FYI, adding the formatting commands in a variable and then setting the HTMLtext will be *much* faster than formatting by setting styles in a field. On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 7:39 AM, Paul Dupuis wrote: > Text in a variable (i.e "verse_line") can not be styled, at least in

Re: Area of Irregular Polygon

In the thread ("Area of irregular Polygon") I've seen a very fast technique. I tested this technique and found it extremely fast. Thus I would like to summarize and contribute also the centroid formulas, for our collections. Look at non-selfintersecting (simple) polygons. The centroid of such a

Formatting a number with two or more decimal points

Hi All, Recently, while updating Ian's SVGL to import some SVG archives that you could download from OpenClipart.org I found an error processing this number: 80.26.12 This looks like a number with two decimal points but it's a shorthand for two numbers that some SVG editors use to save space by

Re: Area of Irregular Polygon

For the area calculation, it is actually marginally faster without the "delete line 1 of p" - i.e. as Geoff Canyon suggested. The first time through the loop is guaranteed to calculate "0" - so no change to the result, and a cost of a very few microseconds. But doing that "delete line 1 of p"

Re: can't build, won't build !@?

Hi John, I can confirm this one :) Bit of a funky one as using your assets on a fresh stack works without issue so seems to point to something stack specific. We'll keep you posted via the bug report. Kind Regards, Neil LiveCode Technical Support Lead n...@livecode.com

Standalone Internet Access Errors

I have a standalone app that users download, unzip, and run. This works fine. However, from time to time I get a call from a customer, typically on a windows computer, that the app is unable to reach the internet. My standalone is getting timeout errors, and "Host address not found"

Calculating the sum of a *lot* of primes

I'm playing with a challenge to calculate the sum of the primes less than 3,000,000,000 So far I have this, which gets the job done for the primes up to about a billion, but then dies (the whole app) without even a dialog. It's also not very fast. It would probably take an hour or two to finish.

Re: styling text within an LC script

Text in a variable (i.e "verse_line") can not be styled, at least in the same what you style text in a field (i.e. setting the textStyle property) To style text in a script, you either need to create the styling in a variable as htmlText or in an array as the styledText. I think for what you want

Re: MouseMove message interrupted when I change cards

Dude, the mouseMove messages suck. Like it always sends a mouseMove after mouseDown, whether or not the mouse moved. And there are other things that either block mouseMove from being sent, or send it only to the original control, or some other exception. If you try to do anything unusual based on

Re: Formatting a number with two or more decimal points

This works with the two cases you described. I've heard that "repeat while" isn't the fastest option, but it sounded like 6 repeats would be an extreme case, so it probably doesn't matter. on testingTesting -- 10.26.12.47.38.52.71 -- 10.26 0.12 0.47 0.38 0.52 0.71 -- put "80.26.12"

MouseMove message interrupted when I change cards

Among the controls in a group with background behavior I have a “quick browse” control — a polygon graphic whose many rectangular parts represent cards in the stack. I handle “mouseEnter” and “mouseMove”, and use the mouseH to calculate which card to go to. I find that the “mouseMove” message
