Re: Max number of colors on a gradient

I don’t know what colorspace LiveCode uses, but for gradients there are only 256 levels in 24 bit color. If you’re seeing 1024 gradients elsewhere, that’s 30 bit color, which is not common. There is dithering to try to make less levels look like more levels.

Max number of colors on a gradient

Hi All, I was testing the practical limitations of svg and LiveCode graphics and noticed that a svg with 1024 gradients displayed fine in the browser, but shows a lot of banding, moire and noise within LiveCode. Very similar to this image:

Re: Perspective Distortion of an image (was: Type on an angle)

That is quite nice, and I think a great example of what LC can do simply on an algorithmic level without requesting a new feature or set of commands or external. Almost everything can be worked around or solved, if real time performance is not a requirement. Bob S On Nov 21, 2016, at 10:39 ,

And if your target is a static, image "in perspective" speed is not an issue.. This can be a production tool. then cut and paste. Yes, marvelous! BR On 11/20/16, 3:54 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Scott Rossi"

Re: Macintosh support

"nothing is stopping you from developing with LC versions prior to 9" indeed: I'm refactoring, recoding, rejigging and generally have a "fun time" moving my Devawriter Pro from LiveCode 4.5 (which is seriously long in the tooth) to 8.1.1 and, as long as I can get the thing to work on Windows

Re: GUI Design Tasks Send Back - Bring Forward

If anyone particularly wants this feature, it would make a nice and fairly easy community contribution as it only requires changes in the 'revMenuBar' script only stack. You would just have to add the appropriate menu items in revMenuBarObjectContextMenu (probably using the pSelectable parameter

Re: Macintosh support

Honestly though, nothing is stopping you from developing with LC versions prior to 9. If you use script only stacks for your code libraries, it should be fairly easy to conditionally branch for any new features you might want to make available which older versions do not support. And if you

Re: Bundling an External into a Windows EXE?

That's one thing I miss from SuperCard: externals were embedded within the executable so we could deliver truly stand-alone standalones. I'm not necessarily advocating that LC do the same, but for those of us whose projects benefit from single-file deliverables it may make for a useful

Re: Bundling an External into a Windows EXE?

I'm going to venture to say no. The whole point to having a dynamic linked library is to have it be external to the application, so that any updates to the dll can be accomplished without completely recompiling the exe. Also, they are designed to be used as shared libraries for other apps

Re: iTunes Connect rejection

Hi Andrew, Recompiled the same LiveCode file using 8.1.1 and Xcode 8 (I know store multiple versions of Xcode and Android tools on an external hard drive) and submitted to Apple as usual; though I did need to bump up the build number since there was already an existing binary with that value.

iTunes Connect rejection

Upgraded to 8.1.2rc2 and Xcode 8.1 (Mac 10.11.5) and compiled a build to update an existing app. Submitted build got pre-rejected with the following immediate response email from Apple: quote Dear developer, We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "Indiana On Tap".
