Text filled with objects

Illustrator
can anybody help me in this?
let say we need some text like " CIRCLE" and it should be filled with small circles (Like below) but not clipping mask mean the object should not flash cut on the edge of characters.
is there any effect, or we need to do it manually?

Sajid,
Here is a(nother) way to get a nice and orderly distribution of dots (that do not touch one another). It may be further optimized, beyond what is shown.
You may (specifics applying to an S):
1) Create the lettershape or Type>Create Outlines from an existing live Type letter;
2) If needed (starting with live Type), change from Fill to Stroke and delete the end segments;
3) If needed (starting with live Type), Ungroup and Object>Compound Path Release and possibly reverse either path so both have the same direction, see below;
With only the outer paths (which should have matching Anchor Points),
4) Object>Blend>Options, with Specified Steps set to the number of inner paths (2 in the case shown), and Orientation>Align to path;
5) Object>Blend>Make
6) In the Stroke palette, set the Stroke Weight to the desired dot thickness, set Cap>Round Cap, and tick Dashed Line with Dash = 0 and Gap = Stroke Weight+desired gap between dots, corresponding to the gap between the rows of dots;
7) If needed, adjust the Dashes to fit, inbuilt (in the options) in the newest version, in older versions, you may use the free Adjust Dashes script avaialble here:
http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html
Below is shown an S in Helvetica Bold at 144pt, with Stroke Weight = 12pt and Gap = 15pt (before adjustment). It may be further optimized.
To reverse the direction of a path, you may select the path and:
A) Object>Compound Path>Make;
B) In the Attributes palette tick Reverse Path Direction On;
C) Object>Compound Path>Release.
You can see whether it is needed when you make the blend; if it is messy, reverse either path.
You can also see the path directions by Effect>Stylize>Add Arrowheads; they should be at the same end.

  • Show text filled with video.

    I have a solid layer, a text layer and a video. I need to erase the solid layer only in the part where the text comes and show video behind it. How can I do this?

    Look up track matte in your AE manual. You might also search the AE community (that comes up with the online manual) for "text fill."

  • Has anyone experienced Labview 8.2 crashing when attempting wire a cluster filled with object and task references?

    I am getting a complete shutdown (crash) of Labview 8.2 when placing the wiring tool over a cluster that is filled with task and object references.  The crash occurs on all computers I have attempted it on and happens throughout all VIs in all classes that distribute multiple references throughout the VI using a cluster.  The entire project I am developing is programmed in GOOP.  Has anyone experienced anything like this?  I have provided a screen shot of the place where the crash is generated.  Let me know if anyone has any insights.

    There are several known crashes with LVClasses. One of the easiest
    fixes is to load your application into memory and then hit
    ctrl+shift+click on the Run arrow of your top-level VI. Then do
    File>>Save All. You might also try selecting that wire (with the
    selection tool -- use the Tools Palette to explicitly select a tool
    other than wiring) and deleting it and then rewiring those terminals.

  • Why are routine processes (mouse scrolling, viewing videos, appearance of typed text) filled with pauses? I've disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins, and don't encounter this problem with other browsers.

    My problem is unique to the Firefox browser, and does not occur with Opera or IE.
    Way too often (about once a minute or so), Firefox will suffer a brief pause in performing functions, even simple ones.
    It is impossible for me to watch any video in Firefox without the picture pausing periodically. Oftentimes, text I type suffers a delay before appearing in a web form. Mouse scrolling is not very dependable at all.
    I have disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins and add-ons, yet the problem still persists. I have attempted to streamline to only the most necessary plug-ins, but to no avail.
    I love Firefox, but I don't like the choppy videos or downgrading of my productivity these problems are causing.

  • JComboBox Locked after filling with Objects

    I used Netbeans to create a vehicle management system. I have added a JComboBox from the Netbeans IDE to an JInternalFrame. When I call the following cord to populate the JComboBox, when run, the first item remains as the selection. I can get the other items in the drop down, but can not select any of them except for the first one. That means the JComboBox is locked. As the complete source code is big, I can not attach it here. I will email it if you need.
    public static void fillList(ArrayList objects, JComboBox combo) {
    combo.removeAllItems();
    for (Object object : objects) {
    combo.addItem(object);
    Thanks in advance,

    As the complete source code is big, I can not attach it here.We are not interested in the complete source.
    I suggest you use the DefaultComboBoxModel and remove/add items directly to the model and not the combo box.
    For more help create a [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE, that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
    Please read the "Welcome to the new home" posting at the start of the forum to learn how to use the "code tags" so posted code is formatted and readable.

  • Some text after creating outlines fills with gadient

    I have a few files in Illustrator CS that when I select all text and "create outlines" of them, about half of the text fills with black (normal), and the other half fill with a black to white gradient.
    Has anyone else seen this?
    Thank you very much for any information regarding this.

    If you are working too fast and press the decimal point on the numeric key pad it will change all your selected vectors to grad fills. Could this be what is happening? I do this sometimes by accident when going for the ENTER key.

  • Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF form to aut fill with current/today's date?

    I have a form for booking appointments and would like the date field to automatically fill with
    today's date and to print. I have set the text field's format to "Date" and when I place the cursor into the
    date field, today's date shows. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.
    Does this action require a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If so, where do I find that?
    Or is there another way to format the text field (besides typing today's date) to get the current date?
    Thanks.

    Thank you GKaiseril!
    From the examples by Chris Dahl, I edited the script in the text field editing dialog to reflect the title I had given the field. That fixed the problem of today's date disappearing as soon as I tabbed to the next field.
    How do I choose for document level or page open script? I would like it to insert the date upon opening the document.
    Thanks again.

  • Problem with putting shadow on text over another object

    Hi!
    See the attached file on the following link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21034413/TEST_PROBLEM.indd.
    I try to give a outer glow effect on text that goes over a white rectangle; in the real case it's an image with a white background. As you can see, the shadow effect does not apply on the parts going over the rectangle. I can't find out which configuration it is that influences this.
    Thanks in advance and best wishes,
    Max

    I believe the problem here is that the rectangle is filled with the [Paper] swatch. The outer glow you've applied to the text uses the Screen blending mode and will only show against a darker background or no background at all.

    Max,
    Open your picture fileAccess the cookie cutter tool in the toolbox. On the tool's option bar, click on the fly-out for the crop shapes. Select the circular shape (it's all black). Hold down the shift key on the keyboard and drag out the circle to embrace what you wish to retain. You can drag the circle to adjust further, then crop.
    To add text, get the type tool and type the text. This will be on a separate layer. Note that there are areas of transparency (checkerboard pattern) outside the circlular area.
    Use the Paintbucket tool to fill these areas. The tool uses the foreground color.
    Another option would be to place a layer below the circle layer and fill it with a pattern or whatever you want.
    Feel free to repost if this is not clear.

  • Filling Text art with gradient or pattern

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to fill some existing arts (path, text, compound) with a just created gradient or a pattern loaded in the swatch
    To achieve that I'm trying to change the path style:
    GetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
         pathArtStyle.strokePaint = false;
         pathArtStyle.fillPaint = true;
         pathArtStyle.fill.color.kind = kGradient;
         pathArtStyle.fill.color.c.b.gradient = myGradient;
    SetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
    This works for kPathArt,
    but nothing happens for kTextFrameArt or kCompoundPathArt.
    How can I program this ?
    thanks in advance
    PS: I also tried to program the procedure "How to Fill Text with a Pattern or Gradient in Adobe Illustrator" described for illustrator UI, w/o success
    PS: I have similar problem when trying to create a clipping using SetGroupClipped()  (see AI function reference) while the clipping path is a text or compound. No clipping is done.

    To fill text with a gradient or pattern youi can do two things, either
    1) outline your text (Type > Create Outlines) then click on the pattern or gradient swatch you require. For easier control of gradients it is best to make a compound path of all the letters. This method is not editable because the type is no longer live.
    2) If your type needs to be live do the following: Type your text and colour it None (no fill, no stroke). Then Appearance panel flyout menu; Add New Fill and click on your swatch.

  • Filling Worflow container with objects (OOAD)

    Hi Gurus,
               I have created a workflow,which has abap objects as container element. Can anyone let me know how can I fill the container element with object..I have tried with marcos as mentioned in the library..but not container is not filled ..plz advice....
    Create a variable for the object reference. Use the following command to do this:
    DATA <Object> TYPE SWC_OBJECT.
    Create the object reference. Use the following command to do this:
    SWC_CREATE_OBJECT <Object> <ObjectType> <ObjectKey>.
    Write the object reference into the container using the following macro instruction:
    SWC_SET_ELEMENT <Container> <ContainerElement> <Object>.
    Thank you

    BalusC -- The line that gives me my NullPointerException is when I call the "DisplayProduct()" method. Its a dumb question, but with NetBeans how do I find out which reference could be null? I'm not very familiar with how NetBeans works with finding out how to debug. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.The IDE is com-plete-ly irrelevant. It's all about the source code.
    Do you understand anyway when and why a NullPointerException is been thrown? It is a subclass of RuntimeException and those kind of exceptions are very trival and generally indicate an design/logic/thinking fault in your code.
    SomeObject someObject = null; // The someObject reference is null.
    someObject.doSomething(); // Invoking a reference which is null would throw NPE.

  • Can't figure out why all of my editable text fields are filling with the same text.

    I running Adobe Reader 7.  I was given a PDF file that has three seperate text fields.  I typed test into the first field, and the other two fields have filled with the exact same text.  What is up with that?  I've enclosed the file for your enjoyment.

    The fields has the same name.

  • Filling an object with a pattern without distortion?

    I have this camo pattern:
    wich already tiles seemlessy but when i turn it into a swatch it won't tile. it distorts the pattern and blows it up instead of using it as is and tiling:
    what is the problem here? can i scale it in some option menu? can i control the orientation? im creating a vector based logo, is this the right way to go about filling the object with this pattern?
    i want it to be scaled and tiled. what is the best way to go about it? what would u do? thanks in advance

    yup i thought so. it HAS to be vector based.
    it does not have to be vector, it can be jpeg or gif, but it has to be embedded...as for not using it in a logo, Scott can explain that.
    255x247 px
    the object is any size as its a vector. How are u filling yours? photoshop then a clipping mask?
    I meant the size of the camo image in relation to your vector object, not the actual size in pixels.
    in this sample I grabbed a GIF, embedded it, dragged it to the swatches palette, sent the image to back, then filled both the small object and the big object with the gif-embedded swatch, just to illustrate what happens with the size position.
