Hi List I've been reading the list heaps and finding out almost all that I need to know at this stage but I have one big problem. I am developing a stack that needs to redraw an ellipse and a circular arc that intersects with the ellipse at two points. I thought that the oval graphic was the best tool for the job but how do I find the intersection points. The rect of the arc is set and the user sets the rect of the ellipse. I really only need to know the x coordinates so I can calculate the arcAngle and the startAngle of the arc. My understanding is that an oval has no real mathematical definition so is the oval tool actually an ellipse? If so can I obtain the submajor and subminor axes of that ellipse? My other big question was why when we build a standalone there is no facility to set icons for that standalone other than 0(standalone builder custom prop mcappicon). I am planning to modify the standalone builder so that i can set an icon for a custom file type as icon 1(standalone builder custom prop mcdocicon). Is this modification a breach of license or anything? It would be really good If in future versions of MetaCard the engine had a couple more dummy icons in icon 2 & 3 so we could play with these too.
