Fill shape with a pattern

Hi,
I am drawing some shapes using java.awt.Shape, java.awt.geom.Area and java.awt.geom.GeneralPath and would like to know whether it's possible to fill these closed shapes with a color - or even better - with a pattern.
Thanks!

er, yes, why not?

How to fill shape with pattern... and cut outline?

I have an old plotter that works great for making drawings. I can fill a shape with a pattern, convert the pattern to outlines (or strokes) BUT my problem is that the outline of the original shape remains, and this will be plotted. I do not want an outline of the original shape, I want the pattern to create the shape. Any ideas? Also, shape stroke remains part of the art (even if stroke = none before object/expand/ungroup/divide)

aha!
made scribble
expanded scribble
put shape in front
select all, ctrl+7 (masked scribble to shape)
pathfinder/crop
solved. thanks! sishamDSS!

Fill shape with pen tool

Hi there,
this might be a very simple question, but couldn't figure it out ..
I made a Title in Premiere and I want to draw a shape with the pen tool.
However this only results into a shape with line instead of it being filled.
So my question: how to draw a filled shape in Premiere Pro with the pen tool?
Thanks in advance

Set Graphic Type to Filled Bezier, that will fill the shape.

Fill shape with image

Hi,
I have drawn a curved box and wish to fill it with and image. I'm having trouble with this as the image is a rectangle and the box has curved edges. Is there any way which you can fill the box with the image. It will not matter if edges of the image are cut out.
Thanks in advance

> I'm having problems copying layers.
I take it this is a separate question? (no need to copy layers for what I suggested before)
Highlight a layer in the layers palette, then press CTRL+J (windows) or Command+J (Mac) if you want a duplicate.
Otherwise, highlight the layer, press CTRL+A (windows) or Command+A(Mac) , then CTRL+C (windows) or Command+C (Mac) and then you can paste it where you want.

Fill shape with 2 solid colors

Hi,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to fill a roundRectangle2D with 2 solid colors. For example that 1/3 is blue and the other 2/3 is green? I've looked in the java graphics2D api but can't find anything. GradientPaint isn't what I'm looking for, so is there any other easy option.
Or is it the hard way and you need to draw several shapes on top of each other?
class EventPanel extends JComponent{
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
        Double widthRect = (double) this.getWidth();
        Double heightRect = (double) this.getHeight();
        Double arc = widthRect / 20.0;
        Float strokeSize = 1.0f;
        Double offset = strokeSize / 2.0;
        Double adj = offset * 2;
        RoundRectangle2D.Double roundRect = new RoundRectangle2D.Double(offset, offset, widthRect - adj, heightRect - adj, arc, arc);
        RenderingHints rh = new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        g2.setRenderingHints(rh);
        g2.setPaint(new Color(30, 144, 255, 80));
        g2.fill(roundRect);
        g2.setPaint(Color.BLACK);
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(strokeSize));
        g2.draw(roundRect);
        g2.dispose();

Fill Shape with text

I'm trying to Fill Number 9 with text but I always get this :
I want to have the circle inside without text !
Someone Can help me ?
Sorry Im newbie :/

I know you know a lot more about the internals than I do, Chris, and I hate to be argumentative, but I'm just not seeing the difficulty...
Consider that the text placement code as written today can deal with the following (hastily drawn path).
And as Paulo points out, Photoshop clearly already knows what's "inside" and what's "outside" a complex path.
Emil makes a good point about the readbility suffering if one has to follow it across breaks in the figure...
Still, who's to say whether someone wouldn't come up with a good use for this. Bottom line is this - here you have a user expecting Photoshop to do something that's expected, and it's falling short because of the implementation and not allowing him to express his creativity the way he wants....
This exercise DID bring one new idea to mind possibly for hhtun... Try using a stencil font!

How can I fill mask with pattern?

Hi
Would you please help me? How can a add pattern to a mask? I drew a motion mask on video clip and now I want to fill it with pattern that I made in Photoshop and saved as PSD, what should I do? How can I fill mask with specific pattern?
Thanks for any help

AE doesn't directly support a pattern-fill like PS, so here's a workaround (as Mylenium suggested):
Create a PS document and create a layer filled with the pattern required.
Import the layer/PSD to AE and place in timeline.
Place a copy of the masked layer above the Pattern layer.
On the pattern layer, set the Track Matte to Alpha Matte.

Filling in a shape with a dot pattern

Hi there,
I have this shape of a light which I am trying to fill with a dot pattern but when applied it cuts some of the dots off.
How can I avoid this?
Ideally it would also follow the 3 dimensional shape of the object, like the first picture.
This is correct style of pattern I'm trying to achieve but wrong shape (I did not create this one) :
This is the right shape but wrong pattern style:
Thanks for your help!
Charles

Thanks, I've cleaned up the shape manually as the the tutorial suggested but it still doesn't quiet look right.
Is there a way I can perhaps manipulate the pattern in order to follow to 3D shape whilst keeping the dots round?

Pattern fills with seamless patterns

Hi,
I'm doing some shapes that have a seamless pattern fill & then I want to use the shapes with the sealess pattern fill in another seamless pattern. The only way i see I can do this is by expanding the artwork before dragging it into the swatch palatte. The files are so big illustrator is crashing or the file is near impossible to work with. I love the look of what i'm doing..but the files are too big. Any ideas on a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Jessica

You mean you are trying to make a pattern of objects that already have pattern fills?
I don´t think you can do that.
On the other hand you can easily select one tile of a pattern from an expanded pattern (double click on it with the direct selection tool), copy that and recolour artwork as you wish. Drag to palette for a new pattern.

How can I replace a color with a pattern fill?

Hi everyone, thanks for any responses in advance!
I've created quite a detailed design that works with 4 pixels per cm and 16 colors, canvas size 120x170cm. I'm wanting to replace all of a single color with a pattern, is there a way to do this?
I can replace a color with another flat color by using adjustments etc... but I want to fill the entire of one color area with a pattern instead. The only way I can think to do this would be to use the magic wand tool to select every pixel of the same color, then create a new layer and overlay with a fill of the desired pattern, however as the design is so detailed it would take me an awful long time to select each color!
Can anyone suggest a quicker more efficiant way to do this?
Thanks!

Cannot fill a rectangular shape with Color

HI,
I cannot fill a rectangular shape with color. I know it was working at some point. I checked the ID help, and did a search here with no results.
I have the tool bar set correctly I think (see below). The object isn't behind other objects either, - that I can see. I do see it when I use the scroll bar so it's there somewhere. (see Pink box below).
Any ideas profound or otherwise?
Thenk Yew.

You haven't got 100% transparency applied to it? Then it might appear while scrolling because of a slightly delayed display. That's all I can think of at the moment...
The other thing to try if you suspect an individual document is playing up is to export it to inx or idml and open that. Then another thing is to try replacing your preferences.

Hi ya'll, I'm having problems with patterns. Error 519, what's going on?? URGENT!!! Can't seem to fill layers with user defined patterns

I've never had this problem before, I noticed improvements a few days ago regarding pattern tool but the last few days I've been unable to fill layers with a user defined pattern. This is one of the main reasons I use photoshop and it's giving me a headache!!! I have to turn in some patterns by monday and this is not working, please fix it!!

Filling an object with a pattern without distortion?

I have this camo pattern:
wich already tiles seemlessy but when i turn it into a swatch it won't tile. it distorts the pattern and blows it up instead of using it as is and tiling:
what is the problem here? can i scale it in some option menu? can i control the orientation? im creating a vector based logo, is this the right way to go about filling the object with this pattern?
i want it to be scaled and tiled. what is the best way to go about it? what would u do? thanks in advance

yup i thought so. it HAS to be vector based.
it does not have to be vector, it can be jpeg or gif, but it has to be embedded...as for not using it in a logo, Scott can explain that.
255x247 px
the object is any size as its a vector. How are u filling yours? photoshop then a clipping mask?
I meant the size of the camo image in relation to your vector object, not the actual size in pixels.
in this sample I grabbed a GIF, embedded it, dragged it to the swatches palette, sent the image to back, then filled both the small object and the big object with the gif-embedded swatch, just to illustrate what happens with the size position.

How to draw a shape with line tool then fill with colour

How can i draw a shape with the line tool and then fill it with colour

Click and drag from one anchor point to the next, making sure that each new line segment begins where the last one ended. The Line Tool will snap onto the anchors.
Once you're done creating what looks like a closed path, the lines are still separate objects. To combine them into one path, select them all and press Ctrl/Cmd+J (for Join) or via the menu select Object > Path > Join.
The Pen Tool can be used in a similar manner, but each segment will be a continuation rather than a separate object. The last (closing) click will be indicated by a tiny circle on the mouse pointer.
If you make an open path, Ai will still "fill" it with a fill color by assuming a straight path between the last open anchor points. Individual straight paths, however, such as those drawn by the line tool, have no "inside", so they won't show the fill color even if you have assigned one.
