Is it possible to have an Infinite canvas drawing program

Hi
Is it possible to have an Infinite canvas in a drawing program?
The sort of Features that make sense would be
Zoom In and out
All other basic drawing tool capabilities

That's not right, hereafter. So long as the canvas is virtualized it can be theoretically infinite. It only needs memory and disk space for the sections actually displayed.
Major Solutions, there are low level facilities to enable what you describe, but you'd need to implement the details (in particular the drawing tools) yourself. As hereafter notes there are some practical issues depending on your definition of infinite.
For very large canvases take a look at Direct2D and the VirtualSurfaceImageSource.

  • Selection tool / infinite canvas / gradient color picker

    Selection tool:
    Select the objects that are fully enclosed by the marquee (instead of
    selecting all the objects that "touch" the marquee).
    Why: the actual implemented selection approach doesn't work fine in
    many cases and slow down the overall design. It is not a matter of
    religion..the corel draw way is the best one. I design software's UI
    (mockups with many icons, buttons, images, texts and shapes) and, with
    the current Ai's selection approach, I have to deselect (**** + click)
    too many objects in many cases. With the "corel draw" selection method
    I usually have only to drag the marquee in the right way (to fully
    enclose only the objects I want to select) and the need to deselect
    something ( shift + click) is very rare.
    How to implement the feature: the user can activate this option
    selection method in the prefs panel. In that way the selection tool
    will remain the current one and the switch to the new selection method
    is provided as an option.
    Infinite canvas size:
    Having an infinite canvas size to host artboards.
    Why: with an infinite canvas size the user can add artboards without
    any limits and using any layout (grid, left-right, top-down, etc)
    Gradient color picker:
    The color picker panel can be opened from the gradient panel.
    Why: The actual gradient panel doesn't let the user to visually pick
    up a "precise" color for the selected gradient stop
    How to implement the feature: the user can open the color picker
    double-clicking the color thumb (icon) of the selected gradient stop
    in the gradient panel.

    Hi Argol,
    I comletely agree with "all of" your features requests for cs6.
    Regarding the request about the selection tool, I want to precise that it is shared by a huge number of people and we all hope that adobe will listen its customers. Here is an example of how is important to enable the alternative selection method (that is the one used by corel draw and many other tools). A simple selection like this is a kind of nightmare with illustrator (it involves many de-select clicks). Also, in real case scenarios, things are more and more complex and we all know how things can get frustating! :-)

  • Why isn't possible to have ID attribute with a root tag

    Hi ,
    Why is it not possible to have a id associated with a Root tag ??
    Thanks in advance.

    CustomClass.mxml
    <Canvas id="i_got_a_root_tag_id" >
    </Canvas>
    Now remember , the id is declared when we declare the class right so even though we don't specify the id in the Application.mxml class , it is a property of the CustomClass.
    Main.mxml
    <Application>
      <CustomClass />
      <CustomClass />
       <Script>
         public function somethingFunction():void
            i_got_a_root_tag_id.addEventListener(Do.SomethingEvent , handleEvent);
    So in the previous example , which instance gets the listener added to it ?  See how root id tags hurt everyone everywhere ?
    If this post was helpful please mark it as such.
    Sincerely ,

  • Possible to Have ToC Default to Show Only Top Level (collapse sublevels)?

    Howdy!
    I'll bet I'm not the only one wishing for this.  Let's say you're using Captivate 4's Table of Contents feature with a longish movie of Cp slides, which is chunked into bite-size sections content-wise.  In the ToC, though, you can't mimic that same organization scheme; at least, the learner would first need to collapse all the ToC folders you've created so they see only the top-level listing.
    This can be a critical issue:  keeping the at-first-glance list in the ToC brief enough to be inviting to learners, yet allowing learners to drive which details are currently visible.
    A movie's topical hierarchy could be along these lines, for example ...
    Section 1 - National Brands
    What are National Brands?
    Why Are They Important to Our Business?
    Working with Nat. Brands
    Practice Your Knowledge
    Section 2 - International Brands
    What are International Brands?
    Why Are They Important to Our Business?
    Working with Intl. Brands
    Practice Your Knowledge
    You'd like to organize the ToC to show only the section titles (1st level) and to suppress the 2nd-level detail (slide titles) until the learner chooses to expand the folder to see those details.
    I've tried things like grouping the slides into sections in the Storyboard view and organizing the slides into sections strictly within the ToC -- both to no avail.
    Has anyone solved for this need yet?
    I'm all ears, and you'd be doing learners of the world a huge favor.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jim.
    Thanks for being 'on the case' and looking into this so quickly.  Your
    findings are encouraging, although my user base is generally working with
    IE 6 and FP8 or 9.
    Since the only thing I may influence is getting  IT to help push out FP10,
    I'm hoping it's more of a player- than a browser-version issue.
    I'll test things out by Monday and let you know the results.  Wish me luck!

    Dave,
    I just tested this on my local web server and it worked fine.  I created a
    blank project with 8 slides.  Created my TOC with grouping... 2 slides in
    each group.  I turned on self paced learning.  I tried with and without the
    widget and it picked up where I left off in either case.  See
    https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B86WuEq6SVwRNWIwMjhjODctMjE2Yy00MWE2LWI5YzEtMGQxYzNjOWQ0Z mI2&hl=en. 
    I published using FP10 and IE8 to view.  Notice any difference between
    your project and this one?
    Thanks,
    Jim Leichliter

  • Is it possible to have an attachment within a pdf doc print at the same time the main doc prints?

    Okay, so this may be kind of a weird question.  We have some users who are wanting to add a page to an already existing xml document and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that it's not possible to add/delete pages from a pdf that's in xml format.  Since that is not possible, I have added the page to the xml document as an attachment.  Now what I am wanting to know is if it is possible to have the attachment print out at the same time as the main document.  We are using the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 & 10 and then I have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.  I've been unable to find anyting via google or by searching this forum so hopefully I'll draw out some kind of smart cookies and we'll get this figured out.  I appreciate any and all input!
    Thanks,

    I know of no way to do this with Reader or XML.

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

    You didn't specify whether you are using the "official" Yahoo mail app, or some other email application like K-9.  But either of those allow for the specification of multiple email accounts, and you don't even really need to sign in/out.  Once you set up the accounts within the app, just select the email account that you want to view.  It might be a little more problematic if you want to prevent each other from being able to see the other's email, however.

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • Is it possible to have a Cron job in CPO to check the running status of a workflow

    Is it possible to have a Cron job in CPO to check every hour to see if a particular workflow is running, if not trigger it by creating a alert, if yes- autokill

    Hi Warren,
    We don't want our process to expire and also not to execute twice at once. We have a provisioning wrapper workflow which is triggered one time by an alert and it runs endlessly by creating an alert at the end of each instance triggering another instance of the same unless CPO hangs or goes to stand by mode. Since we belong to service team, we don't have any kind of access to CPO DB or logs, so that possibility is ruled out. Just checking for alternatives. 

  • HT1353 Is it possible to have another iCloud login on my unit without me logging into that account?

    Is it possible to have another iCloud login on my unit without me logging into that account?
    I lost my iTouch4 last June10 after a party. I stayed in a hotel with my team that night when i lost it --- lost in the hotel not in the party. I just got my new iPhone 4S this June25. When i used Find my Phone app i saw that there are 2 devices: ipod (named after one of my teammates) and iPhone (under my name). whne i check the features of my iPhone, the contacts, calendar, bookmarks and apps i downloaded previously on iTunes are sync to what i entered on my iTouch. My teammate told me that he also noticed that on "his iPod" and he dont know why his apple ID was changed to mine.
    Is it possible to get that situation? Or is that an evidence that he has my iPod touch 4?  I need help to clear things out. Thanks.

    - I do not understand what yo are seeing with the FIndMyiPod app. That app can set up to find any iOS device. you just have to enter the Apple ID and passwords used for that device.
    - on your computer go to iCloud, sign into your account and go to FindMyiPhone. What do you find?

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.
    mannyace wrote:
    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file?

    In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file, similar to WebHelp where the use can select the language from a drop-down list? In Webhelp output you could create multiple Content categories. Is there something similar with the responsive output, or am I forced to have a completely separate set of output files for each language (for example, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic)?

    As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
    Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.
