Script Editor Unusable on Windows

So having used it on two laptops, I conclude that LiveCode 901 Script Editor is essentially broken on many Windows machines. It's now unusable for real coding (with the built-in Script Editor) in my experience. Not a very acceptable situation! Bug report:

I believe the OP was talking about two arbitrary lines, likely graphic objects, that intersect each other. Not rectangles with points within them, or two rectangles. I think the only way to do this is as per the first four posts in this thread. Craig -- Sent from:

Unless something changed, the built in spinner uses the single threaded engine, so any processing done by the engine will halt the spinner, thereby making the spinner just the other side of worthless for anything but non-blocking operations. What I did was I wrote a standalone that could

Re: Intersect Function

It is not this complicated. Only if you are looking for the intersection of two line *segments* you have do a few more checks. A LC object "line" is a line segment given by two pairs of points (x,y). The OP probably mean with line the math object line that is given by and passing through these

Unfortunately, the tao of lc isn't documented everywhere, and things that work on one os don't work on another, see "All the filenames that work on every platform but not on Windows". There seems to be another issue with single-quotes in paths, even though LC specifically substitutes them into

Re: Script Editor Slow on Windows (any Macs?)

Well, I have noticed a regression of the old Forgotten Breakpoint bug, where a soft breakpoint is set (red dot) and after editing and saving a script, the red dot remains but the engine does not break. Turning it off and on again fixes it until the next save. Others have reported the script

Re: Intersect Function

Well and good. I repeat that in a computer screen, with fixed pixel coordinates, you will likely need just a bit of rounding forgiveness when doing the math. You need to write a bit of code, in other words, that will accept close matches between the string of pixels and the calculated "points"

Re: Intersect Function

Thanks Craig, I was already afraid of that. Yes, I guess I could figure out the math. I will have the 2 functions of the lines and if I set them equal, I could solve the intersection point of the two. Your way is also valid, but as I need to determine many intersection points, the script might get

Re: Intersect Function

Hi. No. But you can determine the points of a line graphic, and calculate all the pixels it "contains" from its starting point to its ending point. Do the same for a second line. Then you can determine the point that seems to be common to both lines. I say seems, because when you do the math,
