How to save a vector art(for example, a circle) in a plugins?

I want to write a plugin, and in it user can draw
vector art, how to save this vector art in vector format ?

If they need a vector object. Photoshop is not really the right program. Illustrator would be a better choice.
In Photoshop the only formats that support vector are psd, pdf, and ai.
Psd and pdf would create vector objects that would be more beneficial to someone using Photoshop.
The ai format is the only true vector format that others can use. However it only exports paths and therefore can only be found in the paths panel. The issue is Photoshop does not apply a stroke or a fill to that path. If someone is not aware of that, they would think the document is blank.
This file would have to be opened in illustrator and give the path a fill or stroke then save it.
The reason pdf does not work as expected is the format supports both raster and vector objects. The creator of the file has to be very careful to use vector objects only. If you load the file into illustrator there is the possibility that it will not open. When illustrator saves a pdf it can embed an ai file into the pdf so it can open it. Photoshop can embed a psd file into a pdf but not an ai file. Illustrator requires the embedded ai in order to open the file.
This is a long drawn out way to say Photoshop is not the right program, but it helps to understand why.

Vector art for bike chain ring

Scouring the internet i've been unable to find existing free vector art or a tutorial on how to create a bicycle chain ring. There is plenty of links to drawing cogs but the bike chain ring has a rounded tooth which I haven't been able to figure out how to create. Would appreciate any links to tutorials or existing vector art for a bicycle chain ring. Thanks.

Draw one of the gear paces with two halves of the projections.
then Use the Effect>Distort and Transform>Transform to make it a ring.

Hi, I am going to an exhibition where there is no internet access but would like to show people around my website. I have added "scrapbook" but cannot work out how to 'save' an entire site for viewing off-line. I thought there was a way to specify 1/2/3 clicks from home page etc. Please help. DAVID

OK, solved my own problem, but am posting here in case someone else has the same problem. It totally does not make sense, especially considering that it stopped after I reinstalled Lion, but the good thing is I have my files back.
I scoured the web and found a lot of other people are having the same problem. Most of them didn't have a clue how to fix it. This discussion was the most helpful to me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2569766?start=30&tstart=90
So, I went to the WD page and followed the instructions. The first suggestion was to plug it directly into a wall, because it may not be getting enough power from a power cord. I did this and it fixed the problem. Who would have guessed?
Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, go to your manufacturer's website for help. Here's WD's help: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1164/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvd GltZS8xMzI2MzIzMjUwL3NpZC82dmo0blZOaw%3D%3D

Illustrator CS4 saving vector art for Microsoft Word

I have a logo created in Illustrator CS4. I saved the file for use in Microsoft Office using the "save for Office", exporting as a .wmf, and even saving the vector art in Photoshop as a .png. I can get a variety of formats to work well in Word documents.
Here is the problem. The Word document will eventually be saved as a PDF. When the file is saved as a PDF document (from Word), the color is changing in the PDF file. How can I correct this? I've tried saving in both rgb and cmyk color modes, but the color changes once it hits Acrobat and is printing differently than the Word file. It is driving me crazy and I cannot figure this out.
Thanks for any help!
Mary

The type is not vector it is raster it is no longer outline.
Check to see if you can select the individual letters in AI if you cannot it has be rasterized and is an image not vector.
If you open my files you will see that they are selectable in Acrobat and AI.
You seem confused and I do not understand why.
Attached is a word file with vector art and type make a pdf from that and see the difference.
Also make certain you have Illustrator editing capabilities turned on when exporting to pdf from AI.
Can you attach one of the eps or the esp you made the sample file from.
Do not rasterize the outline text art.
It won't let me attach a word document.

How to save the session states for a tabular form WITHOUT using check boxs?

Greeting guys,
As you know that we can use collections to save the session states of a tabular forms, described in the how-to doc of manual tabular forms. However, what I am trying to do ( or have to do) is to provide a manual tabular form, and save the session states for validation, without using the check boxes. Because a user can put contents into some columns in a row without checking the corresponding checkbox, according to the requirements. So basically what I tried is to loop over all the rows and save Every entry into a collection. However, sometimes I got "no data found" error with unknown reasons.
My current solution is to use the "dirty" Retry button that gets back the history, which IMO is not a good workabout. So, I'd appreciate if somebody can shed some light on a better solution, especially if it is close to the one in that how-to doc.
Thanks in advance.
Luc

The following is the first collection solutin I've tried:
htmldb_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('TEMP_TABLE');
for i in 1..p_row_num loop -- Loop on the whole form rows
if (htmldb_application.g_f01(i) is not null) or (htmldb_application.g_f05(i) <> 0)
--If either of them has some input values, the row should be saved into the colleciton.
then
htmldb_collection.add_member(
p_collection_name => 'TEMP_TABLE',
p_c001 => htmldb_application.g_f01(i),
p_c002 => htmldb_application.g_f03(i),
p_c003 => htmldb_application.g_f04(i),
p_c004 => htmldb_application.g_f05(i),
p_c005 => htmldb_application.g_f06(i),
p_c006 => htmldb_application.g_f08(i)
end if;
end loop;
Some of columns have null values, but I don't think that's the reason. Because once I clicked all the check boxes, there would be no error no matter what values were in other columns.
Another issue would be extract the values FROM the collection, which has been tried because I had problem to store the data into the collection. I used "decode" functions inside the SQL to build the tabular form. I am not sure whether it will be the same as a regular SQL for a tabular form, like the example in the How-to doc.
Also I didn't use the checksum, for it is not an issue at the current stage. I am not sure whether that's the reason which caused the NO DATA FOUND error.

Exporting Flash vector art for print

I would like to export art created in Flash as a vector
format for print. Exporting as either AI or EPS from Flash seems to
have many limitations: no support for masks, alpha transparency, or
editable text with fonts embedded. Has anyone found a workflow to
create print-ready vector art using Flash?
I have tried many combinations of Flash, Freehand, and
Illustrator with no success. (Freehand will open SWF files, but it
rasterizes the vector art when exporting as either EPS or PDF).
Working in Flash Pro 8, but from the Flash CS3 documentation
it doesn't look like there are additional options for file export.
Is it true that any vector art exported from Flash loses font info,
masking, and transparency?

Has anyone found a good solution for this? I need to export character art from Flash to use for print and consumer product items. Qualtity vectors are required.
The "best" solution I've found so far is to "Print" as either a .PDF or .PS file, then open that file in Illustrator. It expands all the gradients, and creates very complex vectors, but it's better than the standard export to .AI function, which gives offending operator "bg" errors. Still, it is a sub-par result, and I end up having to recreate art anyway.
(I'm using Flash CS4.)
Dear Adobe, this should be a no-brainer ... Please introduce a true vector export feature from Flash to Illustrator that generates art we can actually use.

How to save landscape print layout for report designed in SQL Server 2005

How to save page setup for a report wich was designed in SQL Server 2005 RS? Each time report is previewed, I have to change portrate to landscape orientation and left and right marging from 0,5 to 0,25, to be able to see all fieldas on the report.

Hi, Marina;
Which version of Crystal Reports are you using? Once you set a report to Landscape, and save the report, it should stay that way, unless you change to a different printer.

XML parsing (KXml) - how to save parser's position for later use?

Hello.
I am parsing an xml file using KXmlParser and i want to keep the position of the parser for later use so i can continue from that same position.
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
        if (coupletForm!=null) {
            coupletForm.deleteAll();
        while (eventType != KXmlParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
            if (eventType == KXmlParser.START_TAG ){
                String element_name = parser.getName();
                if (element_name.equals("couplet")) {
                    coupletForm = new Form("Couplet 1");
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_one")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                    //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions = null;
                    coupletOptions = new ChoiceGroup("Choose lead:", Choice.EXCLUSIVE);
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_two")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                   //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    coupletForm.append(coupletOptions);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                    coupletForm.addCommand(CMD_NEXT);
                    coupletForm.setCommandListener(this);
                    display.setCurrent(coupletForm);
                    break;
            eventType = parser.next();
    }What i am doing here is parsing the xml file. When the parser finds an element with name <lead_one> it continues parsing until it finds the next element (<description>) and then creates a ChoiceGroup with the first option as the text found in the next element. I want to keep this position of the parser. The parser then continues until it finds element <lead_two> and does the same thing as <lead_one>. I want to save the positions of the parser when it stops at the <description> element. I am trying to do this using a stack, but this doesn't work.

If you want to select nodes based on changing criteria, you should use XPath.
If you have relatively fixed criteria, iterate over the nodes and pick out the ones that you want. For example:
public static List<Element> getChildren(Element parent, String tagname) {
    List<Element> result = new ArrayList<Element>();
    NodeList children = parent.getChildNodes();
    for (int ii = 0 ; ii < children.getLength() ; ii++) {
      Node child = children.item(ii);
      if ((child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) && tagname.equals(child.getNodeName()) {
        result.add((Element)child);
    return result;
}

How do I Get Album Art for Some Tracks Only?

I feel really stupid for asking this but I have tried to find out how to do it to no avail!

I have tried by highlighting the songs and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.

How to debug Alchemy with VC++ (for example vc++6.0)

Hi all,
i want to debug the alchemy code with VC++. For example, I use sample /stringecho.
I create a new project and add stringecho.c . But build error---------fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'AS3.h': No such file or directory
If I copy AS3.h from alchemy directory to my project directory ,build error---------error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _AS3_LibInit
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _AS3_Release.........
can any one have idea how to debug,
waiting for inputs
thanks in advance

Sorry but you can't compile Alchemy stuff like AS3.h in visual studio hoping to debug your application
You may develop your C/C++ code in visual studio as a "portable application" to alchemy or whatever platform you like, so you may develop , debug it, and then recompile the whole application in alchemy ... you will need a lot of #ifdef/#endif and so on to make it.
If you have isolated pieces of C/C++ code build up a test application and test it.. maybe it's easier.
if you really need to debug the alchemy version of your code you could follow this post, it's a great starting point.

How to fulltext index more words - for example P A NC

Hi everybody,
I need to fulltext index a special phrase, for example P A NC, B A KLP, PO A BZ, etc. White space is standard delimiter words.
I need oposite to stopwords
Could you help me
Thanks
Martin

Not quite sure what you're looking for. You can turn off stopwords by using "stoplist ctxsys.empty_stoplist" in the parameters clause. But are you looking to index those phrases as single tokens? That can't be done without pre-processing the text in some fashion, perhaps replacing the spaces with a special character and defining that as a PRINTJOINS character, so that "P A NC" is indexed as "P+A+NC" or similar.
