Lines with pixelated corners..

Whenever I have an open application, there is always this weird border, it consists of about four thin black lines closely spaced on the sides, but in the corner, there are dots, about 1-2 pixels...
Also sometimes when the computer wakes up from sleep, directly under the menu bar there is a bar of lines, about one inch wide (horizontal)...
So is that border just a styling cue that I can turn off, and is that bar a problem, can I fix it? Should I contact Apple?

How do I make a non-closed figure out of lines (continuous, because corners need to line up) of a certain thickness, and then cut it out?

Hi guys
Could you help me with this problem? I suspect it's very simple but I'm a beginner.
I need to create a continuous shape out of lines 15 pixels thick, and then cut it out. I've tried the line tool, using the shift key to add to endpoints, but then the corners do not end up exactly. I've also tried the path key on the pen tool, but this always closes the shape for me, which is not what I want. The shape IS the line.
I've attached a picture of a basic sketch of the shape I'd like to produce. Can any of you give me any advice? Thank you.

Draw a baseline guide to snap the pen tool to where you want the lines to line up If you're using CS6 or later, use the stroke so you can edit the line.

For those with pixel rendering issues and slowness issues

For anyone who doesnt know these little details when designing in Catalyst, I thought I would share and hopefully ease some peoples frustrations. Lets kick off with pixel issues.
You have either vector, raster, or components that are either: not aligning with everything else around it, even though it has the same X/Y value, the rounded corners of a rectangle vector object are distorted, or anything else you have experienced with pixel distortion or pixels just not lining up properly. Here is the issue. When you drag and drop an object from the library, wireframe components, or draw a new shape, it can have a decimal level pixel value. It does not say this in the property inspector though. So you may have a rectangle at a listed X/Y of 10,15 but it could actually be 10.3, 14.9. To fix this you have to type in a new value of at least 1 number higher or lower. Deleting the value and typing the same number in doesnt do anything. Neither does moving it with the arrow keys in hopes of it moving it to a whole pixel value. The arrow keys move by 1 pixel (or 10 if holding down shift). This should take care of most of your problems.
Now you may still have problems with the corners of rounded rectangles if you converted it to an Optimized Vector Graphics. For you Flash Pro users, from what I can tell, using "Optimize Vector Graphics" is basically the same as (in Flash) converting a vector shape into a MovieClip and in the property inspector, checking the "Cache as Bitmap" box. That option has Flash create a bitmap version of the vector shape so that it will not be re-drawn every frame, which is what the Flash player does with vector objects. So because it is converting your vector into raster, it kinda has issues with rounded corners when you have a stroke on the shape and pretty much only if you have a stroke. If you take the stroke off, and use Optimize Vector Graphics, you shouldn't have that problem anymore. But what if you needed that stroke? Simple, duplicate that shape, change its fill color to what you want the "stroke" color to be, increase its size by 2 pixels on the width and height for every number of thickness that you wanted with the stroke, and then set the X/Y of the "stroke" rectangle to a pixels less for whatever the "thickness" of your stroke is.
Example:
Rectangle - width:20, height:10, desired stroke thickness:2, X:10, Y:10
Rectangle Stroke - width: 24, height:14, X:8, Y:8
Rectangle - width:100, height:30, desired stroke thickness:1, X:15, Y:27
Rectangle Stroke - width:102, height:32, X:14, Y:26
It wont look perfect but its pretty close if you do this and then draw a rectangle beside it with a real stroke. And if you still want to use Optimize Vector Graphics on it, just group the two rectangles together and then use Optimize on the group and no more distorted corners. This also applies to vector shapes in Flash Pro.
Lastly to talk about the slowness of Catalyst. You may or may not have read the posts from Adobe employees, but I can tell you that having fewer states helps with the responsiveness of it, but so does using the Optimize Vector Graphics as much as possible. I am working in a large scale project, and just from me converting all my vector background shapes, which was around 13 used across 6 main states, it helped significantly with Catalyst being more responsive for me.
Hoped this long post helped some people with any similar issues you might be having.

I noticed with my Charge phone that when I get a call the FIRST ring is highly muted (quite soft) and then all rings after that are full volume.
I wish that even the first ring was load (full volume) but I accept the fact that that is how GB 2.3.6 works. Anyone know how to change this?

Strange lines in pixel-preview mode

Hi! I have a problem.
When I'm drawing something with two windows (one is usual other in pixel preview) I have some strange white lines in pixel preview window. How can I solve it?
Hope picture will clarify my question.
Link to full size picture: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33643074/white-lines.png

There are no white lines in output icon. These lines are not objects, they are just bugs of Illustrator. When I zoom out and immediately zoom in window with pixel preview - white lines dissapear. But when I change something in usual window (moving any object or rotate) these lines appear again (only in pixel-preview window)!

Mysterious line of pixels

(New to Discussions)
Problem- I'm getting these weird lines appearing on both the Macbook Pro LCD and my external LCD. It happens completely random and no crashing of apps occurs. It shows up on the desktop, Safari, FCP, and almost all other apps. It's not that big of a deal and sometimes you can move a Finder window over it to make it disappear. But it is bothering me when doing some editing and web design. I have captured a screenshot of it occurring in Safari.
http://www.sethmccollum.info/Picture_1.png

I have this as well, and it has been an issue for about 3 or 4 months now. I thought it could be an overheating issue, but have seen it happen when I have SMC fans running max speed and my MBP being at a low temp.
I wish someone knew what was causing this.
Also, i had spilt water on my AC adapter about 7 months ago, and it ran fine until just recently it started to smoke so I went ahead and bought a new ac adapter...one of my thoughts was that my bad Ac adapter was sending too high of a voltage causing graphical errors within my MBP...not sure if that is the case cause I have not seen any of these lines of pixels since I bought a new adapter. Along with these pixel lines everyone is seeing, my computer sometimes freezes when using graphics heavy programs (Photoshop/iphoto/watching a video on iTunes @ same time ect) And am not sure if it is linked to the graphical pixel lines.
Hope someone can help, here is a picture of the pixel lines I managed to get:

Solid line of pixels in my warped gradient. Can anyone explain/help?

Hello all,
So this is very odd. Here's the breakdown and steps I've taken so far.
I create a new layer and fill it with black. Then I make a new layer and make a marquee selection. Within the marquee selection, I fill the new layer with a color to transparent gradient fill. I then take the new gradient layer and warp it using the "FLAG" preset. I adjust the bend to 20% and commit the warp/transformation. I get the curve I want, but right in the middle of the curve, running straight up the layer, is a solid line of pixels. It's almost as if, that one little line missed out on both the gradient itself as well as the warp effect.
Very odd indeed. Can anyone please explain what might be happening with that?
Much appreciated.

Gerbert2001, I had tested in CS6 as the OP had not mentioned their version and could not reproduce the issue.
But in Photoshop CC I also get offending results.

Drawing lines with smooth curves

Hi,
I'm trying to make a map for an underground system in a PC game and I want something similar to the one Transport for London has:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.gif
I'm a total newbie with Adobe Illustrator, but I'm trying it as I've heard it's what Transport for London uses.
My question is then, what would be the easiest way of accomplishing multiple lines with different colours and smooth curves, like the lines in my reference picture?
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Martin,
In addition to what Kurt said, you may draw paths with straight segments and then round the corners afterwards, using Effect>Stylise>Round Corners (you may Object>Expand Appearance to obtain actual roundings).

Using actionListeners to move a line 20 pixels in every direction

I'm trying to create an actionListener for a button. I need to be able to click on the button and move a line 20 pixels in every direction. But i have no idea how to do this. I'm supposed to have an object in my ColoredLine class that allows for me to use with the ActionListener class but I don't even know what that means. Here is my ButtonForLine class that implements listener and my ColoredLine class that gives the original line.
public class ButtonForLine implements ActionListener {
          public int q;
          public int w;
          public int e;
          public int r;
          public Color color;
public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent e ) {
     ColoredLine move= new ColoredLine;
public ButtonForLine( ) {
     q = (left + 20);
     w = (top + 20);
     e = (right + 20);
     r = (bottom + 20);
public class ColoredLine implements Drawable {          //creates all instance fields for entire class
     private int left;          //colored lines store the positions of their left, top, right, bottom, and color
     private int top;          // of their lines. It also stores the same positions for the twin lines.
     private int right;
     private int bottom;
     private Color color;
     private int q;
     private int w;
     private int e;
     private int r;
Creates a colored line. It calls for the new positons of the color swatch.
@param x1 the top left of the line
@param y1 the top of the line
@param x2 the bottom right of the line
@param y2 the bottom of the line
@param c the color of the line
public ColoredLine( int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, Color c) {
     left = x1;
     top = y1;
     right = x2;
     bottom = y2;
     color = c;
Draw a colored line using a graphics context
@param g the graphics context used to draw the line
public void draw( Graphics2D g ) {
     g.setColor( color );
     g.drawLine( left, top, right, bottom );
public ColoredLine move() {
     q= (left + 20);
     w= (top + 20);
     e= (right + 20);
     r= (bottom + 20);
     ColoredLine moved = new ColoredLine( q, w, e, r, color );
     return moved;
}

How can i draw a straight line with a brush?

i know the pencil tool can draw a straight line with anchor points. is there a setting for the pencil tool that can mimic a 30 point brush, low hardness (faded side to side) at about an 80 degree angle or is there a way to make a straight line with the brush tool using a mouse?
i know this image is a bit blurry. what i want to do is replace the 2 white angled lines with the 30 point brush effect 230 pixels wide. the project on the left of the pic is a 2ft by 4ft canvas. any ideas? please help.

Hello Mike, I wonder if you can help, no one else can. I asked this question on the forum in August Brush line fades on start with anchor points
Only on Photoshop CC does this happen, drawing a diagonal line with shift key, instead of line starting dark & then fading out, it does the reverse, starts on nothing & then darkens towards anchor point. I am on trial versions & can't purchase until this is cleared up.

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
Good afternoon everyone...
THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
A……………………… B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
A……………………………………………………B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYY
And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
A………………………. B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
A………………… …B…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
My SPECIFIC CASE
I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
Can the line be made to WRAP????..
In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
Tony Calabrese.

Steve,
you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
This thing is SO frustrating!
Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
So it looks like:
&col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
...................................ppppp
AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
Have you ever come across anything like this?
Thankyou again,
Tony Calabrese 12/4/2007

Can you switch to alternate phone on line with edge payment?

I have a need to temporarily from time to time switch to an alternate phone on a line I currently have Edge payments on. I will continue to keep and use the phone I'm making edge payments on, but if I take the SIM out and put it in another phone for a few days, will that affect my monthly Edge payments? I won't be putting a different SIM in the phone I'm making payments on.
Anyone have experience with this?

lewisr13 and mrhelper thanks for the responses. To clarify, I have an iPhone currently on a line with edge payments being made on that phone. I may temporarily from time to time need to switch to an Android phone on that line. I would like to keep making Edge payments on that iPhone and not have to pay it off all at once if I switch to the other phone temporarily. I have no plans to put the iphone on another line during that time and that Android phone won't be purchased via that line or any other line on my account. It would be simple swapping of SIM from iPhone to Android phone and back.
I'm just trying to avoid getting hit for the whole cost of the iPhone at once and prefer to keep my monthly Edge payments for it...that's my primary goal or what I want to understand.
