Depending on what you're after, using View's Draw dialect may be the way to go... view layout [ b: box black 400x200 effect [draw[]] button "Add Box" [ append b/effect/draw reduce [ 'pen random 255.255.255 'fill-pen random 255.255.255 'box random 399x199 random 399x199 ] show b ] ] Each click of the button there adds a box and its color definitions to b's 'draw block, and with it being a block, you can add and remove its contents at will, not to mention adding lines, circles, polygons, text and images too. -- Carl Read
