System Window Mask Stack (Keyhole effect for stack with Windowshape)

place on the “System Window Mask” stack - then export a snapshot - my experiments so far are failing. I can get a polygon to make the stack with code like this: • export snapshot from graphicObject with effects to img”mask” of me as PNG • set the windowshape of stack stackName to imageID Bu

Another thing that can screw up windowShape is scaleFactor (or it used to, haven't checked since the early 6.7's...) - make sure you have it at 1 or else you get (or used to get) weird on-screen artefacts - The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits. - Albert

Obvious, but I can understand that you think this way, because sometimes you may want to use a window shape with a simple background colour or pattern. Btw you might want to set the cantSelect of the image to true after positioning it. That will save you some frustrations while building the
