How about a multi plot that can do a whole box? Say, something like:
Multi Plot x1,y1 To x2,y2,A
And how about commands which can insert and delete elements in an array
quickly. Obviously not resize it, just shift the data about. It would
be far more efficient and less cumbersome than the normal AMOS method.
The command could be:
Array Insert Array(n()),n
Or something like that. I'm not totally sure about the AMOS Array()
function, but it seems to be the only way of doing such things with
extensions.
A command I would find occasionally useful would be something that pastes
a bob image down, at a zoomed down ratio. eg
Paste Zoomed Bob n,x1,y1 To x2,y2
So this:
Paste Zoomed Bob 4,100,100 To 120,130
Would paste bob 4, resizing it to fit into the specified box. With support
for masks if possible.
The current alternative method to this is to open a new screen, Paste Bob
on to it, Zoom it down, Get Bob it and Paste Bob it on the original screen.
Rather a messy and slow method, I'm sure you'll agree.
