Re: Making data plots

I generally use a utility command, something like: on forceNControls pID,N put max(2,N + 1) into M repeat (the number of controls of pID) - M + 1 delete control M of pID end repeat set the vis of control 1 of pID to (N > 0) repeat with i = (the number of controls of pID) to N - 1

Re: Orientation Support Mobile

Well, for starters: 1) You can't seem to force LC to render a card in one orientation or the other and then understand what you're forcing it to do. There doesn't seem to be a command to do it. MobileSetAllowedOrientations doesn't help. So if you support P and L, but certain cards are one way an

Re: preOpenStack

It actually is a bit counterintuitive that a card can receive a preOpenStack message. After all, the whole (ostensible) idea is that "preOpenstack" is sent before the stack opens, so how could there even be a card to send that message to. It is all mainly a matter of drawing, though, not what
