Last installment in my troubles with the display in OS X.
Following suggestions from Jacqueline, I have compared four basic
methods of moving a RunRev control smoothly through a sequence of
points--with mixed results.
What follows are four scripts, all of which do the same, very simple
thing:

The only one of the four which works for me is Set the loc. My only
problem is the fact that it is so much slower in OS X than OS 9 or Windows.

Bear with me on this one. I need to know whether my problem with OS X
lies in my computer graphics card or with RR.
If the problem is with my computer, I can deal with it, but if the
problem lies with the implementation of RR in OS X, I have problem.

I don't know whether it's RR or OS X, but I can confirm the behavior.
It doesn't change even if I set my display to thousands rather than
millions of colors.

In OS X I get a discrete sequence of 4 numbers displayed. This is the

X (but not in OS 9.)

One other question James: are the OS9 and OSX systems you're comparing
running on the same box or different boxes? Because another issue you *may*
be running into *might*

P. S. to my earlier message.
I found that I can speed this program considerably by eliminating all
Lock and Unlock Screens. They are not really necessary in this
example.
A better example is:

In this example
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Just a theory: try replacing the wait command with unlock screen.
See what that does for you.

Hi James,

Hi James,

Thanks to all who responded with advice. Right now I don't see a
solution.
I am aware that the components of the location are integers. But in

RR will truncate the components of theXYCoordinates and set the loc of

Klaus and Ken,
I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. I was hoping to avoid unnecessary detail.
The reason I can't make use of your suggestions, all of which are
excellent and appropriate to the specific handler I presented, is
that my problems apply to a set of generic handlers I use in an

Sorry, Jim... now that you've explained the situation, I understand why our
suggestions won't work for you.
Sorry to be so long winded.
You can not set the loc of an object
or the rect of an object or, anything that uses integers (ie pixels)
with floats, Its just bad news.
put .1 into dx ---you have floating point numbers in

put .1 into dy ---you have floating point numbers in

Works well
Hi James,
I am running RR 2.2.1 and OS X 2.3 on a PowerBook G4
I suspect it´s one of the first Powerbooks G4 (am I right?)
The problem in this case is the built in graphics card and the way Os X
deals with displaying graphics. I´ve seen this with libRMC moved
