[ALLY] Face/saved-area Re:

 [1/3] from: jimg::rebol::com at: 31-Aug-2000 17:10


Hi Allen, If you set saved-area to true within a face, it will save the bits under the face the first time it is rendered. Subsequent renderings of the face will use the saved bits that are stored as an image! in the saved-area field in the face. If you change the underlying image, you will need to reset the saved-area field to true before doing the show with the new image. Note that saved-area only applies to faces with transparency of some sort. In VID at present, the saved-area is set to true for radio buttons, hot text and icon text. - jim At 09:33 AM 9/1/2000 +1000, you wrote:

In the `ABOUT REBOL/VIEW' text it says one of the new features is -Face/saved-area can be set to cache bits under face Is there a switch to turn this on as the default from user.r ? Cheers, Allen K

Thanks Jim. Is there anything affecting the speed of area field in VID? I know for Petr and I it is slow on our machines to type into when Area is large. You can actually watch the REBOL catch up to your typing speed. Last night I tried view on another machine (not sure of the speed). And on that machine the typing lag was not noticible, so I thought there might have been a flag in the new install user.r that made the difference. Maybe it is just a machine speed and Windows issue (typing in BeOS on the same machine seems fast enough) Cheers, Allen K
