- Hello all,
-
- Enclosed in this archive are several useful ARexx scripts (and a picture)
- for OpalPaint v2.0 and above. I have also included the "Bevell" bevel box
- ARexx script for those who don't already have it, plus a few simple
- variations on the script. All of these scripts should be copied into the
- "OpalPaint:Rexx" directory.
-
- Contents of archive:
-
- OpalSystem.jpg
- --------------
- A picture created mostly by some of the ARexx scripts in this archive.
- The bevels & "fuzzy" drop shadows were created with the "AskBevell" and
- "DropShadow" scripts described below. Unfortunately, some of the quality
- has been lost in the JPEG process, but you can still get the idea.
-
- Bevell.oprx
- -----------
- Creates an automatic bevelled box. To use, just assign to a key in
- OpalPaint and draw a rectangle of the desired size when prompted. Be sure
- to select your color BEFORE drawing the rectangle.
-
- AskBevell.oprx
- --------------
- A simple variant of the Bevell.oprx script that asks for the depth, in
- pixels, of the bevel before drawing the box. The regular bevel script uses
- a default of 10 pixels, this script figures out the maximum bevel depth and
- presents you with a slider for depth.
-
- Bevel+Stencil.oprx
- ------------------
- Same as above, but also draws the bevel area into the stencil mask.
-
- DropShadow.oprx
- ---------------
- Creates automatic drop shadows for brushes, with optional feathering for
- soft-edged shadows and selectable transparency for the shadow. See the
- separate readme file for further details.
-
- ScalePage.oprx
- --------------
- Gives user-definable page scaling in OpalPaint, preserving the aspect
- ratio. The script gives three options: Percentage scale, which presents a
- simple slider which will scale the current page by a specified percentage;
- scale to width, which asks for a new page width in pixels and scales the
- height proportionally; and scale to height, which asks for a new page
- height in pixels and scales the width proportionally. The new page size is
- presented after typing in the values, if it is not to your liking, simply
- cancel the requester and run the script again by its macro key. This script
- was created mainly because I hated having to leave OpalPaint to run ADPro
- or ImageFX just to scale an image proportionally.
-
- SetSpare.oprx
- --------------
- Actually, four scripts, called SetSpare1.oprx, SetSpare2.oprx, etc. These
- are extremely simple scripts that set one of the spare draw modes as the
- current draw mode. I find this very useful because I always keep the
- incredibly handy "Balance" draw mode in Spare1, but I hate having to go to
- the Modes requester everytime I need to access it; so, I assigned
- SetSpare1.oprx to Control-F1 for easy access to the Balance mode (two
- keystrokes).
