Did you figure out a solution to this problem?

Not yet Ed.

Dondi,

I uploaded a stack "Pedigree Diagram Draft" to RevOnline 3.5.

Make new objects by clicking on the right side template objects and than connect them by alt-clicking on an object and dragging the line to the object you want to connect it to.

Most of the scripts are in the objects.

I leave ...

Hi Dondi,

1. Something like this (very basic!):

command connect_shapes shape1,shape2
## where shape 1 and 2 are the names or IDs or whatever
## of two graphics you want to connect

set the style of the templateGraphic to "line"
## set more props here...
set the points of the templategraphic ...

Hi Bernd,

I can presently add, move, resize and delete shapes (templateGraphic objects) placed on my "canvas" (an image object)

I would now like to:

1. Draw connecting lines between the shapes
2. Keep the lines attached whenever a connected shape is moved

Can you explain how I might approach ...

...
I posted a little stack on RevOnline it is called connect lines Saratoga, if you search for it you should find it. It shows some basics of connecting images with lines. Have a look at it, take it apart and see what you can do with it.

Bernd

I modified the on mouseWithin handler by adding the "choose pointer tool" as follows:

on mouseWithin
select me
choose pointer tool
end mouseWithin

Now I am able to resize the created objects when the app is run within Rev. However, the standalone app still behaves as in ...

Hi,

I am a rev newbie; but thanks to the generous members of the rev community I am making slow, but steady progress on my "learning project" -- a simple drawing app.

So far I have a simple palette of tools and a canvas where I can add objects of several shapes, select them and drag them around ...

Thanks Klaus. I am using vector objects on an image object used as a canvas. I will try your defaultstack suggestion and see where it leads.

Thanks keyless!

Hi Matt,

the only soluton is to create a palette window with your "tools", just like in the Rev IDE. ...

Hi Klaus, can you elaborate on implementation of the palette? I tried implementing this approach by placing the "canvas" on a card in the mainstack and the palette on a card on a ...

OK. I have decided to just jump into Rev Studio and claw my way to completing this app (hopefully with some help from the community).

Here is the general approach that I am thinking of pursuing:

The app will consist of a main window containing the drawing "canvas" and a tools window (palette ...

Kind of, but not exactly. I need something less generalized, and more application-specific. Which is why I'm trying to build it myself.

Your app certainly encompasses the capabilities that I would need to implement though. Are you using a "component" stack to realize the drawing/graphic object ...

Hello,

Warning: I am a Total Rev Newbie

I recently purchased Revolution Studio and am coming up to speed with its unique programming paradigm.

I want to dive in and improve my proficiency by creating a basic flow-charting app.

The app will consist of a canvas plus a limited set of resize-able ...

Very nice! Are there any tutorials on how such a tool can be constructed using Revolution?

Dondi.
