move vs changing loc

[SteveTX]

The move command allow you to move an image from one coordinate to another, over a certain frame number or speed. Is this in any way different / optimized / faster than calculating a path with coordinates and changing the loc of the image accordingly to animate?

Hi Steve,

The move command doesn't lock the GUI, allows for multiple moves simultaneously and is smoother than a repeat loop with messages.

Kind regards,

Mark

Perfect, I'll change my implementation.

This needs to be said, probably should be annotated in the dictionary notes if only i had a login that worked for it: The move feature, with or without messages, is vastly superior to plotting loc coordinates and issuing updates. It is significantly smoother in operation, even when you have an unoptimized / glitchy service running in the background eating up cpu cycles.
