Illustrator SDK :: How To Use Transformation Matrix In Placed Suite
Nov 6, 2013
I am in trouble how to use the transformation matrix Placed Art (PlacedSuite ).
AIRealMatrix rasterMatrix;
AIRealMatrix placedMatrix;
if (artType == kRasterArt {
error = sAIRaster-> GetRasterMatrix (art, & rasterMatrix);
} else if ((artType == kPlacedArt) {
error = sAIPlaced-> GetPlacedMatrix (art, & placedMatrix);
}
When I converted to using the transformation matrix of PlacedArt, the target art could not be converted to expect. I could convert in case of the RasterArt. (The reference point of the transformation matrix of RasterArt is (0,0).)
In the PlacedArt, preference point is not (0,0)?
The tx/ty of the transformation matrix of PlacedArt is not correct?
In the transformation matrix of RasterArt and Placed Art, how are those two different?

I'm using a transformation matrix to adjust objects scale.
Sub Scale()
[...]
''Definition of the matrix
Dim ScaleMatrix(0 To 15) As Double
ScaleMatrix(0) = X_ScaleFactor
ScaleMatrix(1) = 0
[Code] ......
If X_ScaleFactor = Y_ScaleFactor all works fine, but if X_ScaleFactor <> Y_ScaleFactor (e.g. X_ScaleFactor = 2 and Y_ScaleFactor = 4 I get the following exception: eCannotScaleNonUniformly.
It isn't possible to define different scale factors for X and Y axis? It seems a strange thing.

I am using the COM SDK.
Most of the objects have a Matrix which is going to store the objects rotations, flips, etc.
Many objects that I see appear to have a translation that takes it to somewhere around 7,000 - 9,000, but it's not constant.
What is this matrix in relation to?
From what point is it translated from?
When I set the matrix to the "identity" matrix, all the items are flipped upside down. Why?

In X5 I had it set up so I could re-size proportionally and it was right under where object properties is now in X6. How I can get my workspace so it's there again? Or at least where I can find the tool that re-sizes proportionally?

One Question:
I noticed that in CDX4 under the tranformations docker we had the "apply to duplicate" feature under the rotate option. However, I do not see it in CDX5.
Is this a change that was made to CDX5? Or am I missing something when I loaded CDX5 to my computer?

On my tool barin transformation bar i had position - absolute (coordinates) and size of a selected object.
i changed something and now i have position like 0.00 x 0.00 (i think its relative position) and when i write something in position it moves relative to previous.
when i press alt+f7 i can change position relative and absolute but toolbar don't change. How to set toolbar to show me always absolute position?

I have been using coreldraw 12 for some time and all of a sudden the transformation docker, I usually get it to pop up with the alt F7 shortcut, does not come up. None of the ones listed under arrange, transformations will work. Have I accidently turned something off or what. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it is the same. I am running windows 7

I export many web graphics at the same size so with x6. I thought I would love the presets with x6 however when I set the preset to export like at 700px width it changes and re-sizes the exported graphic to 350px width. It show 700px on the screen when I load the preset however right when I click export or if I place me cursor in the transformation box it changes. I even tried to change it too 1400px hoping it would then change it to 700px but it still changes it to 350px.

Explain the values of the matrix returned from the ITextFrame::GetMatrix() function (wrapper for sTextFrame->GetMatrix()). The a,b, c and d values which represent the rotation (and possibly the shear deformation) are OK,
but I can't relate the tx and ty values to the position of the text object on the artboard.As a test I tried the following code:
AIErr
CreatePointText( short paintOrder, AIArtHandle prep,
AIRealPoint *textPoint, AIArtHandle *newText)
{
AIError error;
error = sAITextFrame->NewPointText( paintOrder, prep,
kHorizontalTextOrientation,
[code]...
But the tx and ty values returned in matrix are now both 0. They should equal textPoint.h and textPoint.v, shouldn't they?

I need to get the position and orientation of the first and the last character in a text frame art, that is, I need its matrix.There are a number of functions in the API that is supposed; here's a snippet from the file ATESuites.h
Return transformation matrix of this run.The matrix returned spesify the full transformation of the given run. You need to transform the origin by IGlyphRun::GetOrigins() and
concat with ITextFrame::GetMatrix() in order to get the location of the glyphs.
ATEErr (*GetMatrix) ( GlyphRunRef glyphrun, ASRealMatrix* ret);
Hence, getting the matrix of the first character or glyph should look something like this:
AIErr
VMGetFirstTextMatrix( AIArtHandle textArt, AIRealMatrix *matrix)
{
ASRealMatrix frameMatrix, glyphMatrix;
ASRealPoint firstPoint;
try
{
[code]....
But the coordinates, either returned in frameMatrix (tx and ty) or the firstPoint are obviously wrong. It appears that they an offset which is allmost constant. The x-values are approx 7664 points too large (give and take a few decimals), and the y-values are approx 7893 too large (also give and take a few decimals).

I have the common problem to resize the artboard to standardize technical illustrations to the format 50x50mm.
I would like to group the objects for further transformationsI would transform the group to 45mm and scale stroks and effectsN.B.: here It should be a test on landscape format
I would align the group to the page center
Public Sub copy_paste_with_transformation ()
'Duplicates grouped items in a new document with landscape sensitive transformation
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
'calculate the size of objects do define if it's landscape or not
Bounds = appRef.ActiveDocument.VisibleBounds
[Code] .....

I load a PNG in Illustrator. However when it loads it doesn't load right. It loads HUGE. When I try and move it, it says:
"Can't move the objects.The requested transformation would make some objects too large."
Why can't Illustrator just open a bloody PNG and allow me to edit it?!

I change the reference point in the transform panel to the lower left corner and scale a shape down, however, it does not seem to make a difference when scaling the square. What exactly is it doing?

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

I have done it exactly how it says
filter/texture/grain/verticle intensity = 100 contrast = 100(it says set both to 100, but setting them both to fifty looked more like the video?)
Then filter/artistic/neon glow size = 5 glow = 20

I have an aleatory number of squared pictures (ex: 4x4 of 6x6, or 10x10, etc) that may change everytime.
These files together become a "big picture".
What I want is an action to photoshop make a collage respecting the number of rows and collumns.
So, row 1 would have: Picture 1.png in collum 1; picture 2.png in collum 2 than row 2 would have: picture 3.png in collum 1; picture 4.png in collum 2
How can I do that?
Can I make an action that if I settle the matrix size, photoshop can take all the pictures from one folder and fulfill that matrix?

One of the companies I support is using CorelDraw X3 to create data plates for components to be created using various silk screen and laser etching machines. At the moment, they are hard coding the data into the template. In order to print batches instead of single items, we are trying to assist them in pulling in data from a spreadsheet (most preferred is a .csv file).
I have figured out how to use the Print Merge function to pull in most of the data. The one item that is still eluding me is a 2D matrix, or UID, that needs to be created on the template. This is similar to a linear barcode. I need to pull in the data from the spreadsheet, in this case a single line of text with special characters, but I need it displayed as a 2D matrix.
I believe I read somewhere that barcodes are not supported in X3. Is this true or is there a way to import this data into a barcode format?
Attached is an example of a 2d Matrix and here is a sample of the data string:
[)>0617V192071P9346412S11488
(there's and end of transmission special character on the end that I couldn't get to paste, looks like a superscript backwards L)

Is it possible to create an interface that has two different animations on it?
The problem is one of them works on a three frame loop. The other I thought I would create a continuous scrolling effect like you find on those Matrix Effect animation tutorials.
However, I don't know anything about animation and I don't know the limits of ImageReady.

1. Get a picture of a car (or something else), and a picture of some matrix code.
2. cut out the car using the magnetic lasso and paste it on as a new layer on the picture of the matrix code.
3. Go to image, adjustments, Hue/Saturation., and adjust it so it looks like the color of you code.
4.Copy a large square chunck of code and place it on a new layer.
5. The go to Edit, Define Pattern, and call it matrix.
6.now go to your car layer and click a part of the picture other than the car and ckick on it with the magic wand tool. Then right click on that same spot and click on select inverse, then copy it.
7. Now drag this layer over the layer of the matrix code and erase around it until it fits in nicely with the rest of the code. (don't erase too much.) Then press control+E to merge the two layers into one.
8. Duplicate the green car layer twice, and set all three car layers mode to vivid light.
9.Then mess with the Hue/Saturation menu until you car blends in nicely.
(Optional part which I did on the picture posted here)
10. Press the print screen button and copy and the paste image you get into a new image. Then use the magic wand tool on the car from your original image and copy and paste it on top of the new matrix car on a new layer.
11. Then while the lines are on the car you pasted, go to the car that is already there and copy and paste it onto a new layer. Then delete the first car you pasted in.
12. Mess with the Hue/Saturation on the car layer until it blends in with the matrix coding even better.

i have loads of underwater photos of a ship wreck (plan View) and would like to be able to join them together in a matrix about 12 x 12 photo. It would be great if when tring to position a photo you could see through it so allowing you to drop it on the photo below easly.

how to achieve the styling that the matrix font has using other fonts? i know that there's a downloadable version of the actual font Miltown (and a Miltown II as an alternate version), but what i'd like to do is take a source font (presumably the font that Miltown started from) and give it the random offset/winded line effect that the matrix font has. once i know how to do this for at least one font i'd be able to apply this effect to other objects (not just text objects).

This part is logical. Add text to a vector layer and write a script to show the text and the position. From what I can tell, the Characters key is the text and the Start key is the (X,Y) position.
So far no problem, click the text 1 pixel right and the Start[0] increases by 1. Same with 1 pixel down and Start[1] increases by 1.
Now for the crunch... Rotate the text and Start does not change (no matter how much you move the text).
By trail and error, I find that the Matrix key changes.
Now, Matrix has 9 values and from what I can tell Matrix[0], Matrix[1], Matrix[3] and Matrix[4] somehow relate to angle. Probably sin and cos of the angle from the x- and y- axis respectively.
Matrix [2] and Matrix[5] do increase linearly with shifts in x and y. How does this relate to the actual position of the text
You can see a more detailed description of the problem and my sample script here. [URL]

The brush dynamics matrix is all greyed out and there is no way to activate it. Maybe Im doing something wrong. I understand that you can either set the brush dynamics preset or set the matrix. Also the curve editor doesnt seem to be working either.

We want to create a 'graduation plaque' with a number of students in a grid - like this
[URL].........
The source photos are all different sizes. Is there a faster/easier method of producing something like this rather than resizing every image to fit a predefined size and then manually placing them on separate layers?
