Re: BorderColor of an image

Definitely, a great hint! You've pushed back the frontiers of ignorance again (for me, anyway) with the strokeGradient thing. Cheers, Roger On Mar 27, 2013, at 3:19 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: > Just posting a (possibly) helpful hint (I lost track of the original > issue). _

Ya but Scott, shouldn't borderColor also work? I think Peter's point was that he couldn't use borderColor. Roger On Mar 27, 2013, at 2:58 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: > With graphics, foreColor = textColor. > > But one way you can colorize the stroke of a graphic separately from its > textColor is

Re: BorderColor of an image

With graphics, foreColor = textColor. But one way you can colorize the stroke of a graphic separately from its textColor is to use a strokeGradient. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 3/27/13 1:49 PM, "Roger Guay" wrote: >Hi Peter, > >I never noticed that

Hi Peter, I never noticed that before since I always use the foregroundColor. Weird!! Cheers, Roger On Mar 27, 2013, at 10:12 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: > Hi Roger, > I did try this but came across another weirdness. I have it working but > only by setting the textColor of the graphic, not th

Re: BorderColor of an image

Hi Roger, I did try this but came across another weirdness. I have it working but only by setting the textColor of the graphic, not the borderColor! No matter, it works. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 7:27 PM, Roger Guay wrote: > I like it better because yo

It seems that Terry's suggestion is a clever way to work around the problem. On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 9:13 PM, Richmond wrote: > This is an old chestnut that keeps raising its hoary head, and is a right > pain in the backside. > > I cannot set the borders of two objects on one card to 2 different

I probably took the path of least resistance Roger because of looming deadlines but I do like some of the benefits of your solution and will try to find time to at least try them. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 7:27 PM, Roger Guay wrote: > I like it better be

Re: BorderColor of an image

I like it better because you can use rounded rectangles or any other graphic object and you can still use Graphic Effects for other enhancement. It must have been Scott that thought me these things!! Cheers, Roger On Mar 26, 2013, at 7:21 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > Roger, I didn't use your

Peter - you can just group the image with itself and set the borderColor of the group. That way you can have different colours for different images if you like and you don't have to go around setting the borderColor of your other objects individually. Terry... On 27/03/2013, at 12:21 PM, Peter

Another way, Peter, is to make the image the pattern of a rectangle. I'm sure you know that, but other newcomers might not! Roger On Mar 26, 2013, at 5:23 PM, Mac Bennett wrote: > Way down at the bottom of the bordercolor listing in the Dictionary: > > Tip: To set the color of an image's

BorderColor of an image

I'm probably spacing out on this but how do you set the bordercolor of an image? I have showborder on and 3D off. The Inspector palette colors tab doesn't have a border color on it, just first through eighth colors. I tried setting every one of those but no change. Plus those setti
