[REBOL] Re: How to extend effects?

From: rotenca:telvia:it at: 19-Mar-2003 16:31

Hi,

No, but in this case you could do: my-effect: func [img] [ repeat pos (img/size/x * img/size/y) [ poke img pos either odd? pos [255.255.255.0][0.0.0.0] ] img ] view layout [image effect [draw [image 0x0 my-effect img]]]

Effects are words of a dialect interpreted by View. The effect word Draw handles a sub-dialect in a block: the advantage of Draw sub-dialect is that it is reduced before interpreted, so it can contain Rebol code, like in the example. --- Ciao Romano
