Dashed lines around graphics

I have little dashed lines that are appearing around all
graphics inserted
into the page. I checked other sites I have created and they
don't have
these lines ... so, it isn't the program in general, it must
be an option
that has turned on ???
Thanks

You're welcome. I turned off the aids for a while as well,
then realized
that they were helpful sometimes in seeing where borders of
items are.
You can pick a div by clicking on its line, or see its
properties by
hovering over the border, for instance.
Good luck,
Harvey

Dashed line around iCal appointment

I have seen this posted in several areas but no solution to be found as of yet. SOMETIMES when I create an appointment in iCal, I get a clear background with a white dotted line around the appointment.
Each time I create an appointment, I invite my wife. I always get a yellow exclamation point before her name (or any name/email I use for invite). SOME appointments have a man with a question mark in the upper right hand corner (these are the ones that have the clear background and dashed line)...
When I create an appointment, invite my wife, one of three things happen:
1) the appointment is created in the appropriate calendar, invitation is sent and I am done. I do not need to wait for her to accept the appointent.
2) the appointment is created, clear background, dashed lines, little man with question mark in upper right hand corner, invitation sent. When she accepts, the color for the calendar fills the appointment and the dashed line is removed.
3) the appointment is created, clear background, dashed lines, little man with question mark in upper right hand corner, invitation IS NOT sent.
HELP! This is frustrating...

Greetings,
The events where the dotted outline and the little man appear, are they part of a calendar in the "ON MY MAC" section of the iCal sidebar on the left hand side or a different section?

Since iOS 6, my calendar app shows many events as gray with a dashed line around them. dont mind the lines, but i want my color coding back so i can distinguish between multiple calendars.

How can I make my ipad show the designated calendar color for events? Have tried using ms exchange and gmail...they look identical. It seems to happen to items I add from my computer or android phone, but not events added from ipad.

Somehow my settings and calendars have gown complicated...I have Microsoft Exchange, Google, AND gmail. What ended up working was switching all of them off, shutting down my ipad, restarting my ipad, and then choosing one of them to switch back on. Now all the colors are correct. Thank you, emdak.

Dashed line showing up on placed psd in indesign

Please help! I created flyer in indesign and placed some PSD graphics into the indesign file. However when those files are placed on top of a "dotted" line—after printed a white "dashed" line appears. (the line does not appear in digital file at all—only in print file, so I had to post a crappy scan, but I think it gets the point across).
Any insight to this issue?
Much Thanks!
Desiree

Okay, another (probably bad) suggestion: Make a new 'rich black' swatch and change all your problem objects to use the new swatch.
This screenshot is using a mix of C=20 M=10 Y=10 K=100 that I threw together for a sample. The left block is the 'rich black' and the right is 100% K only. InDesign displayed both as the same color, but when exported to PDF, the difference was visible (from which the screenshot was captured).
Other mixes I've found referenced elsewhere are:
C=80 M=80 Y=70 K=90
C=35 M=45 Y=35 K=100
C=45 M=35 Y=35 K=100
If you were using an outside vendor, I'd suggest getting in contact with them to find out what their preferred blend is. Otherwise, since you seem ot be doing things in-house, you can make a test page with a variety of mixes to determine which one produces the level of black that you want from your Konica.
If you are using a Mac, you may be able to locate an applescript code on the forums which will allow you to globally change all objects using the [Black] swatch with another swatch in your list.
YMMV

And Peter responded while I was messing around. Lots of combinations.
Aaannnd.. perhaps I should have read the remainder of the posts instead of jumping into this... ^_~
Hope it all helps get this resolved for you, anyway!

How to change draw dashed line with arrowhead (not straight)?

Hi friends,
The following code sinept draws an arrowed line from a given point to the other point. I want to know how it can changed to be dashed line as well? I would appreciate it if anybody help me for doing such changes.
Thanks in advance,

        arrows.add(new Arrow(new Point(300,10), new Point(300,100)));
        arrows.add(new Arrow(new Point(450,450), new Point(400,100)));

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {

Change the draw method as follows:
        public void draw(Graphics2D g) {
            Stroke s = g.getStroke();
            g.setStroke( new BasicStroke( 3.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT,
               BasicStroke.JOIN_MITER, 1.0f, new float[] { 10.0f, 10.0f }, 0.0f ) );
            g.drawLine(start.x, start.y, end.x, end.y);
            g.setStroke( s );
            g.drawPolygon(arrowHead);
            g.fillPolygon(arrowHead);
        }

Whats the easiest way to put a thin line around an image?

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to put a thin line around
an image? I'm also interested in the use of thin lines as part of
the graphic design on a page, how are they generated?
Thanks

This shouldn't be an issue in any used browser today.

Way too complicated. If you want to change the color or style
of the
border, you have to modify the image. With CSS you can
directly change
the line style in a much easier and faster way.

Illustrator CS2 adds mysterious white dashed line thru my linked Photoshop file

Im using Windows XP, Illustrator & Photoshop CS2, Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
I have an illustrator file with a linked PSD file that has this mysterious thin white dashed line going through the entire image & I have no idea what it's from or how to repair it.
My trouble shooting thus far includes:
- In illustrator - I hide all the layers to see if there was an odd graphic on another layer that was causing the line, nothing. I tried to select the dashed line, not possible. I've created a PDF of the file, and the dashed line is in the PDF too (to verify it wasn't just Illustrator). Oddly in both Acrobat & Illustrator when I zoom in & zoom out, the dashes maintain their on-screen viewing proportions (like the dash spaces recalculate to the same tiny thin dashed line no matter what zoom Im at)
- In Photoshop - I zoomed in until I couldn't zoom no more and there is not the slightest dashed line in the graphic.
Lastly, I have this exact linked setup repeated throughout several different files (basically its the same ad but laid out to different dimensions for each)... and none of the others have this mysterious white dashed line.
here's a screen capture from Acrobat... zoomed into 6400%
argh - can someone help? Thanks!
kristin

Hi guys (and sorry for the tremendous delayed response).
No the line doesn't print on my local b/w laser printer. However I have seen the lines print in 1 newspaper publications... (this is out of 50 different publications)
Yes, the image is rotated slightly in illustrator, and I always flatten prior to making the PDF (cuz of the transparency/drop shadow).
It's really making me nervous that ALL our ads have these lines appearing during onscreen viewing... Im making a new batch of ads for our campaign & there are more lines than before!
Any tips theories remedies my friends?

Can not draw a solid line after drawing a dashed line

I have been using a Graphics2D object in order to paint onto a buffered image and then transition that to a panel for viewing. The way the program works requires me to create the dashed line first through BasicStroke. After doing this I have tried to reset the setStroke with multiple new pens including BasicStroke(), BasicStroke(1.0f), and BasicStroke(1.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT, BasicStroke.JOIN_BEVEL, 0.0f, new float[] {1,0}, 0.0f).
Any ideas as to why I am still incapiable of drawing a solid line?

Any ideas as to why I am still incapiable of drawing

Seriously though, you need to create a short, self contained, compilable example. Look here for an explanation on how to create this:

FM10, Dashed Line Pattern

In the Graphics Toolbar of FM10, when I select "Set Dashed Line Pattern", as soon as I select the dashed line, the window closes down, before I get a chance to click "Select" at the bottom of this window. I am thus unable to select the style of dashed line I want to use. Is this a bug in FM10, or am I making a mistake in the way I try to do this action? When I try to click "Selected Dashed Line Pattern" next to it, nothing opens up.

Kathi,
It sounds to me like a misunderstanding of that little pop-up box. It serves two purposes:
Select the dash style using the Set button, which opens the style selection dialog
Select whether the current graphic object will use a solid line or a dashed line using the upper two buttons
The assumed workflow might be this:
Click Select and select the dash style you plan to use most of the time.
Select any graphic object and click either the Dashed Line or Solid Line buttons.
If you want to change the dash style of an already dashed object, select the object and then use the Select button to open the dash settings window and select a new style.

Dashed line with jdk1.1.8?

Hello
Does anyone know how to make dashed lines with jdk 1.1.8? Yes, that means no Graphics 2D nor BasicStoroke class.
Also how do you make the line wider with 1.1.8?
I appreciate any response. Thanks
michiko

int lineLength = 100;
for(int i = 0; i < lineLength ; i = i + 6){
g.drawLine(i,i,i+3,i+3);
how about that?

White line around image

Hi everyone,
I keep getting a white line appear around images I save in
Photoshop and then insert into Dreamweaver. It happens when I also
save text with a transparent background. The text has a very faint
white line around it. Why is this?

Where are you seeing this, in PS? or DW design view or in a
browser?
When you insert your pics in an HTML page with 0 border, do
you still see
the border?
This is not a graphics forum. Adobe has a PS forum at

Dashed lines in windows

I am occasionally getting odd display artifacts in the application windows. The artifacts typically show up as pink dashed lines. I can scroll the lines out of the displayed pane but they are still there when I scroll back.
Any ideas? Are they an indication of impending failure? My G5 iMac is a Rev. 2 (Ambient Light Sensor) that falls into the last set of serial numbers listed under the extended warranty for the logic board/power supply issues.
Thanks
Arne

I ran the TechTool Deluxe application that came with my Apple Care. The RAM test failed. Everything else passed including the video RAM. The Tool then provided a troubleshooting check list I will perform tonight. I will have to boot off of another disc and run the tests again. If I dig out the restore disc for this process, I can also check out the hardware diagnostics.
At least I have my Home directory backed up. It only took a couple of tries. The iMac locked up overnight because the OS crashed. The fans were on full blast and the power light was on steadily. I was able to shut the computer down with the power button since the computer was not responding to the keyboard or mouse.
In any case, the artifacts are still there. And, one fan is starting to sound like a model airplane buzzing around. Oh joy.

Dashed line / dotted line coupon effect? FCPX

Seeing if anyone has any tips or tricks on how to create a dashed line type of effect around an object in a video, making it look like a coupon or like it was cut out of paper?
The line doesn't necessarily progress around the object in the video -- it can be a static layer. Though, if anyone DOES have tips on animating the lines, that could be cool, too!
Thanks in advance.

Familiar with Motion?
Draw a short horizontal line. Select the Anchor point tool and drag the center to the right end of the line you drew. Replicate the line. Change the Arrangement to Outline. In the Cell Controls section, check the Align Angle option.
You will now have a dashed outline rectangle. You can publish the Size parameter and change the size of the rectangle with the Width and Height parameters from Size. You can increase the number of line segments with the Points parameter and you can animate the outline with the Offset parameter (but there's a catch.)
When animating the offset, you will have line segments extend "outside" the base rectangle shape briefly (since they are aligned to the side they are attached to, then snap to another side when the anchor point changes over from one side to the next.)
To get around that, you need to create another rectangle that is 100 by 100 and link the Scale X and Scale Y parameters (separately) to the Width and Height of the Replicator (in the Link behavior, set the Scale to 10 for both.) Drag the rectangle onto the Replicator in the Layers List and hold until you get the popup menu -- select Add Mask to Object. [PS -- you should center the Replicator AND the rectangle before adding the rectangle as a mask!] [You can create a square rectangle then select the Shape > Geometry tab and type in the exact points: (-50, 50); (50, 50); (50, -50); (-50, -50) to create the exact size you need.]
If the mask is perfectly aligned, you can now animate the dashed line and it won't look weird. You can change the width and height of the replicator and the mask will change in perfect synchronization.
You can also make the dashes longer or shorter by manipulating the Scale X parameter in the Cell Controls of the Replicator. If you made the original line white, you can colorize from the Cell Controls as well.
After that, you'll need to figure out if you want a solid color background; a drop zone or effect source/title background; what kind of text you want inside the dashed outline (or you can manually place a Basic Title in FCPX if you like); etc...
Hope this helps... If you need further help with this, let me know.

Dashed Line Problem in CS

I am using Illustrator CS and I draw a lot of origami diagrams.
I have set up a little library of Graphic Styles for the various lines I need to use.
I would like to be able to start and end a line of whatever length and angle on a dash.
see link below;
http://www.itsjustabitofpaper.com/Dotted%20Line%20Problem.htm
Step 1 is what is actually happening and Step 2 is what I want (Step 2 only works because I stretched the background rectangle to fit.)
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Rikki

Yes, that would be useful when you have a dashed line joining itself to form an enclosed area and keeping all the dashes and gaps evenly spaced. But in Rikki's case having only a straight line across a specific distance, my method would be more expedient, time wise that is.

Blue line around active boxes disappears, cannot figure out why....

Hi ... hope you can help me with this, it's a minor irritation but it's driving me nuts. I'm writing a report that has several boxes with imported graphics in it.
The active boxes have a light blue line around it, with tiny clear boxes in the corners and side mid-points. I can drag any of those tiny boxes to resize the image, or use the metrics inspector to enter the dimensions numerically. But sometimes, when I make the boxes larger, the blue line around the active box disappears.
Those blue lines lining the active box are useful for aligning the graphics boxes, so it would be nice if they stopped disappearing on me.
Anyone know why that happens?
Thanks!
shireen,
new to iWorks

I don't have any troubles selecting and aligning text boxes and graphics since I stopped sending them all the way to the back (arrange menu/send to back). There are times when you want them back there but most of the time you don't. Pages uses layers and one of the layers is the default text layer. Anything behind this text layer is difficult to select.
You can select items behind the text layer by clicking in the area outside the margins and drag the pointer over to the graphic without releasing the mouse. If you use the 'send backward' command the object still remains easy to select.
Some objects that have transparent areas (PDF's created from eps files for example) can only be selected by the click and drag method described above or by carefully positioning the pointer over a black or colored area until the pointer turns from a cursor to a pointer.
