Live Tracing Help With Straight Lines

Hi,
I'm a web dev. I guess I'm a bit (a lot) behind the times still using CS4 and CS5. I primarily work in Photoshop and I'm trying to get better with Illustrator. One -very- common task I would -love- to be able to do efficiently in AI is something like this:
I get a bitmap image, which to the naked eye is pretty much just straight lines. I want to import it into AI and then start tweaking. If I hand draw something with a sharpie and then scan it, it works fine. But very few bitmaps, regardless of how simple, Live Trace in a good way.
I've bought a couple of pricey AI books and they -always- use some really complicated drawing to show how wonderful Live Trace is. And that's the irony: the more complex the bitmap, the -better- it seems to do. It's SIMPLE stuff---like -I- use everyday for web icons and buttons that it does so poorly.
Any bitmap that has some sort of 'shaded' edge... OR is not a straight 90 or 0? fawgeddaboudit.
Always lots of swirls and curves. And then I get frustrated trying to 'simplify' paths.
SO: Are there any 'ninja' secrets to doing this? I've read a couple of posts which basically say 'man up' and learn to hand draw better, but it just seems like AI is so sophisticated that it -should- do this properly and this =must= be user error.
I'm not above girlie-man begging.
TIA,
---JC

This is a sorta typical example:
Maybe it's a little harder than average but to -me-, AI should have some sort of 'edge detection' to convert this to about two dozen straight 'lines'.
But what it -does- is either turn it into a mass of paisley swirls -or- if I use the 'photo' setting, the trace looks mostly like the original, BUT it's created almost 1 path for every frickin' pixel.
What I end up doing---if I really need it---is to trace over it with the mouse, but I confess I'm a LOUSY 'pen drawer' so it often goes awry. Most often? I make a print-out, trace it on paper with a sharpie, then re-scan it into AI. And THEN it will 'Live Trace' OK... seems like a total Rube Goldberg but AI seems to -need- that sharpie.
So... in lieu of going to pen boot camp, I was -hoping- that this was just operator error.
Anyone?

Help with at-line selection event...

Hello experts,
I am currently modifying my report to let the users click on either the asset number or
the equipment number and go to its respective transaction. If he clicks the asset number,
it would take him to transaction AW01N and if he otherwise clicks on the equipment number,
it would take him to transaction IE03. But there are couple of problems that I am facing.
First is, I have hotspotted my field which is named asset_subnum which contains the asset and
the asset subnumber. So it would look like this:
1234567879-0000
Now, can I split it at '-' then put those in 2 variables lets say lv_asset and lv_asset_sub
then I will hide those 2 variables?
Also, I am using field-symbols as my 'work area' of my internal table. How can I declare it in at
line-selection?
Anyway, below is my code guys:
LOOP AT it_output ASSIGNING <fs_output>.
IF <fs_output>-parent IS INITIAL.
        WRITE: (17) <fs_output>-asset_subnum    CENTERED.
      ELSE.
        WRITE: (17) <fs_output>-asset_subnum    RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
      ENDIF.
      FORMAT HOTSPOT OFF.
      WRITE: (17) <fs_output>-parent_subnum     CENTERED,
             (30) <fs_output>-funcloc           CENTERED,
             (40) <fs_output>-description       CENTERED.
      IF p_equip = 'X'.
        FORMAT HOTSPOT ON.
        WRITE: (18) <fs_output>-equip_num       CENTERED.
        FORMAT HOTSPOT OFF.
      ENDIF.
      WRITE: (15) <fs_output>-asset_sub         CENTERED,
             (40) <fs_output>-location          CENTERED,
             (15) <fs_output>-accq_cost         CENTERED,
             (20) <fs_output>-acc_dep           CENTERED,
             (20) <fs_output>-asset_book_val    CENTERED,
             sy-vline.
endloop.
When I try to hide my fields like:
HIDE <fs_output>-equip_num.
it is giving me a dump saying:
HIDE is not allowed for lines of internal tables.
Help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks a lot guys and take care!

Hi viraylab,
Minor Problem.
1. U are using field-symbols,
   and the definition must be of this type
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs> <b>STRUCTURE</b> T001 DEFAULT T001.
(so that u are able to directly use the field names
<FS>-fieldname
2. Hence,
3. instead of
LOOP AT it_output ASSIGNING <fs_output>.
just use
LOOP AT it_output .
(The problem is coming bcos of ASSIGNING)
4. the field symbol will automatically have
the data of the internal table in the loop.
5. To verify this point,
   just copy paste my small code.
6.
report abc.
data : t001 like t001 occurs 0 with header line.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs> STRUCTURE T001 DEFAULT T001.
START-OF-SELECTION.
select * from t001 into table t001.
*------ UNCOMMENT TO GET ERROR / COMMENT 2ND LINE THEN
*loop at t001 ASSIGNING <fs>.
    loop at t001 .
      write :/ <fs>-bukrs.
      hide <fs>-bukrs.
    endloop.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE T001-BUKRS.

amit m.

Need Help with command line arguments for a class method

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its command line arguments which are numbers. For example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the output would be 10.
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a string to a double. I'm ok for writing the class method but I have no idea how to use Convert and why I need it in the method.
Can anybody help please?

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its
command line arguments which are numbers. For
example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the
output would be 10.Okay. So you would receive the numbers to add as the String[] argument to a main method. The steps are simple:
1) declare a variable for the count
2) for each String in the array:
2.1) extract the value as a double
2.2) add this to the count
3) output the resulting count
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a
string to a double.
I'm ok for writing the class
method but I have no idea how to use ConvertThere is no class Convert in the Java API.
and why
I need it in the method. Do you understand you need to somehow convert each String to a double (step 2.1)? Since Convert is unknown to me, maybe you should just take a look at class Double. It can help you do step 2.1, the rest should be trivial enough.

Give it a go and feel free to post back with a specific problem you are having, accurately described if you please :-)

Help with phone line in new home

I hope someone can help me.
I have moved into a new rental flat. There is a telephone socket and the phone still works. I was able to get the number by calling my mobile.
However, how do I find out who this is connected to? Although it is not in my name someone is either going to get a bill at somepoint or a company will be out of pocket.
If I cannot find out who it is connected to, how do I trasnfer it?
I also, only want to get internet access, but if I am required to set up a new telephone, can I only do this with BT? Some years ago I got stung by setting up a phone acount with BT and getting my internet through another provider a day later who transferred the phone line and I ended up having to pay BT a full years contract. How do I avoid this?
Very grateful for assistance.

What happens if you dial 150, do you get connected to BT?
sky use 150 as well so they may well answer the call?

Any filters to help with horizontal line jitters on ntsc monitor

Hey Guys,
I am working on a project that has alot of office forms that appear on screen. The horizontal lines of the forms wiggle like crazy on the ntsc monitor. Is there any filters that can stop the jitters?
I am using FCP studio
Thanks
Ymir

Hi:
You can try with the standard Flicker Filter and adding a very small Blur. You must find the exact recipe for your footage.
Hope that helps !

Urgent - please help with blank lines

Guys need you help, please.
How do I put blank lines in a repeating frame even if there are records or no(about 20 lines with say 5 columns). I need those lines like our ruled notebooks, for the users to enter something.
Thanks
Joe.

These are blank tabular columns(20 rows 5 col). These rows might have names and other details like a master/details relationship. if there are records in details then print all those details and the blank rows to fillup 20 rows. if there are no details then print those 20 blank rows/columns. i tried doing this with one repeating frame and increasing the number of rows value to 20, but then it stops at the point of the detail rows and does not put the blank rows (lines). so had to create 2 repeating frames.

Note that each Branch_Desc has 12 periods called CURRPERIOD,CURPERSUB1,CURPERSUB2 ...... and 12 values for those periods as VALUECURRENTPERIOD, VALUECURRENTPERIODSUB1, VALUECURRENTPERIODSUB2......
I need to create a Line Graph for each Branch for the 12 periods as defined above where VALUECURRENTPERIOD, VALUECURRENTPERIODSUB1 etc. are the values for that period. The current BIPublisher Chart tool only allows one Value and One Label. In my case I have 12 VALUES (VALUECURRENTPERIOD etc.) and 12 LABELS (CURRPERIOD, CURPERSUB1 etc.). The SERIES or LEGEND should be the Branch Desc . So what I am looking for is to plot values(12 values) for 6 branches (so six lines) over a period of time (12 periods).

Hi Tim,
We have this XML data calculated from several tables where the layout was in the format of One account(a Branch in this case) and 12 periodic values for the same . So reformatting the XML is not going to be easy as the source data is like this itself. I tried un-pivioting the table (as this one is already pivoted) but it looks like Oracle doesn't support this feature yet, but is suported in DB2 or SQL. Please take a look at this link
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/database/technology/archives/unpivot-query-12798?close=true
So I am stuck with the data in this format and users want a line graph for each branch over he period of time. May be somone on this forum can figure out how to un-pivot a table in Oracle. Thanks for your help in advance.

Help with Straight Talk on old Verizon Iphone 4S Data Apn

So I have had an old Iphone 4s that once worked on Verizon but I had been using it for over a year as just an IPOD basically with a GPS for Golf app and Music etc. I saw posts about this bring your phone to Walmart and go onto Straight Talk for $45 a month for everything. Sounded good so figured I would try. I purchased a micro Sim for Straight Talk that said it was "compatible with T-Mobile" I didn't know what that meant but figured it was Straight talk and it was a Micro Sim which it didn't look like I could get from Walmart. I got the Sim and unlocked my old Verizon Iphone. I was able to get the Phone working, went through many pains to get Web working but at this point I still can't get Apps that need to connect to the internet to work. Has anyone else figured this out? So again I can use the Phone, I can Text so I have MMS, I can surf with Safari and Maps works without Wifi but if I want to use BofA app or Ebay app that has to use data plan It says it cannot connect to the internet or some message saying it times out. Any idea what more I need to get my full IPhone working on Straight Talk. Also even though I'm on Straight Talk up in the left corner it says T-Mobile, is it supposed to? Not new to Apple but definitely new to straight talk and or any other carriers other than verizon (which everything worked for but was too expensive!!). Thanks for anyone that can help.

That means you hacked the phone.
Sorry, the terms of use here prohibit anyone from helping you.
Good luck.

Help with Bar & Line Chart on dual Axes

I'm attempting to build a chart with 2 series
Series 1 is a total
Series 2 is a percent value
I want Series 1 to be a column and series 2 to be a line
Here is what I tried
right click on the Bar that Iwant to display as line.
Select the series option and then select "Line" from the drop down.
But when I do this both series change even though they on different Axes.
What did I miss?
Thanks
Steve

you should first create a line chart, then click the series and turn to 'riser'.
Thx, Hao

Help with signature line (save as?)

I have created a form in livecycle that lets me fill out a form, I created a button that allows me to send the form (as a PDF, not xml) to a specified email address, this all works great with reader extensions etc. However, If I add a signature line, when the user signs the document (which has been emailed to them) it forces the user to save the signed copy of the file. This tends to be a bit tedious for the users, so I would really like for them to be able to sign it, then hit my submit button and send me a copy of the file, Is there a way to make this happen?

I noticed yesterday that using a dialog could offer a built-in number control.
Making a call to a realEditBox and setting its properties like minimumValue:0, maximumValue:99999 will check natively the inpût.
If it's not numbers it prompts for error. >99999 prompts for error.
But building a dialog just for that goal is probably more time consuming than just use a prompt and check the input.
Wha's a pity is that we can't restreign the input to a range of 5 digits (right now, as long as you type in numbers, the string is just bigger and bigger). So the user could not enter anything else than 5 digits.
I had a look too to scripting on event, considering that maybe you would like to force your end users to save the file thsi way everytime. So if they want to close or save the file, the script could take control over the application and force user to save the files your way.
But it's quite a bit totalitary and not so easy to handle I think so far.
What do you think ?

Help with grid lines please

ive moved to numbers from excel recently and having some trouble getting used to it, id like to view the grid lines but i dont want them to print, i know how to show and remove them, but i want to see the lines and print without them, i dont want to manually do this, i have dozens of spreadsheets i work with.
Thanks.

Hello, s 2 tha b,
Welcome to Numbers!
The charm of Numbers is that it allows several small tables on a "canvas". For example, you could have a Work Table with cell borders (grid lines) and a Print Table with no cell borders (grid lines).
The Print Table copies values from the Work Table with formulas such as =Work Table::A1
You can move the Print Table to another sheet, and print only that sheet.
Welcome to the Magic of Numbers!
Regards,
Ian.

Beginner needs help with adding line breaks...

Hello,
I would like to add line breaks after each of my form fields I tried adding
but it does not work. Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.
<h:form id="calendarForm">
           <h:messages/>
            <h:outputLabel value="login"/><h:inputText id ="login" value="#{AccountJSFManagedBean.login}" required="true"/><h:message showDetail="true" for="login"/>
            <h:outputLabel value="firstName"/><h:inputText id ="fn" value="#{AccountJSFManagedBean.firstName}" required="true"/><h:message showDetail="true" for="fn"/>
            <h:outputLabel value="lastName"/><h:inputText id ="ln" value="#{AccountJSFManagedBean.lastName}" required="true"/><h:message showDetail="true" for="ln"/>
            <h:outputLabel value="email"/><h:inputText id ="email" value="#{AccountJSFManagedBean.email}" required="true"/><h:message showDetail="true" for="email"/>
            <h:outputLabel value="date of birth"/>
            <t:inputCalendar id="secondOne" monthYearRowClass="yearMonthHeader" weekRowClass="weekHeader"
                currentDayCellClass="currentDayCell" value="#{AccountJSFManagedBean.dateOfBirth}" renderAsPopup="true"
                popupTodayString="#{example_messages['popup_today_string']}" popupWeekString="#{example_messages['popup_week_string']}" required="true"/>
             <h:commandButton value="sign up" action="#{AccountJSFManagedBean.signUp}" />
        </h:form>

Which form fields? In the code posted, I don't see where you have tried putting linebreaks.
You can try putting the <BR> tags in f:verbatim tags. Like this:
<f:verbatim><br /></f:verbatim>CowKing

Help with private line configuration

hey,
scenario is i have ccme running at present. we have 2 T1 CAS e&m interfaces working. at present i have COR configured to allow private line users to use those lines and no one else. what i wanted to find out was if it were possible, with my configuration, to associate the private line port, directly with the direct line button, meaning, if he/she presses the direct line button, it will off-hook the port automatically.
issue is that i have an integration with a PBX along the the CME and the COR configured does not apply to the remote end router. therefore, when the lines get saturated (everyone uses the 2t1 on ccme for inbound and outbound), ppl on the pbx end has the ability to use the private line to make outgoing calls.
any ideas will be greatly appreciated. as i have configured a temp solution where the private line users, press 1 then thier number to make the call. its temporary, since the private lines are associated with managers, and they want total transparency therefore, removing the 1.

any ideas welcome

Help with straight-up answer on CS4 Extended and Windows7 64-bit

As a student, I just bought CS4 Extended (actually Design Premium Suite) last year. I can't buy 5 because my AGP video card is crapping and I must buy a whole new system - most of which seem to only offer Win7 64-bit. I haven't read anything that definitively states CS4 Extended (et al) will run on Win7 64-bit. Adobe contact people have all been vaguely yessy/no-ey maybe/so-ey on the subject - they just want to sell me CS5 and that's the end of it. I can't afford a new system *and* CS5. Will I be okay with CS4?
Thank you very much.

Photoshop CS4 will run without emulation or special compatibility settings on Windows 7 x64.
