Magnification

2017-03-24 Thread Vokey, John via use-livecode
I am working on a stack that has reduced images on a card, but I want the user to have the ability to magnify those images (at least the part they are hovering over) as they hover over them. But, not the card images, but the real higher resolution images stored in separate files. I suspect the

Random topic: What script font do you like/use?

2016-09-21 Thread Vokey, John
I use SourceCodePro in all my programming IDEs (LiveCode, R, Matlab, Octave, ...). It is a very clean monospaced font, and comes in a wide variety of weights. > On Sep 21, 2016, at 3:33 AM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > > Message: 7 > Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 18:31:29 -0700 > Fr

Re: LiveCode with unusual input devices

Craig. This looks to be quite useful, but as I don’t read German, it is hard to tell. I have some very unusual USB devices that I would love to use with LC on my mac. Currently, I am stuck with the manufacture’s proprietary software. How does Service USB Plus detect the usb devices? Does i

Shuffling is more complicated than commonly thought. A properly uniform shuffle is given as follows: function scramble x -- scramble lines or items in a row put the number of lines of x into z if z = 1 then put the number of items of x into n else put the number of lines of x into n repe

bluetooth and LC

All, I am completely naive on this, but as I am getting a new portable EEG device for my lab that communicates by bluetooth, I thought I would ask whether any of the many genius coders on this list know how to read the raw data from a bluetooth device from LiveCard? The machine comes with sof

2012-02-23 Thread Vokey, John
I always enjoyed the ambiguity of the title of one of James Watson's books: "Avoid Boring People" as to why "natural" languages should be avoided in programming, not because they are inherently bad, but because they require setting too large of a context to render most statements clear. OTH, I

MetaCard IDE and groups

I have a baffling condition. Over the many years I have used MetaCard in my lab (and, yes, I still use that IDE), the one reliable object was the group. Group a bunch of objects and you can cut and paste and reuse them as a group everywhere. The key feature with a group is that it acts like o

RE: Reading PDF - a cry for help

2011-09-30 Thread Vokey, John
The problem (success?) with pdf is that it is, uniquely, pdf: it is text, stylized text, bitmaps, vector graphics, and everything else. Covert eps, for example, to pdf and all is fine (you can easily extract the eps from the pdf). Add a second pdf (or another eps) to that same file, and the ep
