I wish to create a scatter bubble chart where the position of the bubble is dependent on the values of the X and Y axis, the size of the bubble is dependent on a third data dimension and the colour of the bubble will vary according to another grouping type dimension. Is this possible under illustrator?

2. doubled horizontal size of the line
I'm using scatter brush to draw multiple lines with random size and angle(image 1.), and trying to increase only the horizontal size(image 2.), keeping the interval the same. But when I do, the interval is also increased since 'Spacing' option follows the size of the base object. I could adjust and decrease the spacing value, but the problem is, spacing option cannot go below 1%. So if want to increase the line size and maintain the interval, there's no way to do it. expending then scaling could work, but that's not what I want.
I want my leader line to always have an 'invisible extension' that goes through the centre of the bubble (unlike the attached image)
how do I do this?
I must make some Pie Charts at work, and the data is in a Excel file. Of course all Values are in decimal for a 100% value:
25,611,30,58,510,715,410,46,80,63,91,94,4
Now i realized, that Illustrator can't work with decimal? But that's wrong! The values are exactly 100 (%). Where the gap comes from? So i goggled it and find out, that this bug exists since CS2 (i have CC)! The wrong solution is to clear manually all decimal commata:
256113585107154104686391944
Then it works as usual, but this workflow is not a pro solution!A coworker made this datafiles in hours, and then another worker delete this again?
I have a state map that is made up individual vector files of each county in the state. They are grouped together. I want to make it seem as if though there is more space between each of the counties as if there they've all been separated just a little bit more than. Is there a way I can do this efficiently in Illustrator? I'm working in CS 6 on a mac.

For example, if you prodoce a simple 3-slice pie chart using: 99.5, 0.1, 0.4 .... the smallest slice will be lost. It looks as though Illustrator will not show anything under a quarter of a per cent.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created some sample pie charts for a client - had no problems with the document while it was open. It saved fine, I even saved it as an EPS. However, when I try to reopen the document, it gives me an error (whether I open the illustrator or eps file).
I haven't been able to track down the reason for it. It has 6 sample pie charts on it. The text and labels are simply text or lines drawn on a separate layer. The "hole" is simply a white circle on top of the chart. There isn't really anything complicated with it, so I'm not sure where the error is. I've already recreated this but had the same problem again.
This does not happen for all pie charts - there is another file I created with other samples, and I've been able to reopen that. The odd thing is that even though I get the error, it seems to partially open the file - only a few of the elements show up.
I am working on a scatter chart in Illustrator. We would like to use circles instead of the default square. I have figured out how to create and use a custom graphic for this. However, no matter what size circle I create, it seems to default back to the size of what the square was.
Is there any way to customize the size of the graphic objects used in the scatter chart?
I have a rectangle with a number of vertical gradients, what I would like is to add a gradient horizontally, to have the whole thing fade to white along the x-axis. Is there any way to do this?

I ran the adobe updates and it updated what it needed but I'm still unable to find it. Am I looking in the wrong chart? The name matches that of my PMS book so it just doesn't make sense.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created two three dimensional shapes that are extruded at different angles. How do I
1) move one of the shapes so that it intercepts the other shape and

I have been desperately searching for ways to precisely surround my text with a bubble stroke. I need this shape to strictly adhere to the text's form rather than loosely surround it. The resulting shape will need to enclose both the top and bottom text, which ultimately will form a logo. I just want to clarify, I am not looking to simply apply a stroke around the letters. Again, I am trying to outline the entirety of this image with a precise shrink wrapped bubble.
I realize this is possible with the pen tool; however, my hope is to discover a more accurate and simple technique.I have posted an image of my situation, which illustrates my initial attempt to pen around the text.
What technique should I use to make the edge of a video reel border the speech bubble, like in the attached sketch. I've already traced the speech bubble and the exclaimation mark.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read articles and viewed videos on how to use the scatter or shatter effect but it isn't quite what she is looking to accomplish.
Here is what she would like to accomplish:
There is one word (type) in the front and an object in the back (z-index below the type) that object will move forward to disperse the word/type but retain their shapes; meaning she does not want the type (the individual letters) to fall completely apart. She just wants to send them out in every direction.
We have a project to make flowcharts in Photoshop. I know there are programs specifically used to produce flowcharts, but PS CS3 is what we have. We have the text boxes and now trying to decide what line tool to use to connect the boxes. We tried the brush and pencil tool at 6 pixels and hold down the shift key to draw horizontal, then click and hold shift again for vertical, but we are getting "ink/Paint" blotter bleed.
I tried the pen tool, but it doesn't seem to allow you to draw a single line one way, select it and then apply a 6 pixel stroke. Is it possible to use the pen tool this way?
I'm looking for a script for scattering proxies on a surface or along a spline. In previous versions of Max I used Peter Watje Scatter. But itdoesn't seem to be available for 2012.
I don't have enough use for it to justify buying Carbon scatter or multiscatter and I find render farms don't tend to have these plugins anyway. Forest Pack lite only works on flat surfaces.
I have been using CorelDraw for years (since version 2) to dress up charts generated in Excel by using copy picture from Excel and pasting (special) as an enhanced metafile. Now since moving to Excel 2010 and CorelDraw X5 it seems some functionality has changed so that most of my chart objects (symbols, lines, but not text) appear in CorelDraw as two separate objects when I view them with wireframe mode.
One seems to be the outline of the object, the other is the centreline (see below). This makes editing tedious because for symbols, I must individually delete the outline object. For lines it is impossible - basically a line in the Excel chart turns into a "sausage" which can be both filled and outline edited. Maybe I am just missing an option somewhere to deal with this or is this some option in Excel that I need to change (re- the latter, a colleague with Adobe Illustrator doesn't have this problem on the same Excel charts).
I'm trying to import Excel charts (from Excel Office Home and Student 2010) into Autocad LT 2009.

BTW, I tried the trial of Autocad LT 2012 and still had the problem.

why can't I snap to a knot on a spline when trying to use a dimensional constraint? I can snap any other geometric feature like a line or a dimension string to a knot.

I really need to be able to control a spline's fit points with dimensional constraints, but I can't get at them exept to manually move them around.
