      Hello,

      I’m trying to create a fill object that I can adjust the points of the fill to wherever I want them. I also want to be able to adjust the curved sides.

      Is it possible to achieve this with my script? I’d like to use a length hotspot to adjust the curve. Any help would be appreciated.

      poly2_b{5}      13,      3,      0,      3,      19,      19, 
                         0,            0,            1,            0,            0,            1,            0, 
      
                         posx1,            posy1,      1, 
              		   mposx1,          mposy1,    900, 
                         0,         -180,   4001,
       
              		   posx2,          posy2,      1, 
              		 mposx2,          mposy2,    900, 
                         0,         -180,   4001,
       
              		 posx3,          posy3,      1, 
              		 mposx3,          mposy3,    900, 
                         0,         -180,   4001,
       
              		 posx4, 			 posy4,      1, 
              		 mposx4, 			 mposy4,    900, 
                         0,         -180,   4001,
       
                         posx1,            posy1,      1

      FYI Master Script

      mposx1 = ((posx1+posx2)/2)
      mposx2 = ((posx2+posx3)/2)
      mposx3 = ((posx3+posx4)/2)
      mposx4 = ((posx4+posx1)/2)
      parameters mposx1=mposx1, mposx2=mposx2, mposx3=mposx3, mposx4=mposx4
      
      mposy1 = ((posy1+posy2)/2)
      mposy2 = ((posy2+posy3)/2)
      mposy3 = ((posy3+posy4)/2)
      mposy4 = ((posy4+posy1)/2)
      parameters mposy1=mposy1, mposy2=mposy2, mposy3=mposy3, mposy4=mposy4

      And the pos values are as follows –
      posx1 = 0
      posx2 = 0
      posx3 = 200
      posx4 = 200
      posy1 = 0
      posy2 = 200
      posy3 = 200
      posy4 = 0

      Thanks

      Hello,

      all the points you want to adjust have to be parameters. Simply code them as editable hotspots.

        I know that but I don’t actually know how to implement the adjustable curves into my fill with adjustable parameters – at present changing the ‘-180’ values which are the curves don’t do what I want them to do.

      The method I want to use to be able to adjust the curve is have a centre point half way between the 2 points and then set the distance from the centre point to the arc – Is this possible to do in a fill and if so, how can I do it?

      There is no direct way of doing it with a status code, you have to calculate the angle and the centerpoint of the arc, or the tangent of the arc.
      The BasicGeometry macro in the library can do the centerpoint calculation.

        Do you have a working example of this in use?
        That would be very useful!

          There is an example object that can be downloaded at the top of the linked page.

      A status code for 3-point arc would greatly appreciated. E.g.:

      archHgt = 1'
      
      0, 0, 15,
      A, 0, 15,
      A, B - archHgt, 5179,
      A/2, B, 5279,
      0, B - archHgt, 5315,
      0, 0, -1
