Re: revlets, browsers, OSs and image formats
[the template seems a bit darker:] [The white point looks different.] Note about the RGB values in Rev images Do the following: go to a Rev card with an image choose pointer tool right click on the image and do 'launch editor' --in my case it is Photoshop then inspect the exact RGB of each pixel You will find each of these has a small offset such that the image in Rev is slightly darker. This is a bummer when trying to edit images that overlay or surround in Rev. I did not resolve how to compensate for this when I was working with an image project 2 years ago. Hope this helps.

Standalone ( revlet) not working: internet LIB missing?

I tried also to build a revlet -- the plugin insists on bad revlet ;- So, I wonder if the standalone needs more resources, such as an internet lib, since it has to connect on the internet to get the forecast data...

In short, something is not working correctly with the QT external and flipping a video so that it appears mirrored on 30 inch displays. Under certain conditions the video mirrored.

Re: Tab Button question
The docs seem to fully explain the situation, in the Dictionary, under the entry for menuPick it says: (However, no menuPick message is sent when an already-chosen tab in a tabbed button is clicked, since no menu is displayed.) Might not be how you want it to behave, but it's clearly documented that that's the way it is. Seems reasonable to me, FireFox, Safari and tRev don't seem to do anything when I select the already active tab again. In my stacks that use tabs I appreciate not wasting cycles on something that has already been done. On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 7:36 AM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: I make a tab button and click on a tab.

Re: Scaling Groups?
Scott, I have no code for you, only a thought on the easiest way I could imagine: - calculate orig width / new width ratio of the meta group - calculate orig height / new height ratio of the meta group - I would scale the individual objects' height and width using the ratios above - I would scale the locations of each object with the same ratios - I would then place the new resized objects at their new locations But you probably know all that. I was fun to type it out, tho.

Re: Scaling Groups?
Thanks to all who replied about my scaling groups question. As it turns out, I was able to come up with a solution in about a tenth of the time I thought it would take (and I was dreading it). The biggest issue for me is Rev¹s reliance on integers for object positioning -- this is a serious limitation when it comes to scaling because object dimensions can get heavily distorted when the objects are repeatedly scaled. I needed a way to keep object dimensions from getting too messed up if the user wants to size a group up and down repeatedly. The only way I know how to do this is to store the original dimensions and refer to those whenever an object is scaled. The following code does this, called from a scrollbar whose start/end values are 50 and 200 (equates to 50% and 200%). Objects are initialized with their ³starting² specs, and since those specs are always used in the code, scaling is as distortion-free as possible: on scrollbarDrag pValue scaleGroup long id of grp ³my great group²,pValue end scrollbarDrag on scaleGroup pGroup,pValue initObjSpecs pGroup put pValue/100 into tPercent put loc of pGroup into masterLoc lock screen set width of pGroup to the uDefaultWidth of pGroup * tPercent set height of pGroup to the uDefaultHeight of pGroup * tPercent set loc of pGroup to masterLoc repeat with N = 1 to number of controls of pGroup put long id of control N of pGroup into tObj set width of tObj to (item 1 of the uOrigDimensions of tObj * tPercent) set height of tObj to (item 2 of the uOrigDimensions of tObj * tPercent) put item 1 of masterLoc - (item 1 of the uOrigOffset of tObj * tPercent) into X put item 2 of masterLoc - (item 2 of the uOrigOffset of tObj * tPercent) into Y set loc of tObj to X,Y end repeat set loc of pGroup to masterLoc unlock screen end scaleGroup on initObjSpecs pGroup put loc of pGroup into masterLoc if the uDefaultWidth of pGroup = then set the uDefaultWidth of pGroup to width of pGroup if the uDefaultHeight of pGroup = then set the uDefaultHeight of pGroup to height of pGroup put the number of controls of pGroup into objCount repeat with N = 1 to objCount put long id of control N of pGroup into tObj if the uOrigOffset of tObj and the uOrigDimensions of tObj then next repeat put loc of tObj into objLoc set the uOrigOffset of tObj to item 1 of masterLoc - item 1 of objLoc,item 2 of masterLoc - item 2 of objLoc set the uOrigDimensions of tObj to width of tObj,height of tObj end repeat end initObjSpecs Maybe other folks will find this useful.

Printing a player image in XP
I need to display TIFFs and QuickTime is the only way I know to do that in Rev. So, I make sure XP has QT installed and then I use the Player object. Everything displays fine. When I print in XP, though, i get mush. The Players are just a grey box (everything else on the page prints fine.) I also tried Printing to PDF to see if that helped but no dice. It works fine in OSX so the approach appears to be sound. I did consider a workaround of 'export snapshot as PNG' and then putting that image in front of the Player. However, the QT approach is already a little pokey and so I'd like to find a better solution. (It also might snapshot the print dialogue unless it supports off-screen shots!)
