How to create a tileable line pattern?

Hello,
How can I create a tileable line pattern like the one on the image? (Illustrator CS5)
Is there a more practical way than drawing and duplicating lines? When I do that, and fill a shape with the pattern, I see gaps between tiles. Do you remember the same pattern on Microsoft Word? I want to create that, on Illustrator. Which method should I follow?
Thanks.

Draw a horizontal line and apply a stroke. Duplicate that line exact vertically, apply no fill, no stroke.
Drag both of them into the swatches panel. This is the pattern. Apply to a shape and then rotate only the pattern in your shape.

  • How to create diagonal variable line pattern in CS6?

    Hi guys
    I'm on the brink of insanity with creating my diagonal line pattern. I've tried everything I can think of but the pattern is an absolute mess! I want to create a diagonal line pattern but I want the lines not to be uniform. Basically I've made a group of 3 lines and then one separate line on its own, then to repeat this as the picture below. I've used the distribute function so the distances between the lines is identical everywhere. I've then rotated the whole thing exactly 45 degrees and aligned the lines to fit the bounding box in the "make pattern" mode as shown. Yet the resulting pattern is just a mess of overlap ugliness. All I want is for the pattern to literally look as it does in the image on the left, can someone please tell me how to sucessfully do this in CS6?? Would be eternally grateful!!
    Desired pattern:               Result:

    Never create a line pattern at an angle. It's unnecessary.
    Create the pattern at 90° angles then use Object > Transform > Rotate and tick the "Transform Patterns" option and enter the angle you are after....
    Trying to get angled lines to match in a pattern can take considerable effort. Where as with this method you can create the pattern and rotate it in a matter of minutes. Let Illustrator work for you rather than against you. And, you can rotate to any angle so the pattern will function in multiple ways.

  • How to create a muli line text area using JavaFx

    Hi all,
    Since the preview SDK does not contain TextArea any more, I am wondering how to create a muli line text area using JavaFX. The behaviour of this text area/field should be somehow similar to JTextArea in Swing or StyledTextWidget in SWT.
    Does JavaFX have any support for this? What would be a sensible approach to create such a widget?
    Thanks for your suggestions,
    br michael

    This is a pretty old thread (I know I came across this while searching for something similar recently), but I figured I'd throw this out there in case other people might find this useful. As I write this, JavaFX's latest version is 1.3... which may have added the needed functionality since the last post.
    You can now create a multi-line text area using a TextBox and by specifying the nubmer of lines and setting the "multiline" value to true. It may not offer all of the same functionality as JTextArea, but it did the job for what I needed... newlines by pressing enter, scrollbar if text surpasses height, etc.
    Here's a simple example:
    Group {
       content: [
          TextBox {
             text: "This is a multi-line textbox"
             lines: 10  // <-- this may/may not be necessary depending on your situation. Default is 5.
             multiline: true

  • How to create a multi-line table/column comment

    Can someone tell me how to create a multi-line table or column comment?
    Apparently, the concatenate operator (||) does not work with the COMMENT statement.
    I've searched the Oracle manuals and couldn't find an answer.
    COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS 'i would like to break up this comment into several lines in order to improve readability'; Effectively, this is what I'd like to do (but it doesn't work):
    COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS
      'i would like to break up ' || CHAR(10) ||
      'this comment into several lines ' || CHAR(10) ||
      'in order to improve readability' || CHAR(10); Oracle version is 10.2.0.4

    Why not just

    SQL> comment on table t is 'i would like to break up

    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

  • How to create a stroked line that randomize each stroke color?

    Hi all, I am strating out designing in illustrator and I need help on how to created a stroked line, -----------, with each stroke (  -  )  a different colour, like, each stroke having a different randomized color which differs from the next one.
    Also, I need help on how to mask out parts of a template given to me by my school so i dont infringe that boundary when I add my lines to it. All helps appreciated, thank you.

    Ok thank you for your responses, Monika, I followed your instruction but it isnt working, is there any steps that I might have done wrongly? Here are some screenshots that depicts my problem:
    Here it is after I outline the stroke,
    And here it is when I apply the script:
    However, after I clicked okay, nothing changed and the strokes are still in their original color(yellow) as seen in the first picture. Did I do any steps wrong that result in this outcome? Also I've tried to put 99 instead of 99s and still, it didnt work.

  • How to create a trend line in cfchart?

    I  can create a scatter chart in cfchart - but I do not know how to create  a linear regression trend line in the same chart as a second data  series.
    Kodemonki provided an answer in a forum discussion a few years  ago (http://forums.adobe.com/message/192848#192848).
    But I am not able to make it work (I have a dangerously small  knowledge of coldfusion and statisitcal formulas).
    Can someone tell me  where i put in my to data query variables - such as for a query that  gives results for two data fields, "Item1" and "Item2".
    Thanks!
    Here is Kodemonki's solution:
    <!--- The min setting is a preference based on how you want the data to be displayed. --->
    <!---<cfset min = arrayMin(grabData["value"]) - 5>--->
         <cfset min = 0>
         <cfset max = ceiling(arrayMax(grabData["value"])) + 1>
         <cfset n = grabData.recordCount>
         <cfset sum_x = 0>
         <cfset sum_x2 = 0>
         <cfset sum_xy = 0>
         <cfloop from="1" to="#grabData.RecordCount#" index="i">
              <cfset sum_x = sum_x + i>
              <cfset sum_xy = (i*grabData.value[i]) + sum_xy>
              <cfset sum_x2 = sum_x2 + (i*i)>
         </cfloop>
         <cfset sum_y = arraySum(grabData["value"])>
         <cfset slope = round(((n*sum_xy) - (sum_x*sum_y))/((n*sum_x2) - (sum_x*sum_x)))>
         <cfset intercept = round((sum_y - (slope*sum_x))/n)>
         <cfset best_fit = QueryNew("id, value")>
         <cfloop from="1" to="#grabdata.RecordCount#" index="i">
              <cfset queryAddRow(best_fit)>
              <cfset value = round((slope*i) + intercept)>
              <cfset QuerySetCell(best_fit, "id", grabData.xlabel[i])>

    Have you read the docs for CFCHART, CHCHARTSERIES, etc?  Did you mess around with the example code sufficiently so you understand how the tags work?

  • How to create a new line item automatically in CRMD_ORDER

    Hi,
    While creating a sales order in CRMD_ORDER, after user enters a line item say 'xxxx' and press 'Enter', we need to create a new line item say 'yyyy' dynamically.  Any ways of how to achieve this functionality?
    thanks in advance,
    amar.s

    Hi Amar
    You can use structured products:
    Step1:COMM_PR01
    Open Product xxxx > Relationships > Tab Component > Select Relationship type = STRSET Set > Assing product yyyy
    Step2: IMG > CRM > Transactions > Define Item Categories
    Open you item category and in Structure scope field select option A Single-Level Explosion of structured products
    Step3: IMG >  CRM > Transactions > Define Item Category Determination
    create new entry
    Transaction type =
    Item   category group = Category group of xxxx product
    main item cat = item cat of xxxx product
    item cat =  item cat of yyyy product
    now when you enter product xxxx , product yyyy will be automatically added
    Hope it helps
