Short: Some more simple scripts for DrawStudio Author: odin@dcs.qmw.ac.uk (Andrew Elia) Uploader: odin@dcs.qmw.ac.uk (Andrew Elia) Type: util/rexx This is a small collection of some more of my attempts at bashing out ARexx scripts for the excellent Drawstudio. They don't do anything particularly fancy, and the interface is a bit naff, but I think 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). Additionally, you will also require a macro recorder/player program such as Oliver Grimm's excellent Recorder (which you can get from Aminet under util/cli/recorder.lha or from Aminet CD 13). Recorder is required to work around some of the limitations in DrawStudio's otherwise excellent and comprehensive ARexx command set. * NewFlash - Slightly modified version of the original flash effect (as seen in Volume one) to give an almost Christmassy look (because we're all thinking of Christmas in the middle of July, right ?). Anyway try it and see. * Grid - Three times winner of the "most boring ARexx script of the year" contest, this script simply draws a grid. Nah. You don't say! * FontList - After not being able to track down a decent font preview printing program for PostScript fonts, I wrote this. Decent it ain't, but it gets the job done! * NewPie - Tweaked version of the original (and rather awful) attempt at making pie charts. Granted, this one is still pretty crappy, but at least it looks a bit more circular! * Spiral - Draw them snails with ease with you're very own spiral drawing script! This probably got an honourable mention in the boring ARexx script contest. 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 and support new Amiga development.
