Surely, I made a mistake describing the second option.

This second option works just like Adobe Director's CopyPixels:

Could we replicate every feature of CopyPixels with scripts?
This an example of the kind of imaging application that we could
create with a feature like CopyPixels:
http://director-online.dasdeck.com/buil ... php?id=840
And these kind of effects:

Good thread!

This is a little tangential to the discussion but throw this behavior into the grid image to get the 'cell' that a user clicks.

on mousedown
put item 1 of the clickloc - the left of me into hoffset
put item 2 of the clickloc - the top of me into voffset
put the selectedtext of btn mygridspacing into spacing
put 1 + (hoff div spacing), 1 + (voff div spacing)
end mousedown

Yes, nice idea.
Perhaps one shouldn't rely on the label of an 'independent' button (may have changed, especially if you have several images). One could store instead the 'spacing' as a property of the created image.

here is a version of the grid stack including an animation of the grid

it is a bit cleaned up, uses Herman's suggestion to do the grid at 1 Pixel size and let Livecode resize to final dimensions.
Also shows the effect that Hermann mentioned that doing a resize with an image leads to interesting effects.
use "fuzzy" to see the effect for animation.

Kind regards

ATTACHEMENT

Thanks again, Bernd and Hermann for sharing many great ideas
and practical examples.

I will restart some pending projects in this platform with the
hope that they get attention and critical reviews.

By the way, Have you checked the resize script of this stack:

My tests reveal that this script distort the position of controls
after repeated use. Why?

Have a nice week!
