Coloring inside the lines

What is the best way to use Adobe Ink to have color stay inside the lines?
thanks
joe

As no one at Adobe can seem to answer questions these days I will offer the only solution I have found. There doesn't seem to be a way to this but I go in afterwards and clean up lines using slide and the eraser which allows you to erase in a straight edge.

Applying color to the line in a linechart while using a JFreeChart

hi
I had created a line chart using a JFreeChart.It had given its default color to the line,I want to modify the color of the line.How should i do it?

import java.awt.*;

How to automatically build a table with 2 alternated font colors for the lines ?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to automatically build a table with alternate background color and alternate font color for the lines.
I have this particular project (a list of companies of an industrial area) and it is updated twice a year :
I managed to set an automated alternate background color of the lines so this works well (white/blue/white/blue...)
But the font color does not automatically alternates... and I do not know how to set this up...
All the companies are ordered alphabetically so when I have to insert or delete one, the whole text of the table under the modified line is messed up. Then I have unreadable white text on white background and blue text on blue background...
Does anyone have an idea on how to automatically alternate the font color ?
Thank you.
Best regards,
G.

Hi,
I know this [JS] code is awful but it works. If someone wants to correct it …!
At the beginning, you have an Excel file. You play a little with it [doing concatenations] to get, after importing it in ID:

Is it possible to change color on the line strip/code view in CS6?

Hello -
I did some research on this and cant seem to see if this can be done - I was hoping to change the color of the blue line menu on the code view screen.
Eric

I take it you're referring to that vertical line in the left hand side of Code View? I don't think it's possible to change the color. If you disable line numbers (#), it's a bit less noticeable.

Coloring between the lines

hello,
i am having a problem figuring out something out in java. i have to write an app that has the outline of a human body that nurses will "color" certain areas. then i need to calculate what percent of what area was colored( left arm, right arm, etc).
i have the body outline in the form of an .png. i can load the image, copy it to a BufferedImage, render it and draw it back to the screen. the image consists of an all white body with a black outline, on a tan background,
problem #1) i can't seem to find a way to keep the the painting inside the black outline of the body. any suggestions on how to approach this?
problem #2) any advice on calculating the percentage of each area colored would be appreciated.
thanks.

When you're drawing, it should be easy enough to check the pixels you're drawing on, and if they're not white, don't draw. I don't have the API in front of me so I can't tell you how to do that..
I'm not sure how big your image is, but if it isn't huge, it would probably be fast enough to loop through each pixel, check the color and calculate a percentage that way.

Regarding the color of the line of the footnote

Hi I'm using pages 09, - love it!
I'm currently doing a major repport, in where I need to have a specific coloscheme. It works quite well in all aspects, except regaring the black line that occurs when I put in a foot note. So my problem is, how can I change the color of the standardized black line?
Just to sum i up, I have no problem whatsoever of drawing a line in my colorscheme it's only regarding the black line which seperates your acctual text from your foot notes.
Looking forward to hear from you all,
regards
DenmarkC

There isn't any setting regarding the footnote line. What you can do is use a line shape and position it above the footnote line. Copy it and past it on the next page with a footnote and so forth.

How do I change the line color in a line graph?

I used Illustrator to create a line graph. (Not my desired option as I normally import them from R and then edit, but the textbook wanted to show that you can create graphs and edit them in Illustrator)
Anyway, I did all of the editing except that I can't change the color of the line. My assignment requires me to match the textbook example and the textbook does not provide instructions on how to do it. I've done just about any method I can think of and the line still stays light gray. I'm almost willing to just give up and lose the points but something as simple as color can't be this hard, right? Right?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

CR 9 - Need HELP Setting Line Graph colors in the Chart Expert

Post Author: desselle
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello,
I created a Crystal Report (CR) based off an existing Trend Analysis report. I have created a VB6 application that calls the .RPT file I created for the report in CR. The VB6 app sets the report recordset via code that corresponds to the .TTX file, and the parameters . The report contains a Line graph that plots five pieces of data. The report & graph work good. The Problem: CR determines the color of each line on the graph. However, I need to set the color for each line to correspond to the colors used on our existing reports. The users are accustom to a certain color representing a certain set of data on the existing reports.   I have tried everything I can think of and from all documentation I can find, and nothing changes the line colors.   I have tried all of the following:
1.) From the Chart Expert, Option tab, I click the Format button next to Color and setup conditional color settings per each piece of data.   However, when I run the report these conditional color settings are not reflected on the CR graph.     I am using formula fields (based off database fields in the recordset) to produce the report. However, I only see the database fields to use in the conditional color formatting screen and not the formula fields.    I thought this would possibly be the cause why the colors wonu2019t change on the CR, but I canu2019t find a way to make the formula fields show up in the list.
2.)Also, I tried right clicking the individual lines of the graph and change the selected item color, but this didnu2019t change the color either. I do this in Design mode and Preview mode and neither one changes the color of the lines on the graph.
3.)I have also looked into the CR object model to see if I can change the line colors of the graph via code and it doesn't look like I am given this flexibility.
Do you know what I am doing wrong here?   I just want to be able to set the color of each line on the CR graph to the color I want instead of using the default colors. Are there some Hot Fixes that I need to apply to my copy of CR?
Thanks

Hello,
I got the problem fixed w/ the line graph not making the data lines the same color on the report as on the frmPlot graph.   Compare the two screen shots below.   The problem was as follows: When I created the graph (in the Chart Expert) the field u201CReadingDateu201D was not one of the Report Fields, and all the other fields were Report Fields (Reading, LowAlarm, UpperAlarm, LowerLimit, & UpperLimit). See the 3rd screen shot below. ReadingDate does show up as a Report Field now but it wasnu2019t at first.   Originally, this field was only available in the Chart Expert as a recordset field. When I changed this field to be a Report Field, the graph then allowed me to change the data series line colors.   This was not obvious at all.   From the beginning when I setup the graph and passed in the recordset from VB it graphed all of the data series fine.   The colors that the Chart Expert chose for each line just didnu2019t match what was on the frmPlot graph.   Anyway, it is working now.     I can at least say I learned (somethingu2019s to-do and somethingu2019s not to-do) a good bit about Crystal Reports in the process.
Thanks

How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

Hi,
I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
Thanks a lot

To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).

Coloring inside

after updating the illustrator I can not coloring inside the some objects

Are your lines flattened, so that they are embedded on the white background? if so, make the background layer a regular layer, then change it's blend mode to multiply. Put a blank layer below it. Use the magic wand tool or some other tool to select the area you want to color then use Select>Modify>Expand to make your selection slightly larger than the area. You can then paint on the new blank layer, and the top layer will only show the black of your lines.

How to thicken the line in Line Chart?

Post Author: leongcy23
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I created a line chart and everything is smooth. But there is one thing that I'm not satisfied, which is I can't thicken the line of the chart. I try to look for Help, but it didn't show anything. From what I explore and try, I only can enlarge the marker, but not the line.
And another issue is, can I choose the color for the line? Because the report will auto generate the line with color that is not clear which is yellow which border me so much. I wonder is that I can choose the color of the line.
I really appreciate for someone that offer help. Thanks

What version of Crystal are you using? I can click on the line to highlight and then right click to get the option to format line. You can then choose color and line thickness. I'm using Crystal XI. It may take a few trys to highlight the line.. you have to hit it just right but I can't imagine this wasn't available in earlier versions.

How to change color of the caret (text cursor) in a TLFTextField used for input.

This might be a very simple Question, but I have looked and searched everywhere and don't find how to change the color of the caret in a input TextField.
any ideas?
Thank you in forward.

This was driving me crazy, too--and the previous answers did not seem to work. I eventually found that if I click one of the data symbols in the graph in exactly the right spot (see below), it selects only the data symbols and not the line. I can tell this because the little selection dots will be around each data symbol, but no selection dots will be on the line between the data symbols - like the graphic in Yvan's answer. Then and only then will the color symbol in the tool bar show the color of the data symbol, instead of the color of the line. I believe that you then have to first click on the color swatch in the toolbar and then select your color (or choose Show Colors and select from the color tool). Just clicking a color in the crayon box, for example, did not seem to work unless I first clicked on the color swatch in the toolbar, then clicked Show Colors on that dropdown, and +only then+ clicked the crayon or whatever.
_The right spot to click_ seems to be just above the exact center of the data symbol, at least for the diamond shape symbol that I prefer. Sometimes it takes several tries to hit the right spot. If I miss it, the whole line is selected, which is indicated by the little selection dots on the line, between the data symbols. When I click the right spot, those selection dots go away, leaving only the data symbols selected. Then I can change the color, as described above.
I hope this works for you too.

How do I change font inside the Form's text fields

I went through tutorials on lynda.com and succesfuly layed out my form.
However I can not figure out how to make a change from a default Times Roman in the forms fields to a different typeface.
I assigned object styles, followed by paragraph styles but nothing happens. I also can not change font color inside the text fields.
Anyone knows how to change these attributes?

There are literally hundreds and thousands of improvements or changes that could be made to InDesign.
