How to fill areas between paths?

Hello,
Im new in Illustrator,
I don't need those white lines in the middle, so I would like to know how I can fill that shape fully with black color?
Thank you!

Random Hero,
Always create and keep a copy of the original artwork before you start destroying it.
As I (mis)understand it, you may:
1) Select all the paths and change them to stroke/nofill so you can see what you are doing;
2) Click each of the corner Anchor Points on either side of each gap in the outer shape;
3) Delete all the paths that form no part of the outer shape;
4) Select the remaining paths and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join them into one path;
5) Switch back to fill/nostroke.

How to fill areas with Fireworks CS4?

How can I fill areas created with a pen tablet in more than

I need to fill areas created with vector path tool divided in

Is there a reason each path is it's own object? Do they have
to remain
this way?
If they don't, you can select the paths that make up the
different areas
and try using Modify > Alter Path > Join or Modify
> Alter Path >
Union. You will probably need to remove some anchor points if
you choose
one of these options.
Are you aware of the Vector path tool which let's you draw a
path
freehand? That might be a better option than the Pen tool.

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In case it's a recent one take a look at Live Paint groups and the Shape Builder tool.

DIAdem PDF Export Filled area

Hello,
I'm using DIAdem 2011 SP1.
I have a diagram with a curve as "Filled area".
The curve parameters for the filled area are:
Line color: blue
Filling color: blue
Transparency: 90%
The transparency is needed, otherwise the grid is hidden by the filled area in the diagram.
DIAdem shows the report correctly, but in the exported PDF the area is blue without any transparency.
(The area was filled black in the PDF if DIAdem 2010 is used.)
(The report is printed correctly directly from DIAdem.)
Can someone help at this topic?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a script to build a collection of curves in REPORT. The script creates 3 lines per test (GROUP). They are an upper boundary, a lower boundary, and then a filled area between. The upper and lower boundary curves are of CURVE TYPE = LINE. The filled line is of CURVE TYPE = FILLED AREA. It works perfectly in creating these in REPORT. However, when I try to EXPORT, DiaDEM crashes. "Incorrect instructin or user command ....... Cannot open clipboard.).
I have read that there is an issue with exporting FILLED AREA from DiaDEM. I really need this to be availabe in some manner, so I wanted to know the status and/or other options for doing this.
I am using version 2010.
DIAdem: 11.2.0f4718 TDM
USI: 1.8.0f4177

How do I get rid of text in the browser fill area after site publication?

I want to thank all ot the folks who have helped me here in the Adobe Community. I'm new at this thing and have done fairly well with the exception of a few problems between the monitor and the chair.
I have published my site on the business catalyst temp host. I also uploaded the site to a ftp host (ATT web hosting), aabeaumont.org. Today and yesterday I have a page title text showing up in the brouser fill area on both hosts. What am I doing to cause this issue and what do I have to do to get rid of the unwanted text. The text shows up differently as I go to each page in the primary site map.
Again, thank you for your time and help. aabeaumont.org

Hello,
It may be possible that the HTML for head (Page Properties -> Metadata) section contains a tag etc. that hasn't been properly closed. You may want to check that once.
Hope this helps.

How to plot a multiple XY graph showing the area between the curves as shaded (colored)

I want to generate multiple XY plots and want to show (e.g. colored) the area between the two selected curves. I am using LabView 8.
Thanks in advance for your help.

That was too quick !
Your example is significantly more complicated, since there are some boolean logic behind.
I'm not sure this is something that can be done easily with LabVIEW. After some play with the drawing order of the various curves, I have been able to reproduce your example, but that's not very elegant :
Plots 0 and 1 are duplicates of plots 4 and 5 to improve the drawing (without these additionnal plots, the red and black lines almost disapear, hidden by the inter-curve filling). Line 2 fills to Line 5 (green to red in white). Line 3 fills to Line 4 (black to blue, in grey).
May be someone will comes with a better solution. Ben ?

Filled area on left or right side of path – make path clockwise - reverse path

Hello,
for a script I'm writing, which will select path points at specific angles (all angles with less than 180°) I need to know, if the inner part of my shape (namely the filled area) is to the left or to the right regarding the direction the path is running.
In Illustrator I'm able to create shapes by drawing clockwise or counterclockwise. This is a problem, because the filled area sometimes is to the left and sometimes to the right. I know a script out there, which makes the path running the reverse direction. But it doesn't care if the path is already running clockwise or counterclockwise.
I'm looking for a script which allows me to destinctivly make a path running clockwise when it is counterclockwise so that the filled area is to the right of the path or leave it as it is.
I've been searching on google for ages already but could'nt find any script which handled this before.
thank you for any help
Benny

select a path before running
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var sel = idoc.selection[0];
if (sel.polarity == 'PolarityValues.NEGATIVE')
sel.polarity = PolarityValues.POSITIVE;
edit:
yeah, same as what elDudereno said

How do I chat between users that are under one .mac/MobileMe family acct?

How do I chat between users that are under one .mac/MobileMe family acct? We are all under one account, but in different locations, using iChat 4.0.5 and OS 10.5.4. Thank you.

The only way is to create separate accounts under either AIM or Jabber (for example Googletalk). Then everybody logs into iChat with a different user and you can have full iChat functionality (except encryption which works only if you have different .mac accounts). If some members of your family have already a gmail/googlemail account then they can use this account information to log into iChat if you create a Jabber account with the gmail user information. Otherwise go to www.aim.com, request a screen name and use this user information to create an AIM account in iChat.
Have fun.

How does iPad choose between wifi and 3G when both are 'on'?

Easy peasy question.
I have 02 and Wifi going on my iPad. I know I can use 02 out and about and I know I can use wifi at home etc.
But when I'm at home how do I make sure I'm using my wifi for data and not my cellular connection???
I've been turning my cellular to 'off' when at home, just in case, but I don't want to have the faff of turning it off and on, so it would be nice to know how the iPad chooses between wifi and 3G when both data access points are active.
Also I've had no wifi troubles at home at all. so far... The acid test will be setting it up at work as they have proxyies for everything, but obviously I don't have proxies at home. I'm not sure if the settings screen can cope with different proxies dependent upon different wifi networks... * grin *

In the status bar I have
a signal strength indicator then 'O2-UK' then the 'fan' No mention of 3G.
I'm guessing you're going to say that when 3G is showing then 3G is being used for data?

Hi...
Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
Control-F4
Move focus to the active (or next) window
Shift-Control-F4
Move focus to the previously active window
By the way... since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
Click Help then click Help Center
As an example type in keyboard shortcuts
You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

How do I apply a texture to a text field's fill area?

Hi all, first post and all that!
I've seen that it's possible to format a specific bit of text in a text field with:
setTextFormat(format:TextFormat, beginIndex:int = -1, endIndex:int = -1):void
I need to format a section of text by applying a texture to the rectangular fill space around the letters. (Imagine in Microsoft Word that you've written a short sentence and you highlight it. Then you fill the text background with a colour. Then imagine that that colour is a single repeating texture. That's what I'm trying to achieve.) Note that the text field must be multiline, and I'm not looking to fill the whole rectangular text field area. The applied texture needs to fit to each character.
Is this possible in Actionscript?
Would I need to use some kind of HTML or CSS formatting?
Is it possible at all?
If it is possible, is it possible to change the size of the fill area around the text?
Thanks all!

Actually, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. For anyone else reading this thread:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00001279.html
That'll fill an area with a repeating texture. The tricky bit now is to work out a top left coordinate for each line of text, and the length of each line in pixels (based on the sum of the character widths). I'll have a poke around and see if there's a way to get that information back from a movie clip.

BI 7.0 infospoke - how to change standard destination path on appl. server

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I need to extract large amounts of data from infocubes to flatfiles. I have created an infospoke to do this. However, in this infospoke, the destination path, when I choose application server, is fixed.
In BW 3.x, there is a document "BW 3.1 Open Hub Extraction Enhancement Using Literal Filename and Path.pdf" that describes how to change the destination path for the application server.
This solution does not work for BI 7.0, I get short dumps, probably due to ABAP OO.
I need to extract the data to flat files on the application server, not on my local machine, nor into a table in SAP itself, so I need to change the destination path, because the amount of free storage is limited in the standard destination path.
Has anyone encountered this problem in BI 7.0 and solved it?
best regards
Ting

Sorry, wrong subforum, will close this

Hi Ting.
I never had a simmilar problem but, if you go to your InfoSpoke, right click --> "Change" you can see (and change... ) the following values:
Destination Type: FILE (the one you have choosen)
Application Server: Check Box (I think this is your setting)
Server name: (BW server)
Type of File Name: (Here you can choose Between "File Name" or "Logical File Name")
Appl.Server File N: "MY_FILE.CSV" (for example)
Directory: (The directory you want - take a look at the end of this post )
Separator: (The field separator)
Note : If you are working with Linux or Unix you have to look if the BW system user has the corresponding rigths to write in the FileSystem.
.          In the beginning I advice you to use something like this /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<XX>/work
Hope it helps.
Regards.

Edging problem "thin white line" between paths in Illustrator CS4...

I am making a map of Europe with Illustrator CS4 for a documentary about WWI and how the Versailles Treaty carved up imperial Germany. After having traced imperial Germany before Versailles, I then carve out the territories given to neighboring states. The problem is these very fine white lines that appear between paths.
I have two paths right next to each other. But for some reason I see this very thine white line gap that shows up between them and becomes much more evident when I export into Photoshop. Please notice this very fine white line in the black image. What you see in this image are in fact two paths side by side. There should be no line between them. And I have no idea why this very fine line appears but it gets much worse in Photoshop much more noticeable. Please click on image to see the line more clearly.
Thank you very much in advance for any help or suggestions.

Dear Jacob and Peter,
Thank you both very much for your help.
Please see these photos showing my problem more clearly.
I am using Illustrator to draw the regions, Photoshop to consolidate the layers, and Apple Motion 4 to build my animation.
[1] : Imperial Germany in 1914.
[2] : Germany after Versailles.
In Illustrator CS4, the images [1] and [2] have the colored layers in "Multiply" transparency mode. It's how I want the layers to look when I import them into Apple Motion 4.
My idea was to color all the layers black in "Normal" mode and then apply "colorize" filters in Motion 4 and set the transparency to "multiply" in Motion.
Now with Imperial Germany (all layers colored in black with transparency set to "Normal"), when I bring the image into Photoshop, I suddenly get very fine white lines between the layers and these lines show up in Motion which is the big problem. Like I said, when you click on this last photo, and you see the image full size, you can clearly see the problematic lines which appear exactly where the layers touch each other. In the photo below, the territories ceded to Poland (West Prussia) and Lithuania (Memel) are not yet red. They are still black but you can see the lines.
I don't understand because in Illustrator there were no gaps whatsoever between the layers. In Illustrator CS4, I simply cut the "territorial losses" from imperial Germany using the "Trim" function in the Pathfinder Menu. I created the red and yellow layers from the original single "imperial Germany" layer. In Illustrator I can colorize all the layers black and still never see any gaps. The fine white lines, appear in Photoshop and in Motion.
(NOTE: The documentary is being in edited in Final Cut Studio which is why I use Motion for animating.)
Sorry to ramble on. Thank you again for any further help you can give me.
