Hi Jacque, Trying to build a 12x12 round marker, I realized that the markers coordinates 0,0 are positioned on the polygon vertex... so my previous circle was not correctly centered. And, a circle of 8x8 or 12x12 never will, you have to use odd numbers of pixels to have the marker well

I don't think it is possible to do what I need, but if anyone has time to tinker, I've put an example stack here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23431607/markerTest.livecode The problem seems to be that the markers are drawn based on each point's position as it would lie on a tiled copy

Hi Jacque, I'm not going to claim any understanding of the engine… but, I played a bit and maybe this info will be helpful. I messed with creating the image within LC6.6.2 OSX 8.5:import snapshot from grc DemoOval and experimented with different size graphics. I started using a 100x100

Hi Jacque, It seems that if you fill the Markerfill with your image,this image is transformed into a pattern, that is, repeated in every direction across the graphic and visible only in the markers (what I deduce because they don't look identical to each other, but two contiguous or

Another possibility is to drop the graphic and use only it's list of points, and to clone your image and set the loc of each clone to the successive points... but it will give more headache if you want to change the scale. No, better to keep the graphic (without markers) and to use it's

Does anyone know how the engine calculates the size of an image used to draw the markers on a polygon graphic? I have an image that is 8 pixels square but when used as a marker it appears smaller. I've fiddled with the linesize of the graphic, which does change the marker size, but instead of
