Positioning Text at an Angle on a Image PS6?

I want to postion the text from a corner at an angle on top of an image but I am not sure how! I tried using the transform tool, but I can't select it when I have the text layer selected. I also tried merging the background layer and the text, but I can't select both layers!

I'm with John - it's been a long time since I last used PS 6, but doesn't it have the Text on a Path Tool? The T will have a slightly curved line at the bottom in the icon. If so, use the Pen Tool to draw your Path, and then click the Text on a Path Tool on, or very near that Path, and Type.
I'll be interested to know if that Tool was in PS 6.
Good luck,
Hunt

Simple layout issue: positioning text atop a JButton image

(I apologize for the cross-post; I assumed that this forum was for relatively advanced Swing topics, and therefore initially posted this question in the "New to Java Technology" forum.)
I've got a newbie Swing problem that I just can't seem to figure out. Basically, I'd like to place text for a JButton in a certain location within the image I'm using for the button. If I use the following code:
String buttonText = MyStringFactory.getString();
JButton myButton = new JButton(buttonText, new ImageIcon("myimage.png"));
myButton.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
myButton.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);The text will display within the button, but it will be exactly centered atop the image. What I'd like is to have the text displayed on top of the image, but to be left-aligned. So, instead of:
| Test |
----------------------I want:
| Test |
----------------------Where the image behind the word "Test" is the image specified when I created the myButton JButton object. The string can be of varying length and must support various fonts (i.e., simply using a monospaced font and padding on the right-side of the string with spaces isn't an option). In more explicit terms, what I want is a way to center the text vertically with respect to the background image, and place it (the text) X pixels from the left-hand side of the background image.
I've looked at using OverlayLayout to solve this problem, creating a JButton and a JLabel and placing them both within a JPanel. However, when I do this, the JLabel is always rendered behind the JButton, so I can't see it. Is there any way to specify the z-ordering of objects in a JPanel when using OverlayLayout?
Or is there a much simpler solution to this (seemingly) simple problem?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

hello guy,
well, you seem to want your text to be in a very specific position since you mention x pixels.
i don't think you can tell a JButton where exactly to draw the text and icon.
if you want to do that, you'll have to create you own button.
something like that:
class CustomButton extends JButton {
String text;
ImageIcon icon;
public CustomButton(String text, ImageIcon icon) {
// only use the default constructor of the JButton
// and save the text and icon separately
super();
this.text = text;
this.icon = icon;
// set some preferred size so that the layout
// manager has some idea of how big your button will be
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(
icon.getIconWidth(),
2*icon.getIconHeight()));
// override paintComponent()
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
// first call this method in the super class
// this will draw your button color, outline, borders..
super.paintComponent(g);
// now draw your icon whereever you want it on
// your button
g.drawImage(icon.getImage(),5,
getHeight()/2-icon.getIconHeight()/2,null,this);
// and draw your string.
// using FontMetrics to get the dimensions of your
// string will allow it to be independent of
// font type and size
g.drawString(text, icon.getIconWidth()+10,
getHeight()/2+g.getFontMetrics().getAscent()/2);
hope that helps a bit :)
cheers, alex.

Adding a text layer over a sliced PS image

Having trouble positioning a text layer over a PS sliced
image.
The sliced image is positioned relative to the center of the
page (so it appears in the same place regardless of monitor size or
resolution, and that's where I want it).
I can position the layer in Dreamweaver, but when previewed
in the browser, the test layer moves to the left -- apparently
being positioned relative to the left side of the screen.
Is there any way to position a text layer so that it is
position relative to the center of the page (and therefore reliably
will appear on top of an image also positioned relative to the
center of the page)?
Any suggestions?

This is a bad approach. Consider what will happen to your
careful alignment
if someone resizes their text in their browser. If you must
place text over
an image, the best way to do it is to make the image the
background of some
container, and then use CSS (margins or padding) to nudge the
text into the
desired location location. You will still have the same
problem, though.

That's how absolutely positioned elements work when they are
not within some
other positioned element. The zero coordinates default to the
<body> tag,
i.e., the upper, left-hand corner of the browser viewport.

Certainly, but you will have to understand CSS positioning to
accomplish it.

Text at an angle

Is there a better way (than the one I used) to create the effect shown on this attachment.
The only way I could get text in that angle is to treat each line as a separate item. I couldn't find a way to do a block of type and then turn it all at a suitable angle
PS I tried to use the "Insert image" feature instead of attachment, but it kept telling me that The content type of this image is not allowed
What exactly can you insert as an image?

ClickDrag with the text tool to create an AreaType object.
Select it as a whole object (black pointer).
Use the Rotate Tool (not the bounding box transform handles) to rotate the AreaType object.
use the white pointer reshape the containing path by adjusting its AnchorPoints. (Turn on SmartGuides to make rectangular alignment easy.)

Thanks for that!
Exactly what I was looking for. And that has now also provided an answer for the same problem in Quark

Having trouble positioning text

http://kurtesposito.com/contact.htm
Looking for some help on how to position this text on this page. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also looking for helping on that horizontal strip of white running along the top of my image.
Thanks

You have some errors.
Line 136, you are attempting to merge html and css...
<img src="images/hurtlogo_original.png" height="80" width="329" float=left />
float=left is not valid html or css. If you want the image floated left, you need to put it in a style attribute and format it as css...
<img src="images/hurtlogo_original.png" height="80" width="329" style="float;left;" />
You also have several line items (the <li> tags around line 139) that are not properly contained within a <ul> or <ol> tagset...
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li><li><a href="about.htm">About</a></li><li><a href="portfolio.htm">Portfolio</a></li><li><a href="http://kurtesposito.com/blog/">Blog</a></li><li><a href="contact.htm">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
As far as your original issue, not knowing how to position text, did you have some more information on what you wanted to do?
I'm also not seeing white space with your image (I assume you mean the KurtLogo?).

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my doc

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my dock has resided at the right margin so all my slider manipulation over countless editing sessions in Aperture has been ingrained to work at the left margin -- but, the vast majority of the time, the HUD overlaps the image I am editing in this 'unlocked' mode.
Every occasionally I enter Full Screen View and it positions on the left margin *without* superimposition...(!) My great joy is modulated into aggravation, however, should my tracking cursor drift all the way 'out of bounds' -- to call in the hidden pane of adjacent images sequenced in the library... This dramatically shrinks the Full Screen display and re-locks the HUD; if I toggle the switch to re-xpand the image it re-positions at the right margin!!!! I SOOoooooo wish I knew how to control the default 'locked' margin of the HUD in Full Screen View...

Drag it over to the Left. Then lock it there.

How to position text in an existing PDF document with X,Y coordinates

There used to be a CFX PDF tag that could do this. the company (www.easel2.com) does not appear to exist any more.
This is what i want to do. I have an existing PDF file that is uploaded by a user. I want to receive the file, then put a registration number (some text) in the lower left corner of the 2nd page (I don't know the exact x,y coordinate but I can figure that out later).
Does anyone know how I can do this?

Unfortunately, I can not create the PDF. It is uploaded by the user, and I have to open the PDF, insert the text and save it. BUT, I did find the solution in a slight roundabout way.
1) Create an image file containing the text I need
2) Use that image file as a watermark with 10 opacity and use the tag's x,y coordinate setting.
Below is the code I found to work:

<cfset myImage=ImageNew("",500,500)>

<cfset ImageSetBackgroundColor(myImage,"white")>

<cfset ImageClearRect(myImage,0,0,500,500)>

<cfset ImageSetAntialiasing(myImage)>

<cfset attr=StructNew()>
<cfset attr.size=50>
<cfset attr.style="bold">
<cfset attr.font="Verdana">
<cfset ImageSetDrawingColor(myImage,"blue")>
<cfset ImageDrawText(myImage,"PROOF",100,250,attr)>

<cfimage action="write" source="#myImage#" destination="text.tiff" overwrite ="yes">

How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

You can't convert an image into a text layer. What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text. Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer. Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

Get text frame's angle of rotation

Hello. Does anyone know if there's a way to get/return a text frame's angle of rotation? I've searched through the CS4 AppleScript documentation and the closest I found was a text frame's "matrix" property which seems to be used to rotate an object but not return an object's current angle of rotation. (There is a character rotation property but this seems to return the rotation of each character in the text frame, not the text frame as a whole.)
Ben

I don't think you need to go to Ruby or satimage for this. Neat though it is to figure out the math of the matrix and implement this yourselves, Illustrator's scripting dictionary has the commands to make Illustrator translate an angle to a matrix value and vice versa:
see
concatenate rotation matrix
and
get rotation matrix
in the language dictionary.
There are the equivalent commands for scale and translation matrices too.
In the Illustrator CS6 Applescript Dictionary, I'm looking at Page 99.

Position text filled at new PR document

Hello,
I have a strange problem in production.
When we start a new PR me51n, filed the first position (10), the position text is automatically filled whit a default text, that the user must delete every time. This problem is appearing only in production ( in test/ integration is not ). Also this is happening only for position 10, for all other no.
I have checked the user exits, and that filed is not touched by any of those implemented.
Have you encounter this situation before ?
Regards,
Adrian

When typing or pasting, that's the way it works unless you have Smart Text Reflow enabled (I can't stand it so I leave it off). The text that does not fit is called "overset" and is inidacted by a red plus sign in the Out Port of the text frame. If you click the plus sign with the selection tool it will pick up the overset and you can place it into an new frame (which will be threaded to the original). Holding the shift key when placing the text will flow all that there is, making new frames and pages as required to accomodate it.
This is basic function of the program. You should spend some time reading the help files on working with text, or pick up a good beginners's book, like Sandy Cohen's Visual Quickstart Guide to InDesign.

Positioning text in SAPscript

Hello, is there any possibilities to positioning text in a SAPscript. I would like to determine x and y coordinates where to start the writing out. It is working in the case of boxes, but what if I want to write normal text to a certain position. How could I do that?

Hi Jakob,
Yes, You can position text in a SAP Script using <b>POSITION</b> command by specifying its attributes like X Origin, Y Origin and Window.
You can ONLY position texts with in Windows only.
Syntax:
<b>/: POSITION [X Origin] [Y Origin] [Window] [Page]</b>
X & Y - Sets the origin for x 7 y parameters for the box command.
Window - Sets the default values for the left and upper edges.
Pages - Sets the values for the left and upper edges of the current page.
Basically used to set default setting for the box command.
/: Position x Origin 1.5 cm y origin 1 cm
Thanks,
Vinay

Hi
Check if the BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST is working in your system, surely method PROCESS_ITEM. If it's true check if you have this interface in the coding:
Interface: IF_PURCHASE_REQUISITION_ITEM
Possible methods:
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~GET_TEXTOBJECT
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~GET_TYPES
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~GET_TEXT
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~SET_TEXT
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~ADOPT_TEXT
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~DELETE_TEXT
IF_LONGTEXTS_MM~EDIT_TEXT
I hope this helps you

Position text very close to a surrounding border

I am looking for a way to position text very close to the surrounding border of a table in an RTF template.
A way of achieving this using standard Word functionality is to place the table with its borders in a header with a fixed placement on the page, and then place the text in another table with the same, fixed placement, in the normal part of the document. When such two parts of a document are processed by Word, the text can e.g. be placed 1 pixel from the bottom border which is normally not possible as Word will always make room for the descender of the font.
However, when I try using the same trick in BI Publisher, it does not work, as BI Publisher always places the text of the document below the text of the header. BI Publisher does not allow the text to overlap.
Is there a way of achieving this overlap between a page header and the normal text in BI Publisher?
Or does anybody know of a different solution to the problem of placing text very close to the bottom border of a table cell?
Best regards,
Jan

Pass me the template and xml, alonw with some xplanation and possibly with expected output.
