then just use:

	image:	first data
	effect:	[mix extend 3x7 1x1]

a dot? view layout [box 50x50 effect [draw [pen none fill-pen white 
box 25x25 26x26]]]

A single dot is not a problem. I would like line-width to take effect. 
Thanks for the input, but these are all work-arounds. I think, we 
need a dot command in draw. I've started work on a DeLuxe Paint like 
paint program. Lines, boxes, circles and so works ok, but if the 
user just make a dot, I have a problem. It should work with line-width 
> 1 too.

what is a dot with line-width > 1 like?

i guess, you just want a filled circle?

yes

But I want it to be pixel-correct, so if I extend that dot (filled 
circle) to a line, it should look correct.

AGG is sub-pixel correct ;)

view layout [box 400x400 white effect [draw [pen black line-width 
10 line-cap round line 30x30 300x30 line 50x100 70x100 translate 
0.5 0.5 pen none fill-pen black circle 30x100 5]]]

That might be a good way to do it. Let's see...

view layout [i: image black effect [draw [pen white line-width 10 
line-cap round line 20x

20 80x20 line 40x40 70x40 line-width 3 line 30x60 80x60 line-width 
1 line 25x80 80x80 transl

ate 0.5 0.5 pen none fill-pen white circle 20x40 5 circle 20x60 1.5 
circle 20x80 0.5]] image
 (i/size * 5) (to-image i)]

Yes, looking good. Just a bit irritating with the need of translate. 
A dot command at the same position as the start of a line would be 
desireable.

I hope, I make sense! :-D

Sorry, linebreaks.

Very nice. Looks like dpaint.

Generic newbie-like question: I was spying on source request-dir 
and am baffled as to how it works? There are many function names, 
I can't seem to access directly, such as F-LIST and DIROUT. Where 
do they come from?

request-dir: func [
    "Requests a directory using a popup list."
    /title "Change heading on request." title-line
    /dir "Set starting directory" where [file!]
    /keep "Keep previous directory path"
    /offset xy
][
    if block? dirout [
        dirout: layout dirout
        max-dirs: to-integer f-list/size/y - 4 / f-txt/size/y
        center-face dirout
    ]
    set-face f-title any [title-line "Select a directory:"]
    if not all [keep path] [
        path: copy either where [clean-path where] [what-dir]
    ]

    if all [not empty? path slash = last path] [remove back tail path]
    last-path: path
    result: none
    show-dir
    either offset [inform/offset dirout xy] [inform dirout]
    result
]

... as for request-dir - today I saw another native one dialog. Dunno 
programmers do have to produce one themselves or not. It was with 
mySQL installation procedure. I looked like typical Windows request-file 
requestor, but it had set filter to "directory". Could anyone check 
on that, please? I really do not like that inconsistency in rebol 
...

probe req-dir

I imagine 'request-dir is bound to this context.

thanks

crude prototype, but it helped me find the file I had been looking 
for :-) I don't know how  to do actual multi columns with the internal 
text-list. the plan was to allow scrolling (I can't get that working) 
and when you click on a search result, the file pops up in the viewtop 
editor. feel free to perfect it...

(and post it here again!)

AGG used in the draw dialect is very good at anti-aliasing. But then 
some (maybe) unexpected results occur, when anti-alias is turned 
off:

view layout [i: image black effect [draw [anti-alias off circle 50x50 
20 line 20x20 80x20 20x80 20x20]] image (i/size * 5) (to-image i)]

It's interesting, that a translate 0.5 0.5 will give a more 'even' 
result:

view layout [i: image black effect [draw [translate 0.5 0.5 anti-alias 
off circle 50x50 20 line 20x20 80x20 20x80 20x20]] image (i/size 
* 5) (to-image i)]

Yes, normally you think of a pixel offset (say, 0x0) is at the centre 
of the pixel. But it's not, it's at the top left of the pixel. If 
you zoom in, logically 0x0 should be at the top left of the square 
that represents the zoomed-in pixel.

But shouldn't that be the case with end-points of lines too?

To illustrate it:

view layout [i: image black effect [draw [line-width 4 line-cap round 
pen white line 30x20 80x20 pen none fill-pen white circle 20x20 2 
pen white line 30x40 80x40 translate 0.5 0.5 pen none fill-pen white 
circle 20x40 2]] image (i/size * 5) (to-image i)]

Top looks wrong, bottom is correct (and need translate).

Even easier to see with a line-width of 2:
(Maybe I should report it to RAMBO? Is it a bug?)

view layout [i: image black effect [draw [line-width 2 line-cap round 
pen white line 30x20 80x20 pen none fill-pen white circle 20x20 1 
pen white line 30x40 80x40 translate 0.5 0.5 pen none fill-pen white 
circle 20x40 1]] image (i/size * 5) (to-image i)]

I agree, that seems to be an inconsistency. Cyphre is probably aware 
of it, but worth a bug report. If you have some time maybe compare 
with other commands, too.

It is arguable which one is wrong, though, the line or the circle.

Bug report sent.


I'm spending the day making a DPaint kind of program in REBOL. Will 
release the work so far later today.

Geomol that's great! Will it support animation? ;)

and animbrushes?

One step at a time! :-)

My DPaint clone "Canvas" version 0.1. It's a few hours of work, around 
150 lines of code. Only REBOL makes it possible! :-) There's some 
way to a full DPaint clone, but it's a good start.


Instructions here: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/canvas/canvas.html
Canvas here: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/canvas/canvas.r

great stuff! but drawing is a bit slow here. would it be an idea 
to limit mouse input to a certain amount per second?

Yes, that could be a solution.
Is it also slow, if you turn anti-alias off? Hit 'a'!

it seems to be about the same speed

That's very cool G. Works really well on my PC.

Works well here as well, nice job.

Geomol: regarding AGG in ALIASED mode: I'm working on improvements 
in this mode so the graphic shoudl be 'pixel precise'.

Good to know, Cyphre. And thanks guys! Preciate it. I hope, this 
'little' project will turn out well. I need a DPaint program to do 
the graphics for a phone-game, I'm involved in.

Geomol: impressive !!!
