Code: Select all
remove paint from rect "yourRect"Code: Select all
remove paint from the extent of control "yourControl"After reading your post I did some experimentation. Nothing seems to work in my stack. However i created a new stack and it works. I believe that my stack is corrupt. It might have something to do with the fact that I am revamping an app that I wrote over five years ago in a much older version (RunRev 3.0). I guess I need to start over from scratch.dunbarx wrote:Hi.
On a Mac, I find no issue with very large erasers, set say, from a large img imported as a control and the eraser property set to that ID. Must be a Windows thing.
But your thought of being able to:
orCode: Select all
remove paint from rect "yourRect"Where "yourControl" might even be a polygon of odd shape, or a circle, whatever, is interesting.Code: Select all
remove paint from the extent of control "yourControl"

If you can open the stack at all it's probably not corrupt. What problems are you seeing?magice wrote:Nothing seems to work in my stack. However i created a new stack and it works.

in my original stack, I imported an image as a control. The ID of the image is 1165. When I use the following code, the stack and LC shuts completely down instantly.FourthWorld wrote: If you can open the stack at all it's probably not corrupt. What problems are you seeing?
Code: Select all
set the eraser to 1165It sounds like at worse the image object alone may be corrupted, but the stack is fine. What happens if you delete the image and replace it with a new copy?magice wrote:in my original stack, I imported an image as a control. The ID of the image is 1165.

The same thing, I tried it several times with GIFs, PNGs, and JPGs of diferent sizes. The Gif's and PNG's I tried both with and without alpha channels. Anyway, I am not going to worry about it now. The new stack is working perfectly.FourthWorld wrote:It sounds like at worse the image object alone may be corrupted, but the stack is fine.

Da_Elf wrote:the paintbrush works when editing inside of livecode but how is it used when working outside of the livecode interface as an external program? ive searched for how to make drawing programs and i only found the method of creating a graphic and it stores points for the graphic
In standalone settings, I believe on the first page, there is a radio button to check to enable the inclusion then a checkbox to include it.Da_Elf wrote:how do you "include" it? ive been looking for a walkthrough but cant even find much info anywhere on the site
Look up "choose" in the dictionary. You can also look up brush, eraser,dropper etc, but I believe choose will lead you to the most info. Also keep in mind that you cannot edit a referenced image. You have to import paint from the image.Da_Elf wrote:right so i see how to include brushes. now how is it actually used? On the livecode page im not getting any tutorials, none googleing it, and typing paint into dictionary doesnt give me much info on its use.
this is the closest i can come to its use
