Hi, a "regular polygon" is not a "polygon" which is confusing.
a "polygon" is the type of graphic made of points whereas a "regular polygon" has no points and are IIRC drawn by the operating system, that is why they are smooth. Mark Wieder introduced the "effective points" of any of "rectangle, oval, roundRect, regular" graphics. set the points of grc "myRegularPolygon" to the effective points of grc "myRegularPolygon" now you have to change the style of the graphic to "polygon" and it uses the points. If the graphic is not "closed", i.e. the last point is missing then toggle "opaque" (if on unselect it and reselect it, if off select opaque) this will close the polygon i.e. it is a full rectangle consisting of 5 points. The opaque on/off trick also works for polygon graphics you draw in the ide. If set to opaque it will supply the last point to close the polygon, that point sticks even if turn opaque off again. The artifacts regarding "Reshape Graphic" seem to be a regression of the 8.1.2 and up series. In 8.1.1 Stable no artifacts. http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18911 In the 8.1.2 series if you want to get rid of the artifacts choose "Reshape Graphic" and unselect the graphic. You can now reshape the graphic without artifacts. It seems that the selection handles are causing the artifacts. a script to turn rectangle, oval, roundRect and regular graphics into polygons is here ------------------------------------- on mouseUp put the id of grc 1 into tID -- put the id of grc "nameOfGraphic" into tID -- if you use name if the style of grc id tID is among the items of "rectangle,oval,roundRect,regular" then put the effective points of grc id tID into tEP set the points of grc id tID to tEP set the style of grc id tID to "polygon" -- close the polygon put the opaque of grc id tID into tOpaque set the opaque of grc id tID to not the opaque of grc id tID set the opaque of grc id tID to not the opaque of grc id tID set the opaque of grc id tID to tOpaque end if end mouseUp -------------------------------- Kind regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Draw-an-adjustable-Trapezoid-in-Livecode-How-to-change-x-y-of-the-4-corner-points-of-a-rect-tp4710565p4710593.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
