1 timers, then there is no benefit.

  • Help with loading multiple images via LoadVars

    Hello everybody.
    I need a hand loading multiple images using the LoadVars
    method with a text file. I can get it to load 1 image but not
    anymore than that. I am aware of other methods like using
    components but I am looking for a method where I can access and
    change all data from 1 text file (there will be text variable text
    within the file aswell to, but I am more concerned with the images
    at the moment).
    Anyway on to the issue. I have created a much simple .fla
    file that outlines my problem.
    The movie contains 3 layers:
    - top layer contains AS
    - middle layer contains an empty movie clip with the
    instance name of mcImage1
    - bottom layer contains an empy movie clip with the instance
    name of mcImage2
    The AS layer contains the following code:
    imagedata = new LoadVars()
    imagedata.load("data.txt")
    imagedata.onLoad = function(ok){
    if(ok){
    mcImage1.loadMovie(this.Image1)
    mcImage2.loadMovie(this.Image2)
    } else trace("Problem Loading")
    In the same folder of my .swf file I have a text file called
    data.txt which contains the following
    &Image1=image1.gif
    &Image2=image2.gif
    Also in the same folder of my .swf file I have two images
    image1.gif and image2.gif.
    When I run the flash the image2.gif is imported correctly.
    image1.gif does not appear.
    You can download my source files and all images here

    Any help that can be shed on this problem is much
    appreciated.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Glad to help. It is just that I see so many folks who have
    two different parts of a problem smushed together – each
    problem isn't so hard on its own, but together they are difficult
    to wrap your head around. Always try and break down each step of
    the problem and it will help you in the end.
    That being said, I'm not quite so sure on this next problem.
    I don't do so much timeline stuff along with the Actionscript. I
    can get tricky. So this I don't quite have as much of clear mental
    picture of what you are describing. But here are some questions
    that I would ask – either of myself if I was doing it or of
    you.
    Is there a stop() on frame one to wait for the
    LoadVars.onLoad? Does the onLoad then say to play?
    If not, what happens if we get to Frame 10 before the
    LoadVars has even finished? That could be a problem.
    Remember that the LoadVars object is an actual object that
    will exist until it is deleted or removed in various ways. You can
    access it at any time after it is loaded. The onLoad event handler
    is just that thing you want to happen immediately after it is
    loaded.
    So my design would probably be.
    LoadVars on Frame 1.
    Where I am stopped.
    In the onLoad handler load the first image and tell the
    timeline to play
    On frame 10, the LoadVars object will still exist (unless
    you've deleted it)
    Get the variable out of the LoadVars and load the image.
    If you want to check this. Put a stop() in frame 10 and run
    it in the testing environment. When it gets to that frame, go to
    the debug menu and List Variables. You should see that your
    LoadVars object is still there.
    Does that answer your question or am I totally missing the
    point?

  • Bringing in Multiple Images Together?

    Hi everybody. Is there any way of bringing in multiple images at the same time into a HTML page in Dreamweaver? I am trying to place about 70 small thumb nails on the same page. At the moment I have to bring them all in, one at a time, which takes forever! If you could just select a folder and bring all the images in that folder in to your page together, ordered as they are in the folder that would be a lot quicker. Thanks for your help.

    Copy & paste this code into a new, blank document.  SaveAs gallery_test.php.  Change php code to point to your Gallery/thumbs and Gallery/slides.  If you don't have a local testing server, upload to your remote site to test.

  • How do I stop iWeb outputting multiple image files? It makes my site slow!

    I'm a professional web designer (but don't let that put you off) who uses Dreamweaver and also handcodes HTML & CSS websites at work on a PC, but having got a new Mac for home use I thought I'd give iWeb a go for a personal site hosted on .Mac, showcasing my music and film efforts, that I didn't want to have to think about coding.
    I've built a short little site using the attractive 'Travel' theme, just 5 or 6 pages so far, and have not yet added any multimedia content. However, it seemed to take ages to upload it when I published it to .Mac. So then I went to view it, and it was soooo sloooow to download each page, even on my 4mb cable connection. I know it's a fairly graphically-rich theme, but still!
    I noticed that it was redrawing the navigation menu each time... and upon close inspection of the HTML code using Safari's 'View Source' to my horror I found out that that each page has a seperate '_files' folder that contains multiple versions of files that are also used in other pages - including navigation buttons and background images. I also saw that every element has styling applied to it 'inline' in the code, rather than in a single seperate style-sheet.
    To confirm this I published it to a folder on my hard drive and checked it all out. What a mess!
    As a WYSIWYG web page editor iWeb is great but it's an undisputable fact that the HTML markup and CSS code it produces is absolutely appaling. What's worse though is that it also renders whole swaithes of text as images and that it does create seperate folders for each pages content including images, CSS code and navigation buttons - so even though the same images and code are used throughout the site for the background and buttons and layout, they are written out as seperate files and have to be reloaded with every page!!!
    This means that the .Mac server must be getting hammered and webpages are very slow to download and slow to render in Safari - it's almost like dialup when I'm viewing my iWebsite, and like I said, I've got a 4mb cable connection!
    Looking at the code iWeb produces, it is good to see that tables are not used for layout, and that's one thing in its favour. But surely the whole point of providing 'themed' templates for users is that the same content is used across the site and therefore doesn't need to be created multiple times - one of the benefits of using CSS stylesheets. Why doesn't iWeb create a single stylesheet and make efficient use of repeated images instead of creating multiple instances of the same file for each page?
    Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I've missed. If so, let me know someone!
    It is a great WYSIWYG editor, but behind the scenes it's not efficient, it's not clean and simple and it's certainly not attractive - and I'm surprised at that coming from Apple! I know iWeb is a great tool for beginners and I'm a picky professional, but if I was Joe Public First Time Web Designer I'd be very annoyed by this.
    Clean it up and sort it out Mr Jobs!
    PS: Also, where does iWeb store the website whilst it's in production? I can't find it anywhere?

    Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
    If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
    Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
    Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!

    You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.
