Tablet draws outside of cursor circle...

You know the little circle that acts as the 'paintbrush tip'? For some reason, every time I draw, I'm not getting accuracy from within that circle, but it's like the paintbrush tip is on the top-left OUTSIDE side of the circle.
How do I fix thiiiis?
Using Photoshop CS6 Extended. Genius tablet.
Also, does anyone know how to edit it so that you don't have to select a specific brush for sensitivity? ALso, is there any way to make the brush sharper and cleaner? It just looks blurry.

Oh. Ugh. Well, Photoshop CS6 is just a bit too involved for me. I figured out that it was because of the brush I was on (So, I guess essentially a brush preset issue). I guess it was a caligraphic brush? So it was writing as if the pen was held at an angle.
I just selected a different brush to test that (I thought the caligraphic brush tip was the only one that had pressure sensitivity on it, but just found that it isn't), and it works fine.
Thanks for your time.

  • Drawing a special cursor: completely repaint everytime or only a region?

    Hello, I'm currently building an application which displays a BufferedImage. When I move the cursor in the the component that displays the BufferedImage my app draws a special cursor. It's a square which is moved only if my current position is dividable by 16 (if there was a grid, it would change it's position when the mouse moves to another square in the grid, it is around the square that the mouse occupies). At first, I was only using on thread so the application was a little laggy and my cursor thing didn't work too well. So I decided to use another thread to take care of my cursor. The drawing is in another class (external to the drawing class), therefore, I use getGraphics (since my drawing class subclasses JComponent). I signal a draw by changing a variable. I have to erase my old cursor to draw the new one. The problem is that my component "'flashes" gray instead of staying the way it should be (which is black, for now). Here are my questions: Why does it flash gray ? and what should I do to change that?
    Here's my code:

                   gfx.fillRect(0, 0, MapMaker.getCurrentMap().getWidth()*16, MapMaker.getCurrentMap().getHeight()*16);
                   //gfx.drawImage(bi, null, 0,0);     
              } else {//Will be implemented later, render will be modified
                   System.out.println("Will be implemented later");
    }P.S.: This is only part of my code. There are other classes that I do not post because I believe it is not necessary. I will post the full code if needed.

    You need to override the paint(Graphics g) method. E.g.:
    public class MyPanel extends JPanel {
         public void paint(Graphics g) {
                   super.paint(g);
                    // ... do draw code here
    }The reason your app is flashing is because your code only executes
    when the thread is requests it to. Inbetween the time your code is
    executing, other threads are calling the paint(Graphics g) method.
    Gray is the default color used in painting.
    You can use a thread to call the repaint() method, but no drawing
    should be done in the thread.

  • Just got my new iPad Air and noticed that the screen calibration is off. For example if I select the circle to place something there I have to select outside of the circle to make it happen. I did not have this issue on my previous iPad.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Drawing outside the java applet ?

    Hi all !
    How do you draw "outside" the space taken by the applet on the web page ?
    For example, say I've got a menu bar where the applet size is 100 width by 20 height on the page, and when the user clicks on one of the buttons that I've drawn within the menu, I want to be able to draw menu buttons "below" the applet, over the web page (pop up menu style)
    Cheers for a pointer in the right direction :)

    Ooookay ..... then how come I've got an demo of
    someone's applet here that does exactly this, i.e.
    draws outside of it's original size ?
    Show us the demo.
    How might they do it ? (dont really want to decompile
    someone else's class file, coz that's rude :-)Maybe someone will do it for you; the impossible has always attracted the human mind.

  • Drawing outside the GUI

    Is there any way that I can draw outside the GUI? Something like a marker that draws anywhere on the screen, or a rectangle that you can drag around to take have a reference when taking a portion of a screen shot.

    As an approximation, would you consider having Java take a screen shot, then allowing you to draw on that?

  • Drawing outside of overridden paint

    How can I draw outside a paint in awt ?
    I have a method and I don't know how to get the Graphics object to draw on the
    Frame, Panel etc.

    unix.bsd wrote:
    Still, same question, using paintComponent on a panel for example when I click the panel
    lets say I have a mouseListener I want to draw something I must call the paintComponent?It would be a JPanel, and no, you wouldn't call paintComponent as you almost never call paint or paintComponent directly. Have you had a chance to go through the 2D graphics tutorial on the Sun site? If not, you should as it will likely answer most of your questions.
    It is bizarre for me, why can't I have drawing logic and actions outside of a paint ?Because doing Java graphics requires a different way of thinking. It was bizarre to me and I think most of us when we started to learn it, but with study and practice, it will become more second nature. Again I highly recommend the tutorials.

  • Drawing lines, rectangles and circles as objects onto a JPanel.

    Hi. I have to complete a task in school. The work is to create some simple 2D graphical editor. I'm new to java and I have some problems with this job, so I'm looking for help where it is possible...
    I created a JFrame and using it as a window. Into this JFrame I've added a toolbox (JToolBox) and "drawpad" - a JPanel. The toolbox wasn't any problem, but I aim to use the JPanel for drawing 2D objects. I tought about creating some container of objects, where I could put lines, rectangles or circles, each one with its properties (color, [x; y] coordinates on the scene, filling and drawing width) and then, draw this scene onto the JPanel.
    It should be something like windows Paintbrush. Can be simplier, but including the possibility to move and change properties of drawn objects.

    Well, there are two approaches to this that come to mind:
    1. Create an image. If this program is supposed to be like Windows Paint, the tools you are describing are only there for the sake of modifying a two dimensional image. In that case, I would recommend using a BufferedImage.
    The JPanel can contain a single JLabel. The JLabel is constructed in the following fashion:
    JLabel image_label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bufferedImage));...where bufferedImage is the image on which you will be storing the data. You can use bufferedImage.getGraphics() to get an object which will quite happily draw geometric shapes for you. Then, after each draw, you tell the panel to repaint itself.
    2. Store the shapes and create a component to draw them for you. You'd create a new JComponent class that would accept objects representing geometric shapes. You then override the paintComponent method on this new class to have it render itself according to the contents of the geometry objects. It would also probably be advisable to have all of these classes implement a common interface (which you would also create) so the rendering component could treat them identically.

  • Drawing with a pencil = circles and rectangles

    When I am drawing with a pencil, the line looks like the shape I want to draw, but when I stop drawing, the shape reshapes to another shape whick looks like circles and rectangles = it does not look like the shape I wanted to draw. What is the problem?

    at the bottom of the tools panel click the pencil mode icon and choose ink or, use the brush tool if you want no adjustment to your drawing.

  • Drawing a colored cursor on a text area given coordinates

    Hi all,
    Does anybody know how to draw a telepointer ( ie. a small coloured arrow like the cursor) given point coordinates on a text area? Please help.

  • How to select a set of points in a xy graph contained in an area draw with the cursor ?

    I'm using tIhe XY graph to plot a Pointcare representation of RR intervals (heart beat). I would like to use the mouse to draw a polygone surrounding the points of interest and get their indexes from the original array. Thank you to oriented me to some strategy!
    Olivier 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This can be done, but unfortunately is not trivial. Since this is the second request I have seen in the last week for this type of functionality, I would encourage you to post the idea to the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.
    All graphs have a front, middle, and back image, which is set using a picture control data type.  You can use this to draw your cursor using an unfilled rectangle.  You can capture mouse events on the XY graph using the event structure, and update your enclosed rectangle (or ellipse, or whatever you would like to draw) when the mouse moves.  You can extract the enclosed data points from your original data set when a mouse up event occurs or when the user clicks inside the rectangle after drawing it.  You may also want to include ways to tweak the boundaries of the rectangle.
    This is relatively straightforward if you have used the event structure before, but could be very confusing if not.  Let us know if you need more information or help.

  • Elements 10 loss of cursor circle

    Just started using Elements 10 ans when trying to use the spot healing brush or the clone stamp, instead of the usual circle for the cursor position all I'm getting is a small cross. What am I doing wrong please?

    In Editor, go to Edit>preferences>Display and cursors. Uncheck "show crosshair in brush tip." Check "normal brush tip."
    For other cursors check"normal".
    Be sure that the caps lock on the keyboard if off.
    Now, when using the clone stamp tool, you may have to increase the size of the cursor if the problem persists. The easiest way is to use the bracket keys on the keyboard. ] for larger, [ for smaller.
    Let us know how you make out.
