Re: How to save a graphic on a card using paint tools

Could you try to create an image object of the size and location you want first and then do your drawing- I created a new image with default properties. Then I set the rectangle of the new image to the rect of the painted image (or bigger). This worked: when I leave the card or close the stack the ...

Re: How to save a graphic on a card using paint tools

OK, OK, just wanted to be sure. 8) But what do you mean by: (If I want to draw a new graphic I use a button that cuts the rectangle of the graphic.) Maybe you could post the script and/or stack here? To delete the previously drawn graphic I use this script: choose select tool drag from 0,0 to 560,7...

Re: How to save a graphic on a card using paint tools

There's no openCard handler or any other handler that 'cleans up' the card. (If I want to draw a new graphic I use a button that cuts the rectangle of the graphic.)

How to save a graphic on a card using paint tools

Hi, I've a script that draws a graphic (like a column chart) using the draw command. Before I start drawing I've set linesize and pencolor. The graphic draws smoothly and everything works as expected. However, when I go to another card the graphic is lost. It's also lost when I save the stack. What ...

referring to other stacks: include .livecode extension

I work on different locations with different OS systems. I experience a lot of troubles when I try to (pre) load stacks under Win10 or Win11. Under Win10 I get away with "start using stack xxx" but under Win11 I have to use "start using stack xxx.livecode" Is this a known issue? And how to resolve t...

Re: image is shared between cards instead of unique to the cards

Thanks to all who replied! Really appreciated it because the solution was indeed to drop the shared image and place an image on each card. Fortunately, that was easy to script. So now I have exactly what I want with a unique image on each card. Now that the shared image issue has been resolved, I've...

Re: image is shared between cards instead of unique to the cards

Thanks. When I look at the object properties of my group 'collection' I have checked 'shared group' and 'behave like a background'.

But how can I make the image to not belong to this background group?

image is shared between cards instead of unique to the cards

I have a stack of about 50 cards with a number of fields and buttons shared in a group 'collection'. Each card has an image (png), belonging to the same group 'collection', that I load from the internet when the card is created. However, this image is shared between all cards instead of being unique...

Re: Printing to PDF stops after some pages

I have a stack of about 12 cards (each card contains 7 fields with 54 lines of text each) that I want to print to a pdf. That works fine up to page 7. On the eighth page, the data that is printed to the pdf stops somewhere halfway. I can send the same file directly to a printer and then all 12 page...

Re: Printing to PDF stops after some pages

No, I'm experiencing this on Win10 and in the IDE environment. No special characters are being used, just plain text.
