It's not a huge peice of work; but I've been able to construct a triangular grid (for game development) using XUL.
http://clarkevans.com/triangular/demo.xul The approach uses three "stacked" tables together with a PNG image that contains an opaque isosceles triangle on an otherwise transparent background. 1. the first grid draws every-other triangle via a the PNG; half of the PNG image is transparent 2. the second grid has exactly the same dimentions as the first grid, only it is offset vertically by 50%; it draws the remaining triangles 3. the third grid is offset 25% both horizontally and vertically, with 1/2 the row/col width (giving 4x as many squares) This draws a triangular grid, and every-other square in the third (to-most) grid is a "clickable" region that uniquely identifies a given triangular area. The next version of this triangular grid will have drag & drop ability. Have Fun and Enjoy! Clark P.S. I'm now looking for some way to add drag & drop to this grid -- if you know how, could you please drop me a line? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ XUL News Wire - http://xulnews.com XUL Job Postings - http://xuljobs.com Open XUL Alliance - http://xulalliance.org _______________________________________________ xul-talk mailing list xul-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xul-talk
