I'm trying to put most of the logic into script-only stacks, so I've got the first handler in the mainstack. It's supposed to load all those stacks in the list. The following handlers are the chain it should follow to start logging. The log works just fine in the IDE, but it doesn't start in the

I skipped a few in the middle, here, but one case where I use do and value is in lieu of having pointers, something that is not very easily replaced by an array. Using value and do allow me to write generic routines for populating forms and updating database tables afterwards, using the field

HH, thanks for the suggestion to use inks, though if it means the "label" will changes across all the buttons in the group, it may not be acceptable. OTOH, perhaps for my audience it would be "interesting" I will try it. your other memo on use a field is an option as well, as fiddling with the

BR, I now saw, late -- sorry, that you are using button's showName, that is, the text colour has to be adjusted, not the pattern. Then using a text field instead of 'showName' and setting the field's ink to "notSrcAndReverse" should do what you want (incl. nice effects). OR: Here's a

Re: Programmatically determine the average greyscale

Hi BR (thanks for the abbreviation), First you have to decide in detail what you want. 1. What is an average for you? Usual arithmetic mean is one option, other simple ones are a weighted mean of rgb (used by Photoshop etc.) or median values. 2. How to use the alphavalues? Max, min, median,
