The original post needed to get the points of an oval in order to use
them as a path for animating an object with the "move" command. It's
likely the oval itself wouldn't even be displayed. Right now, ovals
don't have the points property, so you need to use a polygon, and thus,
the attempts to contruct one that appeared to be oval.
Soon ovals will have a points property, and these awkward attempts to
reproduce them with polygons will no longer be necessary.
...and actually, if you calculate the points and store them in a
variable you don't even need a visible graphic. Just iterate through
the lines of the variable, setting the loc of the <whatever> to each
line as you go.
And even more actually, you don't need to iterate. The "move" command
accepts a point list all by itself. :)
What you did is going to be hugely convenient. It's funny, I never
needed to get the points of a standard graphic object before, but right
after Richmond posted this thread I suddenly found a situation where I
could have used it. Talk about timing.
