John: Looks like we are working on similar project. I haven't had any trouble with my snapshot routine in LC 6.6. It's below. I'm on Mac OSX, regular (not retina) display.
on copyMapToSnap put the name of me into thisImage wait for 0 seconds with messages set the visible of thisImage to FALSE put the rect of this stack into stackRect put rectLeft(stackRect)&","&rectTop(stackRect) into theOffset --this is the point at the topleft of the stack window put the rect of graphic "MapBox" into theRect --This is relative to the stack put offsetRect(theRect,theOffset) into snapRect--offset the capture rect to absolute screen coordinates put adjustSizeOfRect(snapRect,1,1,-1,-1) into snapRect --remove border of grahics box wait for 0.1 seconds with messages export snapshot from rect snapRect to image "mapSnap" put adjustSizeOfRect(theRect,1,1,-1,-1) into snapRect --theRect is relative to the stack set the rect of image "mapSnap" to snapRect --now set the captured rect to the mapbox rect wait for 0 seconds with messages set the visible of image thisImage to TRUE end copyMapToSnap Good luck, Bill proth...@earthednet.org http://es.earthednet.org On Mar 22, 2014, at 6:20 PM, John Dixon wrote: > I have been using the following in LC 6.5.2 to take a snapshot of an area of > a map, hiding the map and replacing it with the snapshot... > > set the margins of the templateImage to 0 > import snapshot from rect (0,40, the width of card "map", the height of card > "map" -40 ) > set the name of the last image of card "map" to "mapic" > > LC 6.6 does not like this at all !... it makes the snapshot about a quarter > of the size in width but it seems to squash it a little in the vertical too... > > I have tried the new snapshot syntax with at size, but can't get it to play... > > Anyone found out how to take a snapshot in LC 6.6 yet ? > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
