[aus.mac] Hypercard - Can't automate Polygon tool

tom@wcc.oz (Tom Evans) (11/28/88)

I have a data base (400 polygons) of the Space Shuttle, and have
written a HyperCard stack to display them. BUT...

I can't drive the polygon tool from a script. The line, pencil, brush,
rectangle and curve tools work fine. The polygon does zilch.

Is this a non-feature or what? Have I run out of memory again?

Is there an access method rather than "click at x,y" and "drag....."?

p.s. Can I "drag from x1, y1 to x2,y2 to x3,y3..." somehow?

No, I can't draw it with line and then bucket-fill it. Some of the
polygons are edge-on and I end up filling the universe or the border.
