Create a new stack, drop a button onto it, and set its script to: ## ... ## Then click the button, and you'll get a graphic named "Peter" in the specified rectangle, with the two colors each taking up half of the height of the graphic, even when you resize it.

As usual, a very useful learning tool. Here's what I can't figure out though. Your stack fades in the colors from top to bottom. How can I get the graphic to contain two separate colors, one that fills the top half of the graphic and another that fills in the bottom half, with no fading just a clean horizontal break between them. Maybe gradients are not the way to do this, although Bern'ds table stack uses them for the graphic involved in coloring alternate lines - I just can't figure out all the values for the different gradient array keys.
