Really small, true, but still.

Make any graphic, so that the extent is only a few pixels V and H, and try to either duplicate, copy and paste or clone.I actually need to do this.

This works here (LC 9dp6):

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   create grc
   set the width of grc 1 to 4
   set the height of grc 1 to 4
   clone grc 1
end mouseUp
What do you get?

Hi Craig.

In case the enlarging of copied small graphics when pasting is the problem:
This is a "feature" for old eyes, was recently in the discussion somewhere (if not a feature request to decrease the 'limits' for that). I think Bernd was 'active' with that, he certainly will come in --- early or late.

Edit. Changed 'sooner or later' to 'early or late' ;-)

Hi Craig,

this came up on the use-list a while ago

It is described here including discussion link to use-list.
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18966

as of LC 9 DP4 you can copy, clone etc graphics smaller than 9 by 9 px.

@Hermann,

thanks a lot, Hermann, that is why I woke up at 5:30 am and could not sleep anymore :)

Kind regards

Bernd
