Summary
Specifies the shape used for the Eraser paint tool.
Syntax
set the eraser to {<brushID> | <imageID>}
Description
Use the eraser property to specify which shape is painted by the Eraser tool.
The entire area of the eraser cursor is used as the eraser shape. The shape erased by the eraser is cleared to transparent, regardless of what colors might be in the image used for the eraser shape.
When the Eraser tool is in use, the cursor is the same as the eraser shape. You can use any size image as an eraser, but the cursor may appear distorted on some systems if the image is not 16x16 pixels.
Examples
set the eraser to 12

value | The eraser is a brush specifier. A brushID is a built-in brush number between 1 and 36. (These brushes correspond to LiveCode's built-in patterns 101 to 136.) An imageID is the ID of an image to use for erasing. LiveCode looks for the specified image first in the current stack, then in other open stacks. By default, the eraser is set to 2 (a square eraser). |
