Going round in circles..

[clueless]

Hi I'm hoping there's a maths expert around here.lol. What id like to do is plot 360 X,y points around a circle (or maybe 180 if the circle is small). I think AMS has the maths functions to do this.

thanks.. thats exactly what i was looking for

That is a very useful bit of script, i had a play about and extended it into a function for creating multi-sided shapes in images (hexagon , pentagon..etc)..

function DrawMultiSidedShape( fName, nLineColor , nLineThickness , nCenterX , nCenterY , nRadius , nSides )

local inc     = 0;
local StartX  = 0; --  Start of line co-ordinates.
local StartY  = 0;
local EndX    = 0; -- end of line co-ordinates.
local EndY    = 0;
local LastX   = 0;
local LastY   = 0;

image.Open( fName );
local w = 2 * math.pi / nSides;

for inc = 1 , nSides do
    if inc == 1 then
       StartX = nCenterX + nRadius * Math.Cos( w * ( inc - 1 ) );
       StartY = nCenterY + nRadius * Math.Sin( w * ( inc - 1 ) ); 
       LastX  = StartX; 
       LastY  = StartY;
    else
       EndX = nCenterX + nRadius * Math.Cos( w * ( inc - 1 ) );
       EndY = nCenterY + nRadius * Math.Sin( w * ( inc - 1 ) );
       PixDrawLine( nLineColor , nLineThickness  , StartX , StartY , EndX , EndY );
       StartX = EndX;  
       StartY = EndY;
       end
    end
image.DrawLine( nLineColor , nLineThickness  , StartX , StartY , LastX , LastY );
image.Save()    
end

I used Ssides Image.dll to draw the line. This script could easily be adapted from here to make all sorts of 'Spirograph' style shapes.

Could you post an example of this.
Sounds intresting , but I can't get it to work.

Thanks,

No problems.

[AudioSam]

Thanks alot Clueless.
I'm about to have a look at it.
I didn't know if it was top secret or not....

Looked at it and had time to edit..

Very nice.
I can see what you mean.
All types of effects are possible with this.
I'll mess with this a few days now..

Thanks and have a nice day,

Ive been making an animation/image editor , this was from one of the drawing functions. Im going to try to extend it into a vector line function next but with the main image,marquee selection,grid overlays,calculating snap to grid,shapes,zoom and changing the cursor when over handles for movable objects in the image im finding it harder and harder to squeeze it all into a single screen refresh without the program slowing down.lol

I'm looking at it now.
I am thinking about active to curent volume.
Volume low, small shape to a little larger shape and color.
Volume moves up, a larger shape to a little larger shape and color.

I guess colors are
red
green
blue
black
yellow
purple

I'm messing around with the colors right now.

Thanks again,
Audiosam

Thanks for a very nice example.

I wonder how to get the shape rotate? I know bits of vector maths but not much.

[clueless]

lol.. that wasnt so difficult

[AudioSam]

I'm just checking in to see what you have going.
I'll go across and download your latest.
Nothing better than new toys..
I like the first apz .
You might have already known, there were a few
things to correct as far as the enable buttons.
I was messing with that before I got side tracked.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
A lot of the things you post are over my head.
This one I like and I can understand it.

Thanks Clueless,
AudioSam

Good job Clueless...
Unlimited graphics tricks with this toy..
I'll be messing with this for awhile.
Mix a few colors in and mess with timer actions..
Bad ,Cool, and Wicked all in one.
I like music apps and graphics so this is
something I like alot.

Here's one a little more animated. Im having fun with this

[AudioSam]

Yeah,,,,
Looks like lots of possibilities..
I'm messing with it as well.
Got something pretty good going here.
I'll look at what you just posted.
I know it's going to be good already..

Of course you got it going, I'm just using what you started... lol
AudioSam

Looking at it now!!!! GreaTTTT !!!!
Got Kid Rock going, looking at the shapes....
Can't top this...
Xcelent Clueless...
Man this is the shi~!!!!!
