How to clear specific sections of canvas with graphics?

Hi all,
Here's what I'm trying to do, I have a canvas and I want to cover it with an opaque cover but clear out certain sections so it looks sort of like a bunch of spotlights.  I can't seem to accomplish this with the graphics object though, I don't see any api to clear out a specific portions of the canvas.  It's basically like making a mask but there's no image.
Thanks in advance.

redraw the graphics excluding the specific section or draw the mask over the specific region

  • How to clear "other" section

    I have deleted the Backups.backupdb folder, and the Backups section is now empty, however, the "other" section has increased, I would like to know how can I delete the other section files related to the backups.

    I would suggest that the Time Machine back-ups be done with an external hard drive. After the back-up is done to the external hard drive, turn off Time Machine. After you power up your lap top again, the back-ups under the disk utility storage window should show zero KB.
    What I have found that the "other" files were, for me anyways, was from my iTunes. I moved my iTunes to an external hard drive because it was over 300 GB and my hard drive is only 500 GB. From what I can gather is this. When you de-select something in iTunes for your iPhone, iPod, or iPad, what was deselected gets "deleted" from the device and goes into the "other" catagory. I am guessing as you are not actually deleting it from iTunes, just a device. Deleting a copy. I only happened to notice this because I have a 3rd party wiping program called BCWipe. And after I had un-selected a couple movies on my iPad and synced, I did a wipe of my trash. In my wipe program window I happened to see a lot of iTunes files with the .trashes extension. So after it was completed I went back to the storage window and you can see below that it cleared it all up. The trash icon in the dock was showing to be empty, even before I wiped the trash.
    I have seen a lot of posts state that there are Pages/Numbers/PDF files that are also stored under the "other" section but I don't think that is true because I have nothing in the stored as other (see below) and just over 27 GB in the Apps. So I believe that these documents are kept within their appropriate application.
    I just want to add that this was using MacBook Pro with Mavericks.

  • How to ID specific printer drivers installed with system?

    Good evening.
    How can I find out what specific printer drivers are installed with my current OS 10.4.11 software?
    It has been updated by the "software update" route since original install by Apple at factory.
    I would like to use my old but bulletproof Epson Color Stylus 600 printer. The Apple support site says that support should be there.
    Thanks for your time.

    Just add the printer. If you did not install printer drivers you can do so from the Optional Installer on the Tiger DVD.

  • How to Clear a A/R GL with Huge line items

    Hi All,
    Could you please suggest a way to solve this issue:
    A/R GL which has more than 90 Million open line items.  We want to clear all the open items in this GL account. 
    Also we use back ground job for program SAPF124 for clearing open items. 
    We would like to know if they is any alternative way for clearing huge open items in GL.
    Appreciate your quick response.
    Thanks
    Prasad

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.  We have this situation for different company codes.  For few company codes we had less number of line items (5 million).  We cleared them with background jobs with different variants. 
    But now the problem is with company code which has 90 Million line items which needs to be cleared.  even if we make the job with different variants.  It takes huge time to clear them (assuming 1 million records per variant). 
    Client is in entertainment industry and we keep getting those line items increased everyday.  I need to clear this GL with less number of records ex:250,000 per variant so that job should not fail. 
    If i create a job with variants each variant consists of 250,000 records, i need to create lot of variants for this.
    I want to know if there is any alternative way of dealing this issue, so that performace of system is not disturbed. 
    Thanks

  • How can I target the background canvas with toolkit for createjs?

    Hello again everyone,
    I have been tooling around a bit with Flash and toolkit for createjs. I am trying to create a navigation menu that plays animated icons when the user mouses over them.
    http://www.thephotoncore.com/navigation.html
    The navigation consists of 8 <li> tags for the main nav buttons and inside each of those tags is a unique canvas element. For some reason, the icons animate ONLY when the mouse hovers over the graphics INSIDE each button and not the container canvas itself. Is there a way for me to start and stop the animation for when the user mouses in and out of the entire canvas element for each button?
    *IDEALY I want the the animation to start and stop for when the user mouses in and out of the <li> tags containing the <canvas> tags. I am not sure if this would work with createjs, but it would be perfect if I could do it that way.*
    Thanks again!
    -DJ

    Let me know if this didn't make any sense. Essentially I want the code to go like:
        this.frame_0 = function() {
            this.stop();
            (*parent <li> of this <canvas> item*).onMouseOver = function() {
                this.gotoAndPlay(1);
            (*parent <li> of this <canvas> item*).onMouseOut = function() {
                this.gotoAndStop(0);
        this.frame_179 = function() {
            this.gotoAndPlay(1);

  • How to show specific colums in tables with debugging

    I don't know if it is possible but I get always very simple if I have to debug with tables that I can't get the fieldvalues that interest me in a column straight away.
    for instance I have a table which contains a field aufnr. only aufnr is field nr 200 in the table. so I have to skip to that field and it is very unhandy.
    is it possible to show just 1 column of a table in debugging ??
    I tried under variables to append it with the fieldname but no succes TA_VBDPR[]-maufnr
    kind regards
    arthur de smidt

    If you are using the New Debugger:
    Open your table in the table control inside the Debugger
    Right Click on the Table Name (not table control) > Services of this Tool
    Select "Change Columns".
    Press Enter
    Select your Column (AUFNR) from the Right Pan to Left Pan.
    Right Click on the Table Name (not table control) > Services of this Tool
    Select "Save Columns".
    Press Enter
    It will retain the order of the columns.
    If you are using the Old Debugger:
    Just type the name of the column in the column name area.
    Regards,
    Naimesh Patel
    the first part works but I can't find the 'Save Columns'
    currently we work with sap gui 6.4 so it is the new debugger but I believe not as fancy as the 7.1 gui has (as I saw at sapteched)
    kind regards

  • How do I create a hyperlink to a specific section of a flash website?

    Ok, I have no experience coding in flash, I just want to
    create links to specific parts of a flash website (website that
    were created by other people, not that I am building). In other
    words, I just want to create the hyperlink that will open a certain
    section of the website - I'm not developing the site and I don't
    want to create links inside the site. Is there any way to do this?
    For example:
    http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/
    is the flash site I want to link to. Wherever I navigate in
    the site, the address never changes in my browser. But I know it is
    possible to get a URL to a specific flash page, because I have seen
    some of the web admins post them.
    For example:
    http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/?section=2&sub=5
    which opens a very specific section of the site. So is there
    anyway for me, an average computer user with no experience in flash
    coding, to get a hyperlink to open a certain section of a flash
    site, or at the least get my browser to display the specific URL
    (that is, the "?section=2&sub=5" part of the address). I use
    firefox, but am willing to try anything or any browser at this
    point.
    Thanks!

    My Flash sites use a section and subSection structure, and
    within the site I use the numbers to display specific areas. But
    it's done internally. I have no code that looks at a query string
    attached to the URL so supplying the numbers to my sites will have
    no effect. The example you give clearly does read parameters passed
    in a query string so if you know the correct numbers (and the param
    names eg 'section') then you can do it.

  • I would like to print a four sided programme, but am having trouble finding out how to organise the sections onto a 17  by 11 paper with the sections in the right order. Any help?

    I would like to print a four sided programme, but am having trouble finding out how to organise the sections onto a 17  by 11 paper with the sections in the right order. Any help?

    If all you are going to do is print double sided and them make
    a single fold reducing the page to 8 1/2 x 11, one side of the
    original 17 x 11 page will be page 4 on the left as you hold
    the page facing you and page 1 on the right, reverse side
    should be printed so top is same as top on the the first side
    and will be page 2 to the left and page 3 to the right. Pick
    up the double sided document with pages 2 and 3 facing you, fold
    left edge to meet right edge; you should now have fold on the left
    with page 1 facing up toward you, turn the page as you normally
    would and pages 2 & 3 should be in order, and one more turn brings
    you to page 4 and the fold should know be on the right. I hope this
    explains clearly enough - if not, post back and some one should
    join in with a better explanation.

  • How to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi ?

    how to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi using lv ? Because i need to add a lot of global variable in this global vi. But you know, if  i manually add them , it will be a much time-costing work. So i want to use someway to auto generate ? Can i ?? Thanks a lot !

    Hi
    what aartjan is saying is the way for you. but you can develop an utility which will actually help you create global variables. To get the details on this just have a look at VI Scripting section on LAVA forum.
    But i would like you to suggest few things
    1. If your programs have so many global variables (Thats why u want utility) then you should take out some time to read about LabVIEW design patterns. I think if programmer follows these practicess he dont need a single global variable.
    2. Their are some other ways to achieve similar functionality as of global variables (Uninitialized Shift Registers, Single Element Qs and so on) but they are much faster than global variables.
    I am Attaching Whatever Resources i am having I will also attach the template of the design pattern i generaly use in short duration

  • How do I clear specific

    Is there a way to clear specific phone #s from the recent #s instead of clearing them all or keeping all?

    Then Apple needs to work on it! One may want to preserve certain #s for reminders while eliminating #s of family & friends that call you frequently everyday. They should have a provision such as in the Text Message section whereby you could check a box for each # you want to delete. How do I convey this to Apple for future software adjustment?
