How to create a live trace object with transparent background?

Hi, I am trying to create a live trace object of my logo in ai. The logo is coming from photoshop on a transperent background, and it is all black. What I want to do is to bring it into ai and make it an object for obvious reasons. The problem I have had is that when I live trace it, the live trace leaves a white background which then overlaps with other objects in my ai file. Is there a way to live trace while preserving the transparent area or possibly better, to not include white space in the live trace? Thanks in advance!

Yep open the properties for live trace (Object>Live Trace>Tracing options). You will find a checkbox for ignore white.

Graphics object with transparent background

Ive been trying to create an image using a graphics object, which i want to have a transparent background. I have been researching on the net and have come up with something like this, but its not really getting the job done. Im still getting an image with a black background. The image will always be 200 by 100 pixels.
public void drawGraph(Graphics2D g,int a,int b, int d)
         Composite oldComp = g.getComposite();
         Composite alphaComp = AlphaComposite.getInstance( AlphaComposite.CLEAR);
         g.setComposite(alphaComp);
         g.fillRect(0,0,200,100);
         g.setComposite(oldComp);

How to create LOV on view object with itself

Hi
My scenario is that I have COUNTRY table with columns Country_Code and Country_Name.
I need to display the Country_Name as selectonechoice. User will select some country name and then I should get the Country_Code associated with the selected Country_Name in Managed bean.
Could you please suggest how to achieve this?
Regards,
Vinod

Hi
My English isn't very good.
create a view obj on COUNTRY table then from Data Control drag&drop view obj as a Single Selection and then select Adf Select One Choice and from there you can select which attribute to display.
in managed bean you can get the Country_Code from the below code:
DCBindingContainer dcBindings =
(DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding iteratorRow =
(DCIteratorBinding)dcBindings.get("iterator name for view obj");
Row row = iteratorRow.getCurrentRow();
System.out.println("row[]=" + row.getAttribute(0));

Creating Thumbnail from an Image with transparent background

Hello,
I want to create a thumbnail image of size 200 x 200 pixels from an image of any size.
As the thumbnail is square, I'm centering the image according to size.
The code I'm using is working fine BUT after centering and resizing original image
and writing it to output file the remaining area is of black color.
I want the background should be transparent.
Code I'm using is not using JAI.
Please suggest me the solution.
the code I'm using is as follows:
public static void makeThumbnail(String inFile, String thumbFile ) throws Exception {
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(inFile);
MediaTracker mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(new Container());
mediaTracker.addImage(image, 0);
mediaTracker.waitForID(0);
int fixedHeight = 200 ;
int fixedWidth = 200 ;
int imageWidth = image.getWidth(null);
int imageHeight = image.getHeight(null);
double imageRatio = 0.25 ;
int thumbHeight = (int)(imageHeight * imageRatio );
int thumbWidth = (int)(imageWidth * imageRatio );
int x = ( fixedWidth - thumbWidth )/2 ;
int y = ( fixedHeight - thumbHeight )/2 ;
System.out.println(thumbHeight + " - " + y );
System.out.println(thumbWidth + " - " + x );
// draw original image to thumbnail image object and
// scale it to the new size on-the-fly
BufferedImage thumbImage = new BufferedImage(fixedWidth, fixedHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D graphics2D = thumbImage.createGraphics();
graphics2D.setColor( new Color( 255, 255, 255, 0) );
int rule = AlphaComposite.SRC_IN ;
AlphaComposite ac = AlphaComposite.getInstance(rule, 0.9f);
graphics2D.setComposite(ac);
graphics2D.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
graphics2D.drawImage(image, x, y, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, null);
// save thumbnail image to OUTFILE
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new    FileOutputStream(thumbFile));
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(thumbImage);
int quality = 60 ;
quality = Math.max(0, Math.min(quality, 100));
param.setQuality((float)quality / 100.0f, false);
encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param);
encoder.encode(thumbImage);
}

Change this line
BufferedImage thumbImage = new BufferedImage(fixedWidth, fixedHeight,
          BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
...to use a BufferedImage type that supports transparency like TYPE_INT_ARGB or TYBE_4BYTE_ABGR (I would recommend the latter since your saving the image).
Also, btw, you're not going to like the quality of the thumbnail if the image is reduced by more then half its size.

Png files with transparent background show black only in firefox for android

I have a wix created site and png files with transparent backgrounds are showing with a black blackground in Firefox for Android. They show transparent in all other browsers I have tried.
I have tried saving the file as a gif, as a smaller png, interlaced, not interlaced, png 8, png24. It still shows black in Firefox for Android.

Hi evelswoman,
Thank you for your question. This sounds like a good one for the web compatibility team. Currently there are some compatibility documentation for background-image here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-image] and more details on background: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background]
Filling a bug with webcompat.com with an example url can go a long way as well, I hope this helps.

Convert live trace object to gradient mesh? Help please! :)

Does anyone have advice on turning a live trace object into a gradient mesh? Or some sort of workaround? We love the live trace tool, but cannot get the mesh to apply to it unless created by the pen tool first. Thanks for any help, using CS5.

Yes Monika has this right.
Ths is wha will happen toyour rt if you are first sucessful in creating shapes and then if you are successful in converting to gradient mesh.
You willlose your strokes and some of your strkes will be in part filed objects.
Best to do the live trace for the ink work and the gradient mesh as separate shaphes, but I do not think it is ncessary to lose you strokes by using tham ads clipping paths I think simply placing the gradient mesh objects behind the line work will do the trick.
Sort of like this

How do i live trace without the white background

Im using cs3 photoshop and illustrator.
I want an object lived traced in illustrator without an white background colour.
I selected the object and cut it in photoshop and put it in a window with a transparant background, i saved it and opened it in illustrator, than it comes up without a background, but when i live trace it a white background comes up.

You first have to expand the art, then proceed with the magic wand. Or select one white objekt with direct select and use Select > Same > fill color

HELP! PDF objects - How to create a program line object?

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how to create a Program lines object (icon cog wheels). I need to create additional coding inside the context tab but when I try to right click on a folder --> create -->graphic,address,text,alternative...single record... No
program lines can be created.
Hope someone could help me.
Thanks,
Jeff

There are two ways of doing it, depending on what you want to accomplish. Both require that you edit the file ~/.bashrc (I assume you use bash)
1) If the application places all the executable files in a given directory (let's say /opt/Application/bin/), you can access all those executables directly by simply telling your shell where to look (in the same way the shell automatically looks for executable files in eg. /usr/bin). In ~/.bashrc, you would have to add a line that looks like this:
PATH="$PATH:/opt/Application/bin"
2) If you just want to make a traditional "shortcut" that executes a given command, this can be done with alias. Add this command to your ~/.bashrc:
alias shortcut="some command"
In this case, typing shortcut into a terminal will be interpreted just like if you had typed some command instead.
In order to try out these changes, either restart your terminal or run this command:
source ~/.bashrc

I was obviously beaten to it

Hi
Make sure you have filled OBKEY.
OBJKEY must have the corresponding sort field for the values named below :-
1. QMEL - Notification header
2. QMFE - Notification item
3. QMUR - Notification cause
4. QMSM - Notification task
5. QMMA - Notification action
The combination of sort field of item/cause, item/task and item/action must be unique within a notification. If you leave the sort field empty and the OBJTYP = QME, then a long text is created for the notification header.

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE

Hello,
I try implement the scenario described in "How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE".
Once I am using the "Insert Function" from the panel and selecting the EVTIM function Excel crashes (see page 8 How to paper).
Systems:
BPC 7.0 NW SP02
Office 2007
BPCADminClient and BPCOfficeClient up to date
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks
Oktay

Hi Oktay -
This function works in my BPC70NW SP02 system. Your issue might be that you are trying to access a TIME member that does not exist. Please make sure the offset value is a valid dimension member.
I can confirm that EVTIM does allow the offset for base members (such as 2009.MAY) as well as parent nodes (such as 2009.Q1 or 2008.TOTAL)... BUT...the offset result of the EVTIM function needs to be a valid dimension member!

Sheldon
