BTW, I like the idea of putting a reference link to the lessons in the "This Week in LiveCode" newsletter. It's an easy thing to do and I think it would help. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On February 15, 2021 12:26:30

I had to check and the lessons are in fact in both the Help and Resources menus but they are called Tutorials. Both link to the lessons site. I never actually looked at those before, I only knew about the lessons from elsewhere and I always use a bookmark to get there. Like you, I don't want

Thanks, Monte. I checked it out, but unfortunately none of the options handle my specific use case in the way I want (which is arguably an unrealistic expectation, given that I need to have the fill region paint over some vertices). I also discovered what may be a bug, or at least a

Well, permit me to chime in here with full knowledge that I may be out of date with what’s already available. Arguably the most important feature of LC is its muliplatformness. Recognizing that it is a moving target, We/I need and want up to date easy to use lessons on how to build

Polygon fill algo?

2021-02-14 Thread Richard Gaskin via use-livecode
I was hoping to use a single polygon draw a box, using the old trick of making discontiguous regions by adding a blank line between lists of points. The results draws the lines as I expected, but the fill is unpredictable, at least for me. Apparently the fill rules for a polygon cause it to

Every Livecoder who is interested in creating lessons or fixing outdated ones can ask Livecode Support to get access to the Lessons section. Livecode will then create an account and will provide the tools for creating the lessons. At least this was the fact when i asked if i could help.
