Hi Developers, Download the stack "Pen Tool v2" from:
http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/penToolv2.zip This stack shows a pen tool similar to the bezier pen tool of vector ilustration software. i'm working in the companion three selection tools for this tool and integrating all my previous work with vector graphics into one stack: "graphic tools v02" To start drawing, click on the button "Set cursor to pen", then the cursor turns to the icon "Pen Tool". To start drawing, click on the empty space of the card. 1- To start drawing a curved line, click on the card to create the FIRST VERTEX POINT (sending a mousedown msg) and while keeping the mouse down, drag the mouse far from the point where you clicked (mousemove msg) and release the mouse button (mouseup msg) to create the FIRST CONTROL POINT... a red line appears with a bezier curve. Click again (mousedown msg) to fix the position of the SECOND VERTEX POINT and move the mouse to shape the bezier curve (mousemove msg) and release the mouse in any location to fix the SECOND CONTROL POINT (mouseup msg). IMPORTANT: If you press the ALT/OPTION key while moving the mouse to fix the position of the SECOND CONTROL POINT, you get a THIRD CONTROL POINT that moves in sync with the second control point... this third control point becomes the first control point of a new curve that will follow the line you are drawing. Click to fix the position of these control points. Now the red line turns to a green line and you could repeat the steps above to draw another curved line or simply click and release the mouse button to draw straight lines. To close the polygon you put the cursor exactly over the beginning of the line (You'll notice that the cursor changes to a pen with a circle)and DOUBLE CLICK (mousedoubleup msg). You'll finish drawing anytime by double clicking in any place of the card. Feel free to streamline this handler for your own purposes. All i ask is that you keep an updated link to my website in your website or the documentation of your software.
