Smooth animation involving multiple gradient objects

Hi,
I have an animation that contains 3 rectangles with gradient
fill on 3 separate layers, overlapping each other(basically making
a glassy capsule sorta thing). In the beginning of the movie, the
rectangles fade in, in more or less the same timeframe. The
animation speed becomes choppy during this part of the movie,
irrespective of the framerate I specify. (It's currently at 50)
I also have some cacheBitmap() functions(for dynamic masking
later on in the movie) taking place in the first keyframe. Tried
removing them to test the speed, but no visible difference can be
seen.
Would be great if someone could tell me how I could fix this
problem.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys. I looked into the runtime bitmap caching
issue, but it didn't seem to solve the problem. Although, there
definitely was a noticeable performance increase when I did so. I
enabled it for the background on which the rectangles were drawn. I
haven't done the SVG thing though, as the gradients themselves were
vector data, drawn in Flash. I could try grouping them and making
them a single SVG file though -muses thoughtfully-

  • Graphics2D and AffineTransform needs object-reuse for smooth animation!

    Hi,
    I'm currently working on a graphical framework for animation using Java2D but has come to a dead end. The goal of the framework is to deliver smooth animation on various platforms, but this seems impossible due to the following fact:
    I have a tree of graphical objects i render on a Graphics2D-object. Some of the objects to be rendered are transforms on the Graphics2D instead of visible objects - this way I can have transform-objects in my tree which will affect all child-objects. This is all very nice, but when doing transformations on the Graphics2D A LOT of objects are being created by the implementation of Graphics2D (SunGraphics2D). I've designed my framework to utilize object-reuse and cacheing-mechanisms to ensure no garbage collection is performed when actual animation is in progress - if gc's are performed, this results in visible pauses in the animation. Now, I would like to ask if someone knows how to get around this problem, or suggest I simply abandon Java2D?
    The details of my problem is the following:
    When doing transforms on the Graphics2D-object which is passed to every object in the tree (and hence, a lot of transformations are being done), a lot of FontInfo-objects are being created - even though I don't use any of them - it's all in the subsystem. The source in the SunGraphics2D is as follows:
    // this is called by my framework to rotate all childs in the tree
    public void rotate(double d) {
      transform.rotate(d);
      invalidateTransform(); // the evil starts here
    // this is called a lot of places in SunGraphics2D
    protected void invalidateTransform() {
      // a lot is thigs are going on in this method - cutted out...
      // before this method returns, the following takes place
      fontInfo = checkFontInfo(null, font); // now we are getting there
    // this is the method of pure evil object allocations
    public FontInfo checkFontInfo(FontInfo fontinfo, Font font1) {
      // every time this method is called, a FontInfo-object is allocated
      FontInfo fontinfo1 = new FontInfo();
      // and a lot of other objects are being created as well...
    }I have come to think, that Java2D is pretty old and should be pretty mature at this point, but now I doubt it since object-reuse is a pretty obvious way of doing optimizations.
    Has any of you experienced the same problem or maybe found a solution to doing transformations on a Graphics2D-object without a ton of objects being created?
    If you would like to have a look at the problem you can do the following:
    Make yourself a little program which is doing some transforms on a Graphics2D-object in a loop (to emulate the 25fps animation and the transform-objects in the tree). Now use your favorite memory profiler (I use JProbe Memory Profiler, free evaluation) and see for yourself - the objects which are garbage collected includes a ton of FontInfo-objects and many AffineTransform-objects.
    If I do not find any solution to this problem, I'm forced to face the fact, that Java2D is not suitable for animation-purposes - gc's during animation is no solution!
    Thank you for your time - hope to hear from you soon.
    Regards,
    // x-otic.

    I think the main point is java transform objects are to slow to use in animations. They definitly have there uses, but for fast animations you need something more optimized.
    If you assume a general graphic objects has getHeight, width, x, y, render(). You could do translations using these general properties at an abstract level, letting each graphic object implements its own way to render itself and use the properties.
    I tryed to make sense!

  • Animated gif and gradient color problem

    Hi there,
    I have been trying to create animated gif with gradient background. My animation works alright but the problem is that when I preview either in browser or in the preview mode, the gradient doesnt look smooth. I want to know if there is a way to work around this? I have seen some on other websites and it looks perfect. I'm wondering how they do it.
    I'll appreciate anybody's help.

    I have to thank you all for your assistance so far. I must say I only know how to put some few things together and I do not understand some of the technical words you used such as dither, geometric dithering, blending mode... But in all I understand that if I blend colors that are close I'll get something close to smooth.
    Here's Wikipedia's page on dither: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither Scroll down till you see the images of the cats on the right-hand side. It's a little over half-way. In the original, the cat's pretty much a gradient. If that image is saved as a .gif, see how you get wide areas of color? It almost looks like a paint-by-number picture. This similar to what happens to your radial gradient when you save as .gif. I used the word "geometric," because the radial gradient will produce arcs of grey colors. The third image of the cat has dithering. This means that, instead of setting the colors in the original image to the closest one in the restricted palette, the software tries to figure out how to speckle the image to produce an average that would look better at a distance. Turning on dithering when you go to output your gradient will help make your image smoother, just as the third cat image is smoother than the second. Here's where you turn on dithering if you go through File > Image Preview:
    Here I have my unflattened .png file
    No, it's flattened. It's a single bitmap.
    Here's a noisy image I created. It has a radial gradient at the bottom then a texture layer that has it's visibility off, because I copied it to make a greyscale version to use. I've set that to have 25% opacity and a blending mode of Multiply. Both the opacity and blending mode controls are at the top of the layers panel. This is a FW .png (Edit, no, it isn't! The forum  has stopped supporting that! ):
    If I export the gradient alone, without the texture layer, I can get this (settings are "64-color" greyscale palette and no dithering):
    or this (turning on dithering):
    While the dithered image is better, it still shows the arcs. If I set the texture layer back visible, and export with dithering on, I get this:
    The noise in the texture breaks up the geometric arcs, which makes the image look smoother. Any small texture will do that. Choosing the 64-color greyscale palette gives me either 22 or 26 colors.The 32-color palette gave me 12. You should experiment with the .gif palette settings to see what you like best. Remember that the more colors you assign to your background the fewer colors you have available for your foreground objects.
    As a final point, the red text looks blurry. When I zoom in on it (400%), some of the lines are partially "broken," specifically the verticals on the L, T, and N. You might want to try a different font or adjusting the size so that the aliasing (mapping) to the pixels is cleaner. Italic text in small sizes is difficult to use.

  • RE: multiple named objects with the same name andinterface

    David,
    First I will start by saying that this can be done by using named anchored
    objects and registering them yourself in the name service. There is
    documentation on how to do this. And by default you will get most of the
    behavior you desire. When you do a lookup in the name service (BindObject
    method) it will first look in the local partition and see if there is a
    local copy and give you that copy. By anchoring the object and manually
    registering it in the name service you are programmatically creating your
    own SO without defining it as such in the development environment. BTW in
    response to your item number 1. This should be the case there as well. If
    your "mobile" object is in the same partition where the service object he is
    calling resides, you should get a handle to the local instance of the
    service object.
    Here is the catch, if you make a bind object call and there is no local copy
    you will get a handle to a remote copy but you can not be sure which one!
    It end ups as more or less a random selection. Off the top of my head and
    without going to the doc, I am pretty sure that when you register an
    anchored object you can not limit it's visibility to "User".

    All,

    objects with the same name in more than one partition. There are two
    situations in which this seems desirable:
    1) Objects that are not distributed, but are mobile (passed by value to

    environment visibility, but this forces the overhead of a remote method
    call when it might not otherwise be necessary. If it were possible to
    place a copy of the same Service Object (with user visibility) in each
    partition, the overhead of a remote method call could be avoided. This
    would only be useful for a service object whose state could be safely
    replicated.
    2) My second scenario also involves mobile objects referencing a Service
    Object, but this time I would like the behavior of the called Service
    Object to differ with the partition from which it is called.
    This could be accomplished by placing Service Objects with the same name
    and the same interface in each partition, but varying the implementation
    with the partition.
    Does anyone have any thoughts about why this would be a good thing or a

  • Add multiple gradients.

    I've found this tutorial on adding multiple gradients to form a glassy text http://wegraphics.net/blog/tutorials/illustrator/how-to-create-a-glassy-text-effect-in-ill ustrator/ and I never knew you could create multiple gradients on one object.
    I can only manage to apply one gradient. On the tutorial it sounds easy to just draw a gradient, then draw another. However it is not that simple; I draw a gradient, then I attempt to draw the second, and it just moves the first gradient.
    How does one draw multiple gradients on the same object?

    Thanks Kurt, I am using CS5.5.
    I see what you're saying I think. Add a new fill, turn the opacity down.
    To others who this may help in future, I can't seem to rotate the angle of the gradient by using the gradient drawing tool. But as Kurt says go from the appearance panel and use the angle of the gradient there.

  • Smooth animation

    hi there,
    trying to achieve smooth animation, or graphics moving on screen without flickering blinking.
    I checked some code samples here on Sun website and tried to use that technique to paint into off-screen image first and then just draw image on screen. I finished with something like this:
    BufferedImage Sce;
    public Graphics2D createGraphics2D(int w, int h) {
            Graphics2D g2 = null;
            if ( Sce == null || Sce.getWidth() != w || Sce.getHeight() != h ) {
                Sce = (BufferedImage) createImage(w,h);
            g2 = Sce.createGraphics();
            g2.setBackground(getBackground());
            g2.clearRect(0,0,w,h);
          g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
            return g2;
        public void somethingToDraw(Graphics2D a) {
                  //bit of my code to draw shapes
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
            Dimension d = getSize();
            Graphics2D a = createGraphics2D(d.width, d.height);
            somethingToDraw(a);
            a.dispose();
            if ( Sce != null ) {
                g.drawImage(Sce, 0, 0, this);
    }I think i copied almost everything as it was in the original sample, but it is flickering even more than in direct drawing. maybe i do mistake somewhere.
    actually, scene is redrawn by method repaint(); which is called either in thread or on defined event.
    should I refresh screen by repaint() or something else?

    re-parent my drawing object to JPanel
    Since Swing is double-buffered you can usually eliminate the offscreen (Sce) buffer.
    I have not found any difference in flicker between Applet and application. AWT in either
    form can have problems with flicker; (well-written) Swing does not. The main difference
    between applets and applications is how you deal with applet/app context for
    initialization/startup for things like loading images and calling start methods. It always
    seems to take some tinkering to get things to work the way you want.
    Here are a couple of suggestions for reducing flicker in AWT.

  • New technique to place multiple anchored objects in InDesign story

    Hello,
    For a while I have been trying to figure out how to insert multiple anchored objects into an Indesign story. As far as I can tell, you cannot copy multiple objects that have already been placed in a document (such as a multi-page pdf) into an InDesign story, but must copy and paste them one-by-one into the story. This is a problem for a project I am working on where I want to have a large number of 340x52 pt pdfs to flow throughout a document in a master text frame interspersed with text.
    I have now found a solution for this issue that I thought I would share in case it would be helpful for anyone. It utilizes Automator actions for Mac OS X and Microsoft Word 2011 [2008 may work also, but I don't have a copy of that to test]; I am not good with scripting but perhaps similar solutions could be found for other systems and programs.
    1. If you want to place a multipage pdf within a text frame, first it into individual files for each page (with Acrobat Pro or pdftk or something similiar).
    2. Create an Automator service or program with the action "Create New Word Document". You can also use another automator action to save the document, or save it manually (to change the filename). In the finder, select the items you want, then run the service or drag them into the Automator program you have created.
    3. Place the word document into your InDesign story. Your items will now be anchored objects ordered in your text frame as they were in the finder.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if anyone has suggestions for doing this process is a more efficient way. I am not sure, but it may be the case that this approach would only work on Macs, as I gather from this thread.

    I might note that I am using InDesign CS 5, and importing from a document stored in docx format.

  • How to use 1 edge animation in multiple pages without duplicate files?

    Hi,
    I want to display an animation on multiple pages that are all located in there own respective folders. I want to be able to move then animation files into it's own dedicated folder e.g. /includes/edge folder where I can still use this animation in other pages not locate in this folder.
    How can this be done?
    Thanks

    For you use case,
    You can have your animate files in a folder and load them in different pages using a iframe

  • Not possible to store multiple fileReference object in same array?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to store multiple fileReference  object in one array. But everytime I push() in a new object the old  objects that's already in the array gets set to the latest object.
    I'm  letting the user select an image. Then I push the selected  fileReference object into an array like my_array.push(  FileReference(event.target) );
    If I then run a loop on  "my_array" to check it's content I'm getting the latest pushed  fileReference object for every index in the array.
    With one object pushed in:
    1. Image1.jpg
    With two objects pushed in:
    1. Image2.jpg
    2. Image2.jpg
    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

  • Querying for a script insert multiple selected objects...

    Is there a script or plugin which insert multiple selected objects in one new text frame with one click?
    And is there a script or plugin which extract the content of anchored text frame out it's frame and replace it with it's frame. and extract selected text and insert it inside a new anchored text frame in it's place? (like convert text to table - convert table to text, but instead table we use text frame)

    Hi,
    Using OMB scripting to set attribute properties in a data mapping sort of defeats the purpose of utilizing a graphical user interface to define and set properties for a data mapping? Surely the GUI data mapping tool was created to get away from writing scripts and scripting would also require that you know the name of the data mapping, table operator and the set of attribute names for which you have to write one line of script to set each property value, i.e. 90 lines to set 90 attribute values.
    Cheers,

  • Best practice for linking fields from multiple entity objects

    I am currently transitioning from PHP to ADF. I'm looking for the best practice for linking data from multiple entity objects.
    Example:
    EO 'REQUESTS' has fields: req_id, name, dt, his_stat_id, her_stat_id
    EO 'STATUSES' has fields: stat_id, short_txt_descr
    'REQUESTS' is linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.his_status_id
    'REQUESTS' is also linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.her_status_id
    REQUESTS.his_status_id is independent of REQUESTS.her_status_id
    When I create a VO for REQUESTS, I want to display: REQUESTS.name, REQUESTS.dt, STATUSES.short_txt_descr (for his_stat_id), STATUS.short_txt_descr (for her_stat_id)
    What is the best practice for accomplishing this? It appears I could do it a few different ways:
    1. Create the REQUESTS VO with a LOV for his_stat_id and her_stat_id
    2. Create the REQUESTS VO with the join to STATUSES performed within the query for the VO. This would require joining on the STATUSES EO twice (his_stat_id, her_stat_id)
    3. I just started reading about View Links - would that somehow do what I'm looking for?
    I also need to be able to update his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr from a dropdown.
    Any suggestions on how to approach such a stupidly simple task?
    Using jDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 if that makes a difference in the solution.
    Thanks ahead of time,
    CJ

    CJ,
    I vote for solution 1 as it's just your use case. As you said you what to update the his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr by a drop down. This is exactly the LOV solution.
    ViewLinks are used fro master detail navigation (which you don't do here) and Joining the data make it difficult to update (and you still need a LOV for the drop down box.

  • How to pick consignment stock @ FIFO method when involved multiple vendors

    Dear Guru s ,
    I need some information/ logic  on how to pick consignment stock @ FIFO method when involved multiple vendors (who supplies consignement goods) .
    1)We have tried to determine the vendor @ FIFO method from the material document date & time   with 101 K  mvmt type
    2) when we check MSEG table we are unable to get the current stock updates .For example Vendor A stock is showing 60 KG in MMBE , but MSEG is showing only 45 KG for the same vendor & storage location  .
    Can anyone provide me the logic / info on the same.
    Thanks
    Anil

    Hi Anil
    MMBE will show you total stock, your logic is correct , you can go for MSEG , but you need to add opening stock for that material for the period.
    Suppose you are looking for report between 2nd august to 10 august , then you need to take opening stock on 2nd august and then add all goods receipt( 101 k) between 2nd to 10th and you will get correct stock on 10th ( same as MMBE)
    Note : I am assuming that current date is 10th august. If you want to see stocks on particular date then go for MB5B.
    Now as per your requirement , you can identify goods movement based on FIFO , follow same logic , pick time and date from MSEG for 101 k movement type.
    Regards
    Ravi.

  • Multiple resource objects provision issue in OIM10g

    Hi Team,
    We're facing an issue regarding multiple access policy trigger for a specific resource object in OIM.
    The scenario is whenever we try to process the enablement or creation of users through flat file recon, users are created / enabled with multiple resource objects in their resource profiles.
    When we checked in User Resource Access History report, we observe that the access policy has been triggering multiple times for these users resulting in users with multiple resource objects. Amongst these one shows provisioned/Enabled and the other shows provisioning/in some cases Provisioned/Enabled.
    Please advise as this has become an ongoing issue and also has led into data mess-up.
    Appreciate your help on this one..
    Regards,
    Sagar

    The terminology sounds a little confusing to me:
    If you mean you wanna create multiple IT Resources for a single IT Resource Instance so that the user can select the appropriate IT Resource during request creation -> All good upto here. But then since the Object/Request Form attached to a resource would be the same, so any user would always see the same form fields for creationg request.
    Example: Users creating request for Oracle Database Accounts but different server locations
    If it means you just need to create multiple Resource Objects then its a straighaway standard requirement and could be handled with normal Connector Development methodology.
    Example: Users creating requests for different resources like Oracle Database Accounts & Active Directory Accounts

  • How do i open my multiple smart objects in my psd in one illustrator vector file?

    HELLO
    I have created a psd.
    It contains multiple smart objects which when double clicked link you to illustrator.
    I would like to open all the vector images from this file in one illustrator file.
    Is this possible?

    I guess it might be (almost) possible with Scripting in principle but probably not practically.
    To elaborate:
    One could open all the Smart Objects with a Script and with BridgeTalk it should be possible to have Illustrator perform tasks on those.
    But one can not, as far as I know, directly access scale, rotation, skew of a placed Smart Object with a Script, so that information would have to be determined with work-arounds or (partially) neglected.
    If you need vector output why did you make the arrangement in Photoshop?

  • Controlling Post Order of Multiple View Objects

    Hi ,
    Here is the scenario:
    I have a use case of "Creating an Abstract"
    Steps:
    step1 ) (Page 1) Author presents the details of the abstract (Details goes to 2 tables ABSTRACT & ABSTRACT_CONTENT tables). For the 2 tables i have 2 entities. I use a view here called CreateAbstractView from both the tables( here i control the post order of the entities ....code from jdeveloper 11g guide)
    Step 2)(Page 2) Author presents details of Additional Authors. I use the view (*AdditionalAuthorDetailsView*) (Details goes to 2 tables AUTHOR & ABSTRACT). Here in the abstract table i have a parent key(parent abstract id) So all the additional authors has a record in Abstract table with parent_abstract_id from step1. ABSTRACT table also has a foreign key (author_id) .Here also i control the post order of the 2 entity object using the code from jdeveloper 11g guide.
    I also have a link from CreateAbstractView to AdditionalAuthorDetailsView (abstract_id in Abstract table from CreateAbstractView to parent_abstract_id in Abstract table from AdditionalAuthorDetailsView )
    If i have a commit on both the pages , i don't see a problem.
    But i want to have a commit process at the end so that the user can review the information. So when i try to add a commit process at the end , i get a exception (Parent Key not found exception) which i came to understand that commit from AdditionalAuthorDetailsView is happening first which is trying to insert a record into ABSTRACT table and cannot find the parent_abstract_id.
    How do i control the post order for multiple view objects in such scenarios?

    Hi!
    Please take a look at the dev guide. It comes down to controlling the posting order on entity level.
