Why does the form editor show a zero value for one side of a line? That is:
1) a horizontal line shows a non-zero width, but zero for its height; and 2) a vertical line shows a non-zero height, but zero for its width. In other words, one dimension is always zero: zero height for horizontal lines, zero width for vertical lines. Moreover, if you increase the visual thickness of the line, the zero value remains. That is, the zero value is always reported (in "Coordinates and Sizing") irregardless of the width value selected in "Background and Border". Take for example a vertical line. The form editor (in "Coordinates and Sizing") shows a non-zero value for the vertical line's height (which is expected.) But the line's width shows zero (which seems unexpected.) When I increase the visual thickness of the line in "Background and Border" from hairline to 20 points (which is a thick line), the zero width value in "Coordinates and Sizing" remains. Why is something that visually has both width and height have one dimension reported as zero in "Coordinates and Sizing”, and also by the "OBJECT GET COORDINATES" command? ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
