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!

Hi,

your going to chase your tail with that "solution".
Select all (ctrl+a)(cmd+a) and set Text Wrap to none as shown.
The item could be on a master page or a locked layer, but you indicate you were able to modify the wrap attributes...

I want to save a shape with text as a picture

I am using Word for Mac. I want to combine images with text and save it all together as a picture or jpeg file. I am using a shape and inserted the images and added the text. I know I have done this before but I can't remember what I did. I thought it had to do with how the shape is formatted, but I have tried all the options and the option to "save as picture" is never available. I also tried inserting shapes and texts together in a text box. I tried grouping everything. I hope one of you brilliant people can help! Thanks.

I am using Word for Mac. I want to combine images with text and save it all together as a picture or jpeg file.
You could try a detour via a PDF document and Preview:
In Word use "File > Print" and press the "PDF" button in the lower left corner. Then select "Open in Preview". This will open your image in Preview. There you can crop it and export the cropped image as a png file or a jpeg using "File > Export". Select a different format in the "Format" pop-up menu:

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 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?

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();
    }Similar to this: Example Don't mind the quality. Not good at art.

I want to reference a cell from another table and fill it with text

I I have several tables that update each other with data from the previous one. These tables are identical and follow each other by date. In each table is a cell (B1) where a persons name goes. the cell (B2) references another cell from a previous dated table. Some days, consecutively, no name is entered in to cell B1. I want cell B2 to always refer back to the most recent table with a name is cell B1. How can this be done?
I have written this formula (applied to cell B2 of this example) already: IF(Day 1::B1="","",IF(Day 1::B1≥"",Day 1::B1)) but it only references the previous days table and stops there. Some days nothing is inputed into cell B1 causing causing the following days table cell B2 to show "0".

"I am having trouble getting the formulas you suggested to work. I am not sure where the problem is coming from. Could you look at the following spreadsheet and tell me where I am going wrong? The following pic shows Day 1 and AUX tables. In Day 1 cell B1 a Drivers name is entered. As you can see by the formula that you gave the B2 is for "Product" not the drivers name "David"."
Hi br,
The formulas provided above apply directly to the set of tables shown with them. In each of these tables, the target cell, containing the name of the driver for that day is cell B2 on the table for that day.
For Day 1, the driver is Huey, found in cell B2 of Table 1, and the cell reference to retrieve the information from that cell is =Table 1::B2
The formula in B2 of Aux uses INDIRECT to build that cell reference from the fixed text string "Table ", the calculated value ROW()-1, and the text string "::B2"
ROW() returns the number of the row in which the function sits. In B2, that's row 2, and ROW() returns 2. -1 subtracts 1 from that value, leaving 1. In B2, ROW()-1 returns 1.
The ampersand is the concatenation operator. It joins the value before it to the value following it. The result is a text string. in the INDIRECT part of the formula, there are two & operators, one after "Table ", the other after ROW()-1.
"Table " & ROW()-1 & "::B2" with the result of ROW()-1 as the value between the two text strings.
"Table " & 1 & "::B2" = "Table 1::B2"
INDIRECT( ) takes that text and converts it to the cell address that it represents.
B2: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Table "&ROW()-1&"::B2"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Table "&ROW()-1&"::B2"))
The first instance on the string in the formula is a test to see if there is anything in the target cell. If not, the formula returns a null string. If there is at least 1 character there, the second instance of INDIRECT is called on to return the name to B2 of the table Aux.
Compare your formula below:
B4: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day 3"&ROW()-1&"::B2"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day 3"&ROW()-1&"::B2"))
As shown, this is the formula in B4 of your Aux table. In Row 4, ROW() returns 4, and ROW()-1 returns 3.
So the three elements of the cell address constructed in INDIRECT are "Day 3", 3, and "::B2"
The cell being addressed is "Day 33::B2", cell B2 on the table named Day 33.
The error results from there being no table with that name.
The fix (to the table part of the reference) is to change the first text string to "Day " (including the space after the word Day).
The fix to replace Product with the driver name is to change "::B2" to ::B1"
To fit the names of your day tables and the location of the driver's name on each, your formula in B2 should read:
B2: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day "&ROW()-1&"::B1"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day "&ROW()-1&"::B1"))

Removing filled box with text

Hi,
I have a script, which makes a filled box and writes there text. I want that at the script end it would remove it. Script runs on a program. Program has some scripts. So if I'll use other scripts I'll have that filled box, which at that time I'll won't need.
I have in:
     public void onRepaint(Graphics g)
          //code
     )The code:
               int x = 18;
               int y = 108;
               g.setColor(BLACK);
               g.fill3DRect(14, 108, 219, 214, true);
               g.setColor(GREEN);
               g.drawString("script", x, y += 15);I need that in:
public void onFinish() {}It would remove it. Can you solve this problem, please?

Yes, but none of that code is yours is it?
Take a brief read through the Java Tutorial and you'll know how to do it too.

Re: Closed Path with Text

I hope this is a simple enough question and someone can help me out!
I created a closed path with the pen tool. Then I filled it with text using the 'Text Area Type Tool'. Now I would like to use the closed path as a Shape (in order to fill with color) and I'm not able to reverse it from a Text Shape.
Is there a way to copy the Text Shape and convert it back to a regular path Shape?
Thanks so much for your help! I have a bunch of these Text paths that I would like to fill with color.
~Owen

With the Group Selection Tool (the white arrow with the + sign next to it), drag over a portion of the path enclosing the area text, or click on the path, to select the path without selecting the text itself. You may then copy and paste (or paste behind, etc.) and then fill or stroke the path.

Max,
Open your picture fileAccess the cookie cutter tool in the toolbox. On the tool's option bar, click on the fly-out for the crop shapes. Select the circular shape (it's all black). Hold down the shift key on the keyboard and drag out the circle to embrace what you wish to retain. You can drag the circle to adjust further, then crop.
To add text, get the type tool and type the text. This will be on a separate layer. Note that there are areas of transparency (checkerboard pattern) outside the circlular area.
Use the Paintbucket tool to fill these areas. The tool uses the foreground color.
Another option would be to place a layer below the circle layer and fill it with a pattern or whatever you want.
Feel free to repost if this is not clear.

How to create Clipping Masks with Shapes and Text?

Hi there! I am new to Illustrator and am currently attempting to learn it. I am creating a logo that has text and has a shape that goes through the text to make the text appear as if it has claw marks in it.
I have two layers. The layer with the shape "claw" marks, and a layer with the text. The shape layer is currently above and the text layer is currently below. If I select both layers and click on Make Clipping Mask it has the text displayed within the little claw marks, how do I reverse that? Because when I try to change the order of the layers it doesn't clip anything?
Thank you so much!
Aaron

Hi Monika,
Sorry for taking so long to reply... This is what I am trying to accomplish. I tried following your directions above, but that only made the text invisible and I tried moving the claw layers above and below the text... and it only appeared as if the claws per se were filling up with the text color.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

PE 7- Help with Filling Shapes

Having trouble with something pretty basic (I thought)...
How do I fill a shape (rectangle, circle, etc) that I create on a Title from the toolbar?
When I select one of the shape tools, I can create one in the Title area but I can't figure out how to fill it with color.
Tried COLOR PROPERTIES but FILL is not 'active'.
Appreciate some enlightenment on this.
Thanks!
John
sr71 -at- comcast.net

My mistake... OOPS!
I selected a TITLE that must have had a transparent background (BLUENOTES_LWR_THIRD).
I usually start by selecting any TITLE then deleting the default graphics in it to create a black b/g.
From there, I make copies of the b/g and use those for my custom titles (Intro, end, etc.) which I add TEXT to.
Once I selected GENERIC1_TITLE, and deleted the default graphics, I was able to add RECTANGLE to it
and modify the fill color.
I know there's probably an easier/better way to create titles; just haven't had the time to 'explore' more.
Thanks for the quick reply!
John
