Hi Andreas,

Would it be possible for you to add a directional function, perhaps something like this...

Code: Select all

NAME:
Align()

SYNOPSIS:
Align(direction, placement)

FUNCTION:
This is a function to give more flexibility to the placement of objects (#BRUSH, #BRUSHPART, #LAYER, #TEXTOBJECTS,#ANIM) when they are displayed.

INPUTS :
direction---either #CENTER (centers the object either horizontally or vertically), or #OPPEDGE (uses the opposite edge of the object for alignment---either the Bottom edge or the Right edge)
placement---depending on the specified direction, either an X or Y variable

EXAMPLE:
DisplayBrush(1, Align(#CENTER, 250), Align(#OPPEDGE, 300)

This would display brush 1 centered at x=250 (left edge at 200 if the brush's width is 100) and having its bottom edge at y=300 (top edge at 200 if the brush's height is 100)

Thank you for your consideration.

I will consider it for a future update. At least this won't give me any headaches to implement. And writing the documentation for it will probably take me longer than writing the code

Until then, this function could of course be very easily written in Hollywood itself, as a simple p_Align() function!
