- First, I'd like to thank everyone that responded to my questions about
- amiga drawing programs a while back. I bought ProVector, and so far I'm
- reasonably happy with it. One of the things I like most about it is that
- it's (supposedly) fully programmable through arexx. That happens to be
- the same thing I'm having trouble with. I receieved lots of mail from a
- bunch of happy provector users before I bought it. Hopefully someone will
- be able to help me out now.
-
- I have succeded in writing some macros, but being new to rexx and
- provector it hasn't been easy to do what I want. This might have
- something to do with my understanding of the types of objects that can
- exist. The objects I'm working with consist of arcs and straight lines
- and must be closed and filled. This is easy enough to do using the
- straight-curve tool, but since I need many objects that look very
- similar I figured it would be easier to create a macro that would
- basically give me a new object type to work with. Basically the object
- looks like the following:
- ______
- (______)
-
- The macro I wrote uses GetUserData to determine the length, position and
- orientation of the object. It then creates 2 arcs using Arc and 2 lines
- using PolyLine. This creates the figure above, but since I now have 4
- separate objects I can't fill them. I can group the objects, but that
- doesn't seem to do what I want. Can anyone tell me how to create an
- object of this type using arexx?
-
- Thanks,
- Larry
