Title: Parameters for shapescripts
Post by: Martin Terreni on December 09, 2008, 08:27:44 pm
I would like to be able to use numeric tagged values as parameters for the shapescript, so I can write something like "defsize($TagdefX,$TagdefY)" or alike.
This could be an incredible push for doing UI in EA, since this will enable us to create our own stencils with sizes acording to font, or grids with changable number of culumns and such.

I agree.  Implementation of variables - whether you pass them in as parameters for the object being manipulated by the shape script, or you can query within the shape script (such as "valueof()" or similar mechanism to RTF fields) and apply conditional logic would be very useful
