My Kernal ROM book (1986: Commodore Electronics) says about the same thing, p47. NEVERTHELESS, if you use mode=0 in the way you described, the color spills past the border consistantly. Try it. I am writing a paint program as an exercise. I am creating nearly identical versions of the program…

Larry; What you say is of course true. Perhaps I should refer to this as a "feature" of AmigaBASIC, rather than a bug. Still, it makes life difficult, as one does not always know what is the border color of an object to be filled (as in a paint program,…

Ah! Your suggestion was very useful. I found that the following sequence will "fill without spill" from some mouse location (mx,my) to a border of any color: RP&=WINDOW(8) RP& is pointer to rast port mx=MOUSE(1):my=MOUSE(2) mouse location CALL SetAPen&(RP&,currcolor) currcolor has been set previously AREA(mx,my) is AREA command necessary so…

I am providing only the paint fill color. The object border color is optional. (As I understand the manual). When I provide the proper object border color, or that border color happens to match the fill color, then PAINT works properly. It is only when the object border color is…
