Drawing a straight line

2005-05-03 Thread Scott Slaugh
I have recently been converting some stacks from HyperCard into Revolution. In the process of putting the color back into the stacks, I have found that I need to be drawing straight lines with the pencil tool. However, as for as I know, there is no key that I can hold down such as shift to keep

Yes, well, seems the good folks at RunRev haven't put all the HyperCard goodies in yet. Or there is another bugzilla pilling up dust ;) There's the resizeN2O plugin i wrote that could do this easily with a few tweaks. http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=78 But it's u

It sounds like the objects could be snapping to the grid setting. There is a Grid Spacing (Pixels) preference (under appearance preferences in my version of RR) which affects this IIRC.

Hi Scott, The reason it's 'skipping pixels' is that you've got a grid preference setting other than 1. Check your prefs. -Chipp Scott Slaugh wrote: I can't use the line tool (or rectangle tool for that matter) because they both seem to almost skip pixels. I'll try to drag a rectangle or draw a l
