think (I haven't done rigorous testing). When I try to set the style
of a graphic object to line (eg. set style of the selectedObject
to line') I get an error (Expression: missing factor).
But if I create one line, then set the style of
another object to the style of the first line, it disappears. The object
is still listed in the application overview (at least in 20a), but it
won't show on the screen (If I set the style to something other than a
line, it shows up; then if I select line again, it disappears.
I tried the script mentioned before on the list:
set the style of the defaultgraphic to line
create graphic linetohost
set the points of graphic linetohost to MyVertList
choose browse tool
but got a " missing '(' " error on the 'set the
style..' line.
Thanks,
Jim
Try the following :
set the style of graphic "Foobar" to "line"
As 'line' is a reserved word in Transcript, it's
better to surround it with quotes to avoid any
misinterpretation by the compiler.
In this case, the compiler thinks you want to set the
style of the graphic to the _content_ of line XXX of a
variable or another container, and reports an error as
itthinks you forgot the rest of the reference.
Hope this helped,

The disappearing graphic when style is set to line appears to be a "feature" built into the MC engine. On MC 2.4.3, Win XP pro, I tried setting the style to "line" of a variety of graphic objects and indeed some of them disappear. They display if the style property is set to another value, such as regular. The same behavior occurs if a graphic object line is drawn, and then the script
set the style of myGraphic to the style of thelineGraphic
So, you'll have to evaluate this usage on an object-by-object basis to determine if you can use it for your particular app.
