Here is a version for custom sort that lets you define the alphabet used and which letters take precedence when sorting. It sorts not only the first letter but sorts all letters of a word according to the preferences. Could not test it with old slavonic since I have not access to an old slavonic alp...

Mike,

Thank you. I finally understand what abacus things do.

I suspect that it's going to be something Richmond is trying to generalise for multiple alphabets. sort international might work for many situations but it uses the system locale Devanagari was just an example. The point I was trying to make is that it says that "text" type of sort (implicitely the...

Richmond, from the dictionary entry for sort container: Name: sortType Type: enum Description: If you don't specify a sortType, the sortType is text. • international: sorts by collation according to the system locale • numeric: sorts by number. (Use this form if the sortKey consists of numbers) • da...

Thanks Mike, The main trick is to double the number of referenced images in the fields. That way you can simulate a endless scrolling by setting the scroll of the field to show the appropriate image. Also I like the idea of a game loop: all scrollers register with the game loop and the loop triggers...

Hi, Here is something similar to a slot machine I made many years ago. It uses a game loop for animating three scrolling fields. It has a lot of eye candy and features. I had to provide images in 2 zipped folders because of size restrictions. The images are just test images. Put them into 1 folder a...

Hi Mike, My apologies for my last stack with revised handlers. The handler for radial gradient was not in the button... (blush) The handler for conical gradient was for a prior versin of the Procedural Graphics System. Now it is adapted to v 1.5.2 (blush) The handler for invert colors was failing on...

Mike, unfortunately the handler for "Linear Graphic (Angled)" is missing. Here are my versions based on your versions for the other scripts I have been working on. And a script to invert colors that is extremely fast, just for your interest. Here I was inspired by your Truchet tiles: https://forums....

Mike,

Hi Martin,

I am glad it works for you.

I'm trying to understand what is really happening.

There is nothing really to understand here except that you hit a bug in LC that is now fixed.

Kind regards

I do not understand. If I paint a line on a new card, it is true that the rect of the "image" of that line fills the card window. Save that stack. It is lost if I close and reopen. An imported image, however, allows the paint to survive if that paint lies within the rect of that image. What am I mi...

Bernd. Could you try to create an image object of the size and location you want first and then do your drawing- Why would that be of any use, even if it worked? The whole point of paint tools, awkward as they are, is lost if you have to prep them with an image. In that case, what do you need to pa...

Martin, I think you run afoul of an LC bug that if you use the paint tools and you do not explicitly create an image object where you "paint" then LC creates an image object for you but the problem is that that image is not "stable". Could you try to create an image object of the size and location y...

Hi, Michael Roberts, "Mike" did a wonderful stack for a Procedural Graphics System. https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=39878&p=235242#p235195 A part of it is creating patterns and one of them is "Truchet Tiles". I did not know Truchet tiles and I tried this and it creates intersting p...

Mike,

Thank you for another thourougly made and very instructive stack explaining an important concept of Livecode.

Kind regards
