Re: Set the fillGradient

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi All,

Years ago, Scott Rossi published this stack:
http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/gradient_explorer.rev.zip

Does Scott Rossi still sells a Palette to
work with gradients?

By the way, there a few different ways to paste
a gradient in another graphic.

For example:
1) paste a gradient of exact size
on the location of a new graphic.

2) paste a gradient of exact size
at a new angle on the location
of a new graphic.

3) paste a gradient proportionally
on the rectangle of a new graphic.

4) paste a gradient proportionally
at a new angle on the rectangle
of a new graphic.

Creating these handlers just require
basic math and the most scarce resource
of all: Time, quality time to devote to
this task. :)

Have a nice week!

Alejandro

My vote for that! Perhaps an enhancement request can be submitted?  These are 
the kind functions we really need for working the presentation layer, which is 
LC's weak area (IMHO).  CSS has this (absolute, relative positioning… If one is 
building scrolling groups where some area of the group is below the bottom of 
the card, you can of course script to placement relative to the card bottom, 
but it gets tricky, 

Being able to talk to the group child elements relative to 0,0 of the group 
would be "liberating" to say the least. My gut is also thinking… this one new 
property (s) could be be instrumental in the larger endeavor to make responsive 
programming in LC a bit more facile. (which is one main reason some think HTML5 
is better…because CSS just "does it all for you")

The other main area where object-local coordinates come up frequently is
with groups. It would be a real asset (IMHO) to be able to refer to the
position of object in a group relative to the topLeft of the group being
0,0. Of course, scripts/behaviors and getprop/setprop handlers can help
with this, but as with many thing, having it a true part of LiveCode -
as delivered - is often better than an add-on home grown solution.

At the moment it's just how it works.  Some of the elements for 
gradients use positioning, which is currently most commonly handled 
throughout LiveCode in coordinates local to the card.


This may be among the cases we come across now and then where it would 
be helpful if we had coordinates local to the object.


I don't believe we have any functions or other language elements that 
use object-local coordinates, but if we did what should those look like?


But as I think about that, even if we did have something like 
localToObjectLocal that would take at least as many lines of code to 
copy gradient data from one object to another as simply setting the loc 
and having the coords update themselves.


Hmmm

Re: Set the fillGradient ....

[Randy Hengst]

To make this work via script, I’ve done two things… the easiest is to set the 
grc that I want to change to the size and position of the a grc master with the 
fill gradient I want to match… in this example, the script is in the grc to be 
changed:

on mouseDown
   local tStartLoc
   put the loc of target into tStartLoc
   set the loc of target to the loc of grc "Blue MasterChip"
   set the fillGradient of target to the fillGradient of grc "Blue MasterChip"
   set the loc of target to tStartLoc
end mouseDown
