who extends an irregular curved line straight

Imagine that the image below is a piece of wire:

Color gradient test.jpg

Is it possible in photoshop to 'stretch' this thread in a straight line. In other words, is there a way to copy the color gradient and apply it to a straight line with all the relative distance between the unspoilt colours?

Trying to eyeball an example below for the estimate but I'm looking to do, specifically keeping the actual relative distances between colors:

The manual version not-so-quick and dirty from my previous answer:

Make a new gradient with eleven stops, spaced 10% of part use the pen to draw a path along the 'son '. Make a pixel of 7 x 7 hollow of the brush in order to target the pipette. Set the spacing of the brush at about 625% and stroked path. This gave me 21 "targets".

In the gradient editor, I went through each step in turn and sampled all other targets along the way. I guess that hade been as 1300% spacing there would be 11 targets, so that I could have tasted all...

  • Is it possible for a line chart display curved lines between the points?

    We have a demand interesting to build a line chart in OBIEE, where the points on the graph are connected by curved lines instead of the normal straights. The best way to describe it would be "serpentine". I saw this in a Cognos report, but I do not know if OBIEE for this. Maybe a setting in line.pcxml? Any ideas?

    Currently, we do not provide the organizational chart. Both options, you have to connect the dots in a line chart are either via a straight line or a curve of the step. A curved line would essentially be a form of a spline, with suitable smoothing algorithms.

  • curved line

    Hello

    How can I draw a curved line with little thickness?

    I found only drawPathOutline(), but it is obsolete.

    Thank you!

    The main difference between using CUBIC or QUADRATIC is the way in which they come. The cube option places the point of 'focus' where the 2nd derivative is zero. When I hear 'focus' point im indicates the point where the curve changes direction (down to) between c1 and c2. Considering that the quadratic option state you physically the focus and the Graphics object creates a line from one point to end at a different endpoint.

    Check out this tutorial. It uses QUADRATIC points to describe its button.

  • How to draw parallel curved lines in Illustrator?

    brand.gif

    I am completely new to Illustrator. I looked at a few tutorials about it.

    I want to create a bunch of parallel curved line in illustrator as circled above, however, it is quite confusing because how do.

    Can someone guide me step by step?

    In fact the part circle of your example is just a unique, path path, so we really don't know what you want in terms of "parallel curve."

    In any case, a specific way to get parallel lines of any kind is using delay of path.

    Also use the pen to draw a path:

    With she is selected, choose object > path > offset path.

    Enter a positive value. Note that when you use the offset path on a path (as opposed to a closed shape), the offset goes 2 ways.

    Use the direct selection (white arrow) to select the unwanted bits and remove them:

    Leaving just the original path and its new parallel path:

  • How can I draw a curved line?

    Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried the Photoshop information and could not succeed.

    What should I do to draw a curve?  I have no problem, draw a straight line, it's pretty easy, but I was not able to find a way draw curves and get the same results to draw a straight line.  I tried to work with the Pen tool and I could draw some curved paths, but as I said that a path is something abstract, I can't work with it as a stright line.  I m pretty sure that the answer is simple, but I was not able to understand.  Can someone help me please?

    Howdy.

    But, how can I caress a path?

    To create your path, click on the button "Create a new path", second from right at the bottom of the garbage can. Select the pen tool. Draw your way. Click on the small triangle at the top right (highlighted). Select the path of the path.

    Select an option for how you want to stroke the path. I chose the brush. Brush properties are applied to the way such as a stroke.

    That's all. It will be useful.

    Peace,

    Lee

    PS: Semaphoric: did not know the shortcut. Thanks for the tip.

  • iMovie expand/extend/stretch the time line

    Hello

    I am learning to use iMovie and want to magnify or to stretch the horizontal timeline so it's easier to see more time.  Now, I don't want to change the duration of a clip - just the scale that the video may be brought against - the time line.  Is this possible with iMovie?

    David

    Of course you can do it. Under the Viewer is a slider that allows you to extend the timeline. Also, click settings and you will see a slider to change the size of the clamp.

  • Curved line - curved on both sides?

    I am trying to create a line that is looking for a diagram on the piping. When I create the line and in the options of race - choose rounded corners, or set the path and use the effect of "rounded corners" - the corners are rounded outside corners but not inside as you can see below. Can someone help me create rounded corners on both sides of the curve? Thanks in advance!

    Karen,

    You can:

    (1) create the shape of the pipe with acute angles;

    (2) effect > esthetics > rounded corners, by adjusting the RADIUS on about three quarters of the stroke weight (or maybe more, depending on how you want).

  • Frame 12 chart: hold SHIFT used to keep the line straight, now what?

    It was when you draw a line in Framemaker that now the SHIFT key while dragging the line would keep the straight line. This no longer works in Frame 12. What is the right way to get a straight line?

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that talk us about different things. I thought that you were concerened about the change of the line after what he drew.

    To create a new vertical/horizontal line, select the line tool (cursor becomes +), then hold down the SHIFT key. Now, click where you want to start (while holding down the SHIFT key), and then drag the line to where you want to end (i.e. your last approach). At this stage it will still be the selection and display the handles at both ends.

    For editing existing line, ctrl + click on the line. The handles will appear. Hold down the SHIFT key and then click the e handle you want to change. You can move horizontally or vertically along the imaginary axis passing through the selected breakpoint when you use the shift key modifier.

  • The edge to curve line

    Hello ,.

    I have a circle and a line which must overlap the circle perfectly.  For the moment, I have this:

    http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9440/ud3.png

    I want at the end to end the line perfectly up to the edge.

    How can I do this?

    I'm fairly new to illustrator, so if I use the technique completely wrong, please let me know.

    Bowen,

    How I (mis) understand it (including both line and circle are STROKE/nofill paths, otherwise it's a little easier and you can leave out some steps below), you can extend the line towards the top of the circle and either:

    A1 object) > path > Outline Stroke (for line and circle);

    A2) select the two and Pathfinder > divide;

    A3) remove the upper part of ray device;

    or:

    B1) copy of the circle and object > path > Outline Stroke to the circle of the copy, object > compound path > Release and remove the path internal;

    B2) with the circle of the copy in the front of the line, select both and object > clipping mask > make.

    or something else.

  • Is there a way to change the path, selectors, curved lines color

    Hello

    I do track of photo in photoshop using the pen tool. The lines, they are grey. Part of the picture is gray. This makes it a little hard to see adjustments when you use the points of direction to adjust the curves. Is there a way to change their color? I work in a work path in the path box.

    The colorful paths have been requested several times. I remember well, maybe wrong, but I think remember me Adobe, emphasizing the fact that the paths can be any color except gray because of something beyond the control of Adobe. Is it not strange that own Adobe Illustrator (and the apps by other companies) allow the user to specify the colors of the paths. Also note that Photoshop allows the user to choose colors for guides, smart guides, and slices.

  • question of tool pen to curve lines!

    Hello illustrators.

    I watched this tutorial of 1 minute:

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=7YuBcgJv6OM

    and this guy did a beautiful curve, but what is the tool of his replacement? IM also add that it is a point between the line, but when I try to

    a beautiful curve, rather im getting a triangular look line.

    upload-to-adobe.jpg

    He is just using the pen tool. But check the General preferences. Disable remove Auto should NOT be checked if you want this behavior.

    Personally I find this behavior, a pain in the long term, but you can use it if you like :-)

  • Part II of the curved line

    I thought I knew how to draw a curve at runtime by drawing to the average, but still the problems;  Here's what I've DONE WHERE I'm GOING WRONG? Thank you

    this.createEmptyMovieClip ("canvas_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth ());
    var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
    mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() {}
    this.isDrawing = true;
    This.new_x = this ._xmouse + last._xmouse / 2;
    This.new_y = this ._ymouse + last._ymouse / 2;
    This.orig_x = _xmouse;
    This.orig_y = _ymouse;
    This.target_mc = canvas_mc.createEmptyMovieClip ("", canvas_mc.getNextHighestDepth ());
    };
    mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {}
    If {(this.isDrawing)
    This.target_mc. Clear();
    This.target_mc. LineStyle (1, 0xFF0000, 100);
    This.target_mc. MoveTo (this.orig_x, this.orig_y);
    This.target_mc. LineTo (this.new_x, this.new_y);
    }
    updateAfterEvent();
    };
    mouseListener.onMouseUp = function() {}
    this.isDrawing = false;
    };
    Mouse.addListener (mouseListener);

    You should update the last point whenever the mouse moves and you should be on average the last point and the point if you try to smooth out your line.
