Consistent line width?

Hi
This is a really basic question but I am drawing this image and I want the line thickness to remain consistent
I am using a path and applying the charcoal pencil.
At the top where the end of the line meets the start of the line, the end of the line thins.
How can I have the same thickness all the way around please (whilst keeping the charcoal pencil 'look' of the line)?
Many thanks
Ben

Ben,
In addition to what Doug said, you may consider how much or little variation you wish to have, and the overall appearance.
As it is in the image, all the open paths start thin to the left, and the closed path is clearly thinner to the top right an then thicker.
You might make it more consistent by changing the direction of the closed path (Object>Transform>Reflect) and have everything thinner to the right (and you may change where the closed path starts and stops).
In such a drawing I believe the thinning may be a good thing.

Line width on framemaker table

hi there... i've got an issue on generated the framemaker9 - pdf.
First, After generated to pdf, the table line width looks like not consistent. There are some thin and thick.. how must i do to get the table look nice with the all line is thin...
procedure that i use to build the table is ------> Custom ruling and shading - choose from table (apply ruling style)
Second - what is the difference between click or not at convert CMYK to RGB at settings in PDF Setup ? What exactly the function of convert CMYK to RGB ?

Sha,
If you have two separate questions, please create two posts. (Converting CMYK to RGB is the default behaviour of all previous versions of FrameMaker on Windows. Switching off this conversion is supposed to pass through the CMYK data when saving as PDF. Whether you need this or whether it works completely as you need it, you have to test.)
Regarding line widths: Have you printed the page?
Assuming your line with is set to be 0.5pt. With 72pt/inch and 25.4mm/inch you get a theoretical line width of 0.1764mm.
Your screen has a resolution of maybe 96ppi (pixel per inch) so each pixel has a width of 0.2645mm. You can see that with pixels so wide, you can not successfully show 0.1764mm in 100% zoom size. The software (e.g. Adobe Reader) tries its best, but sometimes fails. The human eye is very good at detecting patterns and recognizes even slight changes inside a pattern very easily.
Your printer may have a resolution of 600dpi (dot per inch) so each dot is as tiny as 0.0423mm. This time the printer may use about 4 dots to create the 0.5pt line, with a 1200dpi printer it could be 8 dots.
So in the end what you see is just a technological limitation. If the so-called "Retina" display makes its way into mass market with >300ppi resolution those effects will fade away...

Hi,
What ever text you are sending in the email, create a standard text for it using tcode SO10. In the program use the FM READ_TEXT to get the data into internal table which will be of length 132 char. If you want line widht of 255 chars convert using FM SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE as below,
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      line_width_dst              = '255'
    TABLES
      content_in                  = it_data
      content_out                 = it_mess_att
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_line_width_src_too_long = 1
      err_line_width_dst_too_long = 2
      err_conv_failed             = 3
      OTHERS                      = 4.
Use FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send email.
Hope this will help you.

How to change line width runtime?

Hi,
I want to change line width dynamically or runtime depending on certain conditions.
I had written format trigger on line and used SRW.SET_BORDER_WIDTH but it does not work. so what is other possible solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

In your variable vertical elasticity frame put several fixed vertical elesticity objects (lines, frames, etc.) of different heights. In the runtime, suppress all the objects in their format triggers, but one with the height you need. The objects need to be made invisible by setting their color to white.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

MR,
Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

Line Width in Graph Report

Hi
I am using Reports 9i to build a Simple "Line" Graph. But I am not able to adjust the Plot Line width if the report is printing more than 3 rows. For the first three lines I am able to change the line width using the Options in the PLOT AREA tab. Can anyone let me know how I can adjust the linewidth for all the lines that are plotting in my graph. Please note that the number of lines that are plotted will be dynamic and can vary
Thanks in advance
Chandra Sekhar

hello,
you might want to take a look at our graph FAQ here on OTN. goto otn.oracle.com/products/reports and click on Graph FAQ. there you will find answers to several similar issues. bottom line is, that you most likely will have to define this in the XML definition of the graph, rather than in the wizard.

Scatter plot line width

First off, I'm using the trial version of iWork '09. So I want to eventually put a chart into keynote to present to my colleagues, however, putting the chart up on a projector requires me to have a thicker plot line. So if I use a scatter plot, my axis' turn out great, but I cannot adjust the line's width. I don't want symbols, I just want a line connecting the points. If I use the line chart instead of the scatter, the x-axis displays "Untitled 1, Untitled 2" as the labels. I can't change them to the corresponding numbers which is annoying. I can change everything else fine: axis line width, font size, etc. Its just eh connecting line I'm having trouble with

Actually, found a roundabout way to do this. Have to use line chart and in the x-axis label, you have to insert your formula for what cells you want such as Table 1 :: B212:B912 and just set the category counter to only include one label every so many counts. Kind of a pain, but works. However, can't have only the few tickmarks (should be 5 labels and corresponding 5 tickmarks in my case, but I have 5 labels and 700 tickmarks), all are shown instead. It tacks all of the labels individually, but you can choose which ones are shown, but cannot remove tickmarks... Any ideas?

Why the text field frame's line width cannot be adjusted?

I am now working on a PDF file with some text fields with combo turned on, specifying the number of chars the fields can hold. Their frames' line width is not thick. This is what I want. This is shown in the picture below:
But when I try to preview the PDF, I discover that these fields do not follow what I have specified: no matter what thickness I choose, the frames are always thick. I want them to be thin!
See below:
Why is it so? What should I do? Any ideas are welcomed.

I have sent my form to you to take a look. Thanks for your support!
By the way, I have uninstalled Acrobat 8 and installed Acrobat 9 Pro, but I am facing serious problems. Whenever I open Acrobat I will face an EULA page and if I click "Accept" or "Decline", the whole program will close immediately.
I have googled and added an EULA value (=1, in hex) in the regedit. No effect. I want to uninstall Acrobat 9, and there is NO RECORD in the Install/Uninstall section in the Control Panel. I am using Vista Home Basic.
I am now frustrated. I tried Acrobat 9 and it failed, and now I can't even uninstall it and revert to ver 8.......My God....

Changing line width for more than 5 chart series - Interactive Mode

Hi,
Re: BI Publisher 11.1.1.6.0, Interactive Reports
I have a number of charts with a dynamic number of series based on the number of devices, cpus, network interfaces etc. on a particular system. Is it possible to change the line width for all series? I can change it for the first 5 series as per "Chart Plot Area" properties "Series[1-5] Line Width", however any subsequent series retain the default width.
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Hello,
Which version of APEX are you using?
Go to your Flash Chart attributes - get into your series (click the icon) in the section of Series Query you'll find the maximum rows.

Line width question; Freehand MX

Is it possible to change the line width of all lines in a
document?
I go to Edit > Select > All In Document.
I go to the Properties box and on the Object tab I try to
click Stroke.---, but it is not active.
Thanks for the help.

First, let's get the terminology straight. Strokes (not
lines) can be
applied to paths.
Find & Replace Stroke Width will only replace stroke
widths on objects that
are already stroked. It won't add strokes to non-stroked
objects.
A Hairline stroke is 0.25 pt. wide. If you selected Hairline
as the low end
of the selection range, then strokes smaller than 0.25 pt.
will not be
affected.
Compared with FH9, FHMX adds group-level attributes, so to
stroke every
object at the path level, you will need to Select All and
then Subselect
until you have reached the path level. I have set up a custom
keyboard
shortcut for Edit>Select>Subselect. That allows me to
drill down below group
level.
FH users also need to be aware that groups that have been
scaled after
'Transform as Unit' (TAU) is applied will scale the strokes
according to the
subsequent transformations. If you have unwittingly applied
TAU to groups
you may not see the changes you expect from Find &
Replace Stroke width. I
have unchecked the preference "Groups Transform as Unit by
Default' and use
the Transform as Unit checkbox in the object panel only when
required.

Change line width in Apple Mail?

Is there a way I can change the line width in the e-mails I write? Maybe a plug-in?

Bump.
Are these phantom extra line breaks and vanishing line breaks not occurring to anyone else?
In Mail Preferences > Composing > Responding > Quote the text of the original message
...I tried disabling (unchecking) it, but it doesn't make much difference. Again, the problems occur in the body of a
Message > Reply
...not a newly-created message. I've even pasted the body text into TextWrangler and done a "Zap Gremlins" and "Remove Line Breaks," but after I paste it back into Mail and reset my line breaks like I want, I still get extra and/or removed line endings when I review my sent message.
