Putting image into a circle shape

[richmond62]

Did you notice the questionmark at the end of my first sentence?

Yes, but I chose to ignore it: because, in that way, we could continue our lover's tiff a bit longer.

OK, I fully understand that!

[Klaus]

Oops, sorry, of course I meant:
I fully understand that, DARLING!

Oops, sorry, of course I meant:
Yes, Dear !

There, fixed that for you

[Klaus]

How dare you?

Ménage à trois . . .

[[-hh]]

Here a very simple solution, no grouping, no pattern needed.

1. create an opaque circle graphic
2. create your image (layered *over* the circle graphic)
3. set ink of the circle graphic to "blendDstOut"
4. set ink of the image to "blendDstAtop"

script both the graphic and the img with
"on mouseDown; grab me; end mouseDown"

Now you can drag the image by grabbing it within the image's bounds.
OR
You can drag the graphic by grabbing it after scripting: "disable img <nameOfYourImage>" (from msg or button).

Ah, cool, thank you Hermann!

Ah, now that's what I was looking for when I mentioned "one of Hermann's nifty stacks".

That is pretty cool.
