What is the Illustrator CS3 equivalent to the CorelDraw Contour Tool

I'm very new to AI. I've done a couple of chapters in the AI classroom in a book. Being so new, I don't have a clue what search arguments to use.
I've seen the contour tool in action in a tutorial to do gradients between two paths or around letters. It seems to have the capability to do the gradient from the outside in, inside out or from the center. In the Corel version you can specify the start and end colors as well as the number of steps. An accelerator control will skew the gradient to favor one end or the other.
Is there an equivalent to the CorelDraw contour tool in AI?

Two ways that I can think of at the moment are blends and multiple strokes. Or possibly a combination of the two.

  • What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database?

    Dear All,
    Can you please help me with the below question?
    What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database? Please let me know if you know their feedback and also licensing/cost information

    Why would you spend money to purchase a third-party tool that will be, almost by definition, less secure than the tools inside the product you already own and paid for?
    http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/pkgs/dbms_crypto.html
    But were I to have any to recommend one I would not do so without knowing information you seem to consider unimportant such as:
    1. Operating system
    2. Database edition and version
    3. What type of data needs to be secured
    4. What level of security is required

    2.What is the cost of upgrading to TFS 2012 from TFS 2010(VS ultimate version)?
    3.In Team Foundation Administration Console,what is the purpose of Lab Management,Build Configuration(Build
    Controller),Test Controller.Please guide me.
    4.How to create template for automation?What is the need of template creation.
    5.Whether I need to install build Controller & Test Controller for the lab Center  to work in MTM.

    Hi Nazimanasir,
    For your questions, check the replies in below items:
    1. Tfs is a dependent software, but have prerequisites for installation. And you may check MSDN pages to see the requirements like:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd578592(v=vs.100).aspx
    If you want to know TFS architecture, you can refer to the
    page for more information. And you can get started TFS 2010 from this
    page. You have to install SCVMM if you want to use it to manage virtual machines
    2. For the license issue, you might contact
    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/contact-us.aspx
    directly for the better response, where specialized experts live in. You can also refer to the upgrade guide here:
    http://vsarupgradeguide.codeplex.com/
    3. With the Lab management,  you can build and test in lab environment. Refer to this
    page for more information about lab management.  The build controller is for TFS build, and test controller is for testing which can be used to run test cases by MTM.
    4. I'm not quite clear the template you mean, please elaborate more details. If you're saying build process template, then you can use the build process templates that accompany with the team project. If you mean process template, you can check them in process
    template manager. You can also check this
    page for more information about customize TFS process template.
    5. Once you have setup your TFS machine, then you can configure build controller by following the instruction in this page:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330987.aspx And check this
    link for setting up test controller. For MTM related questions, you can also open a new thread in MTM forum for a better response.

  • What's the best migration tool to be used from sybase 12.5.3 to Oracle12c? Thanks!

    What's the best migration tool to be used from sybase 12.5.3 to Oracle12c? Thanks!

    Hi,
      If you have access to My Oracle Support then review this note for alternatives -
    How To Migrate Non-Oracle Databases For Which a SQL*Developer or Migration Workbench Option Is Not Available (Doc ID 393760.1)
    For example, you could use a gateway and connect to Sybase then copy table to Oracle, but this won't do things like move stored procedures etc and you would have to move these manually.
    Load the non-Oracle data into flat files and use SQL*Loader to put the data into Oracle tables. Again manual  work is required for the other objects.
    In Oracle 12c there will be additional features to help migrate from non-Oracle databases.
    In the 12c documentation there is a migration guide:
    Oracle® Database Migration Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1)
    http://st-doc.us.oracle.com/12/121/gateways.121/e22508/migr_tools_feat.htm#sthref8
    It lists steps as possible solutions how to migrate from a foreign database to Oracle in the section:
    Other Oracle Products that Enable Migration
    There may also be third party tools but Oracle only provide SQL*Developer.
    Is there any particular reason why you don't want to use SQL*Developer ?

  • What is the best IDE tool?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'd like to develop a web application using EJB(Enterprise JavaBean) and JSP scripts. What is the best tool for IDE and debugging tool, etc.
    Could you suggest one of the best currently available? I don't mind the cost much.
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    Lioba Park

    Best is a subjective term, however I can recommend JBuilder as an IDE to do just what you want.
    It comes complete with Tomcat and Borlands Enterprise Server. It supports other Web Servers and J2EE servers either natively or by using plug ins.
    Everything is nicely intergrated which means that you can do everything in the IDE.

  • What is the best diagnostic tool for Mac 10.7

    Having lots of weird problems....such as mail opens when I start an app,, have to reboot to open Mac, windows show on screen with desktop, etc.  Have verified disc &amp; repaired permissions. Shows all is ok... Installed Norton for Mac, no viruses.
    What is the best diagnostic program that can find what is going on?

    Norton Antivirus (made by Symantec) has a very long and illustrious reputation for mangling Mac OS X systems, sometimes to the point where a complete reinstall is necessary. Among other things, it installs kernel extensions which are known to cause kernel panics and system freezes; it contains known and documented bugs which can silently corrupt Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign files, destroy a user's ability to authenticate as an administrator, and (on PPC systems) can cause Classic to stop functioning; and Symantec has on at least two occasions now released flawed .dat file updates which erroneously report certain critical Mac OS X files as "viruses." (Deleting these "viruses" causes damage to the system that in some cases renders it unbootable.)

  • What's the best free tool to populate an Oracle database?

    I'm looking for a free tool to populate an Oracle Database 10g for testing purposes.
    Does anybody know the best one?
    Thanks,
    Carlos Felipe

    Hi Carlos,
    I'm looking for a free tool to populate an Oracle Database 10g for testing purposes.If you want to load test data, you may want to spend a bit and get something goog.
    There are several tools and methods for generating test data for Oracle:
    STATSPACK - You can easily write your own SQL capture, directly from the STATSPACK stats$sqlstat table.
    AWR - AWR captures historical SQL in the dba_hist_sqlstat table.
    SQL Tuning Sets – This 10g tool grabs SQL from the library cache or Oracle.
    SQL Performance Analyzer (SPA)  – This new 11g tool captures representative SQL workloads.
    Mercury LoadRunner  - A popular tools for simulating the real-world effect of an Oracle system change.
    Quest Benchmark Factory - A complete environment for showing the effects of an Oracle change.
    DBGEN - The TPC-H tools, dbgen and qgen allow for the development of anywhere from a gig to a terabyte databases.
    Hammerora - The Hammerora product provides a means to create a pseudo-TPC-C database and generate loads against it.
    Hope this answers your question . . .

  • What is the iPhoto levels tool doing that the Aperture tool isn't?

    I just bought a copy of Aperture, and I love it, except for one thing. I am used to performing quick and dirty improvements of my outdoor photos using the levels tool in iPhoto - I find it gives excellent results with minimal effort.
    However, I am not having the same luck with the levels tool in Aperture. Look at the following picture.
    http://avalys.net/ap/original.jpg
    http://avalys.net/ap/iphoto.jpg
    http://avalys.net/ap/aperture.jpg
    http://avalys.net/ap/iphoto-final.jpg
    The first photo is the original. The second photo has had the black point set using the levels tool in iPhoto (the left slider), and no other modification. The third photo has had the same thing done in Aperture. Notice that Aperture introduces a blueish color cast to the shadow on the rocks, and produces an odd effect (I don't know what to call it) on the bushes.
    What am I doing wrong here? What is different about iPhoto's level tool, vs. Aperture's?
    The fourth image is the full version of the original with just that single adjustment in iPhoto applied (dragging the left level slider over a bit). Try as I might, I can't reproduce the same modifications to the original in Aperture, even with a multitude of adjustments.
    MacBook Pro 2.4 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I have never worked with the levels tool in iPhoto, so I do not know how it works exactly but I know why you get that blueish tint in shadows and how you can avoid it.
    If you select RGB (or in your example even better the individual channels) instead of luminance in the levels tool in Aperture, you will see that the left side of the histogram ends at a slightly different position for all three colors. When you move the left slider in the luminance (or RGB) view you often cut off different amounts from the three colors, that plus the resulting re-adjustment of the rest of the histogram can cause color casts.
    One way to avoid these color casts is to set the 'blackpoint' separately for the three channels. A bit cumbersome and it can be tricky to get it right. Fortunately, Aperture has a build-in tool that can shift the blackpoint and largely avoid any unwelcome color casts.
    It is called the 'Auto-level - separate', the right-most button just directly under the histogram at the top of the adjustment HUD. It does exactly what I described before, set the 'blackpoint' separately for the three colors. Make sure you check and possibly adjust its default threshold settings (via the button in top-right corner of the HUD). It also adjusts the 'whitepoint', so it might do a bit more than you want it to.
    I have also found that the sliders in the Exposure section do a better job at maintaining natural colors than the levels slider (which is a bit of a pity, as the level controls offer you much more flexibility).

  • What is the "Psition Tuner" tool and why it is can't be found under Help?

    Hello,
    I'm using ID CS4 ME (middle eastern version) under OSX 10.5.6 and in my tools I see and icon that called "Position Tuner).
    I searched in Help, no such term appears there.
    I don't understand why.
    anyone?
    thank you
    Shlomit

    Hello All
    First about "position tuner tool"
    it is new tool for ME version and it is used with the new menu "Tasmeem"
    Second it is usages
    it allows users to move blocks of text, diacritics and even individual dots while preserving textual integrity and the Unicode data structure. Moreover, one can colour diacritics individually for book covers and illustrations. so you have control all over the words and dotes position
    Third i wonder why it is not exist on the ID Help even though it has a great role with who works on Arabic Text
    hope it wouldn't be a late answer and  fulfil your knowledge needs
    Thank you;

  • What is the best reporting tool to use over a WAN

    I am currently working on improving the performance of our Oracle FMIS over a WAN that covers most of Australia.
    I was wondering if anyone could point me to tech information on the impact of Oracle Reporting tools on a WAN.
    The three tools we use are ADI, Discoverer and strait Oracle Reports.
    I am not an expert in Oracle so even basic info on the effect of the 3 products would be of help, of course if anyone is willing to share their experiences it would be appreciated.
    We have two major user sites of 500 people seperated by 3000km and 5 minor sites 2000 from head office. I unfortunalty am at the major office 3000km from the server with 500 dissatisfited users.
