Short: Some simple scripts for DrawStudio Author: odin@dcs.qmw.ac.uk (Andrew Elia) Uploader: odin dcs qmw ac uk (Andrew Elia) Type: util/rexx Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a small collection of some of my first attempts at bashing out some ARexx scripts for the excellent Drawstudio. They don't do anything particularly fancy, and the interface is a bit naff, but I they'll be valuable learning material... even if it does mean that you learn how NOT to write an ARexx script! IMPORTANT! Some of these scripts require rexxmathlib.library (available from Aminet sites at util/rexx/RexxMathLib.lha or on Aminet CD 16). * Graph - As the name suggests, a little script that allows you to plot a bar graph from a set of values. You can set various options such as the scale used for the Y-axis, the length of ticks, the inter-bar gap among other things. * Polygon - OK, OK, so there are already scripts for drawing various types of polygon provided with the program, but this one is different. Honest, guv. Whereas the scripts that come with DrawStudio only let you do triangles, pentagons, hexagons, septagons, and octagons, this script gives you the ability to create ANY regular polygon you like! Dodecagon anyone ? * Flash - This creates a little star-like flash object not unlike those seen in the tackier of supermarkets. However, like many other things in DrawStudio, it's a little more flexible than that. One of the example images demonstrates how, with the aid of the Duplicate tool, you can create a pretty flower. Hmm. * Pie - This is a bit of a naff attempt at creating pie charts. Due to my severe lack of knowledge in all things mathematical, I'm not particularly familar with Bezier curves, and so the slices tend to look a bit crappy. However, you can still do cool things like picking up individual slices and moving them elsewhere. Oh, and if you don't already have DrawStudio and just happen to be browsing at this ReadMe file for no apparent reason, the go out and buy it now! Seriously, we don't often get new commercial talent in these hard times, so please give the demo a try or something. Andrew Elia
