Creating a symbol from shape with gaussian blur = problem

I am trying to create artwork to map to a globe using the 3D revolve effect...the problem is the shape/layer I'm using to create the "glow" effect (compound path filled with white and a gaussian blur applied):
When I create a symbol out of this, here is the problem (note the "excess" areas on the top and right):
...resulting in this messed up globe...
Doing an outer glow effect instead of gaussian blur results in the same thing (its definitely the blur causing this, deleting the shape fixes the problem). Expanding the shape with the blur results in an image the same size as the bounding box in image 2 above. Any ideas how to address this?
thx

Yep, that did it! (something strange going on now with the longitude/latitude lines going thru India, but I'll work on that later)...Thank you!

Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

Hi,
I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <SOAP:Header>
        <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
          <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
          <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>

          <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
        </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
      </SOAP:Header>
      <SOAP:Body>
        <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
      </SOAP:Body>
    </SOAP:Envelope>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
call transformation ('Z_ID')
       source tab = im_t_output[]
       result xml xml_out.
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
    exporting
      text      = xml_out
    tables
      ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
Thanks

Issue with Gaussian Blur and Spot Colors

Wondering if anyone has a solution to this issue.
Setup: We are using CS4 + CS5 Illustrator on Mac OS 10.5.X and 10.6.X
We created a spot color radial gradient filled circle over a background of the same spot color. The gradient went from 100% of the color down to 2%. We then applied a gaussian blur set to 50 pixels so that we had a nice smooth transition from the circle blurring outwards over the background with the blur blending into the spot color background.
The problem arises when we select "Retain Spot Colors" on the blur. It fills the gradient circle with 100% solid color (but at the 2% range of the gradient so it appears white) and deletes the blur effect. If we don't select "Retain Spot Colors", it converts the blur to process and we get a banding on our printouts where the spot background and CMYK gaussian meet.
We tried the gaussian blur set at 5 pixels all the way up to 55 in 10 pixel increments but nothing worked. We tried different spot colors, same issue. We know we can do the background in Photoshop and import it into Illustrator as a workaround, but we are constantly editing and changing files and would like to keep everything in Illustrator.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this or if there is even a solution. We have not tried Illustrator 5.5 and do not want to invest the money in the upgrade yet. We would prefer to stay with both CS4 and CS5.
Thank you for any input.

Hi Mike,
Okay, I have some new information that changes things. I misunderstood what the issue was from the designer. My apologies in advance for the confusion. There are actually two issues but they are somewhat related.
Issue 1:
We are concerned with banding on the outside of a spot color gradient with a gaussian blur over a patterned background of the same spot color. We do not know if this is becasue of the number of pixels on the blur, the version of Illustrator, the blending of the blur into the patterned background, etc... While the banding looks slight on screen it is more pronounced when printed. There are many variables and we have tried everything we can think of to create a smooth transition but we keep getting some banding.
The first image shows what happens when the Preserve Spot Colors in the Raster Effects Settings (found under the Effect menu) is unchecked. We believe that the spot color is being treated as CMYK and causing the blur to be a slightly different color than the spot color background thus causing the banding.
The second image shows what happens when we select Preserve Spot Colors. We lose the blur.
The third image is what we are trying to achieve over a over a patterned background of the same spot color. This was achieved with the Preserve Spot Colors unchecked and also unchecking Overprint Preview in the Separations Preview Palette. However, this brings us right back to the issue with the Preserve Spot Color being unchecked.
Issue 2:
The issue is that we want to print a spot color gradient with a gaussian blur (over 50 pixels). In order to preview the blur effect correctly we have to uncheck the Preserve Spot Colors in the Raster Effects Settings (found under the Effect menu). However, we have recently found out that this will not work with the software our printers use to do separations. If we check the Preserve Spot Color for the separator, it turns the blur into a large square of color (see screensnap below). We have played around with the Add: x Around Object setting in Raster Effects but it has not helped.
3. If we do not select "Preserve Spot Color", the blur looks correct but it is no longer a spot color but CMYK when separated.
I hope that isn't too confusing and makes sense. Again, apologies for the mixup on my part originally. Thanks again for any help.

Create a symbol from placedItem/rasterItem does not work

I need to create symbols in Illustrator CC programmatically from files on on disk. The following code gives an error when adding the symbol and I have no clue why. Any help will be appreciated. According to Adobe Illustrator CC Scripting Reference, a symbol can be added from a source art of type:
CompoundPathItems
GroupItems
MeshItems
NonNativeItems
PageItems
PathItems
RasterItems
SymbolItems
TextFrameItems
Here is the code:
#target illustrator
var activeDoc = app.activeDocument;
var tempLayer = activeDoc.layers.add(); //Layer object reference
var newSymbol; //Symbol object reference
var srcArt; //PlacedItem object reference
var fName; //File name
// create document list from files in selected folder
var selectedFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Please select the folder to be imported:', Folder('~'));
var imageList = selectedFolder.getFiles();
for (var i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
    if (imageList[i] instanceof File) {
        fName = imageList[i].name.toLowerCase();
        if( (fName.indexOf('.eps') == -1) && (fName.indexOf('.png') == -1)) {
            continue; // skip unsupported formats
        else {
            srcArt = activeDoc.placedItems.add(); //Place the image on the artboard
            srcArt.file = imageList[i];
            srcArt.embed();
            activeDoc.symbols.add(srcArt); --> Execution stops here with the message "an Illustrator error occurred: 556099904 ('@i%!')"
            newSymbol.name = fName.substring(0, fName.lastIndexOf(".") );

srcArt is a "PlacedItem", after rasterizing, it disappears and a new "RasterItem" object is created, so you need to get a reference to this newly created object and continue
srcArt.embed();
var embedded = activeDoc.rasterItems[0];
activeDoc.symbols.add(embedded);

Create a proxy from abap with 3 messages parts

Hi,
I am trying to create a proxy from a WSDL file with 3 messages parts:
<wsdl:message name="executeSoapIn">
    <wsdl:part name="farmName" type="s:string"></wsdl:part>
    <wsdl:part name="requestXML" type="s:string"></wsdl:part>
    <wsdl:part name="farmProps" type="s0:Map"></wsdl:part>
</wsdl:message>
This is not possible because it is not fulfilling the SOAP 1.1 standard, so when I try to create the proxy I am getting an error, so no proxy is created.
My question is: Is is possible to create a ABAP proxy manually so the proxy would have the 3 parameters of the messages part?
Thanks in advance.
Eduardo.

Hi,
The problem is that i need to create a proxy with 3 parameters in one of its methods, that is, the method SOAPEXECUTEIN will need the parameters (farmName, requestXML, farmProps), as shown in the piece of code of the WSDL file. I can not do it because the system did not allow me, it allows just one parameter.
Is it possible to create the proxy in some way that allows me the method with the three params?
Thanks Aamir.
Cheers.

How to create PDF files from word with non-selectable content

Hi folks,
I am creating a PDF from a newsletter in Word (using print to Adobe PDF).
I have checked the options available in the printer, but there are none that seem to allow this.
I want to prevent the recipent from being able to click on obvious graphic objects e.g. signatures, within the newsletter and copy them to clipboard. I appreciate you can do this still with a screen capture, but I want to make it difficult.
Is this possible?
TIA

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

Creating mysql schema from pojo with hibernate using netbeans

I have been fortunate in finding some good tutorials on how to create POJOs from database schema using hibernate (e.g. http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/hibernate-webapp.html).
Does anyone know of tutorials on creating database schemas from POJOs -- preferable using netbeans? Even the very smallest tutorial with one table or two related tables will do.

Does anyone know of tutorials on creating database schemas from POJOs -- preferable using netbeans? Even the very smallest tutorial with one table or two related tables will do.Netbeans has little to do with the creation of the schema, it's the container that's usually configured to do it. You can use the "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" property to control whether the DDL is created from the entities automatically.

Can I create a fade from black with Media Encoder?

Camtasia Mac Video flickers with Gaussian Blur

Hi
i did a couple of screen captures with camtasia mac.I exported my videos as 'uncompressed .mov'files.
In PP i added these files to my pal 720*576 project.I use anti flicker( 0.5) to get rid of the interlace flicker that appears unless i use anti flicker.
Anyway so far so good,when i now put Gaussian Blur on my source, the video flickers on my TV.it only flickers when the effect is on.hmmmmmm
Even if i leave it at its default settings(value=0),it flickers.Whyyyyy???????
Just to clarify,the video does not flicker without GB and only anti flicker on
I need GB to blur out some parts of the video.
if sb can explain this to me,i'd be very happy
thx in advance

Vignette with Gaussian Blur

I'm pretty new to PP and could use a tip on achieving the following effect:
I want to vignette to the edges of my video but instead of a darken effect I want a gaussian blur. I assume I need to create a matte and then add the blur but I could use a tip or two about the most effective way to go about this.
Appreciate the help.

You can do this several ways.
Make a white oval in the titler. Superimpose this title over your footage and add the blur. Set it to your liking. Add track matte effect to footage and set it to track 2.
Or use the circle effect on the footage. Size it out to the edges and set it to stencil alfa,
Or make a matte in Photoshop instead of the titler.

Create transparency image from shape

Hi,
I'd like to create the application that create the transparency image from drawing data. the code is as follows.
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(350,350,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = img.createGraphics();
GeneralPath gp = new GeneralPath(GeneralPath.WIND_NON_ZERO);
gp.moveTo(100,100);     gp.lineTo(100,200);
gp.lineTo(200,200);     gp.lineTo(200,100); gp.closePath();
g2.setPaint(Color.yellow);
g2.fill(gp);
g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(2));
g2.setPaint(Color.red);
g2.draw(gp);
File outFile = new File("outimg.png");
ImageIO.write(img,"png",outFile);
I can create the image from such code, but the image is not transparent since the background is all black. What additional coding I need to make it transparent?
Thanks,
Sanphet

1. use a PixelGrabber to convert the image into a pixel array
2. (assuming pixel array called pixelArray) :
if (pixelArray[loopCounter] == 0xFFFFFFFF) { //assuming the black your seeing is not a fully transparent surface
    pixelArray[loopCounter] = pixelArray[loopCounter] & 0x00FFFFFF; //sets alpha channel for all black area to 0, thus making it fully transparent
}3. recreate an Image using MemoryImageSource
I'm sure there is a quicker solution using some built in java functions...but hey, I dont' know it!! :)

Can I create a dll from labview with more that one function name

I know that when I create a dll from C and then call it in labview using the call library function node I can see the different functions on the configuration screen. Is there a way to create a dll in labview to have more than one function name? No matter how many functions happen in my VI it seems to build into a dll under the same function name requiring inputs for every function, can this be avoided somehow?
Thanks,
Dave

Each function corresponds to a separate VI. When creating the dll, on the Source Files tab of the app builder, click the Add Exported VI for each VI that you want. SubVIs of a main are not automatically exported and will not be available as separate function calls.

Gaussian Blur Problem

Hi there
I am having trouble getting the gaussian blur to work properly.
I have an image that is split up into layers using photoshop and I am trying to blur one of the layers. The only problem is that I am getting a white halo round the image as it blurs. My image is a colour image with black lines round it. It is as if the colour is seeping out underneath the black lines as it blurs, even though it's all on the same layer.
The blur does exactly what I want in photoshop, but in Final Cut I have this annoying problem. I can't do the blur ahead of time as I need to animate the blur.
I can't even begin to tell you how amazingly urgent this problem is.
Cheers
Morph

OK. I see the problem you have with white bleeding in.
Here's a different approach:
Click the film frame icon with the A on it at the bottom right of your Viewer.
Choose Matte > Color. Go to the Controls tab and set the color you want.
Press F9 to insert edit or drag to the Canvas.
Open the Effects tab in the Viewer. Video Generators > Shapes > Circle. Press F12 to superimpose on V2 in your Timeline.
Go to the film frame icon again and choose Slug. Switch the source/destination patch button to V2
Press F12 to superimpose on V3. Right click the Slug clip on your Timeline. Go to Composite mode > Travel Matte Luma.
Click the Shape clip to send it to the Viewer. Use the Softness contols to keyframe your blur effect .
My result using the above method:
This took about 30 seconds to set up.

Gaussian blur problem separating backgound, foreground

I want to blur the background of sports photos (still too much in focus even with lens wide open). I put the key player(s) on one layer and the background on another, then apply a Gaussian blur, which gives me a white line where background meets foreground. I can painstakingly rubber stamp extend the edge of the background about 10 pixels behind the foreground and that seems to work, but it's painstakingly slow. Is there a better way or even a plug-in?

Because the player also exists on the background it will grow when blurred and you'll see it peeking around the edges of your subject. I tend to clone the background layer around the edges of the subject before doing the blur (as others said, Lens Blur is better) to avoid what you're seeing. You can also protect that area using a mask. Unfortunately there's no simple button to push...
You could try using the history brush in 'darken' mode and pass it over the offending area. But I think you'll end us with an area that looks less blurred around your subject and that will look fake.

Creating standards-compliant web designs with Fireworks CS4 Problems

Hello,
i have some problems with using background image slices.
here is it(from the DevNet arcticle creating standards
compliant web designs with fireworks cs4):
With this feature, seeing really is believing, so let's get
straight to it:
1. Create a new 500 × 500 document.
2. Draw a 200 × 40 rectangle.
3. Set the background color as #000099.
4. Set its fill to be a Linear gradient.
5. Change the first Gradient node's color to #9999FF.
6. Select Edit > Insert > Rectangular Slice.
7.
Change the following properties In the Property Inspector:
* Name: bg_rect
* Width: 1px
* Type: Background Image
* Repeat: repeat-x
* Horizontal position: left
* Vertical position: top
8. Using the Optimize panel, set the slice's export format
to GIF - Exact.
9. Export as bg_slice.htm using CSS and Images.
10. Locate the file and preview it in your primary browser.
i followed these steps exactly but i get no tiled background
only the 200 x 40 rectangle.can anyone tell me what's wrong ?
Kind Regards,

I followed these steps exactly and also viewed the HTML/CSS
exported in Firefox 3.0.5, and the rectangle appeared with the
correctly tiled gradient background. (I'm on a Win XP SP3 machine.)
I tried changing the canvas color to transparent, moving the
rectangle and slice around, changing the width of the slice, and
even changing the horizontal and vertical positioning of the
background image, and the export was still correct. Is it possible
your background image slice is not placed over the gradient? Have
you looked at the CSS exported to confirm that "bg_rect.gif" is
listed as the background image for the DIV and that the .GIF file
is being exported and is a narrow gradient image? Are all of the
export options correct? (There's only a few export options for CSS
and images (.htm), so I doubt this is your problem...)
At risk of asking the obvious, are you using Fireworks CS4
with the updated CSS/HTML extension from the article installed?
HTML/CSS export works differently between CS3 and CS4 - John
Wylie's extension was created for CS3, and Matt Stow updated it for
CS4.
