Hi,
Everything always goes wrong at once doesn't it. Here are some more
things which I suspect can't be done.....
1. I'm trying to create a properties box and I thought it would be
quite nice to have tabs, like windows properties boxes. If you look
at the Windows display properties box, while I attempt to describe
what I was thinking of doing then it might possibly make some sense.
The best way I could think of doing this was to have a group of
buttons which were by default all pressed but one was always up. Below
the buttons I would map the relevant bases associated with each button
or tab and with some careful placing it would look as if the buttons
were tabs. I would then put tab looking bitmaps on the buttons.
However I can't see any way of creating the opposite of an exclusive
base, i.e. all of them are pressed except for one. Is there any way of
making an exclusive button change its state from within a program.
2. Is there any way within the direct graphics system to have total
control over text and be able to specify height as well as width?
3. When you specify the position of a surface plot by
POSITION=[0.2,0.2,0.8,0.8,0.3,0.9], what do those numbers translate
into on the actual window. If you draw lines at those points, then
there seems to be little correspondence between the position of the
surface and the lines.
Cheers,
Phil Aldis
