Saving in gif, tif, bitmap or graphical format

how do i save canvas drawing in a graphical format like gif, tif, bitmap, etc. I have been trying to research it and have not found any definites on how to do this... can it be done directly through java or is a special tool needed? I do not want to save as jpeg because information is lost through jpeg for this particular kind of program. Please help.

no, i am not looking to draw a gif image or import from a url. I have drawn an image(edges, circles, and rectangles) using graphics on a canvas. Now, what I want to do is save it ina gif/tif/ or other graphical format other than jpeg and be able to open it in programs like photoshop, etc. thanks
Image me;
me = getImage(getCodeBase(), "myPicture.gif");
g. drawImage(me, 0, 0, this);
Are you looking for this ?
Or load the image from an URL.

How to register "GIF" graphic format

Hi guys;
In my java application , i need to check if the "GIF" graphic format
is registred on my machine registery. If it is not the program should
register this format.I don't have any knowledge how to deal with
System registry using java.can any one tell me how to implement
this functionality ?
I would appreciate a lot any sample source code.
Thanks for helping!
-othman.

An "export filter" strongly suggests an add-on,just
like wordperfect addons for MS Word. And if thatis
the case then you are not going to be changing the
registry to add it because that is not all that is
needed. You would actually need to installsomething.
you are right ! i think this is the issue...when doin
a custom powerpoint installation you choose whih
filter format to support...I'm not sure if GIF will
always be there !
what to do if i have this problem ?
thanksSeveral choices...
1. You check the registry. If if the expected value isn't there you tell the user to install it. Don't attempt to do what you want until it is there. This is somewhat problematic because the registry might change with different versions of power point.
2. Use autoit (google it) to automate the install process. Rather problematic for a number of reasons including that the user might not what to do that, or the user might not have the disks right then or the install changed and your autoit script does't work. And of course autoit has to be installed.
3. Check the registry and don't even start if the registry entry isn't there. In the documentation for you app make it clear that this is what will happen.

Acrobat 9.4.2 does not save/export all graphic formats

Dear all,
Obviously i had my glass of wine to early! See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798630 for the whole story of my re-re-re-istallation of Acrobat.
The installation of 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD was OK
After update to 9.2 my tests displayed correct results for all desired tasks
After the update to 9.4.2 i obviously did not test thoroughly enough (hence the glass of whine).
Later it turned out that 9.4.2 does not save/export graphic formats:
pdf (all flavours), eps and ps are exported correctly
html (all flavours) export a html file and the image as jpg correctly
jpg, jp2 does not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
doc, rtf save issue error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file has been created"
png and tif do not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
xml table and xml export correctly
txt (both flavours) are exported correctly
Hence the only method i can get a picture is to export as HTML and through away the HTML... or: enlarge the picture as much as possible on the screen and take a screen shot.
What is missing in this installation?
During my re-re-re-installtions some Windows updates may have happened.
Any help available for this issue?
Klaus Daub e

The story goes on and hopefully Adobe has an answer/fix for this
There was an automatic update from 9.4.2 to 9.4.3, but the problem still existed.
So I decided to uninstall Acrobat and re-install it for the nth time: start with the installation of 9.0 from TCS2, reboot, update to 9.2, reboot, update to 9.4.3 and reboot again.
The result is very mixed (and this was alrady with the newly installed 9.0):
Save as RTF or DOC creates RTF and DOC files - although the contents is not that useful.
Save as PNG is OK
Save as JPG, JP2 or TIF works, but it turns out, that the files are all PNG (although with the various extensions)!
Creating a snapshot now works correctly. The clipboard receives a bitmap. However: although I have set the preferences for the snapshot to be of 96 dpi the bitmap gets the property 72 dpi!
Setting acrobat.exe to be Compatible to XP SP3 does not change a jota.
Keep in mind: on Windows XP things worked correctly for a long time. Switching to Window 7, x64 creates this strange problem.
I need to start with Acrobat from the TCS2 DVD, because otherwise I do not get the correct implementation for working with FrameMaker.
I'm very reluctant to buy Acrobat X, for me there are too many gimmics there (besides the costs).

Labwindows/cvi graphic format

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert an IntensityPlot to a graphical format known
by Word (e.g.pcx, tif, bmp, jpg,...)
thank you in advance.
Bjorn

Hi,
there are two pssibilities:
CVI includes functions to get panels, graphs as memory bitmaps and it is fairly
simple to make it into a bmp and write it to a file.
Another possibility we used is to print panels to a temporary file using for
example a postscript printer driver. Then you get a nice mixture of vector
graphics elements (for the labels, grids etc.) and bitimages.

Graphics format options in Save As HTML?

I'm using FrameMaker 8.0 independently (not as part of the TCS), on Windows XP.
I'm creating HTML files from the FrameMaker files by choosing the "Save As" option and then choosing HTML. This always saves the images in the file in the .gif format. I would like them to be saved in Windows .bmp format. Currently, my workaround is to replace the .gif files with the original .bmp files, and then tweak the HTML code to refer to the .bmp files. This works, but it's time-consuming.
I don't see any option in the FM preferences or anywhere else, to select an output format for images. Is there a way to do this?
(As an aside, can this be done easily in the Tech Comm Suite?)
Thanks,
Joyce Wermont

Joyce,
I have not worked with saving Frame files as HTML, so I do not know what resolution the images are saved in. However, the gif format has no restriction on resolution, though some applications may assume it to be 72 dpi (not sure about this).
Anyway, you can open your bmp files in Photoshop or some other image editor, and save them as gif with the same resolution as the bmp files. Because gif is limited to 256 colors, I suggest converting the bmp files to indexed color before saving as gif. You can replace the gif files created with Frame with the ones you create from Photoshop, using the same names, and the HTML will see them. If the HTML displays them largish, you can set the sizes in the HTML code.

Can You Convert Pages Templates to Graphic Format, i.e. jpg, tiff, bmp?

I created a flyer from the templates and would like to convert it to a jpg or other graphic format so I can add it to my photo library, add to a slideshow and publish on MobileMe. Is this possible?
MacBook Pro / Leopard / IWork 08

Hi Ronda,
Welcome to the discussions. You can do the conversion using a combination of Pages and a system application on your computer called Preview.app. Easy to do.
You're going to Print to PDF and then Save As from Preview to the graphic format of your choice.
Select File > Print in Pages.
In the lower left corner click on PDF and select Save As PDF in the menu that appears. Saving to the Desktop is convenient at this point.
Right click on the document and select Open With... Preview.
From Preview, select File > Save As and choose your graphic format from the Format menu at the bottom of the Expanded Save As menu.
This should do it for you. It's not as complicated as it sounds and you will begin to enjoy using the many features of Preview.
Regards,
Jerry

ImageObserver, Printing, and saving as GIF

My application has a page containing photos (images). Not all of these can be seen without paging down.
When rendering on the screen, I use graphics.drawImage( ... ), which returns immediately and uses the ImageObserver interface to update the screen as more of the image arrives.
When printing to paper, by some 'magic', the whole image is rendered, even if it was not previously shown on the screen. I suspect that drawImage( ) somehow waits until the whole image is available, before it returns. I may be completely wrong here.
My problem is that I also want to save the images as GIFs. I create an off screen bufferedImage, and render them to that. The trouble is, if they have not yet been shown on screen, graphics.drawImage( ) is returning immediately, and I end up saving a GIF with no picture in it. This all takes place on a background thread.
Does anyone know any 'magic' that I can use, to tell drawImage that it is ok to wait until the whole image arrives?

You need to implement your own ImageObserver that will wait till it infoflags will have ALLBITS set and then draw ImageContent to BufferedImage (and print it).
Use Toolkit.getImage() and Toolkit.preprateImage() to trigger image load.
Some subtle things:
1) Do not use Toolkit.createImage() because it will not use cahced copy of image and will trigger new download
2) prepareImage may return true if image is already prepared. Then observer will be never called.
Check for return code and call it explicitly.
Alternatively you may simply use ImageIO to load image for printing. This is very straightforward and ImageIO has generally better support for images. However, there is no way to reuse copy of image that was loaded for display, it will always load it again.

Why are videos saved as gif's slow when viewed in browsers?

i can never find an answer to this, an seeing as how CS4 just came out, but is still giving me this issue there must be something new that i dont know about.
i play back the video in CS4 and its blazingly fast, faster than the actual video, i save the video as a gif, an when i preview it using the microsoft image previewer it plays back at normal speed just like the original video, but everytime i preview in a browser(IE8, FF3, Opera) they all show it running very slow, even after the video is fully loaded.
the only solution i know is to reduce the amount of frames to load when i first open the video but that makes the video look very choppy and not smooth.
ive seen gifs around the net that are very large(over 300px hight/width) and run at real time speed, but i dont know of any other program that allows you to import video and turn it into animated gifs.
please help.

GIF is not a video format.
If something plays back faster than the original video (and then slower in a browser) then you have discovered just one of the faults of trying to produce video in a GIF file.
Use a proper video format.

Print preview in abap list format (OMLV) - Need preview in graphical format

Pl. advise on how to view the print preview in a graphical format and not in the ABAP list format and pl. let me know the setting to print the spool in the graphical format.
Thanks,

Hi,
this problem is not only related to warehouse. even the print preview spool for GR/GI slip in t-code SP01 shows as ABAP list and not as graphical screen.
my question is why does the system shows the print preview for spool as an ABAP list instead of graphical view.
pl. advise
Thanks,

Excel 2013 save as JPG/PNG graphic format?

Dear All,
For Excel 2013, is it possibe to save the sheet in JPG or PNG graphic file?

Hi,
Currently, Excel 2013 doesn't have the ability to save a sheet as an image.
The simplest way to accomplish this is to select and copy the worksheet cells containing the data, chart, etc. you want to save as an image (turn off grid lines if you don’t want them too), then paste it into your graphics editor, say Microsoft Paint.
Now you will be able to save it as any graphic formats as you want by using
Save as feature in Microsoft Paint.

After Effects saving as .GIF

Hey guys! I just downloaded After Effects after I saw some cool tutorials, and I made a cool project for my website. But, the thing is, I'm having some technical issues. I need that project to be saved as .GIF, and the animation must repeat only once, not infinitely as other .GIF do. I can transform any movie to a .GIF that repeats only once using Camtasia Studio, but here's the problem, what movie extension can keep the transparency I want on my .GIF borders? I don't want a .GIF with black corners. If I save it as a PNG Sequence, I can't set the time I want between frames in Camtasia Studio. I know it's hard to understand cuz I suck at explaining stuff. Can you help me please? I don't have any idea what to do. After Effects can't save it as .GIF.

Hi Guys,
Im having the same thing but the problem is, i dont have photoshop! the only photo editing program i have is Serif photoplus x4. could i do it with this?
thanks

When I saved an Illustrator CS6 file to EPS format, I got "could not complete the requested operation. unknown error."

When I saved an Illustrator CS6 file to EPS format, I got "could not complete the requested operation. unknown error."
Google it and find some temp fix. run the illustrator by using "Run as admin" mode and fix the problem, but when use run as, can't see all the original user's mapping drives.
So still need it fixed.

It is win 7 64 bit system and same error on Illustrator x86 and x64.
