Gradually increase space between a series of objects

I have a row of lines all with the same stroke I want to distribute them so the space between each one incrementally increases from one line to the next.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

I can't think of any straightforward way, but here's a roundabout way that may help.
The trick is to think about the spaces between the lines and not about the lines themselves.
Start off by drawing a blend between a thick line and a thin one using Specified Steps.
Next expand the blend and outline the strokes. Ungroup.
Now use the Alignment palette to distribute the spacing between the lines.
Colour the lines white and put them on a black background.
Now it looks like equal black lines with non-equal white spacing.
If you want more than just 'looks like', make a compound of the lines and 'Minus Front' them from the background using Pathfinder.
Here's what it looks like:

How do you add space between the Series Name and the chart?

I'm trying to format a 3D pie chart and the series name is nearly unreadable depending on the angle. I would like to add some space between the series name and the chart.

On my charts, I just select the legends and drag them away from the chart. Hopefully this example helps:

Flex charts: How to increase space between columns?

Hello!
I just added columnWidthRatio: 1; to my mx|ColumnChart to fatten up my columns a little. But now, there's no space between the X axis and columns, and between the columns themselves, so how do I increase this space?
mx|ColumnChart { marginRight: "50"; paddingRight: "50"; } has no effect.
Thanks!
--Dwayne

Somehow setting width="400" did not change anything. I also tried:
mx|ColumnChart { columnWidthRatio: 0.8; width: 1000; columnWidth: 1000; }
to no avail.
Anyhow, I've reduced my columnWidthRatio to 0.8 though as you suggested. It looks better, but I'd still like some more space between the columns.
Thanks!

Contact Sheet X v2.1 - how to increase space between caption & images?

Contact Sheet X v2.1 has been working very well. But I can't find a way to increase the spacing between the captions and the images. They're practically touching. From time to time I need to move elements of the proof sheet. The dialog box for Contact Sheet X v2.1 doesn't appear to have anything to control the distance between caption and image. Does anyone have a solution? Using Photoshop CC, Mac OSX 10.9.5. Thank you.

Space between Items in a Region

Hello,
How do I put a space/whitespace between items in a region?
For example I have to text fields on top of each other, I want to put some space between them without an input field?
Regards,
COlin.

Hi Colin,
there is no need to create additional items to increase spaces.
Beter way to do this ( increase space between two items ) is:
1. In form - go to Edit Page Item of the second item which folows the first one and put in the HTML Table Cell Attributes something like that: style="width:150";
That increase label colon of the second item. You must be attentive that the value must be greater than the text in label of second item is.
2. In report - go to Page Definition -> Report Attributes -> Column Attributes ( of your column ) and than put in the CSS Sytle of Column formating section something like this: width:150px. In this way you would increase you field and in the same way increas space between the columns in report.

Increase distance between objects w/o resizing the objects

Is it posible to increase distance between objects in illustrator cs3 without resizing the individual objects?
For example, I have a series of circles separated from one another by about 20 pixels, aligned into a grid-like formation. I would like to increase or decrease the distance of the circles from one another, without changing the size of the circles themselves.
Thanks,
Regina

As Chris said, use the Distribute functions of the Align Palette. Assume a 5 x 5 array of circles separated by 20 points in each direction. You now want the array spacing to be 30 points.
1. Black Pointer: drag a marquee selection across the top row of 5. Then click once on the leftmost one.
2. Align Palette: Show Options. In the distance field of the Distribute area, enter 30. Click the Distribute Horiizontally button.
3. Select and group each of the other four rows.
4. Select the four rows and one of the top row's circles. Click once again on the selected top row circle.
5. Align Palette: Make sure the 30 value is still there. Click the Distribute Vertically button.

White Space between Objects?

Alright,
I seem to be having a problem to where there is white space between objects and no matter how many times I intersect paths I still have white-space between objects. Obviously if you are making some sort of illustration, even a pixel worth of white space could prove to be problematic. I have provided a screenshot of the problem I am receiving. I cannot move the objects together to fix this problem. May anyone please offer advice or a solution to this issue?
As you can see in the screenshot we are seeing white space between the blue and purple objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all so much!

How to I increase the space between the top of tabs and the frame of the entire window? It was fine until Firefox updated

Hello,
How to I increase the space between the top of tabs and the frame of the entire window? It was fine until Firefox updated and since it updated it reduced the space. Now the space is too thin which makes it more difficult to move the open window frame around when I need to grab something from Desktop. Image attached.

In the image, see how thin the space is right above the tab? It was much wider before Firefox update so if any know how to make it wider again, please let me know. Thank you

Space between multiple objects

Is there a way to alter the space between multiple objects without changing the objects themselves? You know, kind of like inflating/deflating a balloon with dots on the surface (yes, the dots would get bigger/smaller, but I think you get the idea). I've tried Transform>Move>Distance, and Effect>Distort & Transform>Transform>Move>Horizontal/Vertical, but both methods just moved all selected objects away from the origin point - no change to the space between objects. any ideas?

...you'd think there'd be an easier way...
Are you talking about objects that already have equal spaces between them? If so, use the Distribute Spacing function in the Align palette. You can specify the desired horizontal/vertical distance between an array of objects.

Irksome InDesign tool measuring spaces between objects

For the first time today I'm seeing these obtrusive semi-opaque boxes appear whenever I mouse over the space between objects in my InDesign file:
I do not know what these are called, so googling them proved difficult. They appear wherever I move my mouse across the page and are very distracting, so I would like to turn them off. Who here can help solve this deceptively simple problem?

Of course, that tool shouldn't shouldn't retain its appearance when you change tools.
You might try restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:

Why did you increase the space between bookmarks in the bookmark bar

It use to be smaller, so I could get more bookmarks on the browser bookmark bar. There is too much white space between them IMHO.

Increase gap between bars in SSRS 2008 charts

Hi,
I'm converting from Crystal Reports 11 to SSRS 2008. In the reports I have bar charts. In CR11 I could set a gap interval between the bars so there would be some white space between each data element. How can I set a gap interval or create white space between each data bar in the charts. I have tried setting custom attributes on the bars and all it did was adjust the width of the bars. Thanks.

Hi sjmala,
Based on your description, you want to increase a gap interval between the bars in the chart. Just as Jason Thomas said, you can change the value of PointWidth Property to increase or decrease the interval relatively. However if your chart also has Series Group not just Values and Column Groups, the different series chars at one scale on X-Axis will still be side by side without interval after changing the PointWidth Property, to work around this issue, the following detailed steps are for your reference:
1. Right-click the whole chart, and then select the Series Properties.
2. Switch to Border tab, you can set the line attributes of the border on the left side.
3. Select "Default" in the Line style drop-down list and "White" in the Line color drop-down list,
4. Set the value of Line width to '1pt'or '1.5pt'...
5. Click OK, and preview the chart you will see 2*'1pt' or 2*'1.5pt' interval between the chars at the same scale on X-Axis.
The following picture is produced using above steps:

Scrollbar & extra spaces between pages.

Hi All,
Please provide some help on smartforms.
We are facing following problem with smartforms, We have created a smartform having one table with dynamic content.And after this dynamic table we have some static content.Based on the no.of items, the length of the entries in the table varies.If the table entries length increased beyond the page length, then we are getting a scrollbar in the page in which this table is displayed.
We had maintained the page length to the maximum.
And we are also getting some extra spaces between each static content of the smartform.
Regards
Veena.

i already set the margins to the exact limits of the frames.,
have a question:
i have a big non repeating (a lot of repeating and no repeating frame inside.,print object 1st page) in the top of my main section and have a small repeating frame below it (print object last page.,)
does the small repeating frame causes the space? or it doesn't?
