When working with clipregions one has to keep in mind the absolute positions to draw to. Would it be possible to Select an Clipregion and use it e.g. like SelectBrush()?

And another goodie would be becoming able to get metadata of an existing Clipregion, like size and position via GetAttribute().

Thanks a lot.

Probably not. But it's easy to do it yourself. Just write a convenience function, e.g.

Code: Select all

Function p_MyDisplayBrush(id, x, y)
    DisplayBrush(id, x + CLIPREG_X, y + CLIPREG_Y)
EndFunction

And done

Ok, makes sense. I've just implemented it. Your wish is my command
