Hi,

Is there a manual on using the Paint Tools? Can't find it referenced in 
the Documentation. Actually is there a Rev manual or how-to book that 
covers drawing graphics?

I have a HC script that draws geometric patterns according to math 
calculations. Works great in HC but the pencil tool does not draw in Rev 
(or if it does I can't see the result). The pencil will draw in a new 
stack but not on this imported HC stack. I don't think I understand how 
Rev draws, hence the need for a simple manual or how-to instructions. 
Here's the script:

on mouseUp
 
  send mouseUp to cd button "Erase Graphic" --clear any pre-existing image
  put cd fld "b" into b
  put cd fld "e" into e --value of e
  put b+e into d        --value of d
  put d into cd fld "d"
  put e+d into a        --value of a
  put a into cd fld "a"
 
  put 100 into H --StartHorz
  put 100 into V --StartVert
  if a > 200 then
    answer "Put smaller number into field b or e"
    exit mouseUp
  end if
  choose rect tool
  set filled to true
  set pattern to 12
  drag from H,V to H+b,V+d -- draw J
  set pattern to 22
  drag from H+b,V to H+a+b,V+d -- draw K
  choose pencil tool
  drag from H+d,V to H+d,V+d
  set filled to false
  set pattern to 1
  choose browse tool
  put "J = bd" && "=" && b*d into cd fld x
  put "K = ad" && "=" && a*d into cd fld y
  put b*d && "+" && a*d && "=" && (b*d)+(a*d) && "=" && "2D" into cd fld 
result1
 
end mouseUp
