#IPAS PXP GFX_
2 messages in this thread
Hi Jonas,
I have some questions about the IPAS 4
GFX Graphic functions:
. gfx_poll_mouse() doesn't seem to update the GFXComm
buffer unless I also call gfx_mouse_scrn().
. What is the relationship between the GFXComm mouse_x,y units
and the gfx_line() screen coordinates?
. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the "zoom" in a
viewport. gfx_viewports() will get ViewportInfo but what will
set it?
. ItemData name field seems limited to 8 charectors.
Also is there an equivelent (unsupported?) to the ACAD PEDIT
function?
I was glad to hear of the NT port, How do I get on the Beta site list?
Thanks,
Don Oberthur

Hi Don,

Mouse questions came up during IPAS3 and Tom Hudson provided the following file
for developers that answered many mouse questions..

Title: Mouse coords displayed in a PXP
Keys: IPAS3 IPAS PXP MOUSE COORDS GFX
Display mouse coordinates of a moving mouse. Useful PXP demonstrating several
gfx_* (graphic function description) calls.

I believe that it is intended as a read only. Note the description on pg 150
under gfx_viewports that states …"This information can be used by
applications that want to emulate the viewport …."
<< ItemData name field seems limited to 8 charectors. >>
Is this based on running tests on ..\examples\pxp\mover\mover.c,
..\examples\pxp\r4tst1\r4tst1.c or even using the uploaded LTUTIL?

There are no IPAS functions that deal with DXF entities.

The beta program for Registered developers is still under construction. I will
be posting additional data over the next few months in the closed developer
section when I receive it.
