Re: Plotting Equations that Bifurcate

Thank you, Alex. I am aware of the blank line causing a break, but I can’t seem to programmatically get it (or them) in the right place. I have a smooth solid line that splits in two, and I want to maintain solid lines after the split. I must have something screwy in code. Roger > On Oct 29, 2

Re: Plotting Equations that Bifurcate

remember that a blank line in the 'points' (aka the vertexlist) is not drawn - therefore you can put each of the branches as a subset of points, with a blank in between Alex. e.g. two Y values for each X, in a single graphic ... repeat with i = 1 to N     put N,2*n &CR after t1     put N,3*n

Plotting Equations that Bifurcate

I am trying to plot an equation that bifurcates by setting the points of a polygon as I iterate the equation. But I can’t figure how to handle the bifurcation. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists

Jacque Right as usual. I had forgotten about the internet date, if I ever knew. I suppose somewhere there is a little essay about all this but if so it is buried in the LC documentation. The only souci with this format is that it gives the month in alpha, presumably according to the nationalit

I believe that when you convert a pure time to dateitems it assumes the current date. The date has no time component so it assumes midnight of the current date. Bob S > On Oct 29, 2020, at 04:04 , Graham Samuel via use-livecode > wrote: > > Just FYI, I think the dictionary is wrong or misl

The session lockup issue also needs to be addressed. This has been raised in the past but I found the recipe. This bug occurs when requests come too close together. My spidy sense says that this is a file locking race condition. https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22560 Ralph DiMola I

What is the workaround that you ended up using? I looked at the code once but it quickly went over my head. I couldn’t see where the fonts were pulled in, at least not where it could be cleanly intercepted. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 28, 2020, at 11:57 PM, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode >

I understand it, but the Dictionary is misleading and in one case actually wrong: when it says the ’time’ form gives the seconds - it doesn’t. You need to use the ‘long time’, at least so it seems to me. I have submitted a bug report. I also thought that I could use the ToUniversalTime function,

Hey Friends, I'm enjoying this thread a lot. I'll not be the person to tell someone not to port LC to some new ISA or OS, I think it would be great if LC would run in BSD. Personally, I don't have the time or even the skillset to help this, but I'd love to benefit from it. Incidentally this is the

If you only use a date and convert it, dateItems will assume the time to be midnight on that particular date. Tore > 29. okt. 2020 kl. 12:04 skrev Graham Samuel via use-livecode > : > > Just FYI, I think the dictionary is wrong or misleading in respect of what > the dateItems does. If you sc

Just FYI, I think the dictionary is wrong or misleading in respect of what the dateItems does. If you script this in the LC Message Box: put the date into t1 convert t1 to dateItems put t1 You get, e.g. 2020,10,29,0,0,0,5 but if you script put the english time into t1 convert t1 to dateItems

Thanks Tore - I had forgotten the existence of dateItems. That of course will do the trick. BTW I was trying to create dates in standard UTC format, and now I can. Graham > On 28 Oct 2020, at 23:18, Tore Nilsen via use-livecode > wrote: > > You can convert any given date to dateItems. Then y
