Help creating this gradient pattern

I'm kinda stumped. Basically I need to create a gradient pattern going from inside (green) to outside (brown) with a small white and yellow step in between. The problem I am having is that I need to follow the pattern of the logo in the middle, but end up with a rectangle on the outside and it needs to be a fluid transition between the colors, kinda like this:
Any advice on how I can get what I am trying to achieve?
Using C3.

Userbak,
Blends like matching Anchor Points.
Presuming the logo pattern has 10 Anchor Points, namely 4 corner ones, 2 top/bottom ones, and 4 at the transition between circular and rectangular parts, you may add 3 matching Anchor Points to each of the horizontal sides of the rectangle, a) one in the middle and b) one on either side; you may move the b) Anchor Points to different (symmetrical) positions, maybe even to coincide with the corner Anchor Points. That may remove the choppiness as much as is possible.
To have one or more colours in between, you may create a stepwise blend with stroke/no fill paths, expand, and create the final blend from that.

Need help recreating this arrow pattern

Hello,
I need to essentially recreate the zig-zag arrow pattern shown in the banner below. I am no photoshop expert and have spent the last couple hours messing around with it, and utilizing Google, but was unable to create a similar arrowhead size. I am not exactly sure how to properly adjust the size of the arrow head and the width separately. I used the line tool and created an arrowhead that way. Then I would try and adjust the Width, Height, and Weight setting on the top panal, but was unable to obtain a similar ratio to the one below. Either the body of the arrow was too thin, or when I tried to thicken it, it caused the arrowhead to become to large. In addition, if you could help explain how to recreate the other lines throughout the banner that would be great. A friend created this banner below for me, but I need to change the color of the arrow and the text.
Can someone please assist me with this? Thanks in advance!

To reiterate what has already been said, the best option for you is to probably just recreate the arrow head as a separate shape. Since the shape is very simple, this is a quick and easy solution
Here's a quick illustration of what Charles mentioned above:
Select the Polygon Tool (if you can't see it, click and hold the Rectangle Tool to access the flyout menu)
Change the Side count to 3
Select your fill color
Then, just click and drag to create your shape
Also, a quick note - if you have access to it, Illustrator is probably a tool better suited to creating this kind of graphic. It lets you fine-tune lines and arrow heads to a greater extent then Photoshop.
Cheers!

Need help Creating a translation pattern that adds dial out digits to incoming calls

I came across an article yesterday and it showed the steps how to fix Missed Call/Received Call numbers so that you can dial them from the menu correctly (auto-add a 9, etc.)?
I tried it this morning and came up with this translation pattern:
voice translation-rule 6
rule 1 /^201\(.*\)/ /8\1/
rule 2 /\(..........\)/ /81\1/
voice translation-profile filter_Incoming
translate calling 6
This translation pattern rule 1 adds the dial out character 8 and strips 201 for local calls. Rule 2 adds dial out character 8 and adds 1 for long distance. The purpose of this translation rule is when the ephone receives the phone call the characters 8 and 1 are added so when you quickly need to redial you do not have to edit the number and add 8 for each call.
I tested the translation-rule:
ROUTER-2911#test voice translation-rule 6 9082121231
Matched with rule 2
Original number: 9082121231     Translated number: 819082121231
Original number type: none      Translated number type: none
Original number plan: none      Translated number plan: none
ROUTER-2911#test voice translation-rule 6 2019121231
Matched with rule 1
Original number: 2019121231     Translated number: 89121231
Original number type: none      Translated number type: none
Original number plan: none      Translated number plan: none
ROUTER-2911#
Issue is I am not sure with my inbound call leg if it can even work. We dial out through the SIP Trunk and the incoming is translated to the AutoAttendant on Cisco Unity Express.
voice translation-rule 1
rule 1 /2015552100/ /2003/
voice translation-profile CUE_Voicemail/AutoAttendant
translate called 1
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description **Incoming Call from SIP Trunk**
translation-profile incoming CUE_Voicemail/AutoAttendant
call-block translation-profile incoming BLOCKED-INCOMING
call-block disconnect-cause incoming call-reject
session protocol sipv2
session target dns:nd01-04.fs.SIPPROVIDER.net
incoming called-number .%
voice-class codec 1
voice-class sip dtmf-relay force rtp-nte
dtmf-relay rtp-nte
no vad
Can what I am trying to do be done with my current setup?

Hi patldmart012,
The dial-peer 9 that you have attached will not be affected by following config
voice translation-rule 6
rule 1 /^201\(.*\)/ /8\1/
rule 2 /\(..........\)/ /81\1/
voice translation-profile filter_Incoming
translate calling 6
Because you have not applied the translation profile "filter_incoming" on the dial-peer.
Could you please provide the exact call flow?
Along with that, If you are facing issue with calls on SIP Trunk, please collect following debugs in a logging buffer and attach the file. I will analyse it and will get back to you.
debug voip ccapi inout
debug ccsip message
debug voice translation
Debug h225 asn1 (If H323 involved)
Debug h245 asn1 (If H323 involved)
Debug MGCP Packets (If MGCP involved)
Also provide the running config of the GW.
These are verbose debugs, so please collect them in the following manner:
Router(config)# service sequence
Router(config)# service timestamps debug datetime msec
Router(config)# logging buffered 30000000 7
Router(config)# no logging con
Router(config)# no logging mon
Router# Clear log
Router# term no mon
<Enable debugs, then wait for issue to occur.>
Router# term len 0
<Enable session capture to txt file in terminal program.>
Router# Undebug all
Router# sh log
Once i have the logs, i will analyse it and will get back to you.

Help Creating an Antenna Pattern from Multiple Files

Hello, I would like some suggestions on how to create a 3-D plot from mulitple data files. In my setup I measure a receive antenna using an HP 8510. The transmitter is stationary but the receive antenna is able to be positioned at different angles. For each angle we sweep the receive antenna in the azimuth axis. So for each azimuth sweep I generate a data file, and each new sweep I roll the antenna in the phi direction. I would like some suggestions on how I would write an application where the user could select the multiple data files and then plot the data in a 3-D plot generating an antenna pattern or some call a volumetric plot.
Thanks,
joe

Hi Joe,
Attached are three vi's to get started with. AzElAntennaPattern generates a dipole antenna pattern (r = sin(theta)) in radius, elevation (theta), azimuth (phi) coordinates. It transforms the coordinates to Cartesian and puts every azimuth sweep into a new row in an array. This creates 3x 2D arrays, one for X, Y and Z, each row an azimuth sweep. These can then be plotted in a 3D parametric graph. Technically the parametric graph accepts spherical coordinates, but it won't draw axes or grids in spherical as far as I can tell. I'm sure it uses the normal spherical coordinates anyway, so best to transform to Cartesian yourself. DipoleWrite, generates azimuth sweep files and puts them into a folder you choose. Choose the folder by pressing the small folder icon before running it. AzElAntennaPatternFromFolder, shows how to read these files back in and plot them. If you post one of your files, I can help with a file reader.
Good luck!

Which tool are you using to create the report Divya?
You may use PIVOT to create the matrix like report.
For Ex;
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT product_code, quantity
FROM pivot_test)
PIVOT (SUM(quantity) AS sum_quantity FOR (product_code) IN ('A' AS a, 'B' AS b, 'C' AS c));
A_SUM_QUANTITY B_SUM_QUANTITY C_SUM_QUANTITY

Need a little help with this factory pattern thing..

Evening all,
I have an assignment to do over easter, before i start i will say i dont want any code or anything so this isnt 'cheating' or whatever..
This was the brief:
A vending machine dispenses tea and coffee, to which may be added milk, and 0, 1 or 2 doses of sugar. When the machine is loaded it initially contains 100 doses of tea, 100 doses of coffee 50 doses of milk and 70 doses of sugar. After it has been in use for a while it may run out one or more items. For example, it may run out of sugar, in which case it would continue to vend tea, coffee, tea with milk, and coffee with milk. Periodically, an attendant recharges the machine to full capacity with doses of coffee, tea, milk and sugar. A user selects the required beverage, selects the required amount of sugar, and selects milk if required. The machine responds with a message telling the user the cost of the drink (coffee is 30P, tea 20P, milk 10P, and sugar 5P per dose). The user inserts coins (the machine accepts 10P and 5P coins), and when the required sum or more has been inserted, the machine dispenses the beverage, and possibly some change.
You are to write a program that simulates the above vending machine. Your solution must use the class factory pattern, and make use of the code templates provided. The user interface should be constructed with a Swing JFrame object.
We were suppled with code for all of the classes required except for the JFrame.. They are as follows:
public abstract class Beverage
int sugar;
boolean milk;
public String getMessage()
    String name = this.getClass().getName();
    String sugarMessage = "";
    if (sugar == 1) sugarMessage = "one sugar";
    if (sugar == 2) sugarMessage = "two sugars";
    if (sugar == 0) sugarMessage = "";
    return "Vended 1 " + name + (milk ? " with milk " : "") + (sugar==1 || sugar == 2 ? (milk ? "and " + sugarMessage : " with " + sugarMessage) : "");

      teas--;
      if (milk) milks--;
      sugars = sugars - sugar;
      return new Tea(sugar, milk);
    return null;
}Okay, well if you read through all that, blimey thanks a lot!.
My question relates to this method in the BeverageFactory class:
public void getCoinCurrentTotal (String o)
    // this is should be executed whenever a user puts a coin into the machine
    int foo = Integer.parseInt(o);
    // to be finished
}I don't understand what the heck its supposed to be for..
I can obtain the current amount of coins inserted from the textbox in the CoinMechanism class. The only thing i could think of, would be for this to enable the 'Vend' button, but it doesnt have access anyway..
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated, I have tried to contact the lecturer but he isnt around over easter i guess..
Many thanks.

I'm not going to read all that, and I don't do GUIs, so this is just a guess, but it looks like the CoinMechanism class is intended to be just a dumb processor to accept coins and determine what each coin's value is, but no to keep a running total.
That in itself is an arguably acceptable design--one class, one job and all that. But I don't know that it makes sense to have the BeverageFactory keep the running total.
Overall, I gotta say, I'm not impressed with your instructor's framework. Maybe it's just because I didn't look at it closely enough, or maybe it's more of a naming problem than a design problem, but it seems to me he's mixing up GUI code with business logic.
Good luck.

Need help creating this Flow map ( Noob)

I'm new here so I apologize if the answer has been mentioned already.
In the Main menu I have Play Movie and Scene Selection.
I have 30 short clips that are easy to make chapters in the Scene Selection.
Question is how do I get all those clips in Scene Selection to play when you select PLAY MOVIE. How would I link or create that flow map.
Thanks I'd Appreciate any help.

I have 30 short clips that are easy to make chapters in the Scene Selection
30 short clips aren't actually 'chapters' - they are really 30 separate movies and each one can only be played by itself with iDVD. DVD SP would give you additional options.
Right now, you would need to combine all 30 clips into one movie in iMovie 6 (NOT iMovie '08) and add the chapter mark links in iMovie HD 6.

Help creating this please!

I have attached two images I have seen on another site. Nothing mind blowing however I really like the glassy look of these.
I always struggle making layers and gradients look convincing and was wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom in recreating this look.
I love the way each background is rich in colour as well as depth and it is that I am having problems with.
Many thanks.
ps, pic are screen captured hence the text looking odd.

Looks like a rectangle with a radial gradient as the first object, then a white oval at about 2% opacity over that. Fireworks .png:
I made a graphic showing how to edit gradient colors some time ago (at least, in CS3). Click on the drop down arrow and select Fill Options.... Then click the Edit button. You use the color chips to set the color of each node and you can also set the opacity of each node. You can add nodes and slide them to narrow portions of the color band.

Help Creating Starburst With Randomized Rays

Check out this background image below (or view larger size at this link:http://i3.campaignmonitor.com/themes/site_themes/default/img/bg_site-home.jpg) . I would like to know how they created the "randomized" effect of the rays behind the gray box. I already know how to make your standard starburst using Abealls auto shape extension, but that creates uniform rays. The rays of light in the below example are seemingly random. I know this can be easily done in Photoshop using filters, but can it not be easily done in Fireworks?

Here's my try ( btw, welcome to the forums! ) and even if it is not random, it is close to the desired effect.
Save the file to your computer and de-construct. I have added a Noise filter effect, a bit of Gaussian blur and there is a half-transparent rectangle on top of the rays, with gradient (rays use gradient, too).
Now, I suppose you could combine two Sunrays autoshapes, slightly shift one of them, make both half-transparent, and apply a bit different effects to both. You could also create a complex vector mask on top of the sunrays, with a complex gradient with varaible areas of half-transparency, and this could help create this "random effect" that you are going after...
I hope that some wiser than me Fireworks guru will be able to help you more...

Need Help in creating this trigger

I need your help to create this trigger. I need to set the default fl in this table depending on various conditions:
If there is only one indvl with end date as null then set the default_pk column for that indvl as 'Y'
ELSE
If there are multiple indvl_pks in this table with NULL end date then set the default_fl column to 'Y' for the indvl_pk with the earliest start date .
ELSE if there are multiple indvls with same start date then set the dflt_fl to 'Y' with the minimum br_pk
I am unable to get this to work due to the mutating trigger problem.
For example in this one rows with emplt_pk with 1001 and 1003 will be set to 'Y'.
create table emplt
emplt_pk number,
indvl_pk number,
start_dt date,
end_dt date,
lct_fl char(1),
sup_fl char(1),
br_pk number,
nro_pk number,
default_fl
char(1) default 'N' );
INSERT
INTO emplt
values(1001, 101, to_date ('01-01-2005', 'MM-DD-YYYY' ), NULL, 'Y','N' ,123,NULL,NULL );
INSERT INTO emplt values(
1002, 101, to_date ('02-01-2005', 'MM-DD-YYYY' ), NULL, 'Y','N' ,NULL,0001,NULL );
INSERT INTO emplt values(

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How do I create this color-picker-HSB gradient?

What seemed trivial at first glance has turned out as quite a challange!
I would like to create a special kind of black/white/alpha gradient to mimic the HSB color picker in Photoshop:
Saturation
0 100
+--------------+ 100
|white.....pure hue|
|.....................| B
|.....................| r
|.....................| i
|.....................| g
|.....................| h
|.....................| t
|.....................| n
|.....................| e
|.....................| s
|.....................| s
|.....................|
|.....black......| 0
+--------------+
I've tried numerous ways of blending screen/multiply, setting gradient smoothing to 0-100%, using layer masks, etc, etc - but when I compare my composite with a screenshot of the Photoshop color picker - I'm still not even close! :-(
Is the gradients non-linear? Is gamma involved?
I downloaded a low-res png-24 of this unique gradient from the internet, but would like to make a hi-res version (and understand how it works!).
Additionally, my layer mask isn't black white but black and pink! I can't wrap my head around that color management thing...
Best,
Robert

Photoshop has not given us a tool to produce gradients in HSB (only RGB). In order to get the color picker slices it does produce, Photoshop itself is obviously able to create HSB gradients.
