VEKTORIGRAFIIKAN KÄYTTÖ WEB- SUUNNITTELUSSA LAHDEN AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU Tekniikan ala Mediatekniikan koulutusohjelma Tekninen visualisointi Opinnäytetyö Kevät 2015 Johanna Koivuniemi Lahden ammattikorkeakoulu Mediatekniikan koulutusohjelma KOIVUNIEMI, JOHANNA: Vektorigrafiikan käyttö web- suunnittelussa Teknisen visualisoinnin opinnäytetyö, 66 sivua, 3 liitesivua Kevät 2015 TIIVISTELMÄ Opinnäytetyössä tarkastellaan vektorigrafiikkaa web-graafikon näkökulmasta. Tarkastelu lähtee muodostamalla yleinen käsitys vektorigrafiikasta sekä sen hyödyistä ja rajoitteista. Opinnäytetyössä käydään läpi erilaisia vektorigrafiikassa käytettyjä tiedostomuotoja sekä tutustutaan vektorigrafiikan käyttöön web-sivus- toilla. Erityisesti keskitytään SVG-formaatin käyttöön. Myös selaintuki on otettu huomioon. Lopuksi käydään läpi muutamia vektorigrafiikan ohjelmistoja ja niiden eroavaisuuksia. Case-osiossa käydään web-grafiikan toteuttamista käytännössä. Casen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia vaatimuksia vektorigrafiikkaohjelmiston suhteen todellisuudessa on, kun sitä käytetää web-grafiikan tuottamiseen. Työssä tutkittiin myös millaisia mahdollisuuksia ja rajoitteita on vektorigrafiikan käytössä web-grafiikassa. Casessa toteutettu web-sivusto tehtiin Lahden Seudun Kehitys LADEC Oy:lle. Vektorigrafiikkaohjelmistot muistuttavat käyttöliittymältään paljon toisiaan, mutta niiden käyttö on kuitenkin melko erilaista. Lisäksi käyttöjärjestelmä asettaa rajoit- teita. Myös ohjelmien helppokäyttöisyydessä löytyy eroja. Kaupalliset ohjelmistot ovat ominaisuuksiltaan

Grafika Rastrowa I Wektorowa
GRAFIKA RASTROWA I WEKTOROWA Grafikę komputerową, w dużym uproszczeniu, można podzielić na dwa rodzaje: 1) grafikę rastrową, zwaną też bitmapową, pikselową, punktową 2) grafikę wektorową zwaną obiektową. Grafika rastrowa – obraz budowany jest z prostokątnej siatki punktów (pikseli). Skalowanie rysunków bitmapowych powoduje najczęściej utratę jakości. Grafika ta ma największe zastosowanie w fotografice cyfrowej. Popularne formaty to: BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG GIF, PCX, PNG, RAW Znane edytory graficzne: Paint, Photoshop, Gimp. Grafika wektorowa – stosuje obiekty graficzne zwane prymitywami takie jak: punkty, linie, krzywe opisane parametrami matematycznymi. Podstawową zaletą tej grafiki jest bezstratna zmian rozmiarów obrazów bez zniekształceń. Popularne formaty to: SVG, CDR, EPS, WMF - cilparty Znane edytory graficzne: Corel Draw, Sodipodi, Inscape, Adobe Ilustrator, 3DS LISTA PROGRAMÓW DO GRAFIKI BITMAPOWEJ Darmowe: CinePaint , DigiKam , GIMP , GimPhoto , GIMPshop , GNU Paint , GrafX2 , GraphicsMagick , ImageJ , ImageMagick , KolourPaint , Krita , LiveQuartz , MyPaint , Pencil , Pinta , Pixen , Rawstudio , RawTherapee , Seashore , Shotwell , Tile Studio , Tux Paint , UFRaw , XPaint , ArtRage Starter Edition , Artweaver , Brush Strokes Image Editor , Chasys Draw IES , FastStone Image Viewer , Fatpaint , Fotografix , IrfanView , Paint.NET , Picasa , Picnik , Pixia , Project Dogwaffle , TwistedBrush Open Studio , Xnview Płatne: Ability Photopaint, ACD Canvas, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop Elements,

Everroll Inlay Installation
INFORMATION Frequently Asked Questions Inlay Cutting INTRODUCTION Imagine if you could install a beautiful rubber floor, with its strength and superior longevity, displayed with your own logo. Our Computer Aided Cutting Machine can do just that and it’s only limited by your imagination. Inlays can be used to create patterns, logos, route markers or lettering. Regupol can even create individually tailored chessboard patterns, geometric designs (rectangles, squares, diamonds, circles, ellipses) and contoured graphics that are suitable for installation by your expert floor fitter. CAPABILITIES OF THE MACHINE Our machine can cut everroll® and Regupol® products up to a maximum of 12mm thickness. Your design is only limited by the size of the cutting machine table, which is 1.2m x 3.5m. However, the cutting machine is so accurate that your design can be made to join over multiple lengths, effectively giving you an unlimited size. WHAT FILES DO WE ACCEPT? Our system accepts the AutoCad® DXF file format. When you create your own designs, it is important to use an application that can save to the DXF format. WHAT IF I CAN NOT SAVE TO A DXF FILE? We can convert almost any vector file into a DXF for you. Vector files are created and manipulated in common software such as Adobe Illustrator®, CorelDraw®, AutoCad® and various other vector based drawing applications including free software such as Inkscape, DrawPlus or LibreCAD. Some common vector file formats are ai, dxf, dwg, cdr, eps, ps, pdf, svg, drw, wmf Please note: Most applications can save to a PDF file, however PDF’s are only compatible if the original application that created it is a vector based application and not a bitmap.

Evaluation of the Usability Areasof the Open Source and Public Domain Applicationsduring the Creating of E-Learning Courses
EduAkcja. Magazyn edukacji elektronicznej nr 2 (12)/2016, str. 51—69 Ocena obszarów stosowalności aplikacji Open Source oraz Public Domain podczas tworzenia kursów e-learningowych Barbara Dębska Politechnika Rzeszowska [email protected] Lucjan Dobrowolski Politechnika Rzeszowska [email protected] Karol Hęclik Politechnika Rzeszowska [email protected] Streszczenie: W artykule przedstawiono wyniki oceny obszarów stosowalności wybranych aplikacji Open Source oraz Public Domain, wykorzystywanych podczas wytwarzania kursów e-learningowych. Omówiono ich funkcje i ergonomię pracy oraz niedostatki. Uwzględniono przeszkody, na jakie napotykają osoby przygotowujące doku- menty, przeznaczone do umieszczenia w materiałach e-learningowych. Opisane aplikacje pogrupowano tematycz- nie wg rodzajów przetwarzanych treści, a następnie oceniono pod kątem możliwości wykorzystywania nowych technologii internetowych w e-kursach. Zwrócono uwagę na trudności, jakie mogą sprawiać niektóre nowe tech- nologie teleinformatyczne podczas przygotowywania treści multimedialnych. W szczególności dotyczy to animacji realizowanych przy pomocy HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript i SVG. Słowa kluczowe: e-learning, open source, narzędzia pomocnicze, multimedia 1. Wprowadzenie 1.1. Treści kursów e-learningowych Obecnie coraz częściej strony kursów e-learningowych zawierają nie tylko tekst i grafikę statycz- ną, ale także treści multimedialne (Rys. 1). Przygotowanie takich materiałów wymaga użycia do- datkowych aplikacji, bowiem podstawowe narzędzia do przygotowania e-kursów nie

Learning Objectives: 1. What is Adobe Illustrator? 2. Understanding vector graphics 3. Creating new files and opening vector images 4. Touring & setting up personal workspace, artboards and basic layers 5. Exploring basic tools 6. Resources What is Adobe Illustrator? Adobe Illustrator is a 25yearold vector drawing application used by graphic designers, illustrators, web designers and artists to create illustrations, website mockups, icons, logos and many other digital and print products. Understanding Vector Graphics Vector graphics is the creation of digital images through a sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes in a given twodimensional or threedimensional space. Raster (Bitmap) vs Vector: There are two main type of image files: Raster and Vector. Raster images are generally more common and are found in formats such as jpg, gif, png, and are widely used on the web. Vector graphics are common for images that will be applied to a physical product (billboards, packaging, merchandise, etc). When using a raster program you paint an image; it's similar to dipping a brush in paint and painting. You can blend colors to soften the transition from one color to another. When using Adobe Illustrator you draw the outline of shapes: e.g. an eye shape, a nose shape, a lip shape. These shapes display one single color each. Bézier Curves: Based on the algorithms of mathematicians Karl Weierstrass, Sergei Natanovich Bernstein and Paul de Casteljau, engineer Pierre Bézier patented and popularized Bezier curves the mechanics behind the technology Adobe Illustrator uses to create scalable vector graphics.
