Blurring field contents

I want to give users options for capturing anonymised cards, and wondered about blurring text - maybe by overlaying a graphic of the text and blurring that? There is an LC tutorial about blurring images , but it seems c

Re: Blurring field contents

Why not just hide the fields in question before exporting the snapshots and then showing them after the export is done? This way you do not have to work with the exported image. Regards Tore Nilsen > 29. mar. 2018 kl. 17:35 skrev David V Glasgow via use-livecode > : > > I want to give users o

Re: Blurring field contents

You could set the imagesource of the characters into the field, take the snapshot, then "set the text of field "whatever" to the text of field "whatever" to revert. Did a quicky test, and it seems to work well enough. local simageOn on mouseup lock screen if sImageOn is empty then put false int

Re: Blurring field contents

That tutorial is a bit outdated now that there is a “blur” command, introduced in LC 8.0, it’s quicker and easier to use. Paul > On Mar 29, 2018, at 8:35 AM, David V Glasgow via use-livecode > wrote: > > I want to give users options for capturing anonymised cards, and wondered > about blurri

Selection Handles

I have an app that I'm migrating from LC 6.6.5 to 8.1.9. In it, a user creates documents that may consist of lines, boxes, text areas and images that they insert. There's been a big change between 6.6.5 and 8.1.9 in the selection handles on objects. In 6.6.5, the selection handles on lines were

Re: Selection Handles

Since you already have code in place to use your homegrown selection handles, can you adjust things so that the line doesn't actually have to be "selected" to make changes? My guess is that the small button you implemented can be dragged, and then you do your magic and adjust length while constrain

Re: Selection Handles

Thanks Mike. The app allows the user to be in standard LC edit mode to select any of the objects, either by clicking on them or dragging a selection rectangle around them. And I do have tools that allow the user to select multiple objects and then align, layer, make the same size etc. Perhaps I

Re: Selection Handles

I see, yeah. And rolling your own full blown selection scheme would be a bit much. On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 1:17 PM, Knapp Martin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Thanks Mike. The app allows the user to be in standard LC edit mode to > select any of the objects, either b

Re: Blurring field contents

Why do you want to blur text? I can’t stand blurry things, they always make me think there is something wrong with my eyes! (Unless of course that is the purpose of the blurry text.) ;-) Rick > On Mar 29, 2018, at 11:35 AM, David V Glasgow via use-livecode > wrote: > > I want to give users

Livecode Json Arrays Key Sort

put JSONToArray(tJson) into sColArrayA It is my imagination: Or are the keys of {object set} output as hash order (as per dictionary, required sort them first) simply delimited by { 1 3 5 6 7 2 4 } but keys of an array output as numeric [{ 1 2 3 4 ]] get always

Re: Livecode Json Arrays Key Sort

The fix is probably as easy as exposing the list type to LCS. Mark mentioned that at the last LCG last year. Since the parser already uses the list type and the engine has a list type internally it shouldn’t be that hard. On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 5:34 PM Mark Wieder via use-livecode < use-livecode@l

Re: Blurring field contents

If blurring turns out to be too problematic you might consider just replacing text with bullets or Lorem Ipsum. -- Scott Morrow > On Mar 29, 2018, at 1:41 PM, David V Glasgow via use-livecode > wrote: > > > >> On 29 Mar 2018, at 5:44 pm, Paul Hibbert via use-livecode >> wrote: >> >> Tha

Re: variable xref

I don't want to pretend to be an expert on the topic of writing compilers, since I only ever wrote two, both under the watchful obsession of a professor, and my lex and parse code were not optimal in either case. In general, they were some of the easiest pieces of large code I ever wrote because t
