I haven't tried this, but I think it will get you started in the right direction.

Draw one triangle and fill it with a colour. Since you want a hexagon made of six of them, the triangles will be equilateral and the angles will all be 60°

Now draw the other five similarly, but using different ...

Thanks folks, for the hints and also for the sample stack. I can see I'm digging myself a fairly deep hole here, but it'll be a great way to get back up to speed on programming.

Thanks Craig,

I'll need to think of a way to pin the circle to the vertices, since I want the user to be able to change the shape of the triangles at will. I likely need to explore the geometry of circumcircles to see how they're calculated, and then write a routine to do that in my stack -- Oops ...

Hi,

I need some kind soul to point me towards whatever part of this forum I'll need to review to get hints on how to do the following...

1. Draw a triangle (or quadrilateral) which the user can manipulate by dragging any of the corners to resize/reshape it.

2. Have a circumcircle of the triangle ...

Thank you Bernd. Very kind of you to help. I'll definitely have a look at your code example. It should get me going with the table's column widths. As for calculation, I was thinking of holding it all in an array. Probably a bit overkill, but I like working with arrays. They seem such a simple ...

Hi,

Just starting my first LiveCode project. I used H'Card years ago, so I know just enough to hurt myself.

I'm trying to create a score card -- very simple thing. First stab was to put in a Basic Table Field. I'd figure out how to put data into it and add it up later. But I can't do something ...

I'll just talk to myself for a while, if you don't mind. ;-)

My current field script attempt is this...

on focusIn
select after tab 1 of me
set the locktext of me to false
end focusIn

on closeField
set the locktext of me to true
end closeField

This results in an error...

Type Chunk: can't ...

Thanks again Malte,

I understand now -- makes perfect sense. Though perhaps if choosing either Option menu or Combo box sets the label property to something, choosing one of the other button types should quietly reset the label property to empty. Maybe the devs can fix that when they've got lots of ...

Hello all,

I need to emulate a score sheet.

The sheet has a column of drop-down buttons next to a 2-column table. Each button is used to enter a team member's name in the first cell in each row of the table. Then the user enters a W or L in the second cell (to indicate win or loss) and a script ...

Thanks Malte. The second command worked; the name reappeared.

So am I to assume that setting the button type to any other type will cause this? Or is it just one of the types? Is this a bug or a "feature"? :P

By the way, in the inspector (is that what that window is called?) there was nothing in ...

Hello,

Just messing around and getting started. I created a button of type Pull Down, put a small script into it. When it worked, I duplicated it several times. The names remained the same, and there was a small change in each script. Not efficient I know, but it worked.

Then, wondering what the ...
