Hi Stephen, I used the Revolution Geometry manager a long time ago, and when I saw all my objects doing crazy things, I stopped to use it.
NativeSpeak has a "strict geometry manager", for cross-platform rendering and to make objects to fit their content without breaking the GUI. (French sentences are a bit longer than english :) ) BTW, I understand that not all developper requires the complete NativeSpeak tool, (Localization + Geometry), and that's why for NativeSpeak 2.0 (that is in development) the geometry manager will be available separatly. More info about NativeSpeak and its Geometry manager: http://www.dam-pro.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=113 Kind Regards, Damien Girard Dam-pro, France. Note about NativeSpeak 2.0: For all NativeSpeak 1.x owners, the update to NativeSpeak 2.0 will be free. > Message du 14/09/09 00:21 > De : "stephen barncard" > A : "How to use Revolution" > Copie à : > Objet : The $%$#%#$%# Rev Geometry > > > Ok I've been a Rev user since 2001, and many times I've tried to use the > geometry manager and it will work for a while, then BLAM, add or change > something (like add a new card) , then everything to the right gets wider - > a major mess.
