Just uploaded a slightly updated version of the "Seamless Tiles
Generator 2" to
<http://www.sanke.org/Software/SeamlessTiles2.zip>
See the descriptions on page "Sample Stacks" on my website
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>.
Among other things this stack features an improved resizable and
draggable selection graphic that lets you choose a segment of any size
from the imported source image to create a seamless tile.
The ink of the selection graphic needed to be adapted both to the
differences between Windows and MacOS and the stackfileversions 2.4 and 2.7.
With engine versions < 2.7 we need "admin" for MacOS and "srcAnd" for
Windows. For engine versions 2.7 and higher "srccopy" is necessary for
both platforms to show a transparent graphic.
Moreover, I have changed the stack extension from "*.mc" to "*.rev", to
enable users of Rev 3.0 to see and load the stack.
See the quote of my earlier post (to the Metacard- and Improve-lists)
concerning this special problem:
