JHeadstart & (Scalable Vector) Graphics - From the AMIS JHeadstart Cookbook

A picture can tell more than a thousand words. Adding meaningful graphics to our web-application can enhance the visual attractiveness s well as the functional effectiveness. Simple, data-drive graphics such as progress indicators, status ‘traffic lights’, gauge and speedometer like indicators can all represent data-values in a explicit, obvious way. Charts such as line-graphs, bar-charts and pie-charts facilitate quick interpretation of multiple values and trends.
Using SVG in JHeadstart Applications - Scalable Vector Graphics are a technology for describing graphics in a structured, XML-based definition that can be rendered in browsers using a (free) plugin. Because of their XML-foundation, SVG objects can be generated by XML/XSL-T Transformations from dynamic datasources. That in turn makes it quite straightforward to generate graphics that are data-driven: the overall layout of the graphic is defined in an XSLT file while the dynamic data is fed into the SVG generation process in an XML document.
In this recipe, we look at the use of SVG technology together with the JHeadstart architecture for incorporating data-driven graphics in our web-application. See: http://www.amis.nl/technology/Cookbook/Recipe%20for%20GeneratingSVGObjects.htm

  • Scalable Vector Graphics Format

    Is there anyway to import Scalable Vector Graphics files into Keynote? This is a useful format for drawing programs in the open source world. For example, I have been using the Illustrator-like program, Inkscape, to good effect, but I cannot get the drawings I make into Keynote except as bitmaps.

    Welcome to the discussions, Alexis.
    I believe that "best" is subjective. It depends on what you want to do and how much you want to pay. For example, OmniGraffle is not as well known as, say, Adobe Illustrator, but for the difference in price, it may be worth your while especially if what you intend to do is create a few shapes every now and then for your presentation. You could also take a look at Purgatory Design's Intaglio.
    The cool thing about both OmniGraffle and Intaglio (that's not true for Adobe Illustrator) is they both support LinkBack. What is linkback?
    http://commons.ucalgary.ca/~king/projects/keynoteplugins/linkback/
    Essentially, you can copy a graphic out of OmniGraffle or Intaglio and paste it into Keynote after installing the patch at the website above. Then, even after you've quit the program, if you decide that you need it to be a red-blue gradient instead of a red-black gradient, you just double-click on the graphic. The Linkback enabled program of your choice will then open and you will be able to EDIT that graphic fully. Make it larger smaller, change colors stroke whatever you want to do. When you SAVE that document, those changes are shown in Keynote so either of those could make a nice side app to use with Keynote.
    Finally, if you just want to open a program, draw some pictures then export to a Keynote .key file, EazyDraw can do that. It's a little different from the other programs and some of it's conventions may not be familiar, but once you've gotten the hang of where everything is, it's fine to work with. You can even create separate layers in EazyDraw and have each layer output as a separate slide.

  • Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?

    Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?
    What do I need to do to bring the graphics and exhibits from the PDF file to the Word file?

    Hi jackp52432917,
    How was that PDF file created? Please see  Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
    It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

  • JHeadstart and JSTL - From the AMIS JHeadstart Cookbook

    Using JSTL in JHeadstart Applications - The Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL) provides a set of libraries of standard “custom tags” for inclusion in JSP-pages. They are standardized and an integral part of JSP 2.0 and the J2EE 1.3 specification, but can already be used with JSP 1.1 in J2EE 1.2 application servers such as Tomcat 4 and OC4J 9.0.3. Before too long, application servers will all provide support for the JSTL tags, without even having to include the associated libraries with the application. Besides, JSTL tags are more flexible and versatile as well as richer than the comparable Struts tags. It seems like a fine idea to embrace JSTL as soon as possible.
    You can find a description on how to include JSTL in your JHeadstart applications at: http://www.amis.nl/technology/Cookbook/Recipe%20for%20JSTL.htm.

  • Jagged vector graphics from Illustrator in Indesign

    Using CS3, Leopard, have all updates.
    I'm having problems with vector graphics created in Illustrator getting jagged when dragged from Illustrator to Indesign (or copied and pasted or placed as Illustrator file). They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing. The vector image in question is a rectangle with rounded corners with an "Envelope Distort - make with warp" applied to it. Is the problem that I'm trying to drag an envelope distorted graphic into InDesign? Are there settings to make this work?

    "They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing."
    Doesn't sound like a screen preview issue to me.
    If a placed AI file has jagged edges on print and in PDF, but looks good in Illy, then something is amiss. Your transparency settings could be set to rasterize the line art. Make sure you're using one of the canned flattener presets (high, med, low) if there is any transparency in your page (little checkered icon by the page icon in the page palette).

  • Bringing vector graphics from illustrator photoshop final cut express.

    I'm having a heck of a time getting my logo from illustrator to photoshop to final cut express. It is squishing it. It looks jagged in photoshop. I am cutting and pasting from an eps file to a photoshop doc that is for film and video. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks to anyone who has answers.

    If you have a problem with working with Photoshop you probably want to go to the Adobe forums.
    If you're placing the vector graphic in a Photoshop file make it whatever size you need it to be. You're video image is the square pixel equivalent of 720x540. If you need the logo to fill the frame from edge to edge then make it that size. If you need it smaller, make the PSD smaller.

  • Can I use Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG) in RoboHelp 11 projects?

    I need to import .SVGs into my RoboHelp 11 HTML5 project, but that file type doesn't seem to be supported. I tried pasting the appropriate HTML code into a topic, but the SVG graphic doesn't show. Am I missing something, or is there a work-around?

    Hi folks
    Simple Simon here.
    First off, I totally agree with Erik in that you should file a Feature Request.
    Secondly, I know that many folks aren't really all that keen on mucking with code. So here's one solution that involves minimal code muckage, (yep, muckage is a technical term. I just invented it!)
    Add your SVG to Baggage where you want it.
    Insert an image where you want your SVG to appear.
    Click and drag the SVG from Baggage to the spot just beyond the image.
    Double-click the SVG link and copy what appears in the Link to area. Then delete the link.
    Click once on the image, then click the HTML tab.
    Now just paste what you copied between the img tags.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Scalable vector graphics ?

    Hello,
    Anyone, know what is going on with svg and dreamweaver isnt

    liquid designs in conjunction with css ( I belive it was possible
    with go live).

  • After Effects is warping my imported vector graphics from Illustrator

    I was given an Illustrator vector to import into After Effects. But whenever I import the graphic into a composition it quite literally squishes the image and changes the colours of the graphic slightly.
    I have a feeling that it is not after effects that is creating the problem, but with the illustrator file itself.
    Does anyone know any options in Illustrator that would alter the file to cause this problem? Or why it is behaving like this?
    I also asked the same question in an After Effects forum to see if it is a different problem.
    Thanks for your time.

    See the multiple replies you already got in the AE forum and pleasae stick there. No need to scatter posts and confuse everyone.

  • How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

    I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
    This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
    The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
    I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
    - EPS (with TIFF preview)
    - Windows metafile (.wmf)
    - Enhanced metafile (.emf)
    I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
    From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
    How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

    Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
    From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

  • FAQ: Why are my vector graphics (e.g., from Illustrator) jagged or soft?

    (For a video version of this frequently asked question and answer, click this link.)
    After Effects must convert imported vector graphics to bitmap (raster) graphics. By default, this conversion (called "rasterization") happens once for a layer, and it happens before transformations, like scaling. This means that scaling such a layer up is really scaling a bitmap image, and that can expose jagged pixelation.
    You can tell After Effects to rasterize after transformations like scaling, and to do so once per frame, to ensure that each frame is as crisp as possible. Just click the Continuously Rasterize switch for the layer.
    This is only an issue for imported vector graphics (from Illustrator, SWF, EPS, and PDF files). Vector graphics created in After Effects, like text and shape layers, are always continuously rasterized.
    For more information, see"Continuously rasterize a layer containing vector graphics".

    I'm going to answer my own question and then ask another.... Why?
    When I open just one PDF document it look great. but when i open two, the second
    document always has this fuzziness to the edges. Doesnt matter which documents I open
    This is a close up of two documents opened and the windows placed over each other. As hopefully you can see
    in this screen capture, the one on the right has a furry edge and looks quite rough. Its the document opened second.
    Any ideas?

  • Novice: Can I add vector graphics to a pdf?

    Have Acrobat Pro 7 but have been using it only for creating simple pdfs from Office documents.
    I'm starting my education on other capabilities.
    Can I add vector graphics (shapes, text) to a pdf or do I need to get the pdf into a tool like AI first?
    We're going to be working with maps (GIS output) and, to start, I'm assuming we'll want the maps as pdfs.  In some cases we'll want to add some markup.
    Thanks
    Tom

    As PDF is, essentially, a "non-editable" format (aside from minor touchups) you'll want to work content in an authoring application.
    Output a PDF, containing the vector graphics, from an authoring application.
    Provide the desired PDF page content in an authoring application as well.
    Be well...
