Covering lines with a fill

Anonymous — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:11:47 GMT

Hi guys,

I don't know if I'm too tired but I can't figure this out. I know I can use "Poly" in 2D script, and bring to front in plan to have my object obscure what's behind it. What I want to do is....New Object..Draw a line, then, place a fill in the script to cover a portion of that line in plan. I figured if I drew the line first then added the "Poly"(sort of bring to front to place the poly on top of the line) that it would work. I haven't had any luck. Maybe it's time for bed!

Any thoughts?

Doug

Hello Doug,
I think what you are looking for is the 2D script directive "DRAWINDEX".
It does not have it's own page number in the GDL manual index but it's
description is on the page for "drawing order definition".
Be careful to reset the drawindices to their default values for each element
after you have changed them for your purpose.

Hi Peter,

Ignore the PM, I got it. It took a couple of minutes but I see how it works now.

Thanks,

Doug
