MObject color and lineColor

What is the difference between the color and lineColor of an MObject such as an MPolyline?  If I set the color to red but the lineColor is already set to black, then the object appears black, not red.  Why?

Hi Bob,

My colleague Eva is on holiday until Monday, she will answer to you as soon as she is back.

Hi Bob,


In MPolyline the object is drawn with the "color" unless "lineColor" is

set. Thus if "lineColor" is defined, "color" has no more meaning in

case of MPolyline/MRectangle/MEllipse/MBracket etc. It has only sense

in case of MTextBox, where "color" is  the color of the text, 

"lineColor" is the color of the bounding rectangle. 


Best,
Eva

If color and lineColor have distinct meanings only for MTextbox, then I suggest you use only one of them for all MPolyline classes other than MTextbox.  In other words, have setColor() simply call setLineColor(). The way you have it now is extremely confusing.

I note that the GUI allows the user to set the lineColor of an MPolyline, not the color.

 

Thank you for the advice, you have absolutely right. At the moment it

works, but as soon as the company will have capacity to solve all these

problems,  it will make an effort to do that. Thanks again,


Sincerely,


Eva
