<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am attempting to place a background on a page which is intended for printing. As a raster image, ths size of this graphic (at 300 dpi) seems to be too much for Eevolution to handle. In addition, since there does seem to be any way of "scaling" the development environment windows, manipulating a window which contains such an image seems very difficult.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As a result of this (please correct me if any of my above statements are incorrect), I have decided to instead use vector-based graphics for the background. So I began using the drawing tools inside of Revolution to design my background and this worked fine, it printed out nicely and everything is coming along nicely.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>However, I am no artist and the existing graphics are already in a vector-based format. At first I was going to write the parser for one of these vector formats inside of Revolution itself, but then I realized that this would be overkill.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What I would now like to do is create a file with a slew of "Revolution" instructions for resizing and drawing and resizing a stack. I have successfully created this file and created a button for locating the file and reading it in, but I have no idea how to actually get Revolution to execute the commands. The commands are something like this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>--set the height and width of the stack</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>set the height of this stack to 612</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>set the width of this stack to 792</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>--graphic 1</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>create graphic "graphic1"</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>set the height of graphic "graphic1" to 1</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>set the width of graphic "graphic1" to 792</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>move graphic "graphic1" to 1,10</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cutting and pasting the text of the script seems very inelegant to me and I want it to basically be able to read this file one line at a time executing each command in turn....</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks as always!</FONT>
