Edward Ditor: The OpenCard experience
(...) it is a nice program, fast and very thought out, but it is
unacceptable that for the simplest button shapes like ovals or roundrects I
have to create a region button and assign it the shape. Even the program
called HyperCard from which they claim inheritance had this feature! (...)
-- end of imagined snip --
And something more: The routines for handling rounded rects and ovals in
MacOS and Windows are optimized for speed. We'll get a penalty with
arbitrarily shaped buttons since they have to be very generic. Thus, I'd
suggest in the interest of future speed benchmarks we support oval and
roundrect. End of speech.
Cheers,
