Some Guidance on Script I'd like...

I have an idea for a script for Illustrator, but I would like to know how possible this is. I have a manual way to do it, but would like the cold specificity of the computer to do it for me in a single command.
I want to select a piece of artwork, have the script count the number of unique colors, create a nice grid of boxes totaling the number of colors in the art and assign each color to it's own unique box that is viewable within the document, not only in the swatches window. I'd like the boxes to be placed in the same location on every document so that when looking at a folder of files I could quickly see what palette they use.
What commands should I look into? I'm very green to this scripting thing, my background being on the art side, so any help would be appreciated.

    Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

    ScottWarnerBC
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
    What do you mean by splice 2 videos together?
    a. put them side by side on the Timeline and export them to one file saved to the computer hard drive or burned to disc
    or
    b. something like the following even before import into any Premiere Elements project
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
    If it is "a", then we need to know the properties of those 2 files so that the project settings can be set accordingly.
    What is your intended export? Based on the properties of the source media, we can then decide on export settings
    to produce a file with properties as close as possible to the source (if that is what you want).
    We will be watching for further information.
    Thanks.

  • Can't get my design to work, could someone lend some guidance?

    Hi,
    I'm a complete newb to Labview v8.6.1.  I come from the .Net world and I'm having difficulty making the transition, some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    I've attached my .vi that I came up with but I've hit a wall and I can't get this design to work correctly:
    I have two buttons on my .vi, a Sample button and a Calibrate button.  When I hit the sample button, I need to write out the values from my linear sensors to a file, this actually works fine.  When I hit the calibrate button, I need to get the values from the sensors, store them in an array for later use.  This works fine as well.
    The problem I'm having is I need to use the stored values in the array in my Sample button logic which doesn't work because I don't have cases for my "False" condition.
    Am I even close to the right solution here?
    Thanks for any guidance.
    Solved!

    Do you have access to the Event Structure?  It will work a lot better for GUI like this instead of polling the buttons (and using a lot of CPU).
    You should look into shift registers to store your calibration array.  I think the resources nyc gave should mention these somewhere in there.

  • Is there some kind of script similar to TWM's iconify for any WM or DE

    I know that's a rather specific question, but I really want to find something similar.
    Today I was playing around with TWM and modifying it to work as I wanted it, but on the end I decided, that I still prefer KDE over it.
    But one option that really stuck with me was iconify.
    I guess in more modern WM's it was replaced by minimize, but I kind of like the idea of having "icons" of minimized windows floating around my desktop.
    So anyway, is anyone aware of some kind of script that would have a similar option?
    And if there isn't any how hard would it to make it "myself" (NB.: I'm not really a programmer, so if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, we could work together or something).
    Thanks in advance.

    Many panels can do this.  Specifically, I think tint2 would be the easiest to configure for something like the Win3.1 style of iconifying.  Just set the tint2rc to only show iconified items, have all transparent backgrounds, and to show only icons and no text.
    EDIT: I guess this depends on whether you'd want to be able to drag the icons around.  Tint2 would not allow this.  They'd just show when the window was iconified, and could be clicked on to show the window again.  As another option, Rox desktop manager does something like this if I'm remembering right (it's been a while).

  • Looking for some guidance on an Internet and Wan failover design

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a project that has been somewhat dropped my lap.  The person who was going to do the project has abruptly bowed out.  I'm stuck in a position where I can either find another contractor, or just do the work myself.  For sake of saving my company, and putting another notch in my belt, I think I'm just going to do it myself.  For background info, I am a CCIE Collaboration.  I have held a CCNA in route switch for several years, and have used it extensively.  I have done some pretty large networking projects.  But I've never done this particular aspect of route switch.  I'm hoping someone here can point me to a good location for reference materials or videos.
    Here is what I'm looking to do.  We have 30 branch offices, with 2 major data centers.  Both data centers have a 100mg internet, and a 50mg mpls connection.  Today our MPLS comes directly in to a Cisco 3945 router and then uplinks in to our datcenter on a 3750 stacked switch.  Our internet connection comes in to a HA pair of ASA 5510's and then also uplinks to our switches.  All of our branches come back to the datacenters over the MPLS for their internet services.  Today, all of our offices go to our west coast datacenter.  The only thing using our east coast datacenters internet is that office itself.  I want to achieve two goals:
    1) Make all internet connectivity load balance. If one site loses internet, all traffic routes to the other site.
    2) If the MPLS is lost, I want the datacenters to reroute traffic through a VPN tunnel between each other
    The way I understood it from the person who left the project is that I need to bring the internet connection and the MPLS in to a single router, or pair of clustered routers.  That router can then make the patch selection and handle the BGP with our carrier.
    Thank you all in advance.

    I acually have similar setup at home using a 2611 router and forwarding port ranges to multiple ips on the internal network and it works great! My issue is that I have one dynamic ip assigned by my ISP and eventually I will have to manually change the ip for each nat statement. I wanted to know if there is a way to point to the outside interface instead of using on ip address. I found out that you can use a static nat statment
    "ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 22 interface fa0/0 22" instead of
    "ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 22 72.xxx.xxx.85 22 extendable"
    but I cannot find how to point my route-map to the interface to fully resolve this dynamic ip change in the future. My config is listed below which works great if you have static ips assigned by your ISP!!! Though I would love some guidance on the dynamic issue if possible. Thanks
    ~Roman
    P.S. ip nat statements work like numbered access lists and have to be in order or it will not work. I found out the hard way!.
    interface fa0/0
    ip nat outside
    interface fa0/1
    ip nat inside
    interface s1/0
    ip nat inside
    ip nat inside source list 1 interface fa0/0 overload
    ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 22 72.xxx.xxx.85 22 extendable
    ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.3 72.xxx.xxx.85 route-map DESKTOP extendable

  • I have some old slide photo and would like to put them on a disc. How do I do it?

    I have some old slide photos and would like to convert them to a slideshow how do I do it?

    Well...you have some choices. You can take the slides to a photo/camera shop and they can transfer them to a DVD. Or...you can purchase a slide veiwer like I did and while viewing slide, take its picture with a steady mounted digital camera. Then you can load them into you computer and make the slide show and then burn them to a DVD.
    Kinda complicated but it worked for me. My slide viewer was only $29 and blew the slide up to 8"x8".
    There may be a few folks on this forum who will suggest less complicated methods. I hope so.

  • Smartview VBA function for launch calc-scripts as strings. like EsbCalc ???

    We have used an Excel VBA which launch an calculation script from a STRING using the VBA Add-In function "EsbCalc".
    We would like to migrate to Smartview VBA functions.....
    The calc-script string has "parameters" which are modified at run-time...
    I have found the function HypExecuteCalcScript - but seems that use as parameters ONLY the calc-script name...
    Is it any VBA function in SmartView which launch a calc-script string (not a calc-script name) ?
    We are using EPM 11.2
    Thanks...

    A tip I just learned at Kaleidoscope 2010* is that one can create a calc script consisting entirely of a substitution variable. In other words, a calc script can look like this:
    &Calc
    Smart View VBA does have a function for changing or creating substitution variables (HypSetSubstitutionVariable). You could create a calc script and subvar in your database as above. Then, at run time, set that subvar to your calc string with HypSetSubstitutionVariable and execute the calc script with HypExecuteCalcScript.
    Quick test (11.1.1.3) shows that this really works.
    I can't remember privileges required to create or set subvars vs execute calc strings off the top of my head - might be an issue (I ran as an admin). Also this approach doesn't support concurrent users, unless they each have a calc script and subvar to themselves. Still, depending on your exact situation, this might be a feasible workaround.
