Short: Yet more simple scripts for DrawStudio Author: odin@dcs.qmw.ac.uk (Andrew Elia) Uploader: odin dcs qmw ac uk (Andrew Elia) Type: util/rexx Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is another small collection of some of my attempts at bashing out ARexx scripts for the excellent Drawstudio. They're slightly more advanced than some of my earlier attempts, but the interface to them is still a little (OK, a lot) naff. They may prove useful for people who would like to learn a bit more about writing such scripts, but be warned that they are pretty clumsily-written. IMPORTANT! Some of these scripts require rexxmathlib.library (available from Aminet sites at util/rexx/RexxMathLib.lha or on Aminet CD 16). * 3DPie - This is one of the prettiest scripts you'll find in this particular volume. As the name suggests, it will produce a simple 3D pie chart based upon a set of values it reads in from a file. As for the 2D version, you are able to pick up individual slices and move them about. This is particularly effective with translucent fills. * NewBarGraph - A significantly improved version of the original histogram script. It too will read values in from a file, but this time it will also label the axis and draw the values on the scale. It also supports standard error bars, and to make things slightly easier to adjust, it will group common elements together to make colouring them much easier. * LineGraph - This is derived from the bar graph script and so has much of the same features. Additionally, it will allow you to view individual points. * Table - Probably the most useful script of them all. It's far from perfect, but given a file containing the data (with appropriate formatting information), it is possible to produce nice tables with less hassle than normal. It allows left, centre, and right justification. Additionally, it supports vertical alignment, but this isn't really anything special when it comes to dealing with tall characters. * NewGrid - Some small refinements for my original grid script. This time, you can choose to group rows or columns together. Nothing special. Oh, and if you don't already have DrawStudio and just happen to be browsing at this ReadMe file for no apparent reason, the go out and buy it now! Seriously, we don't often get new commercial talent in these hard times, so please give the demo a try or something and support new Amiga development. Andrew Elia
