Hello,
I've slowly (<-- key word) been working my way up to graphics handling. =
I tried before, but there was too much I didn't understand. Now, I'm =
working with the basics, but something is bothering me. Euphoria is fast =
and therefore displays graphics fast. Is there a way to slow things =
down? Here's what I mean:
include graphics.e=20
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,0}})
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,12}})
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,24}})
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,36}})
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,48}})
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,72}})
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,94}})
=20
I'm displaying different lines but, they are displayed too quickly. Can =
I have a half second (or more/less) interval between them?
-Thanks=20

Hi Thomas,
try including this little wait routine...
-------------------------------------
procedure fWait(atom pInterval)
-------------------------------------
-- This procedure just waits for the number of
-- seconds supplied in the parameter.
atom lEndTime
lEndTime = time() + pInterval
while lEndTime > time() do
end while
end procedure
include graphics.e
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,0}})
fWait(0.25)
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,12}})
fWait(0.25)
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,24}})
fWait(0.25)
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,36}})
fWait(0.25)
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,48}})
fWait(0.25)
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,72}})
fWait(0.25)
draw_line(1,{{1,1},{80,94}})
fWait(0.25)

Hello,

tried before, but there was too much I didn't understand. Now, I'm working
with the basics, but something is bothering me. Euphoria is fast and
therefore displays graphics fast. Is there a way to slow things down? Here's
