Full Version: Grid showing with snap shot

Show messages: All  1-5  6-12

Hi Michael,
Double click has got rid of the grid, many thanks.
Screen shot prints onto a grey background and I would prefer a white background for printout. The "hold down Ctrl and/or shift" did nothing thjat I could tell, still grey background.

I could not find the Moi sub folder in the Applications support folder.

Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim, the "Library" folder is hidden by default so it can be a bit tricky.

From the Mac finder try going to the "Go" menu on the top menu bar and pick the "Go to folder" menu item then put in ~/Library/Application Support/Moi

Is there a "startup" folder inside there and a file named "snapshot" in it?

Hi Tim, for using the script in Mip's message above, go to Options > Shortcut keys and push the "Add" button and then press what key combination you want to trigger it. Then paste in the script code for the "Command" value of the shortcut key.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for this, managed to paste in script and use OK. One thing though, my screen put the grid on after using the script, had to go into Options to remove the grid. I was using short cut key as Mip had used Ctrl, Alt, S. Any idea why grid appeared back on screen?
thanks

Hi Tim,

re:

It's just what the script does - it turns off the grid, takes the snapshot, then turns on the grid.

Try this variation which will save the current grid display state and restore it instead of just turning it off and on:


script: /* Generate viewport image white background 4000, 2500 linewidth : 4 */ var prev_background = moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF; var prev_linewidth = moi.view.lineWidth; moi.view.lineWidth = 4; var prev_griddisplay = moi.grid.display; moi.grid.display = false; var prev_showxyaxes = moi.grid.showXYAxes; moi.grid.showXYAxes = false; var prev_showaxisicon = moi.view.showAxisIcon; moi.view.showAxisIcon = false; var prev_showviewtitles = moi.view.showViewTitles; moi.view.showViewTitles = false; var img = null; try { img = moi.ui.getActiveViewport().render( 4000, 2500 ); } catch(e){} moi.view.lineWidth = prev_linewidth; moi.grid.display = prev_griddisplay; moi.grid.showXYAxes = prev_showxyaxes; moi.view.showAxisIcon = prev_showaxisicon; moi.view.showViewTitles = prev_showviewtitles; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = prev_background; var name = img.getSaveFileName(); if ( name != '' ) img.save( name );
