For those of you who are interested in graphics, I DO suggest you try Monte's custom paint tool for simply drawing squiggly lines with the mouse. In terms of coding, and since Monte has proved to us all that he is quite good at this kind of thing, I think that this routine is probably about as efficient as it can be. Yet on my Pentium II (Windows ME), the result is not very good, certainly not as good as it would be in VB. The mouse draws a broken rather than continuous line, even when you move it slowly.
So contradict me if I am wrong: The development of a procedure for direct access to the image's pixel data (rather than having instructions like 'put the imageData of image "bmw.bmp" into iData, set the imageData of image "bmw.bmp" to iData', etc.) would probably help a lot. But as I said, it would take a real bright spark (someone with internal knowledge of the Transcript engine) to come up with such a solution. However, they did it in VB... ARE THERE ANY GEEKS OUT THERE? When the RunRev team get their heads above water, I would also like to know what they think about this issue. Here's Monte's routine again: -Button script on mouseUp InitialiseImageData InitialisePaintColor end mouseUp -Card script local lImageData,lPaintColor,lMouseDown on InitialiseImageData put the imageData of image 1 into lImageData end InitialiseImageData on InitialisePaintColor put binaryEncode("CCCC",0,0,255,0) into lPaintColor end InitialisePaintColor on mouseMove x,y if lMouseDown then if word 1 of the target is "image" then set the lockCursor to true set the cursor to cross put (x-the left of image 1)*4+(y- the top of image 1)*(the width of image 1*4) into x put lPaintColor into char x-3 to x of lImageData set the imageData of image 1 to lImageData end if else pass mouseMove end if end mouseMove on mouseDown put true into lMouseDown end mouseDown on mouseUp put false into lMouseDown end mouseUp on mouseRelease put false into lMouseDown end mouseRelease _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
