Getting a vector halftone from grey vector elements

I'll omit the long background --- suffice it to say I did this once and need to do it again, but can't recall the toolchain / workflow I used.
I _think_ it was Macromedia FreeHand 8, and that I used a plug-in w/in that program, but I can't recall (perhaps someone else could remember what tool I might have used?) --- anyone have a suggestion other than rendering the drawing as a half-toned bitmap and then tracing it? Or re-drawing the image on top of such a bitmap?

There are several methods. You could do a research for the term "vector halftone" on Google. There was an article on bittbox.com some time ago.
They mentioned some web based services and the plugin Scriptographer
Several solutions have also been discussed in this forum - search for posts by JET
And then there's the plugin Phantasm CS that can also convert your raster or vector art into vector halftone dots.

  • Where do I get the serial number from for Photoshop Elements

    Where do I get the serial number from for Photoshop Elements?  I need to use on a new computer as my old computer crashed.  Orignally the program was loaded with a download application online.

    If you registered PSE, go to the main page of adobe.com and look for My Adobe, then work through the links there and you will find a list of your adobe products and their serial numbers.

  • Struts: getting multiple selected values from a select element

    Hi Friends,
    I am a total newbie with struts,I have manage to run a simple login script,
    Now I was wonderingif there is a select box and user has the ability to select multiple values from it how do I get those values in the *Form class
    my select tag looks like this
    <html:select property="listboxValue" mulitple="mulitple">
    ...options--
    </html:select>
    in the ****Form extends ActionForm{....I have setter and getters for getting the value  from select box as below
    public void setListboxValue(String value){
    this.listboxValue = value;
    and the getter is
    public String getListboxValue(){
    return this.listboxValue ;
    please never mind the missing brackets and such.
    What I was hoping to get to work was something like this
    public void setListboxValue(String[] value){
    this.listboxValue = value;
    but that does not work...If I have the an array being passed,it seems like this method is no even envoked
    Please guide me
    Thanks

    I'm having trouble to get in the ActionForm all the selected values in my multiple select. I select all the values by setting to true the selected attribute of all the options in a javascript function. In the ActionForm the variable is String[]. I'm not getting any ClassCastException, but I only receive the first value selected (String array with just one element).
    Select definition:
    <html:select name="detalleConsultaForm" property="destinatarios" multiple="true" size="8" >
    Javascript function:
    function validalistarelacion(campo)
    {   if (campo.length < 1)
    alert("Campo sin valores");
    campo.select();
    return false;
    for (var i = 0; i < campo.length; i++)
    campo.options.selected = true;
    return true;
    ActionForm:
    String[] destinatarios;
    public String[] getDestinatarios() {
    return destinatarios;
    public void setDestinatarios(String[] destinatarios) {
    this.destinatarios = destinatarios;

    Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

  • Why content of a vector element changes when new element added

    in my program, i instantiate 2 Vector objects. one is TV(temporary vector), the other one is V. they all get instances of Class vElement as elements to them(of course, casted to Object first).
    Class vElement only cantains an int n, an int[] array.
    i create a text file: input.txt
    in this text file, there are 2 rows of content:
    1 2 3 1001
    4 5 6 1002
    at the beginning when the program runs, each row of input.txt will be read into a respective instance of vElement, that is, e.g. n = 1001, array = {1, 2, 3}.
    and then the 2 instances would be casted as Objects and added to V as elements
    then TV starts to get a new vElement from some methods generats 7 8 9 1003
    after that, V will add TV's newly-got element as its 3rd element.
    what is dramatical is that, the array of V's 1st element { {1, 2, 3} 1001 } will change to be the same as its 2nd one{{4, 5, 7} 1001 } after the 3rd element added to V from TV, yet, 1001 will not change to be 1102.
    this problem has challenged and tortured me for quite some days. who can help to conquer it?
    thanks a lot more!!

    I had the same problem. I believe this is because Vector stores references of everything it is added into it. My problem was solved by creating a new array everytime I had to add an element to Vector.
    Instead of:
    My_vector.addElement(My_array)
    I did:
    String[ ] Prov_array = new String[My_array.length];
    System.arraycopy(My_array,0,Prov_array, 0,My_array.length);
    My_vector.addElement(Prov_array);
    Might not be the best solution but it solved the problem.

  • The get() of Vector class, is it thread safe??

    Hi all:
    the get() of Vector class, is it thread safe?? I looked into the API, but no info is available, so any help is appreciated

    You just have to look out when you perform two or more methods on the Vector in sucession. Then it's better to lock on the vector itself. If you for instance access the vector to query whether the size is greater than zero and immediately remove an item while another thread is removing elements from the same vector, you might get a dirty read and call get() on the vector while there are no elements left.

  • I can't export vector elements with pdf

    Good morning,
    I have a problem.
    When I import a vector element from illustrator to photoshop with drag, from an application to other, my
    results is a vector element in photoshop (vector smart object).
    If I export in PDF (save as photoshop PDF) my results isn't a vector elements, the text and shape wrote in psd
    yes but the smart object no.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    thank you very much.

    There are a lot of features I would like to request, how about being able to rename a duplicate project.  Anyway, thanks for the answer.  I still can't send even a full project into compressor using the send to compressor button.  I did find I can use the export using compressor settings, then using the advanced menu I get a send to compressor button that does actually send my project to compressor.  I can then select an in and out point and render a small sellection from my timeline.

    If you really want two Vector elements to be stored in one array element you'll have to combine them in some way. String concatenation will do.
    If you mean you'd like to copy all the Vector elements into the array, you'll have to do something like this:
    Vector aList = new Vector();
    // add some elements to aList
    int numNames = aList.size();
    String [] names = new String[numNames];
    for (int i = 0; i < numNames; ++i)
       names[i] = (String)aList.get(i);MOD

  • Something changed on my file and now my vector elements and fonts look pixelated in CS6

    Today an illustrator file with vector objects and fonts that I've been working on for days looked pixelated when enlarging at more than 400%. I couldn't find the fix so I started a new canvas, selected everything from my pixelated file, pasted it into a new canvas and everything transferred correctly so I was able to continue working with my vector elements again.  I was curious if anyone knows what made my vector elements change to pixels and how to fix it.  Thanks guys

    Even on web jobs people do not use that option too often, so really wish they would not assign a keyboard command to that, which is what I suspect happened to you.

  • How to get a value from the previous element (XSLT/XPATH gurus ahoy!)

    Hi All,
    I am building an RTF template for a "letter of reference"-report. Sometimes there are several rows in the data, that need to be printed as one. This is due to consecutive temporary contracts, which will be printed out as one period of service.
    Here's a simplified data example to illustrate the problem.
    <ROW>
    <START_DATE>01-01-1980</START_DATE>
    <END_DATE>01-01-1988</END_DATE>
    </ROW>
    <ROW>
    <START_DATE>01-01-1988</START_DATE>
    <END_DATE>01-01-1990</END_DATE>
    </ROW>
    <ROW>
    <START_DATE>01-01-2000</START_DATE>
    <END_DATE>01-01-2005</END_DATE>
    </ROW>
    With the data above, I should print two lines:
    01-01-1980 - 01-01-1990
    01-01-2000 - 01-01-2005
    I need to compare START_DATE of an element (except for the first one) with the END_DATE of the previous element, to find out whether to print the END_DATE for that element or not. How can I get that value from the previous element?
    Thanks & Regards, Matilda

    use this to get the following End_date
    <?following-sibling::../END_DATE?>
    Try this
    <?for-each:/ROOT/ROW?>
    ==================
    Current StartDate <?START_DATE?>

    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.
