Type

property

Summary

Specifies the shape used for painting with the Spray Can tool.

Syntax

set the spray to {<brushID> | <imageID>}

Description

Use the spray property to specify which shape is painted by the Spray Can tool.

The entire painted area of the brush is used as the spray can shape. The shape painted by the spray can is drawn in the brushColor, regardless of what colors might be in the image used for the spray can shape.

When the Spray Can tool is in use, the cursor is the same as the spray can shape. You can use any size image as a spray can, but the cursor may appear distorted on some systems if the image is not 16x16 pixels.

Examples

set the spray to 30

Value

Name	Type	Description
value		The spray 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 painting with the spray can. LiveCode looks for the specified image first in the current stack, then in other open stacks. By default, the spray is set to 34 (a round splatter pattern).
