- Finally...
-
- I have (half) written a paint package, but am experiencing several
- problems with it. (surprisingly)
-
- 1) Can anyone tell me the formula for a parabola? Or preferably, can
- anyone tell me how to write a curve tool like the one in Deluxe paint?
-
- 2) What I want to do, for example, is pick up a circle of colour 0 from
- a background of colour 1 as a BOB, like:
- ______
- | __ |<--colour 1
- | / \ |
- | \__/<|---colour 0
- |______|
-
- BUT I would like colour 1 to be transparent and NOT colour 0! I found a
- machine code procedure called MAKE_MASK on an AmosPro Productivity disk
- and tried to use that in conjunction with NO MASK but without success.
-
- 3) I presume there's no way to REDIM an array is there?
-
- 4) Or SET BUFFER within a program? I want to have a list of fonts but,
- since I don't have a hard drive, I have hardly any. When I gave the
- program to a friend it said "out of variable space" or something. Do I
- just whack it up high and hope for the best? If so, is there a way of
- telling a maximum number of fonts that the buffer would hold? I don't
- think I can do an interface ActiveList directly from the FONT$() array
- can I??
-
- 5) Is there a faster version of PLOT and POINT as I'm doing "image
- processing" (sort of..) in the program and it's REALLY slow. I have
- seen an image processor I think is in Amos (because you can Ami+A it
- into Wbench) and it makes mine look foolish by being so fast - how does
- it do it?
-

-
- I think that'll have to do for now, although I'm sure I'll think of some
- more soon! Sorry about this, I hope you don't mind all this crap. If
- you can help with any of it I will be incredibly grateful as many of
- these things have plagued me for AGES!!!
-
- Thanks..
