Re: Equilateral Triangles
would this help at all? create a regular polygon with 3 sides… then in the script of that graphic: on mouseDown repeat while the mouse is down local tStartLoc put the loc of target into tStartLoc set the angle of target to (the angle of target + 15) set the loc of target to tStartLoc end repeat end mouseDown be well, randy Randy Hengst www.classroomFocusedSoftware.com > On Jun 15, 2015, at 3:17 PM, Richmond wrote: > > I am importing equilateral triangle images, which are, obviously, contained > in square PNG image files. > > When I either ROTATE or SET THE ANGLE of these images by 120 degrees they > rotate, but the also jump around the screen because > there is NO way one can centre an equilateral triangle in a square. > > Of course . . . if there was a way to readily import Vector images into > LiveCode . . . > > And before you say it: converting the PNG images using 'convert' in Linux to > make EPS files yields files, that while being > openable in InkScape cannot be imported by Alejandro El Tejada's stacks. > > Richmond. > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

If the triangle is offset on purpose, and the intent is to *not* rotate about its center, then I'd go back to either of my two suggestions. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

He mentioned that his images are square. That is, the triangle is perhaps aligned with the top of the square. So, the center to the triangle is not at the center of the square. > On Jun 15, 2015, at 7:17 PM, Geoff Canyon wrote: > > Wait -- why are you rotating by 120?

Re: Equilateral Triangles
Wait -- why are you rotating by 120? That's 1/3 of a revolution, i.e. the triangle should look identical to an unrotated one. Are they specially colored or something? In any case, I'd either: 1. Create rotated images externally, and sub them in rather than actually rotate. 2. Do the rotation while developing, figure out the pixel offset to make it right, and then do both at runtime with the screen locked. gc ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Equilateral Triangles
I am importing equilateral triangle images, which are, obviously, contained in square PNG image files. When I either ROTATE or SET THE ANGLE of these images by 120 degrees they rotate, but the also jump around the screen because there is NO way one can centre an equilateral triangle in a square. Of course . . . if there was a way to readily import Vector images into LiveCode . . . And before you say it: converting the PNG images using 'convert' in Linux to make EPS files yields files, that while being openable in InkScape cannot be imported by Alejandro El Tejada's stacks.

Or am I overseeing something obviously? Tiemo, On OS X looking for a stackfile relative to the location of the .app bundle will look inside the .app bundle, as you have seen. But if you don’t try to find a stackfile relative to the .app, it will look first in the folder that contains the .app bundle. I think you can work around your problem by including this in the preOpenStack or openStack handler of the splash stack/app: if the environment is “development” then go stack item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack & slash & “mainStack.rev" else go stack “mainStack.rev” end if Why? Because once the stack is made into a standalone the defaultFolder becomes the folder containing the .app bundle. It should therefore work in both the Mac and Windows environments. I hope I understood your problem correctly.

open stack finds stack in wrong path!?
Hello, LC 6.5.2, OS X 10.9. I have a splash stack and a main stack. The mainStack is located at the regular place on the same level as the executable within the app bundle. Because this software runs directly from CD and there also is a windows version on the CD, there is a copy of the mainStack on the same level, as the app bundle in the root of the CD, which is used from the windows exe. On OS X I open the main stack with: open stack (item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack & slash & "mainStack.rev"). The splash stack opens correctly the mainStack in its bundle, only as far there is no copy of the mainStack on bundle level. But as soon there is a copy of the mainStack in the bundle directory (for windows use), the OS X program ignores my given path within the bundle and opens the mainStack from the bundle level, which I don't want to be used on OS X. Is there any secret hierarchy for looking for stackfiles and ignoring given paths? Or am I overseeing something obviously?

Dear List Members, We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 6.7.6 RC 1 and 7.0.6 RC 1. This release is a maintenance release which contains bug fixes for both versions. The list of bugs fixed can be found in the Release Notes. * /dontuseqt/ is now a Player property as well * It is now possible to have a player running without QuickTime at the same time that another player, using QuickTime, is playing. You can have a look at the updated documentation for dontuseqt, and in the Release Note 'Engine changes' section, for more information. *Getting the Release* To get the release please select "check for updates" from the "help" menu in the product or download the installer directly at: http://downloads.livecode.com *6.7.6 RC 2 / 7.0.6 RC 2 * The following RC release is planned to happen in a short time, and will fix regressions introduced by the bug fixes added in the RC 1 release.
