Im trying to integrate a twitter post into my Powerpoint/keynote presentation and I cant, I want to find a better way than just a screenshot, which would mean having to photoshop off the edges and put a drop shadow to look good (last part not so important). any help?

Is there a Windows server with Photoshop running that process all these templates? It just happens too quickly. How did they achieve that?
I've been looking for the answer for quite a long time and didn't find anything worthy.
A way something like this would be done would be to have an overlay template that you'd place your image under and then all of the shading and such would would go on top of it. Then it's just a mater of rotating and skewing the angle of the picture underneath the overlay to get the right perspective. This can be done programmatically in a language of your choice like PHP, Python, C#, etc.
I believe what you're describing may be achieved using the Adobe Photoshop API. Click on try demo and take a look at the various options, including the Smart Object demo.
I'd like to use a more sophisticated graphics or GUI widget library in my Hammerspoon config file, in order to get user input and do more advanced drawing on the screen than Hammerspoon allows (as far as I can tell) by default. I'm new to Lua and Hammerspoon, and so far I've been unable to figure out how to get this working. (Simple drawing on-screen is not a problem, so examples of geometric shapes are not helpful. I can do that already with no difficulty.)
I initially thought one of the Lua libraries designed for building games would have more than I could possibly need, and looked into love2d, but it did not appear to be possible to use with Hammerspoon in any straightforward manner.
To give two concrete examples of things I'd like to do:
I'd like to display a dialog box in which the user can enter two values, to specify how many rows and how many columns they want in their screen grid. A native Cocoa dialog would be better, but something graphically drawn on screen with Lua would be fine, as long as the details of the image are abstracted away for me, and I can just define the text and fields and buttons in the dialog.
I'd like to draw a dotted-line rectangle with curved corners and a shadow around specified grid segments as a preview of where a window would be moved if the user completed a certain command.
There's a lot more, but anything that allows me to do those things should allow me to do anything else I want.
We don't yet have a good answer to generating dialog boxes, although it is possible to do it with AppleScript, which you can call from Hammerspoon with hs.osascript.
As for drawing things like dotted-line rectangles, we can't currently do that, but if you'd like to file an issue on our GitHub project, it's something we can look at for a future release :)
I've received a design for a new feature and would like tome tips or advice on where to begin for implementing this functionality.
Ideally there is also one for audio input that has to change in regards to the audio input sensitivity. So ideally this graph would need to animate in real time. I've looked that this post which seems somewhat helpful:
Draw segments from a circle or donut
But would like some feedback or tips/ ideas to see if there is a better way to achieve this.
In my App I need to draw graph data with different datamodels that frequently change and can not be generalized. This graph data must be editable with a slider or a segmented control.
The idea is to load all necessary data to draw the graph from the server. Is html5 the right solution? Can the iPad-UI-Controlls used to manipulate the graph?
Where do I start and how much work is it?
Currently I'm using Core Plot to draw the graph - but I need to model my graph data on the server.
Option 1: If you are developing for Android as well or you are better at javascript, then you can use HTML5.0. Have a look at http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/charts/
Option 2: If you want to develop it natively for iPad(which I feel is a better option), then please look at google library for graph http://code.google.com/p/core-plot/ and Is there a good charting library for iPhone?
I extended the work of this gentleman:
http://buildmobile.com/creating-a-graph-with-quartz-2d/#fbid=EKAB22zV7It
And I'm quite pleased with the results. It took me about a week to get my graph able to draw a stock chart with scrolling, pinching zooming, 3 different symbol indicators, a secondary plot line, tap-able data points with a little custom popover showing details, and a few annotations. Not bad considering the overall complexity, and largely thanks to the detailed walkthrough.
He also talks about why he didn't use Core Plot.
Good luck,

I'm looking at implementing a Facebook-style thumbnail creator using ASP.Net MVC but haven't a clue where to start.
The feature in question is most easily-recognised when you upload a new profile picture. After uploading the image, you are presented with a frame that you can drag around the image to select the area that will appear as your FB profile thumbnail (for your wall, etc).
I'm picking I'd want to use the jQuery UI framework and take advantage of the Draggable feature, but how do I get the coordinates from the chosen position and how do I pass those to .Net to then use as the basis for creating the thumbnail? Not having much experience at all with image manipulation in .Net (or any other language for that matter), I'm hoping someone will be able to point me to good code samples, tutorials or other general suggestions on how I can achieve what I'm after.
