<DIV>Ken,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for sharing these functions about imageData, etc....they were
always in the arena of "when I might have some time"...but now they are quite
within my grasp!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Two items:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>1. The order that you had in your example for making the 50% transparent
blue image:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000 size=+2>repeat with i = 1 to
400<BR> put binaryEncode("CCCC",255,0,0,0) after
iData<BR> put binaryEncode("C",128) after
aData<BR> end repeat</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>did not work for me on my Mac, using 2.3.2</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I had to switch the order:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000 size=+2>repeat with i = 1 to
400</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000
size=+2> put binaryEncode("CCCC",0,0,0,255) after
iData</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000
size=+2> put binaryEncode("C",128) after
aData</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" color=#000000 size=+2> end
repeat</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>2. Just for fun - I added a red-to-blue gradient..you can add to your
page if you so desire!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>(this is for a 16 x 16 image - will require some more calculations for
other images)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>repeat with i = 1 to 256<BR> put
binaryEncode("CCCC",0,min(i,255),0,max(255,255-i)) after
iData<BR> put binaryEncode("C",128) after aData</DIV>
<DIV> end repeat</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again - your work is most appreciated!</DIV>
