Any bright ideas what "ramp" could be ?
Not in the built-in documentation in my version of Studio dp-4.
The others are less well documented:
opacity
blend mode
color
filter
spread
size
distance
angle
source
try "spread" in the built-in docs.
Possibly in the PDF; but, frankly, that is a pain in what my Granny called
the 'BTM" to look at whilst programming.
Being *reasonably* sure that you and I both picked up the same build
of 4.0 at the conference, I fired my Studio copy up again and I can
still type "fillgradient" in the search box and have it come up. Do
you have "All" (or "Object" or "Language") selected for the
documentation section (at the left of the docs pane) rather than
something under "Library"?
Yups, I stand corrected.
I admit to not having opened the pdf docs before, but now that I have
I don't think the Users Guide is actually going to be a substitute for
the Dictionary.
Personally, I think the PDF is for those people who have perfect recall, can
sit down and digest a whole document at one sitting, and then, while
trying to actually program something can bring up the relevant section of
the PDF in their mind's eye.
"Clever" though I may be (??????), this trick is way beyond me. Also,
given the luxury of time to read I will always reach for something by
Smollett or Fielding, or Kipling, Carlyle or Stevenson rather than some
deadly computer manual.
But you gotta love a document with a section titled "Delivering a
Message in the Future". I bet Jacque had a hand in writing that one.
Wow! Surely "Delivering a Message TO the Future" would be even
better.
