How do you draw connecting lines in Pages?

I'm trying to draw an exercise: connect the nine dots. I can get the dots—but can't connect them!!
Any ideas?? (I know HOW to connect them, but can't get the lines.)
Thanks

I used the line tool, but can't make it work!!
Clicking the line tool at the bottom of the Shapes button menu brings up the grey box shown above.
Following those instructions to draw the three connected line segments shown:
Place the mouse pointer (pen nib) at point 1. Click (and release).
Move the pointer to point 2. Click (and release).
Move the pointer to point 3. Click (and release).
Move the pointer to point 4. Click (and release).
Press the esc(ape) key.
Done.
My guess is that you either missed the 'and release' part or the 'press escape to finish' part.

  • How do you draw freehand lines like in Paint,I can only draw straight lines

    Hi,
    Im tryin to develop a page where people can practice writing foreign characters using a mouse, I can currently only get straight lines from my code and was wondering what i would have to do for my lines to follow the movements of the user? As this would be more helpful!
    (is it some sort of FOR loop with a repaint() method occuring at a regular interval??)

    was wondering what i would have to do for my lines to follow the movements of the userKeep track of the mouse x and y coordinates starting with mousePressed, continuing with every detected mouseMoved and terminating on mouseReleased. As a new set of coordinates is formed, redraw and repaint!

  • How do you number each line in pages?

    I would like to number each line I a document t I am writing how is it done in pages

    Pages has no numbering facility as such. The work arounds are extremely clumsy.
    Try iText Pro and LibreOffice instead.

    How do I open Connection Line in Pages. It is grayed out in my menu. Thank you!

    As Jerry says:
    Click on (only) 2 floating objects at a time. It sounds like you have more than 2 selected, otherwise you would not even see thee the menu option.

    Close but no cigar.  I just want to draw a one pixel oval but what I get now is a thick oval.  How do I draw a simple line?
    Al
    Wouldn't a one pixel oval be just a dot? Or are you meaning to say you want to draw an oval that has a one pixel wide edge?
    If the latter, then select the oval marque tool, draw your oval, then stroke (edit> stroke) the selection with a one pixel stroke, using the color off your choice.
    To draw a simple line:
    • use the Pencil tool, set the thickness in the options bar. Click where you want the line to start, then move your mouse to where you want the line to stop and shift-click to draw a straight line to that end point. PS will connect the two points with the line. Or you can free hand the line - just click and draw.
    • use the Path tool to draw your line, then pick your brush tool, set the pixel size, pick the color you want as your forground color, then in the Paths pallete drop down, select stroke path and pick the brush tool.
    • use the Line tool, inside the shape tool box. Lots of options, just need to experiement.

  • How to give no of lines per page in alv report

    hi
    could anybody tell me
    how to give no of lines per page in alv report
    i need bottom of page too
    if possible plz send the code too
    it ll be very helpful to me
    thanx
    kals.

    Hi,
    This is possible, using some of the events in the ALV.
    You could use AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT event and call you form after say, a certain line count is reached on the list output.
      MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-name.
      MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-form.
      APPEND gw_event TO gt_events.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
           EXPORTING
                it_events                = gt_events[]
    and define the form for each event as follows - this would be a dynamic call by the ALV.
    *&      Form  after_line_output
    *       Form for the After Line Output Event in the internal table
    *      --> rs_lineinfo
    FORM after_line_output USING rs_lineinfo TYPE slis_lineinfo.
      IF sy-linno eq v_linno.          "Defaulted value for line count
        perform write_footer.
        NEW-PAGE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFORM.                    " after_line_output
    For lines per page:
    rs_lineinfo-tabindex would give you the index of the current line in the list, which you could use to read the t_outtab table, and reduce the line count of items displayed on the earlier page.
    There are a few other events too, like BEFORE_LINE_OUTPUT and END_OF_LIST which you can use as required and print the data.

  • How do you draw a tie of two notes in the score editor window

    How do you draw a simple tie in the score editor window of Logic Pro 10 ; two quarter notes together, an eighth up-beat accross a bar line into the next measure etc? I can't find the answer in videos, help manual.  Please give a step by step how to do it.
    It's hard to believe that a program like Logic, that has more information than the New York Public Library, does not have a simple solution for tieing notes. Maybe Logic XI will have one, or "Logicians" can speak to Sibelius for a more "note-worthy" way to solving the problem so that the score editor can be more accessible for editing purposes for those that read and write manuscript. Lew Traver

    Hi
    Ties are generally automatically created as necessary. Simply adjust the length of the note in the Score (using DurationBars or the Inspector), or in the Piano Roll or Event list.

  • How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

    How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
    Good afternoon everyone...
    THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
    HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
    If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
    A……………………… B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
    A……………………………………………………B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYY
    And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
    A………………………. B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
    A………………… …B…
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    ………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
    My SPECIFIC CASE
    I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
    My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
    Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
    The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
    On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
    On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
    On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
    The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
    All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
    The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
    Can the line be made to WRAP????..
    In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
    1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
    2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
    But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
    I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
    I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
    We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
    Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
    Tony Calabrese.

    Steve,
    you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
    This thing is SO frustrating!
    Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
    I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
    So it looks like:
    &col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
    And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
    And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
    The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
    So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
    ...................................ppppp
    AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
    So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
    I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
    Have you ever come across anything like this?
    Thankyou again,
    Tony Calabrese 12/4/2007

  • How do you draw a road?

    How do you draw a road?
    Looking to draw a road as part
    of a header for a courier website.
    I am using pse 9

    There's something at the bottom of your post, but it does not open.
    Be that as it may, this program is not well suited to drawing.
    You can draw a road scene yourself, if you wish, then scan it, and work further on the scan in PSE.
    You could photograph a road scene, use it for your header with added text.
    If you need help, post it here on the forum page (you can't do it via e-mail), and I'm sure you will receive further input.

  • How do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data?

    how do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data? i've connected my ipad to my phone's internet network through tethering. it's been ages already. but Pages is still not fully updated and i just wanna stop it anyway without losing my work inside...can anyone please shed light on this? i'd be absolutely certainty definitely grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.

  • How do you specify a line number with getline() (c++)

    How do you specify which line for getline() to read with c++ similiar to how awk uses $1, $2, $3 , etc etc...
    Example:(Ignore the underscores)
    Line1 Line2
    10____10
    20____20
    30____30
    40____40
    if I were making a program to remove 10 on the first line and 20 on the second line how would I tell getline which line to read
    Example source code:
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    string line;
    string line2;
    ifstream in("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/infile.txt");
    ofstream out("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/outfile.txt");
    while( getline(in,line) )
    if(line != "10")
    out << line << endl;
    while (getline(in,line2) )
    if(line2 != "20")
    out << line2 << endl;
    in.close();
    out.close();
    remove("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/infile.txt");
    rename("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/outfile.txt","/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/inf ile.txt");
    return 0;
    }

    store the output of a system() command within a c++ program to a string and/or variable
    A number of apps call Unix utilities and capture both stdout and stderr, typically for viewing in a log window, but for other uses as well. Xcode, for example, starts up gcc and does various things with the text that gcc might otherwise print in a Terminal window. Most apps that rely on Unix commands that way don't use "system()", which is a rather crude way of launching utilities that leaves the parent program with very little control. Usually, the best way to manage helper utils from a Cocoa app is by using NSTask and NSPipe. If you spend some time with the two following pages, you'll learn how to do almost anything you want with command line utils from inside a Cocoa app:
    [http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000025.php]
    [http://macosx.com/forums/archive/t-3927.html]
    The first link goes to a great tutorial on using NSTask. Capturing stdout and stderr are only covered briefly towards the end, however. Note the last comment explaining why "system()" is a bad idea.
    The second link goes to a forum thread. Scroll down to the code posted by "blb" for some very clear examples of launching with NSTask and reading the output with NSPipe.
    If you really want to use a shell command, you could give NSTask a command like ' +bash -c "ls -lt | grep drwx"+ ' (see how setArguments: is used in the tutorial).
    If you just want to do something cheap and dirty with "system()" so you can see some awk output while you're learning how to do things the right way, I guess you could do something like this:
    system(" cat ~/random.txt | awk '{print $2}' > MyFile.txt");
    NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:@"MyFile.txt"
    encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    Of course you can just read MyFile.txt into cin if you're not using Cocoa.

  • How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head

    Hello all!
    How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head at the end of the line?

    Yes. Once you select the line bar a new entry will appear where you can select what type of line. Based on my experience whether or not it will change is iffy.
