Well, partly this is lack of clarity on my part, and partly, no, a point is not a vector. A point is a point. I was trying to use the term 'vector chain' to refer to a single figure, if you will, or connected series of figures, drawn on the button by vector means. I should probably more correctly have used the term polyline (and in fact, Polyline would be a more accurate term for fvwm to use than Vector). The style below, with 45 points, properly contains 44 vectors forming a single polyline. What I was trying to ask was whether I could have a button on which two separate polylines were drawn, since at the time I was under the impression that a polyline in a Vector style specification could not include more than 16 points. In that case, if one wanted a button design containing more than 16 points, it would be necessary to use multiple vector chain specifications. Mikhael (I think) subsequently pointed out that multiple styles can be added to a button using AddButtonStyle. However, since button style polylines in fvwm-2.5 can contain up to 10000 points, I don't anticipate ever needing to do so, as that's sufficient points to draw a line in each possible vector color from every pixel on the button to every other pixel on the button. :) > > # Send-to-page button > > ButtonStyle 3 Vector 45 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ > > -- Raised > > > This appears to be 5x9-1==45-1==44 vectors. Correct, in a single polyline. -- .********* Fight Back!
