How To Create Gradient Horizontally, Top to Bottom

Within Illustrator CS4, I created a rectangle.
Is it possible to fill the rectangle using a gradient with the gradient occurring from the top of the rectangle towards the bottom edge, essentially having long strips of color from left to right within the rectangle?
It appears that the gradient tool fills in the rectangle using vertical bars, and I would like to have long horizontal strips.
Is there some way to rotate the fill so the gradient happens in the other direction?

look in your gradient panel - window -> gradient
That middle field with the 0 in it is the angle of your gradient. you want 90˚ or -90˚

How to create gradient mask in CS3 ?

Is it possible to create gradient mask without programming?
It is important
that Flash document must be created in version 9 and AS3. I
tried to use
blend modes alpha/erase but they makes object invisible
(cache as bitmap was
on and off - every combination of 2 used objects).
Flash document used for test cosist of 2 MCs:
- top layer: contains MC with filled by gradient rectangle.
First color is
black with alpha 100%, second color is black with alpha 0%.
- bottom layer: MC containing photo
I want object on top layer to be a gradient mask.

How can I print the top and bottom halves of 11x17 PDF on 8.5x11?

I have a multi-page 11x17 PDF of quiz cards designed to be printed double-sided so that a question appears on one side and the answer on the other side. (Page 1 has the questions; page 2 has the answers.) My printer is 8.5x11 so I would like to print the top half of 11x17 page 1 onto 8.5x11 page 1 and the bottom half of 11x17 page 1 onto 8.5x11 page 2. Then I will flip the 8.5x11 pages over and repeat the process, this time printing 11x17 page 2.
Is there a way to print the top and bottom halves of an 11x17 PDF onto two 8.5x11 pages?
Thanks!

The easiest solution I know of requires you to have a copy of Adobe InDesign. You can easily layout PDFs within InDesign in the configuration you want and create a new PDF.
I don't know any way to print it directly in that layout, unfortunately.

How to Create Always on Top Window OR Frame

How do I Position Tabs Top-Right, Bottom-Right, etc??

I've spent countless hours looking over the net and here trying to find anything that shows how to position tabs within a JTabbedPane (or a deriviative of it) in OTHER than top-left, left-top, right-top or bottom-left.
My most immediate need is to put the tabs top-right, and I was able to modify the layout to do that, but that screwed up all other positions. When I hacked up the paint method to changed the rects, it worked until the tabs lost focus.
Digging really deep into an extension of JTabbedPane, TabbedPaneUI, and the inner TabbedPaneLayout, I kept running into dead-ends in one place or the other, like, finding private methods, or different mechanisms for getting the tabplacement.
If anyone has any pointers, please let me know. At the moment, I'm so exasperated that I'm actually writing my own custom tabbed pane. However, my tabbed pane will allow ANY component as a tab and allow 12 anchors for the tabs, but I'd still just like to get the tabs top right.
Java Joe Morgan

You're friggin' kiddn' me! OK.. that makes me feel really stupid... but I generally think of component orientation as an internationalization thing and it simply never dawned on me to try!
I'll get a big laugh out of this some day... somewhat like you are right now!
Thanks... you've saved me about only a zillion lines of code.
Things to note for those finding this answer:
1) For left and right tab runs, this doesn't have an effect, but why would it? Yet, it might have been nice to have a right-bottom or left-bottom.
2) For top and bottom tab locations, if you want the tab order the same left to right order as you add them, you have to add the tab components in reverse order. That is, in your code you add Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, and set component orientation right to left, your tabs will be, left to right, Tab3, Tab2, Tab1. So to get tabs positioned on the right (top or bottom) and left to right order Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, you'll need to add them Tab3, Tab2, Tab1.

Cp6 - effects (how to fade in from top to bottom?)

Hello all,
I am attempting to simulate an effect I often used in Lectora. I used this effect on text bullets where the text would slowly appear (fade in) one line at a time from top to bottom.
Is there a similar effect in Captivate 6. I gave up looking for it.
Also, has anyone bothered to catalog and demonstrate all the effects available in Captivate 6? If not, perhaps I will take on this project next month.... seems worthwhile.
Thank you,
Shawn

Thank you for your response Lieve.

Please: http://lilybiri.posterous.com/list-with-effects-in-captivate-555-thank s-col
They didn't change in CP6
You have to make each line a separate Text container (caption or smart shape) and apply the effect on each line, stagger them on the timeline
Lilybiri
The list is great...
I suspected that was the only way. That is far too much work for all the bullets that I would like to animate. I'll have to do without.
But I appreciate your post.

How to create gradient pixel dots....?

hi there,
quite puzzled about the following. within illustrator i am trying to create a pattern of squares, with the squares themself slowly transiting (gradient) from 1 color to another...
see image below
i made 4 little squares, used them as a swatch. filled a big rectangle with the swatch and expanded the object again so all squares are now individual elements...
now all i need is the full gradient from left to right but filling each square with one fixed color.
help needed!
thanx

emel,
You may:
1) Create a slightly undersized square (such as 6.5pt for a pattern with a horizontal/vertical distance of 10pt between tilted sqyares in a row/column, 7.071pt being the corresponding full size without gaps);
2) Rotate 1) by 45 degrees, place it at X=Y=0, and give it the start colour;
3) Object>Transform>Move by a suitable distance to get a chosen number of steps in between (such as 200pt for 19 steps in between), and give it the end colour;
4) Object>Transform>Move 2) (the leftmost tilted square) up/down and to the right to fit the pattern (such as 5pt by 5pt), and give it the right transitional value between start and end colour(such as 95% star colour and 5% end colour;
5) Object>Transform>Move 3) (the rightmost tilted square) up/down and to the left to fit the pattern (such as -5pt by 5pt), and give it the right transitional value between start and end colour(such as 5% star colour and 95% end colour;
Now you have a basis for making blends;
6) Object>Blend>Options, set to Specified Steps with the right value (such as 19);
7) Select 2) and 3) and Object>Blend>Make;
8) Object>Blend>Options, set to Specified Steps with the right value, one less than in 6) (such as 18);
9) Select 2) and 3) and Object>Blend>Make;
Now you have the blends;
10) To multiply:
10a) Select both blends and either Effect>Distort&Transform>Transform>Move vertically up/down by the right value (such as 10pt) with a suitable number of copies, or
10b) Object>Transform>Move vertically up/down by the right value (such as 10pt) a suitable number of times.
Now you have a pattern of rectangles forming a discrete gradient from left to right.
You may:
11) Create a bounding rectangle and:
11a) use Object>Clipping Mask, or
11b) Object>Expand Apperance, select the rectangle 11), Object>Path>Divide Objects Below, and delete outlying parts.
Here is an image (in double size) of a Red to Blue transition, using the values mentioned, with a bounding rectangle:

Sub site 2
Site 2:
sub site 1
sub site 1 (last node)

Sub site 2
Site 3
and so on.
I have to show site structure in top navigation, can you guide me how can we achieve this using SharePoint Design Manager or if their is any other way then please tell me.

In snippet gallery, select top navigation from Ribbon, it will show snippet and customization details.
In Customization - Top Navigation (ASP.NET) section, expand
Important node and change value of StaticDisplayLevels
to 2. After that expand Behavior node and change value of
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels to 2.

How to create JTree horizontally?

Can I create a GUI tree which has its stem horizontally using java?
TIA.

I'd take a look at swinghelper's transformer, which allows you to rotate swing components. It is an experimental project, but still worth a look:
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexfromsun/archive/2006/07/jxtransformer_t.html
You could also override paint(), and tweak the transformation of the passed graphics. You would also have to override the get*size() methods, and translate the coordinates of the mouse events.

How to keep the horizontal top column letters and left row numbers????

When working on a table, there is a vertical column on the left of the row numbers and a row across the top with letters that identify columns. I would like to keep this (as in Appleworks) but whenever I click on the table, or use Print View, or Print, these two identifying features disappear! I have tried everything to keep them, but no luck. Is there any way to do this?
thanks

Hello
may you take care of the existence of the Search field on the right side of this forum?
may you also look at the already existing threads (at least in the first two pages).
Your question is available four or five rows below yours.
Using it with the button more options and selecting The Numbers forum
enter the keywords lock AND title .
You will discover that yoy may get quick respnce to a lot of questions without asking for them in the forums.
I know that some posters dislike this kind of response.
