How to get crinkly lines

I am currently trying to do a project that involves creating a map of a fictional location and I am looking for a very specific feature: crinkly line creation. I would like to be able to sketch out the general arc of a curve on this map and have the tool I'm using change that curve into a natural looking coastline or topographic boundary. The tool I am currently using is Campaign Cartographer 3, but I really dislike the interface.
Is there any feature of Illustrator (be it built in or a third party plugin) that would allow me to do this quickly and easily?

I don't think there is a specific tool for what you are looking for but you might try setting up an action and hit the line with a combination of
zig zag and
pucker
Better still perhaps create a brush with the effect you are wanting.

How to get 2nd line in smartforms using template

how to get 2nd line in smartforms main window using template. i have also defined loop .

if possible can you try with the TABLES..
Put one TABLE in your MAIN window
create table lines as per your requirment...consider all lines like 6 for header, 1 for main, 1 for total
Now, you will find three section under the tables: header, main, footer...
in header section, create a table line, assign one of the proper lines from the line types.. repeat for your all lines.
in main section, you can access your data form the loop.
the footer secion will be called, just after the main will be finished.

Hi Ravi,
Line -
Use a SMATSTYLE for this purpose.in the smartstyle create a paragraph or character with underline atribute.Then call the smartstyle in the text.

How to get file line count.

Hey guys,
How to get file line count very fast? I am using BufferedReader to readLine() and count. But when dealing with big file, say several GB size, this process will be very time consuming.
Is there any other methods?
Thanks in advace!

What I'd do is you create an infofetcher, register a listener, implement gotMore() and have that scan for '\n'
Some might suggest getting rid of the listener/sender pattern or use multiple threads to make ii faster. This might help a little, but only if your I/O is super-duper speedy.
you are welcome to use and modify this code, but please don't change the package or take credit for it as your own work.
InfoFetcher.java
============
package tjacobs.io;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;

* InfoFetcher is a generic way to read data from an input stream (file, socket, etc)
* InfoFetcher can be set up with a thread so that it reads from an input stream
* and report to registered listeners as it gets

* the same code for reading from an input stream.

How to get a line break

Hi All,
How do I get a line break within a particular field?
My DB structure is that I have 4 columns address_line_1, address_line_2 and so on. I cannot select them as different fields because all of them can be null, in which case i pick it from internal_address_line column.
I use:
SELECT DECODE(address_line_1, NULL, internal_address_line, address_line_1 || ', ' || Address_Line_2) as ADDRESS
But instead of th comma separating the 2 address lines I want a line break so that 2 address lines come in 2 separate lines in the output.
It doesn't allow me to use chr(10) as a line break and gives an error
I'm using Reports 2.5
TIA
Naveen

Yes, true.
How about setting up the sections as:
Section 1 Introduction ('Section num space introduction' in this example - tab may be better)
Then generate the Contents.
Then do a GREP find/change on the document after the contents:
This will add a forced line break and tab after each section number... You might want to specify a para style in the Find Format box too, so that references to Section xx in body text are not altered.
If you update Contents after this, you will get the line break and tab in the Contents too.

How to get Fixed lines per page ? really Urgent !!!

I am facing problem with the fixed lines per page. The Footer block(Subtotal) is moving up leaving space at the bottom when the number of items is less.
I have a two groups : one for KIT ITEMS and other for KIT COMPONENTS. When i am generating report for only KIT ITEMS i am getting fixed footer by using
<xsl:variable name="no_of_lines_per_page" select="number(30)"/>
<?for-each@section:Q1?>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="inner_group" select=".//Q2"/>
<?for-each:$inner_group?><?if:(position()-1) mod $no_of_lines_per_page=0?>
<xsl:variable name="first_rec" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
but when i try generate the report in combination with KIT COMPONENTS together, i am not able to fix the number of lines per page. The Footer is going into next page. Now i have Q2 and Q3 where Q2 is Parent Kit Item and Q3 is Child Kit Components.
How can i get fixed lines per page for Q3 with respect to Q2 ?
I would really appreciate if anyone can reply me fast.

Hi Thanks for the link.I used the code which is there in this link. It is working for the items coming from Q2( Kit Parent Items) , but I want fixed number of lines combine for both Kit parent and its kit components( i.e Q2 and Q3 ). Could you please tell me , code to get fixed number of lines for this. It is really very urgent.

Slim fails to login...how to get command line back?

Man, what a drag. I (seemingly) successfully installed Arch with xfce, which is a huge accomplishment for a guy coming from years of Ubuntu, and avoiding command line and config files every chance he gets.
Anyway, I'm using slim as a display manager, and it fails to login (I am choosing the xfce session). I can't seem to get to a command line so that I can try a different display manager. Google says that Ctrl-Alt-F1 should do the trick, but that just gives me a black screen and sits there. Any help?
Thanks.

How to get all lines in a paragraph?

Hey all,
I've got a confusing question, see the codes below:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
          set doc to open orphan_check
          tell doc
                    set myPage to page 4
                    set myTextFrame to first text frame in myPage
                    set myParagraph to third paragraph in myTextFrame
                    set lineList to lines in myParagraph
                    if (length of lineList is greater than 1) then
                              set hasMultipleLine to true
                    else
                              set hasMultipleLine to false
                    end if
          end tell
end tell
I'm trying to get all the lines from one paragraph by using "set lineList to lines in myParagraph", and it returns an error. Also, if try "count of lines of myParagraph", it returns 0 all the time. But it works well for the text fame. For example, if I tried "set lineList to lines in myTextFrame", it can break the line correctly. So any suggestions? I am trying to do the orphan check, that is see if the last line in each paragraph contains enough characters.
Thanks~

Well,
'                    set myParagraph to third paragraph in myTextFrame'
returns the content fo the paragraph ...
try to set:
'set myParagraph to object reference of third paragraph of myTextFrame'
or just:
count lines of paragraph 1 of first text frame
Hope it'll be of some help

How to get First line item in Table control for BDC.

Hi,
I have a requirement while creating the return order from the reference Sales order for BOM.
Once I compare the line items and delete the items not to be returned, I want to read the first line item which in fact is header, to make some changes.
How to read this as cursor points to the last line item.
-B S B

Hi Bsb,
What is exactly unclear to you? =POPO will give a popup screen in which you can enter the order position number. This number will then be on the top of the table which means you can refer to it in BDC with "(01)".

John.

How to get these lines/effect

Hi guys.
Please, could you help me a little? I am on this simple project where I have to make something similar to this:
http://www.video.terramedia.lt/downloads/lines.jpg
the thing is - I need to animate the center of these lines (anchor point), and when I move that center, lines bend in some manner, if the center of lines is in the center of the screens - lines become straight.
Please, help if possible.
Appreciate any input.

My first thought would be to use an expression to drive the angle property of the twirl effect applied to an adjustment layer.
I'd make your line from a solid, possibly with a mask. Call it something like MasterLine. Move the anchor point to the far left center of the layer.
Then I'd add an adjustment layer with Twirl. Tie the twirl center to the position of your MasterLine layer with an expression. You can simply create this expression with the pickwhip.
Then I'd apply the following expression to the Angle property:
zerox = width/2;
zeroy = height/2;
lineCenter = thisComp.layer("Red Solid 1").transform.position;
bend = [zerox, zeroy] - lineCenter;
distort = bend[0] - bend[1];
distort
After that I'd duplicate the Master Layer and offset the rotation of the duplicates 5º or 10º until you had you pattern established. You could either parent each of the duplicates to the MasterLayer (should probably add an 01 to the name so that the duplicates will be numbered) or use expressions to tie the position of each of the duplicates to the master. You could even use the layer index to automatically rotate each of the duplicates .
I think this should work. At least it should get you started.
