Hi,
REALbasic 2006r2
Mac OS X 10.4.6
I wanted to adapt the Graphics example to create a triangle to use the
Split Function (see below) and "I've got troubles"...
Here's the example from the Language Reference:
Dim Points(6) as Integer
Points(1)=10 //X of Point 1
Points(2)=10 //Y of Point 1
Points(3)=75 //X of Point 2
Points(4)=30 //Y of Point 2
Points(5)=10 //X of Point 3
Points(6)=125 //Y of Point 3
g.ForeColor= RGB(100,200,255)
g.FillPolygon Points
and here's my attempt to modify it:
Dim TriangleOne As Variant // To use the automatic type conversion
Dim TriOne(5) As Integer // 6 entries array
// Fills the Variant with a "String variable"
TriangleOne = "5,5,25,5,15,25"
// Fills the Array
// Test #1 (fails)
TriOne = TriangleOne.Split(",")
// Test #2 (fails too)
TriOne = Split(TriangleOne,",")
I've got the same error message:
"Error: Type mismatch error. Expected Int32(), but got String()."
Note: this is only a style trouble.
The idea was to write:
Dim Points(6) As Integer
PointsList = "5,5,25,5,15,25"
Points.Split(PointsList,",")
g.ForeColor = RGB(100,200,255)
g.FillPolygon Points
The code is more sexy than the original one, isn't it ?
BTW: Why dim the array using 6 cells ? Also, why filling it starting at
cell 1 ?
[at last, I am asking myself why it works...]
[after a simple test]: I can't believe it... it does not works when I
dim the array at 5 and fill the cells from 0 to 5... Incredible!
I don't understand :(
Emile
