I'm a one week newbie on Euphoria so I may be running ahead of myself
but I am having trouble getting the truecolor library to work. I've run
the trutwnkl.ex demo and that seems to work with random coloured dots
appearing on the screen. I've also installed the updated truecolr.ex
and run the setup ex to run in 640 x 480.
I thought I would try my own code but what appears on the screen isn't
what I would expect. The code is:-
----------code begin------------
include truecolr.e
atom delay
InitDisplay()
--let the display "settle" from the mode switch
delay = time() + 0.7 --seconds
while time()<delay do
--some yawning, stretching, scratching... etc...
end while
true_circle({200,200}, 1, {255,255,255})
true_pixel({100,100},{255,255,255})
true_line(150,300,100,150,TrueBlue)
--------------code end--------------
What I get on the screen for the circle and the line are diagonal dots
placed across the screen not a circle or a line. This also applied with
code I used for the filled box. I assume the origin {0,0} is the top
left corner because if it is the true_pixel code didn't seem to work as
it placed the pixel way over on the right of the screen. I've also run
Irv Mullins code which produced diagonal lines for the boxes and a
screen of lots of closely packed lines for the clouds.bmp.
Can anybody provide any clues to what I'm doing wrong.
