I can't seem to get AreaEllipse to work reliably. It either leaves stray dots in various places around the window, or draws mutant circles with bits sticking out everywhere. I have initialised both AreaInfo and TmpRas etc. but the problem prevails. Is this just a 'feature' of AreaEllipse or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance Kevin

Try clearing the AreaInfo to all 0's before doing your AreaXxxx commands. I believe there was a bug in 1.2 with AreaEllipse not dealing well with other stuff in the array. Maybe bart or spence will comment (they know gfx far better than I do). -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.

We would need more info for this. What KickStart version are you using? Could you either post some source code which shows the problem here, or email it to me please. > >Thanks in advance > >Kevin -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spencer Shanson - Amiga Software Engineer | email: spence@commodore.COM | or uunet!cbmvax!spence All opinions expressed are my own, and do not | "A picture is worth 1000 (necessarily) represent those of Commodore. | words, or about 300,000 | bytes."
