Live Mapping: The Drawing Tools

Monsen

This time around I intend to dig a bit deeper into CC3+'s drawing tools, and show how you can do all kind of fun stuff with them.

Who said drawing tools were just for drawing? (well... I guess I'll focus mostly on the drawing kind during the stream)

Stream will happen at Thursday March 10th, 1800 hours CET. (Click the video or see the forum sidebar to figure out the time in your time zone)

And yes, it is actually two blank lines at the end of that one. You may wonder why, since I spesifically said "only one line" in the video, but this is an exception, because the SPOLY command is actually split over multiple lines here, and the first blank line isn't repeating this command in this case, it is empty to signal no more coordinates, done drawing. But if I had added an extra, third line, here, then it would have tried to repeat SPOLY again, requesting coordinates from the user.

Marvelous live mapping session - thank you :)

How did you create the cat macro it in the first place, Remy?

Monsen

Easy enough. Started with a clipart png of a cat, used TRACED to convert it into a polygon, then used list on it and extracted the coordinates. Some simple excel magic to convert them into relative coordinates so I could place it where I wanted, and then just created a macro with the SPOLY command that reads the coordinates.

Loopysue

Ah ha!

Thank you very much. I might just make myself one to do a personalised mark for myself :)
