Rotating widgets
Hi All, Effectively, SVG Icon widget grows and shrink when rotating, but Peter Thirkell SVG Multicolor widget does not. This Multicolor svg widget only clips it's content and stays the same size. Richmond, Have you installed SVG Multicolor widget?

Re: is a date
What about this from the Master Library from Ken Ray?
function isDate pWhat
/* isDate Date
Syntax:
isDate (pWhat)
Examples:
isDate("10/10/2001")
Description:
Determines if the container passed to it in contains a valid
date.
Returns true or false.
Source:
Ken Ray, sdtlib 1.0b
isDate */
convert pWhat to short date
return not(the result is "invalid date")
end isDate

Re: Rotating widgets
Another disadvantage of using a rotated SVG is that is will resize to fill its rectangle when rotating. The clock hand will change its size on each rotation.

Rotating widgets
I am getting a bit fudgey with clock hands. I have used my SVG importer stack to import a minute and an hour hand as SVG widgets, as well as a clock face. The "only snag" is that when I do this sort of thing: set the angle of widget "hourHand" to 90 it rotates the widget round its centre rather than round the bit that a clock hand would naturally rotate around. So . . . is there a way to do something like this: [pseudo-code] set the angle of widget "hourHand" to 90 at point 20,200 ? where "point 20,200" refers to a position on the widget around which rotation can take place.

Re: is a date
That's what I suspected. So to build a slightly better trap, I am doing this: if tDate is a date and length(tDate) > 5 and tDate contains "/" then put "true" else put "false" end if I am sure there is probably a standard way to catch all possible date formats (excluding "the seconds"), but this works for most. ~Roger On Sat, Oct 14, 2017 at 12:44 PM, Klaus major-k via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi Roger, > > > Am 14.10.2017 um 18:30 schrieb Roger Eller via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > > > put "11/20/2017" is a date > > returns true > > > > put "10" is a date > > returns true > > > > put "raccoon" is a date > > returns false > > > > > > WHY is "10" seen as a date? > > looks like the engine is seeing seconds also as a possible valid date. > > convert 0 to long date and long time;put it -> Thursday, January 1, 1970 > 1:00:00 AM > 1:00:00 = DST here in germany! > > convert 10 to long date and long time;put it -> Thursday, January 1, 1970 > 1:00:10 AM > etc... > > And of course: > put (the seconds) is a date -> TRUE > > > ~Roger > > Best > > Klaus > > -- > Klaus Major > http://www.major-k.de > kl...@major-k.de > > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
