LiveCode Forums.

Hello,

I wish to use RR to make a Web Button generator. The idea is that:

1. Users enter the text (e.g. About Us)

2. Adjust the Font Size, Font Type and Font Color.

3. Select the Button Background Color.

4. Adjust the button size.

5. The result or effect can be seen through a Preview Window.

6. Export the button in .GIF, .JPEG or .PNG format.

Is it possible to do with RR?

If the answer is positive. Could you please provide some guidelines to do that?

Thanks and best regards

Hi ALex,

Chipp Walters of Altuit created ButtonGadget using Revolution: http://www.buttongadget.com

So it is defintiely possible; you will want to combine graphics with patterns and images to achieve the look of the button, and a label field to put on top. And then you'd export a snaphsot of the rectangular area containing the web button.

So look at:
- the 'backgroundColor' property
- the 'textFont' property
- the 'textSize' property
- the 'textStyle' property
- the 'export snapshot' command.
