Quotient

Err . . . So; I have several numbers that have to be divided by other numbers: 28 / 3 301 / 10 44 / 6 now these will all yield "awkward numbers" consisting of a quotient and a remainder: 9.33 30.1 7.33 Now I know one could be "ever so slightly potty" in LiveCode to get the quotient by

PDF Widget

I was just playing with the new PDF widget in LC 9.5. You can insert a PDF and overlay other LC objects (very cool) and then print the card but the PDF portion prints at low resolution - or did I miss something? Marty ___ use-livecode mailing list

I generally use "round" when working with pixels. But you don't have to, the LC engine seems to manage decimal pixels for you. Clever, that engine. On 6/24/19 2:34 PM, Richmond via use-livecode wrote: Thanks: I have. BUT, imagine, if you will, a situation where I want to animate a blob as

Re: Quotient

A (theoretical) circle is effectively a regular polygon with "many" vertices. LC Script draws only integer valued points (although you can give decimals). That approximation of a circle by regular polygons is shown in the sample stack http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?p=98716#p98716 The

Changing array key text

I have a multi-dimensional array and sometimes I need to change the text of one of the array keys without destroying the rest of the array. Putting a different value into a key removes all the subkeys under it, so I wonder if there's a way to update the text of a key without re-creating the

Re: Quotient

Some thoughts: A. Define round as a way to get rid of the fractional part. B. Use a simple (almost regular) polygon that can be multiplied to be bigger. C. Create your own functions that hide decimal fractions and let students use them. 1. Use turtle graphics D. Draw a circle of diameter

Re: Setting conditional breakpoints

I doubt you're thick, Lagi. :) As I mentioned before, I'm having a lot of trouble with breakpoints lately. Also, there's a difference between a breakpoint and a watch, and I rarely use watches because they aren't universally applicable. I do use conditional breakpoints though. A watch is

Re: Quotient

I have had no trouble with LiveCode in this respect: that is NOT the problem: the problem is that, in Bulgaria, kids have not been taught about numbers with decimal points when they are 11 years old (strikes me as a bit late in the day), so am trying to avoid those just now. Richmond. On

In LC9.0.5rc1 under Windows, I have a test stack with 2 opaque groups with show borders  - one covering the top half of the card and one covering the bottom half of the card. In side the top group are a couple buttons with plenty of white space around them and inside the bottom group are a

Re: Groups do not receive mouseEnter messages?

Hi Paul - so, you could create a grc object the same size as the group, send it to the back and set its cantSelect property to true. That should give you the behaviour you want as well as preventing your user from selecting the 'background' object in the group that switches to the pointer tool.
