After the question if it’ll be used on black or white there’s a error message “Some objects were not understood”. If i said black the image shrinks to nearly invisible, if i said white it shrinks only a little bit.<br />Do i have to change something in the script for using it with german Illustrator or is it more complex, eg. due to new version CS5?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-60100900035592001752010-07-02T20:49:39.595-07:002010-07-02T20:49:39.595-07:00If you're getting code, then instead of direct...If you're getting code, then instead of directly clicking on the link you need to right click the link and select 'save as' and it should work for you...Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586720876169739222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-34738635401990610282010-07-02T19:59:47.539-07:002010-07-02T19:59:47.539-07:00When I download this file, it is an HTML document ...When I download this file, it is an HTML document and not a .jsx file.

I've already tried a few different approaches to optimization, but Javascript for AI is painfully slow for this sort of calculation.<br /><br />It should still work on large sets of data, although it will take a long time to process, and will probably LOOK like it's locked up. <br /><br />Id suggest just working in smaller blocks unless you want to let it run overnight.<br /><br />best,<br />-JJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586720876169739222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-58900662817626819142010-01-04T13:26:06.302-08:002010-01-04T13:26:06.302-08:00Great script - only thing I'm having issues wi...Great script - only thing I'm having issues with is with memory.

However, I tried using it on a rasterized vector shape, a gradient in a rectangle shape to be precise, and I keep getting this error message:<br />Error 1224: Numeric value expected<br />Line 89:<br />-> ob.width*=gray<br /><br />Could I make the script work for this situation? I'm trying to illustrate "density" according to a gradient of color...

You've given me a leg up on scripting for Illustrator, and you've also given me a way to do hexagonal versions of the random tiling I describe here:<br /><br />http://www.digitalartform.com/archives/2009/05/make_a_maze_in.html<br /><br />For your 'size by luminance' plugin, (on-black-bg variant) I didn't look that closely, but you may want to make a second pass and brighten your shrunken tiles by 1/luminance, so that you don't doubly darken already correctly-valued tiles.<br /><br />I had a similar issue here:<br /><br />http://www.digitalartform.com/archives/2004/12/history_of_phot.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904037919302318968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-57641523759593745802009-06-03T11:46:00.093-07:002009-06-03T11:46:00.093-07:00Finally.

LOVE the ability to do this in vector finally (without craploads of manual work or praying some autotrace function works today).<br /><br />A hint for if you just need the zoomed-halftone effect in raster: Everything is still printed halftone. Muss about in photoshop, send to your laser printer. Scan the results. Zoom as appropriate. Ta da! The randomness of really zooming in can work well for certain projects where a lot of the ordered, computer-generated ones need work to look "right."Steven Hooberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906610345363264283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727441.post-86026212794705075612009-05-04T19:26:00.000-07:002009-05-04T19:26:00.000-07:00This is amazing.
