Hi Carl,
The attached demo illustrates a way to do this. This approach does not
require any changes to the target script at all. (unlike the do-thru/args
method I use on my rebsite).
rather than doing this
view do %script.r which gives the behaviour you describe.
use my 'do-get-face function. It does the script and returns the face
(prevents it from showing)
so you can do things like this (just some ideas)
view/new do-get-face %script.r
or
append main-face/pane do-get-face %script.r
show main-face
or
script-face: do-get-face %script.r
script-face/color: red
view/new script-face
etc..
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Allen K
ps: Just do the .rip file to extract the demo. Then do %get-face.r
get-face.rip
