- How about a multi plot that can do a whole box? Say, something like:
-
- Multi Plot x1,y1 To x2,y2,A
-
- And how about commands which can insert and delete elements in an array
- quickly. Obviously not resize it, just shift the data about. It would
- be far more efficient and less cumbersome than the normal AMOS method.
- The command could be:
-
- Array Insert Array(n()),n
-
- Or something like that. I'm not totally sure about the AMOS Array()
- function, but it seems to be the only way of doing such things with
- extensions.
-
- A command I would find occasionally useful would be something that pastes
- a bob image down, at a zoomed down ratio. eg
-
- Paste Zoomed Bob n,x1,y1 To x2,y2
-
- So this:
-
- Paste Zoomed Bob 4,100,100 To 120,130
-
- Would paste bob 4, resizing it to fit into the specified box. With support
- for masks if possible.
-
- The current alternative method to this is to open a new screen, Paste Bob
- on to it, Zoom it down, Get Bob it and Paste Bob it on the original screen.
- Rather a messy and slow method, I'm sure you'll agree.
