Short: PGS3 arexx script - make fuzzy shadows Uploader: Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) Author: Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) Type: text/dtp Replaces: text/dtp/FuzzyShadows.lha Version: V1.09 (19. Oct 1999) ABOUT This is an ARexx script for use with PageStream3. It tries to append a so called "fuzzy shadow" to the selected object Just select a single object (text or picture/drawing) and call the script. DISTRIBUTION spread it! use it! _write me!_ REQUIREMENTS - PageStream3 (of course!!!) - an object! USAGE * create a new script in you PageStream page palette. The content of the script should be: 'rx "Scripts/FuzzyShadows.rexx"'. * insert a second script with parameter QUICK ('rx "Scripts/FuzzyShadows.rexx QUICK"') * select an object and play the script. The second one will not open the prefs window but start FuzzyShadows directly. Good for mass shadows. * loooook!!! HISTORY V1.01 (21. March 1998) * first public release V1.02 (21. March 1998) * multiple object support! just select more than one object and all of them will be fuzzy shadowed with the selected settings. * for line strokes you can now add measures like mm, cm, in, ... just everything pagestream supports. * added a busy requester. So the interface of PageStream3 is now locked during operation. The generation of shadows can be stopped. * fixed bug which prevents the line strokes and stepnumbers to be calculated correctly. This works ok now. V1.03 (10. June 1998) (12. June 1998) * added "Load", "Save As" and "Save Default" buttons for the prefs! * when started with the "quick" option a prefs filename can now be given, too. (e.g. "rx FuzzyShadowMaker.rexx QUICK 'PageStream3:Scripts/Fuzzy2.prefs'") * Aminet release V1.04 (13. June 1998) * changed name to FuzzyShadows.rexx * corrected EMail address V1.05 (17. June 1998) * color names were not allowed with spaces -> fixed! V1.06 (18. June 1998) * added check gadget to allow user to turn the window off while drawing. Faster! V1.07 (02. August 1998) * added check gadget to allow user to treat pictres like a box. This will not copy and change the fill/line of the picture but use a simple box instead. (thanks to Igor Cizmar for the tip) V1.08 (10. October 1998) * Thanks to the new PageStream V3.4 it is now possible to show the colors defined in PageStream3. Added this feature as cycle gadget. * removed the obsolete "SELECTOBJECT NONE" commands (thanks to PageStream V3.4) * Thanks to the new GoldED 5 now full tab support in the scripts! 8-) V1.09 (19. October 1998) * The HIDEWINDOW flag now is saved in the prefsfile (Ron Goertz) * The busy requester noew updates while objects are prepared and not only in between (Ron Goertz) AUTHOR Michael Merkel (MiMe@IRC) Michael.Merkel@gmx.net (Michael Merkel) http://home.t-online.de/home/Merkel.Michael/ THANKS TO SoftLogik for this wonderful program!
