- Book 'n Box!
-
- Two Arexx scripts for OpalPaint v1.1 by Carmen Rizzolo - 11/13/92
-
-
-
- These scripts are nearly useless. They're a nice novelty (Brag
- how fast you can draw a book, and make bets! :) ) and it was a nice way
- for me to get my feet wet with using OpalPaint with Arexx.
- The Box script was merely a spawning from the Book script. And
- it's even more useless than the Book script!
-
- -- INSTALLATION -----------------------------------------------------
-
- Carefully copy the two scripts (Book.oprx and Box.oprx) into your
- Rexx: directory. If you're using Workbench 2.0 and don't know where
- your Rexx: directory is, you'll find it doubles are your S:
- directory. I made a seperate drawer and altered the assignment
- because I've got lots 'o Arexx scripts and I didn't want to clutter
- my S: directory.
-
- Then, in OpalPaint 1.x, click on the "Arexx Control" button in
- the Extras area. Click on a field and enter "Book.oprx" in one, and
- "Box.oprx" in another. Then when you're back in paint mode, hit
- Amiga- Fn (Or whatever F-key you assigned the script to) and just
- follow the intructions. Couldn't be easier! Have fun!
-
- -- A WORD ABOUT SHADOWS ---------------------------------------------
-
- I took special attention on the part of the script(s) that deal
- with drawing a drop shadow. In most cases, Only a portion of the
- drop shadow is visible when the drawing is complete. So ONLY THAT
- PORTION is drawn, unless the shadow is so far away that the object
- doesn't doesn't overlap. This is a bit of a time saver.
- Unless I looking hard enough, there isn't a way for Arexx to
- alter the Transparency percentage (Someone PLEEEZ tell me what it
- is if they find it!). So before you activate the script(s),
- you might want to manually go in there and adjust it to taste.
- I like it around 75. The default of 50 is a little too salty for me.
