Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

Do you know which system-wide shortcuts OS X traps? Cmd-H is the one I found (Hide Apps) and Cmd-Q (for which there is a LC solution). I'm wondering which other ones we might get stung on. Are you aware of a list of these traps? On Sat, Nov 7, 2015 at 10:54 AM, J. Landman Gay

It looks like this could translate to LC if you have the point locations of your polygon: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/area-irregular-polygons.html Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 11/7/15, 2:01 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Roger Guay"

Yes this is the expected behaviour. Export snapshot from rect is not be able to take a snapshot of something "off-screen” because it’s not rendered by the display. Export snapshot from rect uses the device's display output to render the image, but if you use Export snapshot of an object

Re: Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

OS X traps and responds to its own system-wide shortcuts and does not pass them on to the app, so LC won't know about those. But Cmd-Q behaves slightly differently. OS X does notify the app so it can put up save dialogs or do other housekeeping. If Cmd-Q isn't working, then there is probably

Re: Area of Irregular Polygon

Roger, try this (I've done some minimal testing, so do please check it ...) it assumes the polygon is closed function getArea pPts if line 1 of pPts <> line -1 of pPts then return 0 put 0 into tArea put empty into oldL repeat for each line L in pPts if oldL is not empty then

Re: Area of Irregular Polygon

Actually, you should shorten the maths - makes it a bit more efficient function getArea pPts if line 1 of pPts <> line -1 of pPts then return 0 put 0 into tArea put empty into oldL repeat for each line L in pPts if oldL is not empty then -- put item 1 of L -

Re: Area of Irregular Polygon

You could speed it up a bit more and simplify a bit like so: put line 1 of pPts into oldL repeat for each line L in line 2 to -1 of pPts add (item 1 of L - item 1 of oldL) * ( item 2 of oldL + item 2 of L) / 2 to tArea put L into oldL end repeat On Sat, Nov

Important to note that this method of calculating the area of a polygon will fail if the polygon crosses itself. As long as the polygon is simple, it works. On Sat, Nov 7, 2015 at 8:30 PM, Roger Guay wrote: > This is great . . . Thanks, guys!!! > > > > On Nov 7, 2015, at 4:56 PM,
