Lining up effects on text aligned to circle

I'm working on text that will go on a cd.
The text I'm trying to create is actually two sets of outlined text that have gradients and effects applied to them.
The client wants the text aligned in an arc approach on the cd - so what I did is created a circle and then typed on the path. When I turned that text into outlines and tried to apply gradients, I haven't been able to figure out how to make the gradients line up with the text.
I'll attach a picture with a quick mockup of the text with the effects and the shape I'm trying to get it into above it (somehow maintaining the placement of the gradients)
Is there any way to do this?

ijosh,
Firstly, there is no need to outline the type: in the Appearance palette options flyout you may Add New Fill and apply the gradient to that, just as you may Add New Stroke.
Secondly, using the circle(s) and applying the radial gradient(s) (to the new fill(s) as above) as suggested by Scott will give you precise and easy placement and adjustment; among other things, you can easily centre the circle(s), adjust with Baseline Shift in the Character palette, and freely adjust the size of characters relative to the size of the circle/arc. You may use a few circles to determine the Gradient Slider % values.
Is it possible in CS whatever to change a linear gradient to a blend so its is possible to just bend the type?

JDeveloper 10.1.3.4: text-align for table column has no effect

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. In a tabe I have a column that displays numbers, which are left-aligned by default:
Applied
$50.00
$2,160.00
$50.00
$2,260.00I want to have them aligned to the right to look neater:
Applied
         $50.00
      $2,160.00
         $50.00
      $2,260.00Or better still, have the cell with the longest string aligned to the center, and all the other cells align to it by the decimal point:
    Applied
      $50.00
   $2,160.00
      $50.00
   $2,260.00I looked in the property inspector and the only thing that looks closest to the purpose is text-align. I set this attribute to right (text-align:right) for the column, and for the outputText, but neither has effect. Everything is still flush to the left. How to get it right?
Thanks!

Hi, Branislav,
Nice meeting you again.
Last time the question was about formatting the total amount returned from the method, from String to Number, Re: JDeveloper does not handle expert SQL, cannot add query clause in view link, which can also format the number as currency.
This time, your answer again solved my problem. I was looking in the inline styling section, and did not notice this property in the General section. Thank you so much for your help!

JTable text alignment issues when using JPanel as custom TableCellRenderer

Hi there,
I'm having some difficulty with text alignment/border issues when using a custom TableCellRenderer. I'm using a JPanel with GroupLayout (although I've also tried others like FlowLayout), and I can't seem to get label text within the JPanel to align properly with the other cells in the table. The text inside my 'panel' cell is shifted downward. If I use the code from the DefaultTableCellRenderer to set the border when the cell receives focus, the problem gets worse as the text shifts when the new border is applied to the panel upon cell selection. Here's an SSCCE to demonstrate:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
import sun.swing.DefaultLookup;
public class TableCellPanelTest extends JFrame {
private class PanelRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {
    private JLabel label = new JLabel();
    public PanelRenderer() {
      GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(this);
      layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      setLayout(layout);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
      if (isSelected) {
        setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
      } else {
        setBackground(table.getBackground());
      // Border section taken from DefaultTableCellRenderer
      if (hasFocus) {
        Border border = null;
        if (isSelected) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusSelectedCellHighlightBorder");
        if (border == null) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder");
        setBorder(border);
        if (!isSelected && table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
          Color col;
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellForeground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setForeground(col);
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellBackground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setBackground(col);
      } else {
        setBorder(null /*getNoFocusBorder()*/);
      // Set up our label
      label.setText(value.toString());
      label.setFont(table.getFont());
      return this;
public TableCellPanelTest() {
    JTable table = new JTable(new Integer[][]{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
    // set up a custom renderer on the first column
    TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    firstColumn.setCellRenderer(new PanelRenderer());
    getContentPane().add(table);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new TableCellPanelTest().setVisible(true);
}There are basically two problems:
1) When first run, the text in the custom renderer column is shifted downward slightly.
2) Once a cell in the column is selected, it shifts down even farther.
I'd really appreciate any help in figuring out what's up!
Thanks!

1) LayoutManagers need to take the border into account so the label is placed at (1,1) while labels just start at (0,0) of the cell rect. Also the layout manager tend not to shrink component below their minimum size. Setting the labels minimum size to (0,0) seems to get the same effect in your example. Doing the same for maximum size helps if you set the row height for the JTable larger. Easier might be to use BorderLayout which ignores min/max for center (and min/max height for west/east, etc).
2) DefaultTableCellRenderer uses a 1px border if the UI no focus border is null, you don't.
3) Include a setDefaultCloseOperation is a SSCCE please. I think I've got a hunderd test programs running now :P.

How do i form text in a circle?

How do I form texdt in a circle using Illustrator CS4?

Beverly,
As I (mis)understand it:
1) Create a circle;
2) With the Path Type Tool Click where you want the text to start, or have its centre, or end, depending on the Paragraph style, and just start typing.
If you wish to have the text symmetrically at the top, use Paragraph>Align Center and click the top Anchor Point. Then the text will spread symmetrically to both sides as you type.
Basically, the text is on top of the circle. You may adjust that in the Character palette, using Baseline Shift. You may flip the text opposite, or drag the text round the circle, by dragging at the I beam.

Spry bar text alignment

I need help with aligning text in main spry bar menu. Using DW 5.5, I have a 7 bank bar and 2 have 2 lines, remainder have 1. I need to BOTTOM align everything. I've look through forums, help menus, and u-tube and can not find this answer.
I would also like to not have fixed widths, but widths varied per text length, but when I do that, obviously the 2 lined text banks turn into one line.

How to change the text alignment of an adf table column

Hi everyone
I have a read only adf table that uses banding. What I want to do is change the text align property of one of it's columns but the task seems not at all trivial.
I tried entering a value for the text-align property in the inline style of the specific af:column tag and failed. I then tried to do the same for the af:outputText element inside the column but still nothing worked. I even created a css style and changed the StyleClass attribute on each or both elements without any luck.
Can anybody shed some light here ...
Thanassis

Specify the text-align in a css.

How can I make my text in a circle?

I am designing some new biz cards, and I saw some that were a circle and SUPER cute. I'd like to create my own.
How do I create my text in a circle? I'd like to have some info in the middle of the circle, and some actually bending around the circle.
I am of course using Pages.
xoxo
Aimee

Pages doesn't have any built-in feature for circular text.
Either you start with Art Text 2, a separate application or you do it manually. Here is how http://i-work-in-pages.blogspot.com/2010/03/curving-text-in-pages-suggestion.htm l

Hyphenation & text-align:justify in PDF's with CFDOCUMENT

Hello everybody!
We are using CF8.1 and are having problems of generating well designed PDF outputs with CFDOCUMENT. We would like to print out reports, which are hyphenated and have the text aligned. Example:
This works fine:
<html lang="en">
<STYLE>p { width:260px;background-color:blue;-moz-hyphens: auto; -o-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; -ms-hyphens: auto; -hyphens: auto;text-align:justify}</STYLE>
<P>Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer</P>
</html>
This won't:
<CFDOCUMENT FORMAT="PDF">
<html lang="en">
<STYLE>p { width:260px;background-color:blue;-moz-hyphens: auto; -o-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; -ms-hyphens: auto; -hyphens: auto;text-align:justify}</STYLE>
<P>Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer</P>
</html>
</CFDOCUMENT>
Do you have any solutions on this topics? Are do I have to wait until CF11.
Thanks in advance

Now, the problem is that, while the client likes this, they don't like that the headers and footers are grayed out and the colors are not as vibrant in Word as the program part I created and saved as a PDF.
They're being a bit impractical in their complaints, in fact they remind me of my Dad! The final product is still fine.

That's fair enough, the solution would be to make the text in the header and footer an image instead.

So my question is, can I create a PDF that has the same features with the expandable text control boxes. If I can, would you recommend InDesign to do this?
No you can't. I'm pretty sure you can't create a PDF with expandable boxes and I'm very sure that you can't create a PDF that will add pages with headers and footrs. However you can create a PDF with basic fillable text boxes, they're called forms and you need Acrobat as well to do it, google it and you'll find plenty of info.

New to CSS, text-align and line-height ok in 'Design', but not in browsers (IE 10 & Chrome) on Win8

Not sure what it is you are trying to do but what you have at the moment is invalid code which is most likely why it doesn't work cross browser. (of cousre this css does not help - line-height: 3.0; - 3.0 what? - px, ems?)
Here's an example below of how you could do it. Give your table a class (below it is called .myTable) then you can start styling the <td> cell, and anything inside it by appending the element like an <h2> tag to the class name - .myTable h2
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

.myTable td {

width: 150px;
.myTable h2 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
text-align:center;
color: black;

line-height: 50px;

Sync Text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP

Hi,
How to sync text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP ?
I tried setting the dimensions of HTMLEditor and PDF in pixels by calculating the size in Pixels for A4 paper size with a particular dpi value.
Have done the font settings as well. The problem is I see uneven line cuts in the PDF as compared to HTMLEditor.
Thanks.

It's not a realistic expectation. You are expecting the PDF produced by whoever provided your FOP implementation to observe exactly the same typographical rules as HTMLEditor. Basically it won't, and there is no way to enforce it. Line breaking/hyphenation/word spacing algorithms can be of great complexity. You are expecting two systems that aren't specified to agree, to agree.

How can I wrap text in a circle in pages? (Or any other way)

Thanks

What exactly do you mean "wrap text in a circle"? Wrap around a circular object such as a text object, like this:
Just insert the object from the insert menu > Shapes.
If you mean something else, yo will need to be a little more detailed.

BUG:text-align:right; inline style not working on read-only af:InputText

Hello,
A bug in how af:InputText works if readonly=true. I have an af:InputText that has "text-align:right;" for the InlineStyle. The inputText is inside of an af:Column in af:Table. If the inputtext is readonly=false, it works properly and renders right-aligned. If readonly=true, then it renders left-aligned. I have also tried setting inlineStyle for the column to text-align:right;, and I get the same behavior.
Regards,
John

John,
Try adding formatType="number" to your af:column (if you want all data in that column aligned to the right). If you don't want the entire column right aligned, try using disabled instead of readonly.

ADF Faces OutputText text-align

I´m working in an ADF Faces Application, a column in a table is showed using an outputText but the customer wants its value is showed right align.
I've tried the propertie inlineStyle="text-align:right;" in the outputText but it's not working correctly.
I think that inlineStyle="text-align:right;" doesn't work with outputText.
Are there any solution to align text in a af:outputText?
Thanks in advanced

TableView: column header text alignment?

How can I change the text alignment of a TableView column caption/header? I'd like some of my column headers to be right aligned for example?
It works for regular table cells when I change f.i. the css of the custom DataFX MoneyTableCell cell:
.money-cell {
   -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}but it won't work for the ".table-view .column-header" style of the standard TableView:
.table-view .column-header,
.table-view .filler,
.table-view .column-drag-header {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

Just after raising this I realised the problem is that the text is a label on top of the header. You can right align by using the following selector:
.table-view .column-header .label {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}
