How to draw a shape with line tool then fill with colour

How can i draw a shape with the line tool and then fill it with colour

Click and drag from one anchor point to the next, making sure that each new line segment begins where the last one ended. The Line Tool will snap onto the anchors.
Once you're done creating what looks like a closed path, the lines are still separate objects. To combine them into one path, select them all and press Ctrl/Cmd+J (for Join) or via the menu select Object > Path > Join.
The Pen Tool can be used in a similar manner, but each segment will be a continuation rather than a separate object. The last (closing) click will be indicated by a tiny circle on the mouse pointer.
If you make an open path, Ai will still "fill" it with a fill color by assuming a straight path between the last open anchor points. Individual straight paths, however, such as those drawn by the line tool, have no "inside", so they won't show the fill color even if you have assigned one.

How to draw and modify double lines with Adobe Illustrator?

I need tot draw roadmaps. This should be easy using the pen tool, but my problem is that I cannot find a way to draw double lines with this tool. I have seen many fancy border styles and patterns. Some do have double or even quadruple lines, but the problem is than that they have an offset from the vector line and the space in between the two lines (the edges of the road) cannot be filled. Somewere I also found some pens called 'Double line 1.1' to 'Double line 1.6' but they also had an offset from the vector and I could not chance the size of the lines and the interval in between them independently.
What I am looking for is a way to draw two lines in parallel and have the option tot fill the space in between with a color or even a pattern.
The color and size of the lines should be changeable to make a distinction between several types of road.
Is there an existing set of pencils for this purpose? It would be nice to be able to draw not only roads, but also railways and rivers!
I am surely not the first person who needs to do this?
I use AI version 6

Jacob,
Thanks for the answer. I have been searching for a solutions for a long
time, but today I found the solution on a forum (not on this one). That
solution is exactly as you described below, i.e. using a coloured line and a
narrower white line on top of the first one. My problem was that I did not
know how to create a custom brush based on the two lines. Now I know how to
do that. However, I still have the problem. I can now draw double lines and
I can change the color of the background line (the coloured one) but I
cannot change the white colour of the narrower line. I assume that I have to
completely redefine a new brush when I need to change that colour too.

Rob Kole

How to display polygons both with line contour and filled interior?

How to display polygons both with line contour and filled interior?
Java3D 1.3, Java 1.4.1-rc

Hi,
I just started with Java3D last week.
I assume you mean drawing polygons with outlines (wireframe) in one color and polygon face filling with another color. If so, I've got the same question! (I usually think of "contour" to refers to plotting surface intensity of independent data like temperature or elevation, but I don't think you mean this.)
The only solution I've found so far is to make two shapes with the same geometry.
Here's an example - an outlined and filled cube. I made it using a generalize class DualShape which is two shapes with the same geometry, but one filled and one as a line.
It works, although I can't say I understand the setPolygonOffset(), knowing what value to set. Without the command, the depthbuffer can't consistently decide which should be in front between the fills and lines so it looks bad.
I certainly think it would be nicer to do both internally, like:
pa.setPolygonMode(pa.POLYGON_LINE || pa.POLYGON_FILL);
And then have setFillColor and setLineColor for each.
I don't know why they don't allow this - maybe OpenGL can't do it like this so Java3D follows.
If anyone has any better ideas I'd like to hear about it.

How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?

How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?
Can I combine text blocks into one paragraph that are now given line by line?
Is there a way to add a paragraph to an existing pdf and have the remaining text flow to the next pages?

You can't, no, and no. Acrobat is not a word processor, and trying to use it as if it is will lead to enormous frustration and disappointment. Maybe you need to convert this document to Word if you want to do this sort of editing, but don't expect fancy layout to be preserved.

How to draw a straight dotted line on Bar chart at 70%?

Hi
Could you please let me know how to draw a straight dotted line on BAR CHART at 70%?
Thank you

Hi,
This may vary depending on what version of crystal you are using.
Right click on the graph & go to 'chart options' & choose 'Grids'
In the grids pane go to the grids tab. From there check the 'draw custom line at' and specify where you want to draw the custom line.
Once the line is drawn highlight the line, right click and go to 'chart options' & 'selected item'.
select what format you want the line to look like (choose the dashed one).
good luck!

Hello Srinujalleda,
Thanks for your precious time.
I tried the referred T-Code
But this report is not showing Opening balance, closing balance detail.
It only gives transactions during the specified posting period and total of it.
Please guide me further in case if I need to give proper input at selection screen or elsewhere.

How to select a shape from pen tool for paint bucket

I was under the notion that I could make a shape with the pen tool and if I closed the the shape it would then be selected in a way that would allow me to color the interior with paint bucket.
However, when I splash the paintbucket inside my shape, it paints the whole layer, not just the part inside my shape.
Obviously I don't understand how it is supposed to work.
Apparently I've gone at this the wrong way.. I want to create a freeform shape, that once created will be a selected region in the same way a rectangle or elips would.
What is the best way to do that? I'm shooting for thought bubble sort of shape, something along the line of the outline of an egg, but with a tail at one end.

Added tips from Tip Merchant ($200 consulation fee)
- on mac - command/ numeric keypad Enter turns the path into a selection. Option delete then fills.
- an action can be setup to bring up Fill Path from the Path panel menu. Just pressing enter fills with FG color
These are ways to avoid he paths panel altogether. Best way may be to use the TINY fill path icon in that panel as was pointed out by John

Removing anti-aliasing on shaps (particularly line tool)

Hi all, I am new on the forum
I searching around for an option to disable anti-aliasing on the Shape tools. When I draw a straight horisontal line with Weight set to 1px it draws a 2 pixel high line with the second line being partly transparent
Is there any way i can prevent this or what would be the best substitute to draw straight lines for web deisgn ?
Regards
Thomas

Select the line tool.
On the options bar, select the Fill Pixels mode. (third button from left).
On the last option on the options bar, turn off "anti-alias".
It sounds like you were creating shape layers, which don't have an option to turn off anti-aliasing.

Problems with Line Tool Photoshop CS4

I have just upgraded to CS4 running on a new MacBook Pro 10.6.3. I've used Photoshop 7 extensively and feel quite able to get around the CS4 version. The problem I have is in creating a line in Photoshop - the line colour will not fix or change other than black on white background, or white on a black background. I can't seem to change it what ever I do? Is there a bug or incompatibility with the new operating system of my MAC?

Is the Line Tool set to Shape Layer, Paths or Fill Pixels (in the Options Bar)?

How to draw a shape to Panel instead of draw to Frame

I have a Frame and add a Panel into this Frame. I want to draw a shape to Panel instead of draw to Frame. how do i do?

You can do two different things:
1) For temporary drawings that will disappear when the component is repainted, you can use getGraphics() on the Panel, draw on the Graphics, then dispose the Graphics.
2) For persistant drawings, subclass Panel and override the paint(Graphics g) method. Anything in there will be painted along with the panel. Start with super.paint(g); when you override for good coding practice.

How to draw 2D shapes on the image generated by JMF MediaPlayer?

Hello all:
IS there any way that we can draw 2D shapes on the image generated by JMF
MediaPlayer?
I am currently working on a project which should draw 2D shapes(rectangle, circle etc) to
mark the interesting part of image generated by JMF MediaPlayer.
The software is supposed to work as follows:
1> first use will open a mpg file and use JMF MediaPlayer to play this video
2> if the user finds some interesting image on the video, he will pause the video
and draw a circle to mark the interesting part on that image.
I know how to draw a 2D shapes on JPanel, however, I have no idea how I can
draw them on the Mediaplayer Screen.
What technique I should learn to implement this software?
any comments are welcome.
thank you

How to draw vector shape?

I use following statement to draw a shape
[CODE]for(....){
sprite.graphics.beginFill(..);
sprite.graphics.drawRect(x,y,1,1);
sprite.graphics.endFill();
}[/CODE]
But I find above shape is not vector shape.Because I change the IE size,I find the size of shape don't automatic change. How to use sprite.graphics to create vector shape?
Thanks

Set Flash object size to 100% x 100% in the HTML - then you'll see your drawing changes the size as you resize the browser window.

Photoshop CS6 how to change new behavior of line tool?

After upgrade to CS6 the line tool behaves differently than I was used to. Now it´s doing something like auto-align. I don´t know how to describe it exactly, but when I´m trying to do lines in small angle it´s impossible, because the tool is always "jumping" to do completely straight lines.
Is it a feature in CS6, bug, or it´s happening only to me?

If you go to Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>General and uncheck Snap Vector Tools and Transforms to Pixel Grid, does that
make a difference?

How to draw a simple little line.

I have a JApplet that loads images from a jar file. This applet can scale the images, and move them left right, up and down.
I just want to be able to draw a line on top of the images and then erase it if needed. How do I do this?
Currently, I have a the jpg images loaded into an Image, which is then converted to an ImageIcon, which is then used to create a JLabel, which is used to create a JScrollPane which finally gets added as a tab on a JTabbedPane.
I was told to use BufferedImage but that didn't help me. Here is what I have currently:
private void draw()
//Get the current image to draw on
JScrollPane jsp = (JScrollPane)m_tabbedPane.getSelectedComponent();
JViewport port = jsp.getViewport();
GrabAndScrollLabel gnsLabel = (GrabAndScrollLabel) port.getView();
ImageIcon ii = (ImageIcon) gnsLabel.getIcon();
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage (ii.getIconWidth(),
ii.getIconHeight(),
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = bi.createGraphics();
g2.setPaint(Color.blue);
g2.drawLineRect(100, 200, 300, 500);
g2.drawImage(ii.getImage(),null,null);
ImageIcon newIcon = new ImageIcon(ii.getImage());
gnsLabel.setIcon(newIcon);
port.setView(gnsLabel);
jsp.setViewport(port);
getRootPane().revalidate();
getRootPane().repaint();
Please help. I can't believe it has to be this difficult to draw a little line.
Thanks.

I have a little more insight into my problem.
I built a sample form Sun (the Map_Line sample). It looks like this:
public class Map_Line extends Applet
private BufferedImage bi;
public Map_Line()
setBackground(Color.white);
Image img = getToolkit().getImage("bld.jpg");
try
MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
tracker.addImage(img, 0);
tracker.waitForID(0);
catch (Exception e)
int iw = img.getWidth(this);
int ih = img.getHeight(this);
bi = new BufferedImage(iw, ih, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D big = bi.createGraphics();
big.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
public void paint(Graphics g)
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
int w = getSize().width;
int h = getSize().height;
int bw = bi.getWidth(this);
int bh = bi.getHeight(this);
g2.drawImage(bi, null, 0, 0);
g2.setColor(Color.white);
g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5.0f));
g2.drawLine(10, 10, bw - 10, bh - 10);
public static void main(String[] s)
WindowListener l = new WindowAdapter()
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
System.exit(0);
Frame f = new Frame("Map_Line");
f.addWindowListener(l);
f.add("Center", new Map_Line());
f.pack();
f.setSize(new Dimension(350, 250));
f.show();
Note how the drawing is done in paint. This applet works just fine for me.
The difference is that I'm trying to use the BufferedImage to get my Graphics2D object where as this one gets it from paint (casts Graphics to Graphics2D).
This applet works just fine, but if you try to use the Graphics2D that comes back from the BufferedImage, it doesn't work!.
For example, if I create a member variable:
Graphics2D big;
And then in paint do this:
//Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
Grahics2D g2 = big;
It no longer works!
So, it looks like I need to use something other than the
BufferedImage.createGraphics() to get the Graphics2D object I need.
Does this seem right?
Thanks!
