New to FW - how to resize a simple vector graphic?

I'm brand new to Fireworks and just downloaded the trial version of CS5 a couple hours ago. I hunted around and watched some of the tutorials but haven't found an answer to my question so I'll take the easy way and ask here!
I've got an existing png file I need to modify to use as elements to a website I'm building in Dreamweaver. There are a couple vector based boxes that I need to change the dimensions of. They've got rounded corners and a stroke border. Question: How do I simply lengthen the width of these boxes without changing the shape of the corners?

Jim, double clicking on the objects didn't work for me. Here's what I had to do:
1. select the object w/ black pointer
2. go to Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol
3. specify as graphic and enable 9-slice
4. change the width numerically in the properties inspector.
Thanks,
John

How to copy and paste vector graphics

I have a program that draws curves and I would like to copy and paste them as a path into Adobe Photoshop.
I am using the Clipboard class (Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard()), but I
do not know what string I should use for the StringSelection argument in the setContents method. I tried the
string that describes my curves in PostScript.
But that didn't even work for pasting into Adobe Illustrator, although Illustrator is capable of opening
a PostScript file. (However Photoshop only opens a PostScript file as a bitmap, not as a path.)
With Illustrator, instead of pasting the curves, it just pasted the PostScript text.
Please help.
Thanks.

For me, freehep is the fifth hit when googling "java vector graphics library". But of course I don't get to "[Access hidden information|http://www.copernic.com/en/products/agent/index.html]" without paying up :).
For a simpler way: since you already say you can save to postscript, make a temporary ps file and export it in a file list (keywords "java drag and drop files"). Perhaps Illustrator then opens the file and the user can copy/paste it there. Otherwise you have to figure out what Illustrator expects on the clipboard and put it there in the same format.
Another option might be to use some com wrapper to talk to Illustrator directly (but probably need a commercial com wrapper for that).

How can I make ANY vector graphics with graphics2D and save on clipboard?

I am at my wits end here, and need some help. Simply put, I have a program that creates a basic x-y graph, drawn in a jpanel. I want to create the graph as a vector (emf, eps, svg, I don't care anymore, any of them would be good). But, all I get is a jpg or bitmap.
I tried using the infamous FreeHEP programs, but it won't recognize the output as anything but "image" which means bitmap/jpg.
     The user enters x/y data, clicks a button, which crreates a jpanel thusly:
public class GraphMaker extends JPanel {
static BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(600, 500, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
GraphMaker(double[] xVals, double[] yVals, double[] sems){
setPreferredSize(new Dimension (600,500));
symSize = 10;
XminV = 0;
XmaxV = 0;
// code here just converts input x and y's to pixel coordinates, spacing of ticks, etc...
for (int i =0;i < ArLn; i++){
gX[i] = xO + (gX[i] * xRat);
gX[i] -= xStart;
gY[i] = gY[i] * yRat;
gY[i] = yEnd - gY;
semVal[i] = semVal[i]*yRat;
     Ymin = yEnd - (Ymin*yRat);
     Ymax = yEnd - (Ymax*yRat);
BufferedImage anImage = new BufferedImage(600, 500, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2 = anImage.createGraphics();
g2.setBackground(white);
g2.setColor( Color.WHITE );
g2.fillRect(0,0,600,500);
g2.setStroke(stroke);
// here I use the values to draw lines and circles - nothing spectacular:
          g2.setPaint(Color.blue);
          int ii = 0;
          for ( int j = 0; j < ArLn[ii]; j++ ) {
g2.fill(new Ellipse2D.Float(LgX[ii][j] - symOffst, gY[ii][j]-symOffst, symSize,symSize));
g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(LgX[ii][j],(gY[ii][j]-semVal[ii][j]),LgX[ii][j],(gY[ii][j]+semVal[ii][j])));
g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(LgX[ii][j]-2.0f,(gY[ii][j]-semVal[ii][j]),LgX[ii][j]+2.0f,(gY[ii][j]-semVal[ii][j])));
g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(LgX[ii][j]-2.0f,(gY[ii][j]+semVal[ii][j]),LgX[ii][j]+2.0f,(gY[ii][j]+semVal[ii][j])));
                    g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(xLoVal[ii],yLoVal[ii],xHiVal[ii],yHiVal[ii]));
image = anImage;
And, when the user clicks on the "copy" button, invokes this:
public class Freep implements Transferable, ClipboardOwner {
     public static final DataFlavor POSTSCRIPT_FLAVOR = new DataFlavor("application/postscript", "Postscript");
     private static DataFlavor[] supportedFlavors = {
          DataFlavor.imageFlavor,
          POSTSCRIPT_FLAVOR,
          DataFlavor.stringFlavor
     private static JPanel chart;
     private int width;
     private int height;
     public Freep(JPanel theGraph, int width, int height) {
          this.theGraph = Graphs;
          this.width = width;
          this.height = height;
//******This is the key method right here: It is ALWAYS imageFlavor, never anything else. How do I make this an EPS flavor?
     public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
if (flavor.equals(DataFlavor.imageFlavor)) {
return GraphMaker.image;
else if (flavor.equals(POSTSCRIPT_FLAVOR)) {
               return new ByteArrayInputStream(epsOutputStream().toByteArray());
else if (flavor.equals(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)) {
               return epsOutputStream().toString();
          } else{
               throw new UnsupportedFlavorException(flavor);
     private ByteArrayOutputStream epsOutputStream() throws IOException {
EPSDocumentGraphics2D g2d = new EPSDocumentGraphics2D(false);
g2d.setGraphicContext(new org.apache.xmlgraphics.java2d.GraphicContext());
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
          return supportedFlavors;
     public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor) {
          for(DataFlavor f : supportedFlavors) {
               if (f.equals(flavor))
                    return true;
          return false;
     public void lostOwnership(Clipboard arg, Transferable arg1) {
The same happens with FreeHEP - I want the flavor to be EMF, but the program sees an image so it is always imageFlavor. I know I am missing something, but what, I don't know.
thanks for your help.

I don't think there's a built-in solution. One workaround I've seen is to create a dummy graphics class that overrides the desired drawing functions. Instead of actually drawing pixels, the object writes postscript commands to a buffer. There also seems to be commercial code that does exactly this.

How can I load bitmaps/vector graphics in my application using only actionscript 3.0?

I want to have DisplayObject that will randomly contain bitmaps/vectors from some database. I want to implement this using only code. How?

use the loader class:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("image1.jpg"));
addChild(loader); // or, yourdisplayobject.addChild(loader)

How do I edit individual vector graphics on a background layer?

I am using Photoshop CS6. I have a .psd file with a background layer that has a sublayer called "bitmap".
I want to resize the rectangles on the background layer, and add additional "button" graphics, but am unable to edit any one shape.

I was a bit confused as there were vector masks and layer masks that I was able to reveal from the Layer menu.

How to crop or mask vector graphic compositions?

Hi Team,
I'm loving Fireworks CS5, and want to take advantage the CSS & Images export features. This, of course, requires that design elements fit into the rectangles to be used as the "div containers" and do not overlap them. Often the original design of the element exceeds the dimensions of the container. Is there a way to crop the composition?
Here's an example:
I want to add a bit of shadow at the ends of the rectangles below.
Step 1: I've created shadowy elipses to partially overlay the ends of the rectangle.
Step 2: I overlay the ends of the rectangle
Step 3: Now I'm stuck. Can't find a way to mask, punch, or crop the resulting composition to produce a result similar to the "flattened bitmap" below.
Can this be done? It would be great if I could continue to edit the source components as vectors and didn't have to flatten to bitmap.
Many thanks,
Monu

Sorry Linda,
Your advice made perfect sense, and paste-inside looks good on screen. However, when exporting to CSS, I'm getting the error "header_bg_elipse_right overlaps with header_bg".It seems that having the handles poking out beyond the dimensions of the mask upsets the export
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Monu

Hi and welcome to the lenovo forum,
the quickstart itself will/ is install/ed in hidden folders on the windows partition. Installed as a normal program and de-/re-installable , its available in the download driver section .
Next ..that used free software has no spy/nag or virus in ..
Important is Do as a first step , backup/save the whole hdd on an extra media external hdd i.e.because changing position and size you could loose your recovery function...!
Resize and Partition/correction will easy managed by partioning tool in windows after apply it restarts and do the action for you...
Aware you can loose with grub and linux install your recovery feature ... quickstart is totally independed about that..so if that proggy is activated in BIOS/or windows ...and you have installed i.e. linux, see whats happen when you start ... start ...quickstart will comes first , you can use quickstart or ... if you didnt press any key while starting (boot-progress) it will go further, grubloader comes up now you can choose boot to windows or linux ...

1. Create a BitmapData of the correct size of the full image
2. Use BitmapData.setPixels to create pixel data from your byteArray
3. Make a new Bitmap, Bitmap.bitmapData = BitmapData
4. Create a matrix with the correct scaling factors for your thumbnail
5. Create a new BitmapData the size of your thumb
6. Use BitmapData.draw to draw your image data from the Bitmap to the new BitmapData with the scaling matrix
7. Use BitmapData.getPixels to create a bytearray from your thumb BitmapData
8. save it
You'll have to look up the AS3 reference to see how all these methods work.

How to resize a jpg/gif file to a fix size using jimi ?

I have search from the web and didn't find any example on doing this.
Can any one give example on how to resize a jpg image. let say 120x240
to a fixed size 40x40 ?
thank you

Hi.
When you got that image in form of a file, just load it and invoke the image's getScaledInstance(...)-method.
Here's how it could work:
import java.awt.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
// define where the image comes from:
URL toImage = new URL("file:/C:/test.jpg"); // or the like
// get the image:
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(toImage);
// scale the image to target size (40x40 here):
Image smallImage = image.getScaledInstance(40, 40, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
// you might want to do other things like displaying it afterwards
}HTH & cheers,

Take a look at this guide.

Create The Extension Segment
Transaction: WE31
The first step in extending an IDoc is to create the new segments that will go into that IDoc. There are some rules that you need to follow when creating the segments:
- The name of each segment type must start with Z1
- For each field in the segment you need to define a field name and a
data element.
- The data element for the segment structure must be of data type CHAR.
How to create new segments:
Run the segment maintenance transaction WE31.
Type your new segment name, and click on Create.
Define the fields of your segment:
Field name
Data Element for the field (from the ABAP dictionary).
Do not change the Export length!
Save the segment
Run Segment -->Check to check the segment for consistency.
Release the segment for transport. Select Edit -->Set Release. Note that the Release column now has a check mark.
Create the Extension IDoc Type
Transaction: WE30
After you create the segments to be added to the extension type, you can create the extension type itself. Execute transaction WE30, enter the extension name, select Extension type, and click Create. You now have three options:
Create new type: Does not refer to other extension types
Create copy: Copies info from an extension type that already exists
Create successor: Extends an extension type from a previous release
of R/3. You can only have one version of an extension type for
each release.
Enter the Basic IDoc type that this extension type will extend.
The screen now shows the structure of the IDoc type you used as
a reference.
Position the cursor on one of the segments and click Create. This will insert an extension segment as a child of the selected segment.
NOTE: A segment cannot appear more than once in an IDoc type! You must control the use of duplicate segments with the segment attributes (the next screen).
The segment attribute screen appears. Enter the information and save.
Extension segments should not be mandatory (for future upgrades), and will need to have minimum and maximum number of instances defined. This answers the question, for each instance of the parent segment, how many instances of the child segment may we have?
You can press the Segment Editor pushbutton to view or change the segment definition.
Create the new Message Type
You can only use an extension IDoc type by assigning it to a message type. You can create a new message type for this.
First the message type itself needs to be created.
Transaction: WE81
Create a new entry and save. Use SAP established customer naming conventions (good form is to start with a Z and retain the rest of the related SAP message type, so, for example, MATMAS becomes ZMATMAS).
After creating the message type, associate it with the corresponding Basic IDoc Type and Extension Type. This relationship is used when IDocs are sent to or received from a partner to determine what segments are valid and what the hierarchy for those segments is.
Transaction: WE82
Create a new entry and enter the Message type, Basic IDoc type, Extension type, and Release, and save your data. Note: the release assignment is not valid for prior SAP releases.
One message type can be associated with many basic IDoc types; however, you need a one-to-one relationship for distribution via ALE.

How to resize JPanel at Runtime ??

Hi,
Our Project me t a problem as below, we hope to resize JPanel at Runtime , not at design time, ie, when we first click the button called "Move JPanel" , then we click the JPanel, then we can drag it around within main panel, but we hope to resize the size of this JPanel when we point to the border of this JPanel then drag its border to zoom in or zoom out this JPanel.
Please advice how to do that??
Thanks in advance.

How to resize my monitor resolution in OS X 10.5.8

Hello I have a question I am new to mac and I was trying to resize my desktop resolution. I'm using a 720i TV utilizing the HDMI and using the convertor to make it DVI and for some reason when I use the 720 resolution its all off center and it won't let me resize it like it does in Windows but it works when i have it at 1280 x 960 problem is I don't want that resolution it doesn't look as good on my TV. I have tried everything and can't find any software that will allow me to do this. And I use the same monitor for my Windows machine and it works perfect PLEASE HELP

Yeah..... I know that I want to know how to resize a resolution the 1280 x 720 doesn't show up right it's making everything go off the sides so I can't see everything on my desktop in windows my nvidia control panel would allow me to resize my monitor to fit any resolution i want to know how to do that on a mac

How to resize all pages -Acrobat 9 Pro Extended ? ?

I came across a pre-existing pdf file of an old book of genealogy. According to the front pages, it was 'Digitized by Microsoft', so I know nothing on how it was generated. Total pages are in excess of 1,100.
In viewing the pages, they are reflected as 2 pages to a view; not the book opened with the spine in the middle, but images side by side ... in numerical order ... and they appear as a normal sized 2 page for that view. When I print out a page, by number, it also prints out in a normal size on an 8x11 inch sheet of paper.
However, rather than print page by page on individual sheets of paper, I want to print out multiple pages, 2 to a sheet of paper. In doing this, the images of the pages come up as 3x5 inch; thus not readable if printed without the usage of magnifier.
Not that familiar with the program, but tried to do a resize process by setting some adjustments and then to a new pdf file. It did not change that much ... and increased the file size dramatically.
I am a novice to these processes. Can someone advise how to resize the whole file, with images of pages side by side, so that when multiple print is used for 2 pages the size comes up closer to something like 5x7 inch each?
Thanks

Let me try it this way.....
1. The pdf file, when initially opened up, in the opening view shows 2 simotaneous pages side by side ... with hardly a divider between them. This at this point has nothing to do with the print mode.
2. The book in question was 'Digitized by Microsoft' ... don't know if that makes any difference, but thought it would help to under stand that it was not created by the normal Adobe Acrobat method.
3. Now, when I go to the Print mode, from where I just viewed the 2-side-by-side pages, the initial view there, for 'page', is just 1 page ... not the 2 page view I just came from ... and it will print out this view in a full sheet version.
4. But, not wanting to print out 1130 pages, want to print multi-page as allowed under Acrobat options.
5. So choose multi-page and 2 pages and "Print to printable area"..
6. When this option appears in the print viewing window, the 'images' (presuming that to be the correct reference) are small, over the normal (roughly) 5 x 7 inch (each) for a 2-page print option.
7. With the 2-page print option, the images are only 3.5 x 5.25 inches ... rather than something like 5 x 7 inch ... which is difficult to read without a magnifier. [Note: This 3.5 x 5.25 is as indicated in Properties that the original 'Digitizing' did.
8. So, in essence, how can one change the default individual image size from 3.5 x 5.25 inch size, to something closer to 5 x 7 inch size ... so that each image fills in more of it's half of the 8.5 x 11 inch page being printed ... rather than the small size reflected in the attached jpg ?
I've attached a jpg of the print screen, and one of the 2 page side-by-side 'default' view in Acrobat.
Thanks
