matrixMultiplication of imageData
Hi all- I know it's Sunday, but I urgently need some help with the matrixMultiply command. I have an image in RGB format whose data resides in imageData.

Re: Background
I must have missed something but how does one put buttons and fields in the background so that they appear on every card. I am coming from HyperCard where it was very easy. It still is easy, but it is different. Just group the objects that form a 'background'. Groups replace the HC background. You only have to turn the 'backgroundBehaviour' on in the props palette. This approach is much more flexible, because you can place multiple groups on one card. In the docs: Learning Revolution-For new developers-Experienced HC/SC developers section About... Revolution for HC developers paragraph Backgrounds and groups explains it all. Terry ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Controls of Stack
You are certainly welcome, Monte. I think translatability is relatively easy to achieve in Transcript, and yet a feature that would help differentiate Revolution apps from those created on other platforms. Certainly user translatability can't be attained using C or other platforms that require pre-runtime library/resource linking. I will make time available to assist anyone working on translatable RunRev apps. If you have any questions, a need to see the translation handlers in Serendipity Library.rev (which is password protected), or have any suggestions how I might improve my approach to translatability, please let me know. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.com/who.htm And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee. from The Triple Foole by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Controls of Stack
Hi All Does everyone know that repeat with x=1 to the number of controls of stack y only enumerates the controls on the current card? Bit of a bugger..eh? How does one parse all the controls of a stack ensuring that those in a background only get parsed once unless they are fields with the sharedText set to false... etc FYI... I'm trying to develop the basis for a language engine when it wasn't a requirement for the first version of the program. In the short term I want to generate a list of objects with visible text. Then I'll search scripts for ask and answer dialogs and any other hard coded text. When I have all that I'll create stack file with a custom property set that can be parsed to set everything for a particular language. Then I'll learn to translate to ... ;-) Cheers Monte It's been a long time, and the code is likely a plate of spaghetti, but the mcRipper stack I wrote does exactly this sort of parse all the controls loop: http://www.inspiredlogic.com/mc/ripper.html -- regards, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Printing a portion of a card
Hi All, I have a problem with printing the bottom portion of a card. It prints the correct bit of the card but I can't get it to start at the top left of the paper, it always prints down the page as if leaving room for the non-printed section of the card. Here is my setup: The card is 723 pixels wide x 560 high. The page setup is for A4 paper in landscape mode. This gives a printPaperSize of 841,595 (with the default printMargins) I want to print the card from 4,157 to 719,554. Here is the command I am using: print this card from 4,157 to 719,554 into 72,72,697,451 Surely this should make the printout start 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the left of the paper. It looks like it starts 1 inch from the left but about 3 inches from the top. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most grateful. I use Mac OS X 10.2.2, Rev 1.1.1 Thanks, Sarah P.S. In the docs, the into page rect is specified as being top, left, bottom, right. I assume this is an error and the standard L,T,R,B is still being used. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Development vs Standalone
Hi, I assume that I am doing something wrong. Will appreciate help. Using OS 10.2.2/rev 1.1.1r2(OSx)/Emac also OS 9.2.2/rev 1.1.1r2(OS)/PB G3 My project works OK in the development stage but when I do a Build, the standalone doesn't execute properly. The standalone opens with the Splash, etc but doesn't want to execute some custom btns both menu and other types on substacks. All my substacks appear in the Data folder of the standalone. It seems that some btn menus don't activate their applicable handlers in the Main stack when in Build but do so when in development. Selected build options are as follows: Basic .. Create folder for substacks, Mac OSX, auto download. Stacks .. Current stack file, copy default font and color, remove Rev UI ..., move substacks into indiv files, auto apply stackFiles info to mainStack Resources.. ask,answer,cursors, icon lib MacOS option .. only creatpr signature.

RE: Development vs Standalone
All my substacks appear in the Data folder of the standalone. This is the problem. You have three choices: - switch off the move substacks into the data folder option when you build (means you can't save data in them) - alter your design so you have a standalone splash screen that opens the mainstack. - alter your design so that code that you have placed in the mainstack but you wish to call from the substacks is moved into a library stack. (this is what I would do because you will probably find that you can create a generic library that you cna use in other apps).

Re: Photo Processor/Manager
1) GET RECT OF IMAGE IN ADVANCE: Can we get the rect of an image on disk, or the imagedata in variable before display? I can't find any imagedata properties as such. I need to retain the 2048 X 1536 pixel aspect ratio and data in the imagedata of high res images coming in off camera, but constrain that to a smaller size for display. So that the image will actually fit reasonably in a stack window area of about 4 X 5 inches maximum. Also one won't know in advance the orientation which could be vertical or horizontal. If we can get the rect before display we can then script the image object size accordingly, lock it and then assign the file ref to it before display. Of course I could display it first, get the rect and then do it... but the idea is to make this as fast as possible. You can use an offscreen image object that is invisible and whose lockLoc property is false. Import the image and then get its width and height... OR you can use an image object whose lockLoc property is TRUE, and then get the 'formattedWidth' and 'formattedHeight' of the image (which will return its original width and height).

Re: Development vs Standalone
Is the splash screen the main stack or do you have another stack which contains all the general handlers but which got bumped down the hierarchy when you inserted the splash stack? That's what happened to me once when using the splash screen approach. The solution was to have an extra line in your splash screen openStack handler: start using The stack with all my scripts When you do a build like this, my preference is to say No data folder as well as using Move substacks... If you do this, you will find your application folder includes the clickable app as well as a folder called My App.rev_components. I find this works better than creating a data folder which has this components folder as a sub-folder of it.

Extract ImageSource URL from a char in a field?
Is it possible to extract the file name of the image which was used to set the imageSource of a character in a field? eg. set the imagesource of char 1 of fld browser to (binfile: gCurrentFoldergCurrentImage) Works fine. I get the image in the field but later can we get the actual file reference out? I would like to some how extract from char 1 that it was /myhardDrive/photos/redFlower.jpg which now appears in the place of character 1 in the field. Possible? or has char 1 now become a simple pixel object embedded in the stack with no relation/record whatsoever of its source?
